I know what you mean about not being motivated enough on our own. I am sooo lucky I found a group of ladies that love to work out so they push me. you should look for a group that you can join, like a mountain biking group or a running group etc that way you get to meet people who are into working out like you. I signed up…

most standard pools have a distance of 25 metres so when you say your goal is to swim 40-50 laps, what are you considering a lap? do you count one lap as there and back at 50m or there one lap 50m I hope I am making sense. 40 laps at 25m per lap is equal to 1km which is what I swim right now. I just want to check my…

A good bread substitute is the squirrelly bread or steady eddy bread found at most grocery stores and costco. It can be a bit dry to eat plain, I always toast mine, much better toasted.

I tried the new low carb diet the Dukan diet and it worked, I lost 10 pounds in less than two weeks. It also sucked as far as variety of foods, you eat no carbs no veggies for 5 days, then you alternate one day no carbs another day carbs and veggies (low carb veggies) for about a month then you slowly introduce carbs but…

I feel for you! If it weren't for my fitness buddies it would be a little too easy to stay at home. If you can't find a friend to work out with try signing up for something. I registered for a triathlon last year and felt obligated to train, I also found a lot of others to work out with who were part of our local Tri club.…

I don't like eating breakfast but realize how important it is so I eat about 1/2 a cup of yogurt with some crushed walnuts and mix them in. It is healthy for you and tastes good. On other days I may boil up a bunch of eggs and have one for breakfast. there a so many good choices to play with out there, you just have to…

you sound just like me, only I have a bit more weight I want to lose. I weight train only 3 times a week because I do a full body workout each time. I also train for triathlons and the training guide is to lift weights at a lower weight for more reps. I do the recommended 2 sets of 15 reps for my entire body. I have really…

I am also 5'4" tall and currently weigh in at 150lbs. I set a goal weight of 125 to 120lbs because I used to be that weight when I was in great shape. I play a lot of sports like soccer, skiing, ball, running, triathlons and mountain biking so my body needs muscles to keep up the strength to do these sports well. I will…

Whenever I am away camping or travelling for my sons hockey trips, I make sure I stay in hotels that have gyms, if not then you could check out a local area gym and pay a drop in fee or see what they have for someone like yourself who is only visiting for a bit. If that doesn't work, at least try to run or bike outside,…

Thats great you and your hubby are doing this together, support from a workout buddy is really helpful and motivating. I can't see how you can combine two people on one site, I think it would be best if you both had your own accounts set up with myfitnesspal and recorded your own exercises. To add exercises you can search…

I wouldn't trust the equipment at the gym, it is an estimate, and when you put in your weight it is not very accurate either because not everyone who has the same body compostion. I didn't realize how many people stayed below their extra calories from workouts, I have not come close to consuming the amount of calories…

one of my favorits is the smart food white cheddar popcorn, it is healthier than any other brand and it tastes amazing!! I also love to freeze my yogurt tubes and eat them frozen. I also love fresh or frozen fruit smoothies.

I know what you mean! There are certain times when my body is craving carbs and high fat foods, mostly after I have exercised alot and not eaten enough during the week. I guess my body is fighting back to gain some weight, plus my blood sugar levels are out of wack when I don't eat enough and the right kinds of healthy…

good for you to say to heck with getting older as an excuse to gain weight. As you probably already know as we age our metabolism slows down, so if you want to keep eating what you want you have to work out more or slowly cut back on your food intake and make healthier choices. I love using this program because if you…

I found when i first start to exercise I actually gain a little bit and then it seems to take a while before the weight loss kicks in. For me it was because I was building lean muscle tissue, which can cause some swelling and also you may be gaining muscle quicker than you are losing the fat. It will all equal out you'll…
