In Weighing the Evidence on Exercise, Barry Braun, an associate professor of kinesiology at the University of Massachusetts states: “When you look at the results in the National Weight Control Registry, you see over [...]
People are always surprised when I tell them I lost 50 lbs. without exercising. Turns out, as a woman, I probably had the best strategy. Controlling my diet took all of my effort and resolve. Adding on any type of exercise, which I despised, was too much for me. I’d been to Weight Watchers [...] Watch out when the stress blows in A few months ago I started to feel sick at work with a headache.

For a few years, my husband has been suggesting kickboxing whenever I lament my large “slavic thighs”. Joking about my [...] If you had asked me last week if I could survive three additional boys living with us, I would have said no. I’m not that kind of person.
