Oh my! all you young folk! lol! typewriters weren't electric, computers were big honkin' things that took up a whole room in an office building. Before cassette tapes & 8-Tracks we had reel to reel tape machines, we didn't have texting but we had phones that were on a party line. Girls weren't allowed to wear pants to…

I mix 2 to 1 ACV & honey in a mug of hot water to ward off a cold. I'm curious now, maybe I should have one a day to see if it helps with the weight loss.

I too am allergic to about 98% of fruit & quite a few vegetables, thought I was the only one considering how many idiots I've met in my lifetime who seem to think it's a big joke! I really wish these people would have an allergic reaction to experience the pain, instead of thinking we just don't like the damn stuff. My…

If you google search their website you can then search what stores it's available at.

Forget it happened & start over again tomorrow.:ohwell:

I only use Wholesome Agave, but be careful which Co. as some brands also add crap to them.

Amounts of uncooked vs cooked varies all depending on the type of pasta. This site will help; http://www.ilovepasta.org/faqs.html#Q10

Everyone seems to have agreed that you should be eating back some or all of your execise calories but I'd like to add something else. Try to cut back on the sodium & especially watch the amount of sugar you consume. A sugar crash can give you really nasty headaches & low energy too. Might be a good idea to get your blood…

Sounds like jealousy to me, be thankful you don't have to see her 24/7. My husband does that to me! :sad:

Pitbull, Kelly Roland, JLo, Rihanna, Lady Gaga Enrique Iglesias Anything with a good fast beat :smokin:

For years my pelvis was locked in this position, due mostly from being a face first presentation at birth. My Chiropractor helped as far as freeing it from the locked position but exercise keeps it from slipping back. Try the following link, she has a video of stretching exercises.…

I'm severely allergic to all fragrances & have passed out &/or had an asthma attack. A ban would have been nice but as it turned out I was the one who had to quit going to the gym.

Ignoring her is good but if you really feel the need to say something, try this little dig. Tell her how much you've lost up till now, that this website has really helped you & then ask her if she would like the web address.

I'm considered borderline also & I've been experiencing the same, the dizzy spells & the eyes doing that weird crap is really getting on my nerves. I usually eat 5-6 small meals & between 1350-1450 cals daily & drink water, so it's not like I'm starving myself. However, in the last few days I can't even get going with the…

You can change to metric by going to Home, Settings & Change to Metric, it's second from the bottom. Don't know if this will also change the Water to litres, or if it's just the food

Don't be embarrassed & don't overdue it either. If your legs are really hurting, then alternate your workout days between elliptical & treadmill for a while. You could also do any of the leg strengthening machines, or just do some squats to build your leg muscles.

When we came first came to Canada, my mum almost passed out the first time she heard someone on the telly say, "He slapped her in the fanny"!

In the beginning I thought I was going to croak after 6 mins but now I can do 45 mins, half of that is going in reverse & look ma, no hands! Just take your time & don't give up. Oh yeah & I'm 59.

svey9480 Young girl with a ponytail. She would get it, mind you (for sure). Might ask her if she has got a boyfriend.

Born in England, raised in Canada, watch mostly US television. So to me LUSH would be used as; Look at that lush passed out on that lush green grass. <g>

My best guess as to why you are feeling like ca-ca is because of your blood sugar, you did say it was up. Are you getting any shakes, palpatations, or eye problems? Or a feeling of incoherance? Don't forget there are hidden sugars in many foods, also the weight gain is probably water. Also make sure you are eating enough…

Why don't you just googlesearch "zumba, you tube" something should show up

Being Canadian, I take Cold FX, that works the best but before that came on the market, I would make the following drink. Mix 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar & 1 tbsp of honey in a mug of hot water.

I do the same as Barbiecat, I take all the info off the Nutritional Facts for each item I use, total it up & divide by portions. Then save it as a meal.

I agree, move past it & jump back on the wagon. There's no way you have gained 2 lbs of fat overnight anyway, it will most likely be water retention & undigested food because of eating late.

Glad to hear he's going to see the Dr. He should request a Cardiac Stress Test, as well as having his vitals taken. Always better to be safe than sorry, I will keep my fingers crossed that he is healthy & just trying to get out of exercising. <g>

Anyone who starts an exercise program is supposed to get the all clear from their Dr. first, no matter their age. There's no point in starting a cardio program if you have an underlying condition that could kill you. Yet I seldom see anyone suggest that on these Boards.

The numbness seems to be a common problem, only my right foot used to go numb but after a few months it subsided. When I first started I too could only do 10 mins, now I can do 45 mins with no problem

It's because no one person burns the same. The best thing is to use a HRM get your reading for specific exercises & create them in your exercise database.

Canadian & British measurements are the same, 1 cup = 227.304 mls exactly! Put the following site in your favourites, I've found it quit useful. http://www.metric-conversions.org/volume/canadian-cups-to-milliliters.htm
