As a girl with a quick metabolism, I've basically weighed the same since I hit puberty. As you may know from my introductory blog (hooray!), it wasn't until this past year that I really dug my teeth into fitness. One day, after about a month of weight training, I stepped on the scale and stared down at the number--surely I must have lost weight; I looked so much thinner! Nope. I had gained weight. 7 pounds of weight! Suddenly, my newfound confidence flew out the window. I knew that I wasn't fat, and knew that I had gained weight because of muscle gain, but I instantly became fixated on my weight. Read More »

I haven't seen you talk about it before but I struggle with the scale. A LOT. Right now I am weighing myself every day. Always. Would it be better to weigh once a week? I kind of know in my head it might be but cannot let go of…

For a long time, I have not been able to let go of the scale. And even as I walked it down the street to the garbage bin on the corner (I needed to have it far enough away from my apartment that I wouldn't go back and dig it out!), I still didn’t want to let it go.

Read More »Think Gunnar Peterson—the man who keeps Hollywood buff—doesn’t know what it’s like to have a belly roll? “I used to be a fat kid,” he told me. “In basketball, when we played “shirts” vs. “skins,” I would sooner knock out the kid in front of me than be a “skin.” My mom sent me to Weight Watchers meetings in Houston, Texas, when I was 10 years old.” I had the chance to work out with Gunnar (nicest guy ever!) last week and pick his brain about what it takes to really shape up. Here’s what he wants you to know.
