In the GTA and recommitting to healthier living, looking for friends who are on often, most of my friends' list hasn't been on in months or years.

I've done Biggest Loser Yoga, the one with Bob, and it's hard, the first time I only lasted like 10 minutes and I must admit I did give up, haven't done it since. The video gave me goosebumps, guess I'll have to try again. Didn't know DDP was doing stuff like this, I remember watching him wrestle in the 90s, but this is…

July 31st - JK Rowling (and her most famous Character Harry Potter) - Dean Cain (played Superman in the 90s) - Wesley Snipes (oh yah!) - Richard Griffiths (Uncle Vernon in the Harry Potter movies) - Mark Cuban (well there had to be one icky person!) Not a bad day overall!

...cuddling on the couch with my fiance while watching Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and thinking of how I can make the food but healthier!! ... also, planning my wedding and realizing I'm getting great quality stuff and I'm still WAY under budget!!

Circus music...really?? I always heard the teacher from the Charlie Brown cartoons... "Wha wah wah" LOL!! Anyway, yes the "eat less, move more" is good, but you also have to make sure that you're not each SO much less that it's not healthy. Also there are people out there that can take things to extremes; so yes it's…

there are two "for Dummies" books out there that are good for that. There is: "Living Gluten-Free for Dummies" and "Cooking Gluten-Free for Dummies." A friend of mine has Celiac's Disease and had to go gluten free a few years ago and both those books have been really helpful for her. They let you know what to eat and what…

bump so i can find the recipe again!

spninach has a good deal of iron in it, also red meat (not just liver) has iron in, you could make yourself a spinach salad w/ steak on the side or blend up some spinach with other fruits and veggies and some ice in a smoothie. Have you tried googling to see what other high iron foods are out there? I'm not 100% sure about…

I only started watching the show during season 9, when Michael V won and I really liked it. This season does suck and yes Conda is annoying but honestly Adrian and Daphne pissed me off more than Conda has. Coming back after a month and acting like they're "all that" and not listening to the trainers and other players…

click on their name, it'll take you to their profile and there's an "add as friend" button. Click on that and type a quick message about why you want to be their friend and then hit "send" hope that helps!!

Oshawa ON here, always looking for new and supportive friends!

Funnily enough I was watching "The Revolution" the other day and their personal trainer dude, Harley Pasternak, said he'd rather people a HUGE plate of raw fruits/veggies than a small bowl of nuts because the fruits and veggies have more water and fiber and will fill you up more so it decreases your chance of overeating.…

They have bikes that can hold up to 550lbs, they're probably pretty expensive, I haven't tried pricing them out but they are available. As long as you wear a helmet, get comfortable seat and take your time easing back into it, I don't see why wouldn't be able to ride a bike. But do what makes you comfortable. Also, if your…

totally worth it!! saw him Dec 2010 and my head hurt for a couple of days after I was laughing so hard. There's a lot of stuff he does and says live that they can't put on TV so yah, totally worth it!

there are a lot of pre-packaged stuff but your sodium doesnt' seem too too bad, I did also notice a lot of breads and malted stuff, is it possible you have a gluten allergy or intolerance? A friend of mine has Celiac's Disease and she can't eat ANYTHING with wheat, barely or rye, nothing malted either or she gets really…

I would presume so. I've worked with two personal trainers and they both worked "opposing muscle groups" during our sessions. I don't know if it minimized my gains or not but I do know that I lost inches on my upper arms and thighs pretty quickly and what muscles I did have did seem to tone up pretty quick so maybe it was…

I don't know what's more disturbing the idea of a prp-obesity site or the pro-anorexic/bulemia sites you can find out there. Either way it is extemely unnerving that any "righ-minded" individual would actively promote and try to convince other people that an extreme and ultimately unhealthy way of living is "fun"... Some…

LMFAO!!!! As Robin Williams said "Football head and raisinettes!" **giggles**

I mostly try to make sure that I can either idenitify the food or recognize where it came from. Also, if I HAVE to buy something "processed" I look at sodium content, both my parents and my maternal grandmother have high blood pressure so I really try and make sure that I'm not eating a lot of sodium if I can avoid it.

^^^^^ THIS!!!!! although in my case it's an ex-fiance and he was on welfare, refused to let me work and then would blow all our money at the beginning of the month so were stuck eating ONE MEAL a day that consisted mostly of carbs for the last two weeks of the month. I should have left sooner but didn't but still... all…

The 17 day diet is a book you can get at the official website, it think it's "17daydiet.com" or you can find it at some book stores. I bought the book and read it and it didn't sound like it was for me. It's an exericse and eating plan that works in 4 17-day cycles that you work through that it supposed to help you lose…

fitting into my wedding dress is the biggest reward, I bought it a couple size too small so I'm losing weight to fit into it, I'm also going to get a Green Lantern symbol tattooed on top (outside) on my wrist.

3,500 cals equal 1 pound so unless you eat 4000- 5000 calories it's safe bet you won't gain any "permenant" weight. That being said, chips have a lot of sodium so they can cause you to retain water which may show up on the scale as extra weight but it's only water weight so if you drink lots of water the next couple of…

healthy chicken parmesan (boneless, skinless breast meat with no breading), egg noodles with butter and parmesan cheese with a spinach salad and homemade salad dressing, salad has baby spinach, almonds, cucumber, apple and cheese.

Thanks for the support everyone! Unfortunately I don't have a way to contact the grandson, HOWEVER I got some good news! My grandmother was talking to the fiance over the weekend and mentioned that she had two of her grandchildren getting married in October a week apart and she was concerned about conflicting dates (GO…

@Bynsky, LMAO!! I LOVE Douglas Adams and I nearly died laughing when I read that scene in "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe" for the first time, thanks for the laugh again!!! As for who or what goes into chicken soup... who cares? Chicken is chicken, I use chicken when I make my homemade soup. The only canned soup…

I generally count it, you may be sweating but unless you're gonna wring your clothes out and mop your brow to figure out how much water you lost sweating and subtract it from the water you drank during your exercise you can't really tell how much of a difference it's making. I drinking around 750mL (24oz) of water,…

this works for regular potatoes and sweet potatoes, cut them into "sticks", drizzle 1 - tbsp of EVOO over them, add seasoning of choice (I use black pepper and a bit of kosher salt) toss to coat, back in 450F over for 15 mins, flip and cook another 10 - 15 mins and enjoy!!!

I only eat back enough of the exercise calories so that I'm netting 1200 - 1400 cals, also I ALWAYS go over my protein, regardless of exercise cals or not, if you're doing strength training your body needs the protein to help repair itself, unless you're like eating like 3 - 4x what they are suggesting I wouldn't worry too…

I put Ted Reader's "Bone Dust" on them and then the fiance grills them when he gets home. I serve them with baked sweet potato fries and some kind of veggie, not sure how "healthy" the Bone Dust is... it's lots of spices but not too much salt or sugar though, I don't think so anyway. And Bone Dust works for pork chops,…
