Yes this is true. There were several studies that the artificial chemicals triggers a hunger response in the brain. I quit diet Coke in aug 2015. I tapered from 2L bottle over 14 days. I feel better without it but miss the caffeine. I detest coffee but I feel drinking coffee is no different than any other beverage. If you…

start with baby steps. walk for 10 minutes a day.

add me if you want-a month into this journey-I focus on lifting weights more than my diet-but I am determined to loose 40 pounds but sticking to a diet is my shortfall. so at least I am more active, Can dance longer and do burpees without being so out of breathe...its a nice warm day out in the north east.
-
personally I think because we have social media-we move much faster into relationships than we did 5 years ago. I don't understand why people get together so fast-what happened to getting to know each other for a month before-hanging out alone? I think if you like him-keep him at arms length=don't get bitchy at him about…

Its best to alternate days for weights-if you did legs today-tomorrow arms. the best way to get ripped is 48 hour rest inbetween-for weight lifting. But I am far too lazy to rest so I do cardio on the days I don't do weights. If you have not been doing exercise-try the first few workouts with no weights so you can get used…

I used duct tape and taped together big 24" wrenches when I didn't have money to buy new weights-found them at yardsales=trust me-when I have 3 of these taped together-its about 20-25 lbs. perfect for curls and chest press..hey I used what I could find..now that I have built up my strength I have ventured to the gym. I…

I use tools I have around the house for hand weights. There will be about two months you will need to spend to get your strength up before worrying about weights. Also Yoga/body weight like plank type exercises will be all you need to build your strength. Running in place while holding a heavy book or tool straight out in…

ok I am a newbie here-what is Aerial? I also do weight lifting but I don't live in Maryland...but feel free to add me. I am in NH.
-
maybe so. most of us don't have all day to read everything-hence my quick reply. I also suggest finding some kind of chocolate protein bar instead of oreas-they have more nutrients that the body can use for fuel..that would be my second option...switcheroo=play choices=chose a cookie or choose something better.
-
I haven't read all the posts=personally-YES I do this often. I don't eat more calories without a PLAN of working them off. Otherwise I will never LOOSE weight. For me I don't loose weight-I just gain muscle. I have a very hard time with the whole starving myself to loose weight. SO I instead play switcheroo=instead of…

This sounds awesome. I had messed around at a place that had a pole. I can pull myself up the bar but I have no spinning skills..this is something I want installed in my basement when the honey gets his house built. Most dance burns a ton of calories especially if it has jumps and pushups in it..
-
I just go in the woods if I have to - when you get older you cant hold it otherwise accident!! That's my story and I am sticking to it=but I live in a rural area=if I was you-find where gas stations;/gyms/stores are at the mid point-then you don't have to be uncomfortable. I try to pee right before I do my workout.

I have 40 lbs to loose and just started here 11 days ago-feel free to add me. I track my food and sometimes have time to chitchat. I am from NH. Hope we can beat this demon weight issue!
-
I eat supper food=chicken n rice, sub, sandwiche. eggs. something quick and fills me up or I do banana and almonds and a protein bar that has 25 sh protein grams. usually I nibble all morning-I cant eat a lot all at once. often I eat about 1000 calories by 11am but I workout at noontime.
-
You can try it. I have problem knees and they ache-then I started doing calve raises=and the pain is gone..i use weights and do these every third day. So maybe it will help? If you have bone spurs in there it wont help but best to get it looked at via mri to find out exactly whats going on structurally. Sometimes you just…
-
I just got done reading an article about why to avoid 5 exercises-what a bunch of CRAP. Personally I don't give a crap what people think about my body. I like muscles and I want to get toned. I have no problem building bulk. It used to annoy me but now that I am past 40 I glorify in it. Im proud of my muscles. I did it…
-
I don't think its weird. I do them. I have a weak shoulder and do them to build the surrounding muscles. you can start with light weights and see how it feels? I often do exercises geared for men because they are harder and I like a challenge.
-
Great job!!
-
Ive been here for ten/eleven days-not gotten one nasty email. Everyone seems well behaved?
-
how are you feeling? I would eat what you can. almost a week ago I was sick with the crud going around-I stayed home and did not exercise for 5 days. I didn't gain or loose. But I felt much better resting. All I did was take short walks to get my lungs some air since I am prone to pneumonia. And if you ever get it-its a…

I believe you click on the picture of the person you want to add and the page should have a button to add friend
-
sent you a request-lets get this done! I want to get stronger and drop this weight!
-
Sorry that you have lost your way. Just start small steps daily. For me I do 10 minutes of jogging in place or walk fast for 10 min-if I tell myself to do an hour of exercise then forget I am too busy. By breaking it up in 5 or 10 minute blocks-it is easier to reach my goals. I have started here 10 days ago. I am pushing…
-
We can do this! Add me!
-
just starting out as well. goal of 40lbs. not sure what that is in kg. you can add me as well.
-
I found it helpful to log exactly what I ate. Its only been a week of food logging but I see now where I can make some changes. I also try to move around more instead of not doing anything. We all didn't get here overnight..slow and steady wins the race always
-
Nice that you met your wife on here!! That's really cool! you can add me if you like!
-
agree ^^^^ I would think every calorie right now counts to help nourish your baby. You could work on doing what I call-choose foods that have more value-I know for me-I struggle with junk food that is fried or fatty-I don't really like sweets-so I have been trying to replace one food with something else in that similar…
-
Welcome back! I am new too. 7 days in. I have been working out since the beginning of March or late Feb? And I need to focus on diet in order to see those numbers go down-BUT I also have been lifting heavier weights-so I have gained muscle=but still waiting for the fat to go byebye! The sugar is my biggest issue this time…

Thank you for those who have sent me a friend request! :smiley:
