Raise your hand if you watched Fat March on ABC last night.... My hand is raised but not proudly. As one of the biggest fans of The Biggest Loser, Fat March could have also been one of my favorites, however it didn't even come close. The show starts off with twelve contestants who are obese, who apparently knew they were going on the show to lose weight, but they weren't sure as to how. The Read more

Donald Trump and Fox are planning a show called "Lady or a Tramp," in which rowdy, bawdy party girls will be sent to charm school and taught proper manners. Great, because 1) when I think manners, I think Trump, and 2) I really needed another reality show to showcase the worst of womankind. They'd never do a show like this with partyboys, would they? ABC is filming a reality series in which Read more

We are pumped to share one of our fave stories from Self here on FitSugar! Back in the day, when we played double-dutch on the playground (or some simpler incarnation of that), we hardly cared about the value of the workout. All we cared about was having fun. It turns out that jumping offers a lot more than a good time: in fact, depending on the type of jumping exercise you choose, you can Read more

Bob Harper has been reshaping bodies for 11 seasons now on The Biggest Loser, and now he's focusing his baby blues on you. His latest DVD, Ultimate Cardio Body ($15), subtitled "Extreme Weight Loss Workout," makes me think of the show, but Bob seems kinder in this video even though the workout is relentless. Inside a brightly lit modern studio, Bob and a cast of four, with two women confusingly Read more

In Germany, these performers prepare for Women's Carnival Day, which kicks off carnival next Thursday. Doing whatever they please, women rule the day and drink late into the night.

This year, several friends and I started an informal dinner party club. Each month, we take turns hosting; the hostess makes the entrée, and everyone else is assigned a supplementary dish like a salad, appetizer, or dessert. Most recently, I was assigned the appetizer to go with a baked cheese and sausage ziti. What to serve, I pondered, with a hearty pasta and a rich frozen dessert? The answer Read more
