thank you to sanlin20. when i see information that i may not be interested in or want i do not feel compelled to write in and comment. i simply pass it by. i do remark about information that i do like because i appreciate the input from others. i feel we all have a responsibility to make others around us feel better. a…

have you watched the biggest loser program on tv? i find it very inspiring. in fact one of the personal trainers has her own website and will coach anyone who wants. remarkably its very inexpensive $4 a week. i have found it to be very informative and the coaches make you feel so good. they are very motivating and they…

i describe it as my 'top of the world" feeling.

i do know there is a lot of value to eating six small meals each day. 1) your body says don't sweat it she will feel me again in two hours so you don't get them i could eat anything in my path kind of hunger 2) by keeping small amounts of the right foods in your stomach your metabolism kicks on high 3) you burn more fat.…

i just read a reply from a lady yesterday that was saying she got an upset stomach. sugar will give you a quick high and a rapid crash to your blood sugar levels. that is what causes your reaction. if you eat low glycemic fruits and vegetables that will not happen.

i spoke with my personal trainer about this and she recommended that i keep my calories 1200-1300 per day. the first day i increased my exercise i was mad hungry so i ate baby spinach leaves as a snack or an apple or an orange. you fill in with foods like that. put in your browser foods that burn fat and those foods are ok…

you can also put in your browser foods that burn fat.

with fruits and vegetables you also need to consider whether it is low glycemic or high glycemic. low glycemic fruits and vegetables will not spike your blood sugar and will keep it at a constant level. there are also negative calorie fruits and vegetables that when you eat them they will burn all of the calories they cost…

i found this article on south beach diet five tricks for managing treats sometimes it seems as though Halloween is just an excuse for kids ( and the rest of us) to eat candy. if you're wondering how to enjoy theholiday while sticking to the sound eating principles , here are a few tricks to put in your bag. the following…

for anyone on this site. i gain nothing but sharing what has worked for me. it happens to be free and i am in no way affiliated with that site. i do believe they have great meal plans. prior to my finding that site i was going to try nutrislim from seeing the commercials on tv. when i checked into it you have to buy a…

i think that is a great idea. that would motivate me.

welcome, good luck and check out crosscrunch.com

its when you have your best workout. if morning is great for you then do it then. if you find working out at night , you don't have enough time to come down from your exercise high and it keeps you awake, then don't workout at night. i prefer mornings because i could get my workout in when my kids were home before they got…

a great meal plan with six small meals is crosscrunch.com. i have followed that and i was reading yesterday the benefits of drinking as much water as the meal plan shows. its definitely helped me lose weight. previous to that i would have said my metabolism was slow but not any more. thank you for your words of wisdom.

hi, i'm reporting in and i did 80 min running on the treadmill today. the program went up to 8.0 incline and 6.0 speed. i guess so far no one has taken up that baton.

i swam on a team when i was younger. swimming to burn calories to me is lap swimming. no stopping at the end of each lap and what is really weird when you perspire and you are in water. i don't swim on a team any more but when i swim for exercise i'm doing strokes and flutter kicking, arms come out of the water and back…

hi new guy, go to crosscrunch.com and check out the meal plans for guys. i feel what you are saying about proportions. i would guess that i was eating at least 2000 calories a day maybe more because i was gaining weight not taking it off. with the meal plan that i just mentioned i have turned tables on that bad boy. good…

good luck and i'll say a prayer. why don't you take along a healthy snack or two. go prepared so you can reach for something that won't mess you up for the day.

yes, i just put in my browser no fat pumpkin desserts and quite a few recipes came up. i am going to try the cheesecake using tofu. that sounds good. if you have a serving of potatoes eat a handful of pistachios, they will digest slower.

i did my 5 circuits of weight training today. no cardio however tomorrow is an 80 min cardio day fo me. is anyone up for that?

i also take fotos every couple months so then i can take a look at the size i am now and the size i was. that is motivating as well.

sorry i don't make excuses for myself. someone told me once "you don't give up the goal you reset the date". if you set a realistic goal and give yourself a realistic date to finish and then divide the work into smaller increments and reward yourself for achieving the smaller goals you will get there. in this situation a…

don't weigh yourself every day. once a week is fine. go to crosscrunch.com for a great meal plan and follow the proportions exactly. also drink a glass of water each time you eat. if you are a beginner on the treadmill there are programs for you but if you have worked out for at least 4 weeks go to the intermediate level…

Hi, we seem to be at similiar weights and i have 30 lbs left to go. when you go to the gym are you challenging yourself? i found it helpful to print out programs for intermediate and after 4 weeks i'll print out programs for advanced. on the intermediate level you should be doing 75 min treadmill running programs one day,…

have you asked your doctor if he can put you on an alternative medication that won't cause you to gain weight?

if you limit your calories to 1200 and you are exercising 5 times a week and burning 400-700 calories you will lose lbs. 400 is one treadmill running program and 700 is two.

good luck. i have noticed if i have a drink the night before i am more sluggish during my workouts. overall i probably drink 5 times a year and not more than two drinks during one time. as you get older you find other things instead of drinking. what surprises me are the number of guys who use liquor to get their nerve up…

Welcome

that's a great reason to stay away from those things. i wish that i had that reaction. but for me they are a thing of the past.

first of all since memorial day i have been getting religiously at least 6 glasses of water a day and it is a tall glass. the benefits are my skin has never looked better and there is value in your body processing that water. so i feel it helps you lose lbs and also you won't be able to tell from your first day of drinking…
