Hello First there are several different types of deadlifts but either way deadlifts does work the lower back and lats as well as your glutes and hamstrings. A good site to view the exercise and learn what muscles are worked is bodybuilding.com - Also see below: Deadlifts are viewed primarily as a back movement; as this is…

that is the ratio i try to follow - especially when lifting weights because of the Protein repairing your muscles. Try it for a few weeks then tweak when necessary!

The best Peanut Butter EVER!!

We weigh about the same but I am 5'4 and pretty active. I normally burn about 2300 calories per day (per my body bugg) MFP has be set at 1200 calories per day to lose about 1 lb a week. I wouldnt go below 1200. I have been told my several trainers that 1000 calories will put your body in starvation mode.

i usually pre plan when i go to Chilis by googling their nutrition facts, its a great tool so you will know if you are going overboard.

Yes you have shin splints. I get them all the time when I start running. You have to do the exercises to strenghten your shins as well as visit a running speciality store to get the right kind of running shoe. Good luck!

Hello I ran a half marathon and it was a great accomplishment for me. I would suggest going on the net and looking for a training schedule for distance running. I got one from Nike.com. It was a pretty good schedule to follow. I have a aunt who runs full marathons and she is much older than me....WOW. The advice she gave…

The biggest step is always the first one! You made the first step to becoming a happier, healthier you! Your children will love you for it! Best of luck!!

I have 2 nike HRM and one Polar. Never had a problem with the Nike HRM. My watch strap broke on the Polar. Both are good brands. I shopped on ebay and got great deals. Before buying, do your research. I think Polar is the one that's highly recommended but I just love NIKE.

Eating clean is eating "whole foods" from every food group that are fresh and from their natural source. If you want to research this more, I would suggest reading "The eat clean diet" book by Tosca Reno.

Just ordered my dvd set, will let you know once I get it! Cant wait!

I agree with Ryhenblue, if you dont have nothing pleasant to say, keep it to yourself! I think Ed handled all the negative comments perfectly. Its hard to be nice to rude, cruel people. This site was created for us to help one another. You are not going to agree with what everyone here does or say, so if you dont like it,…

Very well said! My grandmother used to say " treat everyone with kindness because you never know when you are entertaining an angel"!!

Hello from VA! My advice.....set small goals and log EVERYTHING you eat. You will be surprised at how much we over eat when you dont log your meals! Good Luck!!

I really like both of them! I loved both of their attitudes, especially Koli as he was running his marathon. I remember talking to myself that way to keep going...lol

I call those people......HATERS!

I hear Polar is the best but I am a nike girl so I have 2 of those and never had problems with them.

Ditto!

Toss the scale! Get a measuring tape!! As long as that number is going down, you are good to go!! Also get your body fat percentage and smile when you see that number reducing as well. I havent weighed myself in a month.

Tosca Reno also appears in a monthly column in Oxygen Magazine. She has several books out regarding eating clean. The first was the "eat clean diet" book. Very good reading on how you should eat real, organic, healthly food. Her website www.toscareno.com will explain it all. You can also go to www.eatcleandiet.com to do…

Are you referring to the Eat Clean Diet book by Tosca Reno? If so, its not a diet, she explains how to eliminate all the processed foods and eat only clean foods. I love the book and it has changed the way I grocery shop and eat. She also has recipes in the book. She does appear in Oxygen Magazine and in the Clean Eating…

also shop at your local farmer market! I saw the movie and i was totally shocked. I only eat free range chicken and feed my family grass fed beef and I only buy organic.

When i hit a plateau, my trainer/coach recommended that I eat more. Your body has gotten used to your routine and amount of calories you eat daily. Shock your body with a different workout routine and also eat more. It may be time to re-evaluate your diet.
