Anybody want to try intermittent fasting for 3 weeks?
Hello! I want to give IF a try for 3 weeks to see if it's a good plan for me. Does anyone want to try it as well? I plan to do 20:4, but you can do whatever you want. I have heard so many good things about this program that I want to try it out and see if it works for me. Happy New Year!!

No Scale in the month of August

Children after big weight loss
So I have been thinking about this for months for some reason so I figured I would get some opinions. I am single, not sure if I want kids, approaching 30.

Losing focus and willpower
I have lost ALL FOCUS!!! I don't know how people work full time and fit in exercise. There is always this downward spiral where I have a stressful week (which is every week) and it leads to little exercise, which leads to poor eating and then I am back at square one. I am not consistent at all and I am not where I want to…

Is low carb worth it? BTW I am a vegetarian
I haven't lost much weight since the start of the year, perhaps 5 lbs or so, which is starting to get discouraging. I admit that I am not 100% consistent, but I am slowly changing things. I was wondering if It's worth it give a low carb a try. I average 200 carbs per day now, which has been working in the past, but not so…

No Off Limit Foods?
I just received Fitness mag in the mail and there is an article on the Anti diet. They are saying that habituation kills the feeling that you can't keep certain foods in the house. One mother didn't bake cookies for her kids because she knew she would devour them. Her anti diet strategy was to have cookies available 24/7.…
