It’s officially halfway through the first month of 2012 and I, for one, am still trying to lose the holiday weight. I’m sure many can resonate with my present dilemma (right, right??? haha!). To be fair, I really did not put on THAT much weight, perhaps about 5-7 pounds only, mainly because even throughout the [...]

Liposuction is a Cure for Obesity Liposuction cannot cure obesity and cannot be used to remove very large amounts of fat from all over the body. It is only used to remove stubborn areas of fatty deposits that have not responded to diet or exercise. Fat cells that have been removed by liposuction will not [...]

Well, well, well….I finally got the chance to try out lipo. Well, laser lipo that is I had a 50 minute abdominal treatment, and a 40 minute arm treatment. I have long wanted to do that, in fact, even before I started blogging about my weight loss. I remember one time my doctor suggested I [...]

Since I started my yoga practice earlier this year, I have learned to redefine what healthy means for me. Before I used to think of healthy as just a physical state of being fit and of eliminating the not-so-good stuff in my daily life. Back then I focused more on getting rid of fatty food, [...]

Several weeks ago I had dinner out with some of my friends and they were talking about some lipo cavitation/lipo dissolving procedure they had read about from one of those group coupon sites.  They said it was something like RF treatments that used heat and radio frequencies to melt fat cells.

Before I even crossed the halfway mark with my current 30-day challenge (the no-rice for 30 day challenge, that is) , I found a new challenge I want to take on for the next 30 days: Cheshire Que’s My Spa Diet. Before I explain that, let me give you a quick background of my 30-day [...]

I am borrowing my friend Jeff’s hirit about Phiten in this blog posts title because, well, it’s just so fitting, right? Sometime ago I was invited to the press briefing of the brand Phiten where company reaffirmed it’s commitment to health and fitness. While I don’t attend many blogger events anymore,  I really made it [...]

When I first started this blog, I wrote about the wheatgrass drink that I had tried.  I must admit I wasn’t super sold on the flavor of it, but the health benefits are supposedly very good so I have recently been trying to introduce it back to my diet. Ideally it would be nice to [...]

Now this seems to be a complete antithesis for me…especially since I keep hearing that if you would like to lose weight, you should avoid eating at bedtime, right? However, if sleep is always elusive (which very often is for me) I’d be willing to give it a shot. After all, even the best sleep [...]

A few days ago I finally had to cut my hair. Well, trim it by three and a half inches, to be exact. I’m not to ready to go short again. However, I finally had to concede and cut my hair because it was falling like mad. Apparently, at times, weight loss can cause hair [...]
