Get It Right, Get It Tight: My Year in Going to the Gym

I went to the gym 44 times this year. How do I know this? Because a few months ago, I discovered that my gym knows more about me than I do. They know each and every time I’ve walked through their doors. They know what I don’t want to know: I don’t frequent them nearly as often as it feels like I do.

Seems Investors See Weight Watchers as a 'Before,' Not an 'After'
2015 is supposed to be a rebuilding year for Weight Watchers—the company is working its way through a refresh complete with new commercials and a revamped magazine featuring "beautifully prepared but not-so-perfect foods." But judging from their stock in the last couple of days, investors aren't biting.
Our Dumbest Diets: An Anonymous Jezebel Retrospective
It's January 2015—time to leave that holiday trend called "eating" behind and starve your tender, fragile bodies of nutrients. Oscar-winning director Lee Daniels is doing it!

Marilyn Monroe's 1955 New Year's Resolutions Were Hardcore
It's New Year's Day and, if you're anything like me, you were supposed to go to the gym and start eating healthier. If, instead, you ate fifteen pancakes and are now watching TV, never fear — even the famous had flaws they wished to fix. Marilyn Monroe's resolutions? "Turn her life around."

New Year's Resolutions I Actually Might Keep
OK, it's that time of year again. You're going to make that same dumb list of resolutions you make every year. You're going to post it on your Facebook page and your cousin is going to "like" it and two friends from work are going to comment "Amazing; go for it!"
Let's Face It—You Are Not Following Through on Any of This 'Resolution' Shit
Well, it's that time of year again—time to say RIP to gross, rickety Old-Man-Baby New Year 2012 and mop up the afterbirth of red, slippery, mewling little new Baby New Year 2013. And with the flip-flapping of the calendar comes your weird superstitious notion that you're suddenly going to have the fortitude to do all…
When it Comes to Achieving New Year’s Resolutions, Men Need Rewards, Women Need Social Pressure
Well, kids! A brand new year is menacingly high-tailing it upon us in the rearview mirror of our lives, AKA, time to scramble to transmogrify into a person with different thighs or a believable interest in Russia. That's right, it's time for New Year's Resolutions, that old hat we keep donning where we pick an…
Are New Year's Weight Loss Resolutions Keeping Women Down?
It doesn't take a PhD in How Shit Works Studies to understand that the notion that any of us can really "have it all" is absurd.
