I just joined Planet Fitness. I've only been there 3 times, but it's awesome. One of the best gyms I've ever been to. It's clean. All the equipment works. Lots of cardio machines available. The staff is friendly. I simply don't see any negatives at all. Maybe not all the gyms are run as well as the one I attend. I have had…

I'd like to know this too.

Oh I meant low carb actually.

I just got Chis Powell's book. Glad to see others are having success with it.

Yeah, I am a bit worried about having too much belly wattle after I lose weight. I don't want to have any kind of surgery.

I recommend the book by Judith Beck "The Beck Diet Solution". She teaches cognitive therapy techniques to manage cravings. It's working for me.

I always buy the Asics gel Kayano and two pair if on sale. They fit me perfect. They are also very consistent. I can even buy them online and they always fit perfect.

I really think that weight loss is very simply calories in and calories out. Managing apatite and eating habits is purely a mental and emotional deal. There are any number of eating plans that will result in weight lost if followed consistently. I've lost weight on every diet I've been on and gained it back once the diet…

I don't measure my fresh fruits and vegtables. I try to get at least 5 servings a day. I do eyeball how much and eat a reasonable portion. I measure quite carefully my fats, proteins and carbs. I track everything I eat. I did WW for a while and stick mainly with what they call power foods. Fruits, veg lean protein, beans…

Hi jbach2, I am wishing you great success. Staying motivated has always been the tricky part for me. I gained over 100 pounds after a series injuries, losses and depressing events. I am on track now and have lost 10 lbs so far. My life is in a good place again and I have a lot of support. I am already feeling some of the…
