I've been trying to lose weight for a while, but I haven't had much luck. Anyone have some ways to shed some weight fairly quickly but healthily? (link)

What I did to lose weight was go on a three day protein diet. Which means only eating meats like steak, chicken, tuna, fish etc as well as boiled eggs and nuts.
After that you just really start to eat more healthy. So more vegetables and protein and less carbs and sugar. It's also healthier to use real butter instead of substitutes, like margarine.
Try to only eat bread, rice etc before 12pm (4pm at the very latest) and not afterwards because it will digest even slower at night as your metabolism slows down.
Also fruit is great for snacks and in the morning. Nuts are great for snacks as well.
Try not to skip meals as well. If you eat consistently ( breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner) it will help with digestion.
Also your biggest meal should be breakfast and smallest should be dinner. So a plate of vegetables and meat or a bowl of stir fry is good for night. (Not like completely small, but just a decent size.)
Breakfast could consist of two eggs, toast (whole grain or rye) with spinach leaves, tomato and ham, a glass of water and a piece of fruit.
Give yourself one meal off a week. So for example, Saturday have ONE meal in that day off, like dessert or lunch.
These are just some helpful tips that I have used to lose weight. But I would definitely recommend slowly implementing it into your life style. So start with cutting out carbs at night and keep going until you've reached a consistent diet that works for you. I find that if you jump right into it, you
tend to stop your new eating lifestyle a couple weeks later and go back to your old routine.
If you want to excercise too, it's going to go for half an hour walks each day and do a quick fast five minute burn workout. So sit-ups, continuous running in one spot, jumping jacks and other cardio workouts. Do one of these things for 30 seconds them break for 10 seconds and then another one for 30 seconds and so on until you've reached the five minutes. This will help burn fat and walking will help release endorphins and speed up metabolism.

A little background, my boyfriend and I are 24 and 25. A month ago he got his second DUI. He does not have the means to pay for a lawyer so I offered to help. I gave my card to him to give to the lawyer but I never signed anything allowing my permission and what not.
Anyway, today I find out my BF has lied to me for about the millionth time (my fault I suppose for sticking around). I became so livid and the first thing I could think to do was to text him and tell him I am canceling the payment to the lawyer. So, I e-mailed the lawyer and got the card canceled. I have calmed down a lot since and feel like the biggest bitch in the world for doing that. I feel that I overreacted and am looking for advice on how to fix it. Thought about emailing the lawyer explaining I just didn't want anything charged till I could read an agreement. I don't know what to do just feel bad for actually going through with it.
I understand my BF was in the wrong for lying but ultimately I could have reacted differently. Just need help please. (link)

It sounds like your boyfriend has put you though quite a bit with his lies. I wouldn't stress too much about how you reacted. It was a complete and fair human reaction. Don't feel guilty for canceling, when you were the one to offer him the help in the first place.
If you really do feel like you've overreacted, then try giving the lawyer a call and like you said, telling him you wanted to read an agreement or have knowledge in the process and what's going on before being charged. It's only fair that you understand what's going on too if you're going to be the one paying him.
I would not feel guilty or feel bad about how you handled this. It's sounds like you've been through a lot of stuff with him and have stuck by him this whole time.
All you did was reach a point where enough was enough. Hopefully this shows him how much you love him and how much you are willing to help him, all in return for honesty.
