Bad Advice Women Get: Laugh Away Those Pounds
Ah, weight loss: the subject that’s sold a thousand glossies. I just got finished reading People magazine’s latest “Half Their Size!” spread, a semi-regular feature that celebrates regular people who have shed an entire person’s worth of pounds.
The CC Weekly Weigh In: Resolutioning
Happy New Year! Can you believe it’s 2010? Where did the year go? Where did the decade go? Hell, where did my sequin jacket go? And why did I think that chasing a Jager Bomb with a bottle of Andre was a good idea? Oh lord.

Skinny Jeans Are Better Than Sex?
If there’s one thing I know about Americans, it’s that we’ve got our priorities straight. We choose McDonalds over home-cooked meals, use plastic over paper (an attempt to “Go Green?”) and love fitting into our old jeans more than having sex. Wait, what?
Sippin on Gin and Juice. Sans Gin. For 3 days. Yep.
Fact: on a daily basis the majority of us treat our bodies like crap. Sure we work out, we (try) to eat healthy, we pour over the latest health magazines and shell out dough for cute workout gear. But there is nothing healthy about an existence made up of 3 hours of sleep; daily Venti Americanos; and too many weekends filled with booze, late night pizza and drunkity drunk dip, to keep count.

Going for the “Goal-d”
Goals are a part of life, whether you are the type of person who keeps them taped to your mirror or stored in the back of your mind. There are big goals, small goals, important goals, “wishful-thinking” goals (Chris Pine will be mine…), etc. Regardless of the type, all require a certain amount of thought, effort, and organization. Goal-setting is not only a blueprint for your own success but also a powerful tool in motivation–who doesn’t need that?

Body Blog: Wanna Be Thin and Healthy??
We treat our bodies pretty poorly in college. We stay up late, we put our livers to the test (daily), and we eat a whole lot of unhealthy treats. And we feel the effects on Monday morning when we’re trudging to class in pants that barely fit and a foggy, unhappy brain.
Eating Too Much? Make it Hurt!
With all the crazy diet fads, weight loss pills and general hysteria over how to shed extra weight, it’s no surprise when another completely ridiculous tactic comes out. And I’m not talking “only eat bacon” ridiculous. Allow me to introduce you to Dr. Nikolas Chugay’s mesh patch.
MTV Battles The Freshman 15
When we heard about the casting call for MTV’s reality show Freshman 15, we might have peed our pants a little. What could be more fun than watching freshman battle the bulge on national television (laughter, tears, and more than one beer and nacho binge guaranteed to ensue)? We are suckers for anything MTV, especially when it includes vulnerable freshies and crack-the-whip personal trainers.
The Fat Camp Chronicles: This Place Might Kill Me
I’m not sure if I’ll be able to make it here another two weeks. I may kill myself. Or someone else. I say this because yesterday I was forced to do a mini-triathalon. I’m not sure if I’ve ever endured greater agony than what I just experienced. Alright, that’s sort of an overstatement, but it really was incredibly effing hard.

The Five Questions We Ask Everyone: Fitness Guru, Patrick Murphy
If there is one man who knows fitness and health it’s Patrick Murphy. We found him on Twitter, Tweeting away helpful advice snippets for the taking. And why should you do what this man says? Maybe because he is the man responsible for getting both Eva Longoria and Olivia Wilde their #1 spots on Maxim’s Hot 100.
