vWe have all probably heard the term “relationship weight” with regard to the few added pounds couples sometimes tack one when they’ve been dating for a while, but what about weight gain after marriage? Is there even more of a weight increase that is typical in couples who have tied the knot? And is there a mood problem that accompanies (or leads to) this potential issue? More
Employees in labor-intensive jobs aren’t immune to the weight gain that plagues receptionists, lawyers, bloggers and everyone else who sits at a desk or cubicle or coffee shop all day — suggesting the cause of obesity & weight gain in blue-collar workers has more to do with diet, environment and workplace demands than lack of physical activity. More
Are you past 40, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and wondering why you’re still gaining weight? Many people might assume that they need more exercise or to avoid specific foods, but according to new research, it could actually be because of menopause. More

TIME, the New York Times and the Huffington Posthave all reported on on the real, hard-hitting issue that’s affecting people after Hurricane Sandy. No, it’s not gas shortages, the FEMA response or how to rebuild the devastation that hit the region. It’s weight gain! Obviously, a hugely relevant and highly pressing matter in the face of a natural disaster. More
Iâve always struggled with my weightâIâll be the first to admit it. But for me, the most frustrating part of my fluctuating weight has always been seeing how differently I am treated depending on what end of the scale I happen to be near at any given time. More
Unless you’re a dirty, dirty tabloid, we can all agree that body snarking on Lady Gaga is deplorable, yes? The pop star has been under scrutiny for her apparent weight gain since performing in Amsterdam earlier this week, but yesterday, she piped up about everyone’s “concerns.” She explained in an interview that she had, indeed gained some weight since taking a break from her touring/training regimen, but she’s not nearly as worried about it as Radar Online and OK! seem to be.

Eat for free, tell people about, and get paid. Perfect gig, right? Lindsay Anderson won a contest put on by Tourism Richmond in British Columbia to do just that. Iâm a professional eater too, and when I heard about this epic assignment, I wondered if Lindsay struggled with the same issues I do â how to eat at a restaurant every day, and stay healthy and fit while you’re at it (and hopefully, avoid gaining weight, too). I admit, there are times when Iâm sitting down to a six or eight course meal, or am invited to judge a contest with dozens of dishes, when part of me wishes I were at home having a simple meal of veggies and meat (Iâm more or less a Paleo girl when Iâm not on the job). Nobody wants to hear a food writerâs woes, but when I work so hard in the gym it can be frustrating to feel like it goes down the drain when I have a heavy âworkâ load (I know, I know). More

Blisstree isn’t Entertainment Weekly, so we’re not posting recaps of Breaking Bad, or really anything about the show at all (don’t worry; this post doesn’t require a spoiler alert). But as chatter about the show’s characters and actors ignites, there’s one discussion thread I do want to address: The one about Skyler White’s weight. Despite the interesting progression of her character and her high quality of acting, fans seem more interested in calling Anna Gunn fat, guessing at her history of plastic surgery, and pinning down the details of when she was last pregnant (it was 2006, if you must know). Thankfully, she’s kept clear of the cruel discussions, but is this really all we have to say about her? It would seem so, and that makes me sad. So here’s my request: For the last season of Breaking Bad, let’s stop talking about Anna Gunn’s weight, and watch her be a great actress playing an awesome character instead. More
“How much weight will I gain if I quit smoking?” is a question many women ask when they’re contemplating their last cigarette, and according to French and British researchers, quitters who don’t use any supplements or quitting aids gain an average of ten pounds in the first 12 months after they quit. That’s not only higher than the standard answer given (most quitting lit cites a figure around six pounds) but it’s also twice the amount that many female smokers say they’d be comfortable gaining. But researchers still emphasize that, even considering the health risks associated with weight gain, quitting is the better choice, and that the data doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll gain that much weight.

Summer is a time for lazing around and soaking up the warm weather. Throw in a few barbeques, some patio drinks, and poolside parties and you have yourself a holiday weekend. It can, however, also be a recipe for packing on pounds of body fat if youâre not careful. Here are a few tricks of the trade that you can apply throughout the summer to keep your belly fat in check (at least, long enough to last through bikini season). More
With obesity rates continuing to climb, are we part of a society that just doesn’t give a shit about our health anymore? Possibly. To find out just how we can give more of a shit and how to lose those extra pounds once and for all, we talked with personal trainer and nutritionist Karina Inkster, author of How to Give a Shit About Your Health. Inkster believes that one of the main problems with American’s health today is the fact that we are not always honest with ourselves about our bodies. We listen to media’s interpretation of what is beautiful (when we all know that’s often not even realistic), we make excuses for not being fitter and we tell ourselves that health problems won’t happen to us.
We sat down with her to find out more about the “untruths” we tell ourselves and how to fix them once and for all–including ditching those extra pounds we have been ignoring all this time. More
This morning, the Today show featured a story about Jessica Simpson, and what else…her weight. People magazine snagged the first official photos of Simpson, her fiancĂ© Eric Johnson and their new bundle of joy, Maxwell Drew. “Life has completely changed,” Simpson told People, which is awesome. But one thing hasn’t changed: the media’s obsession with her weight. More
