  • I just got my fitbit 2 and tried it out in my water aerobic class today. It worked beautifully and I wore it on my wrist. The only thing was, it only recorded 45 minutes of a 60 minute workout. That could be when I was in the deep end and doing leg work, perhaps. Not sure, but, will continue to monitor it. It is very easy…

  • I can only tell you from personal experience. Since I now do weight strengthening and at least a hour of cardio every day, my body has transformed drastically! I have muscles I didn't know I still had and they are firm and formed!! It increases my metabolism and melts the fat faster, too. Imagine a pound of marshmallows to…

  • I don't usually eat protein bars, but, I do try to keep Musclepharm - Combat Crunch Chocolate Cake bars on hand. There are a few different flavors and all are delicious. This is a great chewy bar with 20 gm of Protein and only 5 gm of sugar, which is really good. It takes away all that candy bar cravings and chocolate…

  • Yes, go by what they say, I mean, as a guideline. Go by how you feel, too! Do you have enough energy, how do you feel with 1200 calories a day, is it enough? Pay attention to your carbs and protein, too. If you are working out regularly, like every day, then make sure you are getting plenty of protein!! Drink tons of…

  • I started clean eating in January, 2016. It took me awhile to get use to it, but, it's pretty standard and easy now. I read labels on everything! If there is chemicals or names on the label I can't pronounce, forget it! Oh, and I try to eat thing with 5 or less ingredients in it. Mainly eating just fresh fruit and…
    in Have you ever tried clean eating? Comment by tamyena July 2016
  • I'm staying between 1200-1300 calories a day. MFP says my target is 1600, but, I want to lose at least 2 lbs. a week, which I have been doing and maintaining. I work out, mainly swimming or walking, 5-6 days a week, using up around 700-1000 calories a day. It feels about right for me though, I am losing consistently and…

  • I am on the road to being healthy and around 80 pounds lighter! It's going so slow! I'm 58 and have increased my activity. I'm weighing and measuring all the food I eat. I am drinking loads of water, too. I know this is my journey, but, just wish I could see some awesome results a lot sooner!
