  • Unable to answer re what is normal for thighs. However, re the diet soda - the main reason would be that any carbonated drink does NOT rehydrate the body. It dehydrates you because it acts as a diuretic and you expel more than you take in. It is so important to remain hydrated - not only for the body to maintain all its…
  • I walk on a treadmill 6 days a week for 40 mins at home. I have lost 31 lbs so far over a 6 month period. The secret is to vary the pace. I walk at 3.5 mph on the flat for 5 mins, increase the incline to level 2 for 5 mins, to level 3 for 5 mins, level 4 for 5 mins, level 5 for 5 mins, level 6 for 6 mins, go back to the…

  • Just start by doing a little - several times a day. I started by walking for 10 mins, three time a day, three days a week. My difficulty was that I have at time very painful feet. Once I got used to walking (I use a treadmill at home), I then started doing 20 mins strait up every morning, and now I do 40 mins every…
  • I have found that the week I either dont lose weight, I have lost inches. But sometimes, when I have had a good week, and not lost either weight or inches, check if you are constipated - that can gain you pounds when you weigh in.

  • What is the 30 day shred??
  • Yes, count me in - and yes it is secular chammich - a 12-step program talks about God or Higher Power, however you perceive that to be. Looking forward to the group commencing.
  • I take a whole food supplement, 17 fruits and vegetables in a vegetarian capsule. Easily digestable and absorbed by the body and not man made. Contact me if you would like more information.
  • Trying adding a squeeze of lemon or lime to your water. It livens up the taste. Drinking sparkling or cabonated drinks does not rehydrate your body as they act as a diutetic - you lose more fluid than you take in.
  • This also happened to me - big weight loss can contribute to hair loss. Also have your Vitamin D levels checked and your oestrogen level as well as your thyroid levels. Low levels of all of these can also cause hair loss. ONe blood sample can be tested for all these. Vitamin D can be replaced by being in the sun for 10…
