a girlfriend of mine has a horrible back and exercises to keep herself from further injury. She found Insanity a great workout that was good for her back but has found it tedious and boring...she prefers P90X but her back gives her problems if she does the whole program without a rest week from the program every few…

MFP gives you a goal and expects you to log exercise and eat back the exercise cals...fat2fit gives you a total daily calorie number that you eat each day based on your activity level but you are not to eat back exercise cals. I have found my actual intake to be pretty comparable either way...assuming you eat back exercise…

Do some more research on your own about this. My chiropractor believes corn to be evil but others will tell you popcorn is a whole grain high fiber wonderful treat. Do not eliminate anything because one person said so...figure it out with a little research of your own. It probably won't be hard to find evidence to support…

-Our judo sensei was a top level competitor in his time. His coaching skills are lacking. -I am a mediocre bowler. I however am a physics teacher and understand the physics of the game. I understand how and what to do to bowl a 300 game. I have coached a number of bowlers to a greatly improved game but I still drop my…

I love to run but the Treadmill can be a tad boring. I find I do all kinds of intervals on the TM or on a bike...2 mins at this resistance, 3 minutes at this speed etc...I look ofrward to the next change to either go faster or slower etc. it helps the time go by faster

This is a really great test of practical fitness. I need my mom to see it. This should be a minimum goal at least for all people. Thank you for sharing.

at least two cups black every morning..and perhaps up to 1-3 more during the day depending on the day and depending on how hard I am trying to increase my water intake

count them...they have calories and wonderful nutrients. I, however have to balance my fruit with a protein or even the natural sugar messes with my blood sugar...always fruit and nuts or fruit and cheese for me. By logging you will be able to see patterns like that and well a banana is 100 calories, and apple can be…

injuries are different than sore. If this is a one side type of thing I would go for a run or do something else fitness wise for a day or two to let the tricep heal. If the right side were also sore like this I would say push on.

I don't know...I call my hubby by his nickname out in the world but I call him by his first name in the house and around his family...we are very close. We have friends that have a really great relationship yet the husband's ring tone when his wife calls is the Darth Vader's Death March. I have seen a few people wrinkle…

It is always tricky to approach someone about making changes. I would start with this cute story...then say.."It was really fun playing tennis with you again. I hope we can keep doing it. Leave out the mention of making changes and not being too old. Just ask her to play with you as often as you two can manage. She will…

5 lbs in 3 weeks is a great start. You could probably set your goal a good deal higher than 1230 and still lose weight so do a google search for calorie calculators to find one with TDEE etc and find one that you feel is manageable for you. I would rather see someone eat 1500 a day and lose a little more slowly than…

My 11 year old daughter wanted to try a "kicking class" when she was about 4-5...so we started judo (more wrestling style martial arts) My husband started with her. Now all 6 of us do judo. I am a runner. The kids love to run races with me or do kids races. My 11 and 9 year old daughters run 5K races whenever they can. I…

me me me...judo and running..sent a request

I log it all for 2 reasons. One, I have gone over before on asparagus and blueberries. I nibbled on grilled asparagus spears all night long and kept grabbing blueberries when I would walk in the kitchen. I was over, not by a lot, but I was over and I was still eating mindlessly, veggies or not. Two, I helps me to see the…

In the US if it is sold in a package there must be nutrition labeling.

You are probably better off finding a more moderate 30-45 minute circuit like workout. It is varied and fast so you won't get bored or lose motivation as quickly. These workouts can be just as effective

I read a handful of response...but are you pregnant? Some of your experience sound a lot like first trimester issues? I don't know anything about shakeology so I cannot comment on that.

I am trying to find an appropriate way to manage this with my own kids. I think the ticket is to focus on healthy choices and eating more slowly to recognize actual hunger. Also I think a rule that water needs to be consumed between snacks is a good idea. We are pushing that as a way to keep them hydrated and not about…

I wonder if perhaps you need to visit a few different threads or websites that discuss the idea of eating more to lose...I know there is a philosophy of really fueling yourself etc to lose. Look at Fat2fit radio and eat more to lose more. Read through and suspend judgement and disbelief in the ideas until you have done a…

I LOVE the feeling I get when a workout challenges me and I notice the following day with that mild soreness. I do not love the feeling of sore that is so extreme that sitting on the toilet hurts.

You are right...I suggested getting fitted and then looking online. I also suggested to just be upfront with the people in the store and I bet they will work with you. I totally agree with you and we love our local store. My running store buddy has actually given me cost saving tips when money was tight so the best advice…

Then I suggest getting fitted at a running store then going home and ordering on line from Road Runner Sports etc. Some good running stores will do the analysis free only if you end up buying shoes..no shoes they charge you $30 or something but an initial fitting to determine your needs is a really important step. I…

bump...looks awesome...with or without the crab...

I LOVE EVERY WORD OF THIS>>>ESPECIALLY PENII

boobs... I am used to being short...the shrunken boobs I can't accept...I am only 5 ft and my 11 year old has bigger boobs than me now

OK Marnie...I hate that I totally understood this but I have watched the movies after my kids went to bed...drinking beer and eating popcorn...oddly fascinating

This is when I started doing better. When I got over the "so many calories" mindset. Yes it has "so many calories" but you are mentioning that you are not eating enough calories. When I started eating the nut butters or trail mix I was able to get my wonderful calories..which are neither good nor bad...just are ....I don't…

I struggle with "making" myself eat sometimes but it has gotten much better with time. One thing you can do is have more calorie dense meals earlier in the day. ie...add peanut butter to an apple...have a handful of trailmix etc. Your body needs fuel. It needs the right amount of fuel...not enough gas in the car and your…
