I recommend two books that can really help you with your goals; "The Power of Habit" and "the instinct diet". Good luck on your journey to discover more of yourself.

It sounds as if exercise would be something that would yield the best results for you. Diet doesn't do anything for flab except make more of it. Exercise gets rid of it. Exercise can be anything that involves movement. In my case I HATE to sweat so I go to the local rec center and workout in the pool three days a week. I…

Good for you. You are an inspiration.

Sweat. Mine and others.Hate the smell in the weight/cardio room. Which is why I'm into aqua calisthenics, walking and jogging. I also like to chat with friends while I'm warming up and cooling down. Pool's big enough if someone doesn't like our conversations they can go elsewhere.

You might want to consult your doctor and have some blood work done. Fatigue can be a warning sign that something is wrong. Voice of experience here.

Are we talking about the whole door or just the area near the door knob . I guess I do the whole door maybe once a year; more if I see dust or cobwebs or something. The areas around the handles get done a lot more often. Love the Mr. Clean Magic pads for this.

I agree with your definition. Bingeing is about control not calories. I don't seem to have that problem since I signed on to myfitnesspal. Which is one of many interesting things I've noticed since November. I think it helps I don't regard this as dieting; just keeping track of food and exercise. If there is a diet out…

Beautiful.

Agree Rebok's are better for those of us with wide feet.

If the friendship dies because you can't lend the money then, at least, you are not in a financial bind as you might be if the money couldn't be paid back.

I have a similar pattern. Mine isn't as well spaced as yours though. I just have a long period with little or no loss and then suddenly the weight drops off. A while with steady loss then back to no loss. If I just hang in there though it does come off.

Tremors-all four of them The Thin Man - all of them Indiana Jones - all White Christmas Lord of the Rings And I can already tell that One For The Money is going to be a must see again.

Yes, walking is plenty enough. You might like to buy Trekiing poles and use them. I got mine at Walmart for twenty bucks. According to studies at the Cooper Institute they will increase the benefits of your workout by twenty percent. This gives your arms a mild workout and increases your stability. How to instructions are…

Witch World by Andre Norton paperback The Gods of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs Kindle The Sharing Knife by Lois McMaster Bujold iPhone Audible Seeing the ads for the movie John Carter started me on a scifi/fantasy kick. Especially the old ones that inspired the movie.

I was three months into my program when I had my first NSV. I took a bite of a cheese biscuit. I love cheese biscuits, but this one had almost no cheese and was flavorless otherwise. I put it down thinking "this isn't worth spending my calories on." Now I am looking at my daily plan as if it is my bank account; do I want…

Okay, original study that determined sixty-four ounces of water was needed in a day (that's 8 eight ounce glasses) was conducted in the very early 1940's. It's purpose was to determine how much water soldiers needed to carry with them in the North African desert while eating dry concentrated rations. If you are eating…

Adding exercise means you can add more calories and still lose weight. I try for at least 30 minutes of light exercise six days out of seven. It really helps. Also getting "paid" in those extra calories makes me want to keep exercising because I really do love my food. I've lost twenty pounds so far doing this.

If you are exercising you may be adding muscle as you lose weight. Muscle weighs more than fat. But you also need to keep careful track of what you are eating so you can learn just what your eating habits are. Trying to cut calories before you know how much you actually consume can be self defeating. A food diary and…

My thyroid went out and even though I was eating only 1000 calories a day and running two miles I still gained weight. Thank goodness my doctor knew me well and believed me when I told him about my calorie intake and exercise.

I like seeing how exercise effects my daily intake. It gives me incentive to exercise the way I need to. Because of having had chemo, and a knee injury, it is important that I exercise daily and those extra calories can either mean I can have a treat or count on a bit of extra loss. I'm in this for the long haul, so it is…
