I'm trying to lose 5 pounds in time for a vaction in early March. I realize I might not lose "real" pounds but I'm desperate. I've been working out and trying to eat better but am not seeing results (plus, it's Girl Scout cookie time!). Has anyone done the South Beach Diet? Phase 1 sounds too...

Is there a blood test you can get at the doctor's office to detect food allergies? Thanks

Has anyone tried the Zone Diet at Home delivery service? I'm very tempted to sign up because I hate cooking and therefore tend to eat lots of takeout. I heard the food is actually good but it's very expensive. Any opinions? Thanks www.zonedietathome.com

I think it is enough time although I've become much more lax on my workouts as I've graduated from college and started working. Eating well accounts for most of your results so focus on that. Even if you worked out for 2 hours and then ate fast food at every meal, you certainly wouldn't lose...

I'm also petite- barely 4'11" and 105lbs. This sounds so skinny to "tall" people, but they don't realize that when you're petite, even 5 lbs is a lot! I agree with the other post, if you're short, your fat can just stick somewhere, like the belly. I've had a belly forever (nothing major, but...

I'm finally trying to eat better and cut back on junk. I work the 3-11 shift as a nurse so I go to bed around 2-3am (I'm a night owl) and get up at 10-11am. I have a moderate lunch, big dinner and am hungry again at midnight. I feel bad eating so late (I usually have pretzels or chocolate...

I bought the P90X series but haven't really used it since you need a pullup bar for most of the upper body work. I bought the bands thay sell on their website that you hook on a door if you can't install a bar, but they didn't work for me. So I would say only get it if you have a pullup bar...

Does anyone think the ab wheel is a good product? I know it was popularyears ago. I was thinking of getting one since they're cheap and I read somewhere that it gets you results.

RE: What is the deal with Hydroxycut and others.... I tried this many years ago. It made my heart race, I was tired but couldn't sleep, I had a terrible headache. I basically just laid in bed. And I only took half the recommended dose! There was no way I would exercise. So I stopped after 2...

Just wondering if there are any former junk food lovers out there. I'm 27 and eat so much unhealthy food. I'm finally starting to gain weight since I'm not really exercising. I just feel gross- I'm constantly bloated and/or constipated- which in turn, doesn't really make me feel like working...

I work at a restaurant that has takeout. You pick it up at the bar so the bartender is responsible for taking the order and getting your food out. They are usually the ones who get the meals together- it takes longer than regular meals since they have to get boxes and put all the condiments in...

Is it normal to be tired during the 1st day of your period? I'm just so sleepy- I could take 4 naps! Thanks! (I'm 26)

Wow, you girls eat so well! I wish I craved healthy food cause unfortunately, my 26yr old metabolism isn't working as well as before! I had: Cheerios with 1% milk Ravioli in tomato sauce M&M's ice cream cone Cake Pot Roast with gravy mashed potatoes Macaroni and cheese...

I'm almost 27 and I've realized that I can't wear my underwear from when I was in college because I get that lovely roll of fat hanging over on my hips. I don't exercise as much but I'm relatively the same clothing size/weight- I'm just a little bigger in my waist/hip region. Is this normal...

Over the past year, I've gained 10 lbs (I'm petite so that's a lot) from slacking on working out, eating tons of junk (I eat lots of processed and carby foods) and drinking lots of beer. Over the past month, I've felt more and more bloated and constipated. Is this due to a food allergy? The...
