Hallelujah for old gents! I was looking for a post regarding this problem and found this old thread. I tried the towel on a workbench / large screwdriver method and it worked. THANK YOU!!!

A go-to DVD for me is Jackie - Xtreme Timesaver Training. Cardio and Strength - 30 minutes. When I first did this workout over a year ago I used NO weights, then 3 pound and now I use 5 pound weights. It's about a 250 calorie burn workout according to my HRM. Great for shoulders and arms!

WAS a Minnesota North Stars fan for many years until Dallas stole them! :smile: Love the Wild now. College hockey is my favorite. Go Gophers! This week is the Minnesota State High School Tournament, a long tradition of excellent hockey. Hockey people are the best!

I too was listening to The Splendid Table and heard the guest, Anna Thomas, talking about this green soup! I am so glad to hear that you tried it and liked it. I am going to give it a go. In fact, I ordered her cookbook called "Love Soup" and I am excited to try more of her recipes. From Amazon: "Love Soup also provides…

The recipe sounds horrible (to me) but the aromatherapy prank is hilarious!

Had my first one at The Local in Minneapolis several years ago...definitely a fan!

ha! :drinker:

Stash Chai Green Tea My Fave.

Frozen diced mango - for making mango salsa (yum) Goat cheese medallions - individually wrapped (70 cal) great for snack with a dollop of... Trader Joes Mango chutney on a rice cracker And for the grand finale......Dark Chocolate Toffee with Walnuts & Pecans

I wouldn't believe you but I have followed the same path. I quit the gym where I was reading magazines while on the treadmill,and then I ramped up my workouts with both strengh and cardio exercises. I never starve myself or deem any food to be forbidden, just manage the quality and quantity. Congrats and continued success…

I like Jackie's Xtreme Timesaver Workout. I got the DVD on Amazon for less than $10. It's a strength/cardio combo workout and you will need hand weights. I started out with 3 pound and over several weeks have worked up to 5 pound weights. I like it because it is only 30 minutes and gives me a solid workout. My heart rate…

Never.

You look great!! (except for that Rangers shirt) Just kidding. :smile: I'm a MN Twins fan with not too much to cheer about this year. Wishing you continued success!

I did an 8 week workout a while ago called Kettlebody by Brook. It's a 3 DVD set and includes cardio, sculpt and yoga. I did drop some pounds but the inches lost were more significant. I did get a little bored by the end but I think that's because I have a short attention span! Thanks for the post. I am always looking for…

Love Kerri Walsh and Misty May! This must be the workout from Womens Health magazine? I had not seen it before so thanks for the post. I plan to give it a try.

Same here. I will check the serving size and then go right to ingredients.

I have done parts of P90X. My favorite (of the workouts I have tried) is Core Synergistics. The Kenpo workout is pretty fun too. My husband and son say that the Ab Ripper workout is killer so I am going to avoid that one for as long as I can. I don't mind the guy, is it Tony? - plus it looks like you can "turn him off" and…

Runnin' Down a Dream - works for me too! Radar Love - Golden Earring Runnin with the Devil and You Really Got Me - Van Halen

Co-worker today said "You are shrinking!" :smile:

This works for me too, but I agree that you have to do what works for YOU!

YES!!! One of my favorites. I can find them in the natural foods section of my local Coborn's grocery store. Three squares after dinner satisfies my need for "a little something sweet" to let my tummy know that we have come to the end of food intake for the day. A great finish!

These were a big hit with my family. I served them along with a mixed fresh fruit salad. Enjoy!

If you like Jillian you will probably like Jackie. I am about two weeks into her DVD called: Jackie Warner's Xtreme Timesaver Training It's a compact workout using multiple muscle groups and combines strength with cardio, similar to Jillian's Shred DVD. I like it because it's only about 30 minutes and my HRM says I am…

This works for me: Stop eating when you are no longer hungry, rather than eating until you are FULL. A subtle but important difference. (it was hard at first, now it feels normal)

Recently made egg salad with avocados in place of the mayo. Add a bit of lemon juice, chopped chives and pepper. Yum.
