It leaves a nasty after taste in my moth, give me headaches and the poops

I grew up in a dessert family too. We keep a bag or Werthers in the cupboard and I take one after a meal for that sweet taste

A cup of herbal tea.

If you aren't sure what you should be doing in the gym, investing in a couple of sessions with a good trainer might be a place to start. Let them know up front that at the present time you are only doing a couple of sessions with them but may be back to get more information later. There are a few web sites that show…

That's why I work out at 6 AM

Thanks for asking. I am doing well. I have been on track for 10 days minus a saturday evening where some very tasty South Afican syrah got the better of me. I am enjoying the gym and teh encouragement I get there. House work got done early this morning along with the laundry and I feel content. And you?

Thank you for this post! You look amazing

Maybe, what she is saying is that beauty is the gift inside and not the wrapping. People who judge soley by looks, body type, etc. are truly missing out on what a person is all about. And yes...I am not a super model

Cadbury Mini Eggs.......need I say more?

cook them with creole spices, add andouille sausage and serve over rice

I just found this thread today. I am 51 years old so I guess I qualify. In 2009 I lost 87 lbs and have slowly let 50 of those creep back on. I make resolutions and promises to myself and then I mess up in some way. Hopefully, keeping accountable to people who have some of the same age related challenges might help. My…

Your belly is smaller and your hip bones are more pronounced. I agree it is time to start with weights. There is a ton of information on line about lifting. Bodybuilding.com is an amazing resource. Oxygen Magazine has a lot of information on weight ttraining as well. Or...if you go to a gym, hire a trainer for a couple of…

When I first separated from my ex husband, I was told by a counselor that there are 3 essential things to help with the stress; eat healthy, sleep and exercise. Even juts going for a walk does wonders for your mental state. It is very hard to deal with it all at first so you need to be very kind to yourself. Start by…

Boxing....it works it all. An hour with my trainer and I am toasted

The people that pay for a personal trainer and do a set, walk for 5 minutes, do a set, talk for 5 minutes. It would be great if they were talking nutrition or workouts, but the one at my gym on Sunday was talking about movies and what she did the night before. If you are paying top dollar for a trainer ( and unfortunately,…

We have worked out togther a few times and she is one of the best trainers I have worked with. She teached two classes at the gym, a cardio/circuit class and a strength class. I see guys come into her class…

Get the Clean Eating cookbooks. The recipes are awesome

Have eggs and a piece of whole wheat toast for breakfast. As for eating a salad while people eat something yummy....I have had some pretty amazing salads in my life and been very happy with them as a meal. Having just been on a cruise where there was food in abundance, I can feel your pain. There were some days that…

padded bras to enhance the area?

We are going to France in July but our travel agent sucks. I found I could do a lot better with expedia.com and tripadvisor.com

Grade 6 I started gaining weight and have never been thin since.

reading, using a trainer and watching people in the gym

I started at 340 lbs... I use the elliptical, the exercise bike, lift weights and do yoga. I love boxing ( real boxing...not box-fit and not kick boxing) I do exercise classes and I go for walks. The only thing I don't do is run because it kills my knees. All exercise is fair game. Take care that you aren't hurting…

My ex used to accuse me of cheating when I traveled with work. I met with both men and women, went for dinners with them but never considered sleeping with one of them. I had made a commitment. He on the other hand was sleeping with women he worked with.. Maybe he is the one who has strayed and is trying to cover it up
