    Pizza bad for you?

    Is the kind of pizza you get in pizza shops (thin crust- not grasy like Pizza Hut) all that unhealthy? For some reason, I always thought it wasn't too bad since it has protein, carbs, fat, calcium, etc. But everyone makes a big deal about it being jumk food. Any opinions?

    running + body frame

    I'm a petite 22 yr old- 5ft, 100lbs, small boned but muscular legs. When I run during the week, I usually only do it 2 days in a row, then take a day off before I run again (I do step on weekends) because I feel like my legs get tight- I do yoga after each run though. My friend, on the...

    Weights + cardio

    I started doing my weight training and cardio in the same workout (not intervals). I jog 5 mins to the gym (on college campus), do weights for about 20 mins, then go out and run again for about 15-20 mins. I feel like I get a good workout, but I know I'm not running as long as I normally would...

    Thin Celebs

    I'm so amazed at how thin some celebs are! I just saw some photos of Whitney Houston, and she looks like she's all bones. How do these celebs get so thin? They look ok 1 day, then a month later, they're totally different. If I don't eat, I get tired- how can they exercise so much and eat so...

    Plain old Walking

    I'm in college and, of course, the weight seems to be coming on a tad since I often eat junk instead of "real" meals, and I cut a day off my workout schedule (down to 3 cardio, 2 toning days). Anyway, my question is about walking... If I walk to class (20 mins each way) instead of driving, will...

    Help- want to lose 8lbs in 1 month!!

    I have 1 month until I go back to college. My goal for the summer WAS to lose the stubborn fat on my stomach, and the layer of flab gained on my butt and thighs over the past year. I'd say losing about 8lbs would be good (I just need to lose more fat- I'm sure I'm toned underneath the fat)...

    Hydroxycut?

    Yes Hi, I tried Hydroxycut a little over 2 years ago. I actually tried it because I fell for the article (advertisement!) in Oxygen- so I thought it was a legit product. I only took 1 pill in the morning (far less than the dosage recommended). It's true I didn't eat as much, but that was...

    Sugar + Headaches??

    I was wondering if anyone knows whether it's possible to get headaches from eating too much sugar? For 2 days this week, I've had to get up early for appointments. Then I'd take a nap. When I get up again, I'm still tired, so instead of cooking a meal, I'll heat up a slice of pizza and just...

    Weight Training/BodyPump

    A woman in my spinning class was telling me how when she used to weight train a lot (and do minimal cardio), she was at her thinnest. Now, she does more cardio, and not much weight training, but she's got more fat. Does this have any merit? If I say, cut out a day of cardio and do weights...

    Vacation weight gain?

    Hi everyone, I just got back from a week and a half's vacation to the Caribbean. While on vacation, I ate a lot of junk and fatty meals, and didn't exercise once. I just didn't care, or even feel 'fat'. But now that I'm back, I feel flabbier (especially by butt). Did the week and a half diet and...

    Getting toned arms?

    Hi! I have skinny arms and want visible, defined muscles. I can only see muscle when I "flex." I've been doing PS arm tapes (both tapes once a week) for months. I noticed a slight difference when I increased the weight, but it's nothing great. Any suggestions?? I also have MIS, and most of your...
