By the way, my wife is struggling with this exact thing. She's having a hard time staying in the lower zones because "it just doesn't feel right" and she wants to work out harder ... and the HR monitor says more calories burned right. ..... but regardless, it's true.

Jess - If your goal is to maximize weight loss ... high intensity cardio is not a good idea on a regular basis. By working out at a lower heart rate, you can actually burn more fat and subsequently you'll get better results on weight loss. Working out in high intensity zones all the time has a double negative effect for…

Egg whites ... the only pure protein source on the planet. I really like the whey isolate shakes but I am not sure if that's something you have to avoid with lactose intolerance.

I'm a 42 year old Dad and on my way to 60 pounds. 18 down!! Would be glad to help provide some extra encouragement. -Jack

ABSOLUTELY. If you need to get your nutrition under better control, journaling is the key to success!!

For sure! I started a good exercise routine many months ago and have been sticking to it. That was a big change for me; however, I didn't see the weight start to come off until I also got control of my nutrition. Not only calories, but the type of calories and the timing throughout the day.

Count me in! I'm 42 and in the process of trying to cement in some permenant lifestlye changes. I have four specific goals for 2012 related to health. 1) Reach and maintain my goal weight (60 lb total loss) 2) Cement in my recent lifestyle change on exercise (3-5 times per week for 1 hour) 3) Make permentant lifestyle…

6' 1" 42 year old male with a 190 lb target. It's a little over what the charts said but Dr thought it was the right weight for my frame. I was there briefly almost 8 years ago and now I'm aggressively working to get back!

I bet they have a run club at your gym where you can hook up with some experienced runners!

Agreed. Nasty. I don't care how good it is for me ... it's a pass.

It's great to know I have a problem like this to look forward to. I still have that nice layer of warmth ... but I'm working on shedding it!

Hilarious. Love it!

My trainer just told me yesterday that egg whites are the only pure (no carb, no fat) source of protein on the planet. Also, whey isolate protein is supposedly a great protein source ... easily digestible protein great for first thing in the morning and post work out.

Sounds great. Thank you!

Absolutely, sign me up Carolyn!

Hi "fish". I'm a card carrying, 60 pounds overweight, life time members of weight watchers. It's definitely me, not the program, to blame for that of course. My only advice is what I know works for me and that is regardless of weight watchers or whatever other tool you use, a huge key to success is journaling. I just…
