Walk into the gym. Look at all of the people sitting on the machines blankly staring at their phones texting, facebooking, snapchatting & twitting. Then go beast it up and sweat like crazy. Who's better off at the end of the workout?

Anyone who want's to add me, please do. I would appreciate your feedback.

The Rocket 3 is a bruiser, but come on now.... more horsepower never hurts or there wouldn't be Boss Hoss.

I find consistently eating the same things to help. I know how to weigh them, count them, shop for them and prepare them. That being said I try for some variety. For example, starch with my lunch could be brown rice one day and 1/2 a sweet potato the next or left over butternut squash. Changing up protein is easy and some…

Got my 1st pair of shoes from a running store 2 weeks ago. They are really cross trainers, but hey, I'm not a runner... yet. They measured each foot 4 different ways, evaluated my gait, brought out 3 options. I felt that all of them were too tight. Then the salesman explained that these shoes were made to be snug and move…

Thanks for the kind sentiments. After 4 days of cherry juice and switching to cherry juice extract capsules, the attack has subsided, but not yet gone. It never did get to a debilitating full out attack but it did have me limping a little for a while. I guess if it is the feeling of fat leaving my body, I'll take it for…

Pretty much says you need to be a vegetarian to reduce uric acid. When I was 1st diagnosed I was given a list on 8x10 paper, four columns of food and drink that can cause a gout attack and then another 8x10, four columns of food and drink that can should be ok without causing a gout attack. I would say that 10% were on…

Ok, just got back from Trader Joes with some cherry juice and ordered some cherry extract from Amazon. I'll report back in a few days. Thanks for the suggestion. I think if it does not get any worse, I'll try to stick it out without changing my meds until I shed some more weight.

I was fine on my maintenance dose and really didn't watch what I ate or drank. Now I've cut out alcohol, eat much less red meat, and have had a rapid weight loss. 20+ lbs in 30 days. My problem is I don't think my GP would be of much help as he prescribes the allopurinol and has never even checked my uric acid levels & the…

If I know I'm going out, I take a few minutes and pull up the menu online and pick my meal in advance. It helps me to easily order without the temptation. I also tend not to eat bread or apps since I have already made up my mind on what I'm going to eat. Sometimes I even pre-log it to keep me honest. As for the alcohol,…

Try swapping the treadmill for the elliptical machine. Much less impact. The recumbent bike is good too.

I personally use the heart rate monitor to measure the productiveness of my workout and I think it accurately measures the calories burned working out. Since I'm more interested in heart rate than steps per day, I got the Blaze and my wife got the Charge HR and likes it. If you are not so interested in heart rate than it…

Many moons ago, I went to a diet doctor. He sat me down in a room to watch a video tape that explained how my weight problem was not my fault as it was a disease that could be mitigated by taking the wonder drug combination Fenfluramine and Phentermine. Then after the short video was over, he took me into his office,…

I'm definitely drinking plenty of water & have not changed my caffeine intake. Woke up this morning with a headache & it got worse tonight. I feel like it's diet related, but I am eating carbs... Depending on my weigh in this week maybe I'll eat back some of the calories I'm burning off with exercise.
