I'm 44 and my knees don't like exercise - here are a few tricks I've learned! 1) SOFT KNEES - all jumping jogging bouncing etc over bend your knees and think soft springy thoughts! 2) ICE is your FRIEND - get those reusable ice packs (two) and a couple ace bandages and slap them on your knees as soon as you're done…

The Macros can be tweeked to your own requirements. I try to eat less carbs (but generally fail at that by the way and even when I do it I usually DRINK my carbs!) Here's the thing about "losing water" that I never understood before. Our body stores "instant" energy in water - like sugar water in throughout our body to…

I just finished the Barefoot Running Step by Step (Ken Bob's book) and a book on Gardening with Guineas (African Poultry) - now I'm reading another gardening book to help survive Ohio's wet, chilly February - "The Backyard Homestead" on my kindle. I read on my kindle and read used books from Amazon, which ever is cheaper!…

When I've been most successful (and that's not right now!) I have counted daily but tracked and adjusted on a sliding 3-5 days. Both calories and nutrients can flux and as long as you're getting a good average a few overs and unders don't really matter.

Eat a tic tac, drink a jug of water. Desolve a tic tac in water and drink it. To your body there is zero difference! I count tea :drinker:

Your body will tell you which is best for you - but make sure you have plenty of liquids! I can't work out hard if I've had practically ANYTHING to eat. I go with an empty stomach and then have breakfast afterwords.

NICE!!! Now THAT is a NSV!

My first thought was "Oh my - even at half off those are expensive slacks!" then I realized "HOLY COW when I fit into size 4 pants I CAN BUY THE GOOD ONES THAT WEAR FOREVER!" I'm so used to buying cheap clothes or thrift shops because "I'm not REALLY this size" and I always KNOW I'll lose weight "soon".:ohwell: When I get…

I'm getting a standing work station in my cubical and I'm super excited! I expect to burn more calories but I don't intend to count them as they aren't really cardio burn and I don't think they will have a significant impact on my daily burn. I want to stand to basically firm up more and to keep my body more active. I'm…

I think you have a good plan. I'm trying to remind myself that my 5 day a week workouts will probably have to be for life to keep my weight off - but the intensity may be able to drop some!
