when i workout at home, i usually warm up on the exercise bike, then do 30-day shred or 10-minute solutions pilates. some days i just go for a run around the block @ 3 mile loop i mapped out using google pedometer. having a walking partner in ur neighborhood is good too. when i started working out 1 yr ago, & watching what…

not a trainer - but having worked w/trainers in classes @ gyms ... applying to gyms is probably the best place to start to get some sort of client base going for referrals. you definitely get to make your own schedule - at a gym, they may have specific times u need to be there, but again - you can make that set schedule…

fruits - any of them any time of day veggies - any of them any time of day beans/legumes - any of them, great for lunch/dinner chicken/turkey - @ 2-3x's a week pasta /whole grain / rice 3-4x's a week dairy - seemed okay w/what u have per day processed foods/sugars - try to stay away from as many as possible w/in ur diet.…

the y is great if you have a family to use it with. it can be crowded in the a.m. for certain classes b/f work or after work hours. i live in PA & most the y's here by me are "grouped" together w/in the membership. double check that with the ones by you. most people who use the pool swim laps for their exercise - so having…

get an appt w/ur gyn or primary to rule some common things out. when was ur last gyn exam w/pap? just keep track in the meantime of when u do get ur periods & the days spacing. this info will be very helpful to the dr. (either one). when u do make the appt, ask to talk w/a dr & see if they want blood work & try & get that…

2 c-sections....once the initial pain is gone, there's so much soreness no meds work. plus, u still can't lift anything-not even a gallon or milk or oj for 3+ months w/o pain know from experience & have a high threshold for pain - i've had the following as well - and some meds just didn't even dull the pain at all: 1 knee…

spring mix lettuce, gorganzola cheese, apple and/or pear -sliced thin, raspberry-walnut vinegrette dressing & then add some nut/seed that u like (see season's 52 salad menu - this is where i got this from on a recent visit, i just modified it w/the dressing) baked sweet potato in the skin - cut open & sprinkle on some…

don't know about the Pritikin or low-fat Ornish u mentioned. for the Brody person - never heard of her either. however, from the basic info u gave sounds like she was eating a lot of processed foods & not enough fresh or frozen fruits/veggie. all i know - with a balance of fruit/veggies/beans-legumes; moderate amount of…

my husband is allergic to certain fish, all dairy and doesn't eat pasta..... WHERE IN MY POST DO I SAY I'M INCREASING CARBS???? i'm not increasing carbs w/breads or sweet. we don't eat a lot of processed foods which have the bad carbs. all foods have carbs. i'm increasing fruits/veggies/beans-legumes and decreasing his…

hi glad u will be going back to your dr. to find out about your cholesterol ratios of where they are, where they need to be & how to get to where they need to be WITHOUT MEDS. i disagree w/a previous posters comments about having more chicken, fish, turkey etc....these foods actually raise the bad cholesterol & other stuff…

if you feel the need to exercise, ride the exercise bike or go for a walk. don't push yourself. your body needs rest to heal. your body also needs lots of fruits/veggies to fight the illness. the best are: blueberries, apples, bananas, sweet potato, broccoli, spinach & romaine lettuces, colored bell peppers, etc. also, if…

read the book "Eat to Live" by Dr. Joel Fuhrman... eat less processed foods & more fruits/veggies/ beans-legumes/nuts. bread is fine in moderation but make sure it is whole wheat (unless u r allergic to wheat) and that it doesn't contain high frutcose corn syrup. also - keep your cheese/yogurt to a few times a wk vs.…
-
clearance sales and buy 2 or 3 pairs of nice pants, 2 pairs of jeans. then buy enough blouses/sweaters that you can mix-match well. this way, you're only spending a @$200 on clothing. definitely like the consignment idea - never done it. also, w/buying new from a store - it feels like a real treat for the work you've done…
-
too soon to do 30-day shred. you need at least another 6-8 months b/f doing this program. u still need to build up your quad muscles. do u have access to a pool (indoor)....take a water exercise class or just do some swimming/water walking. i hurt my knee yrs ago playing sports - still gives me issues to this day. 30-day…

welcome....add me if you like

depends upon what food you are eating. are you eating a lot of processed foods or more fruits, veggies/salads, bean, whole grains???? i've been re-reading the book, Eat to Live by Dr. Joel Furham - he states (paraphrasing) that when you eat more high nutrient foods (salads, veggies, beans) you eat less in calories have…

u look great.....great work. wow!!!!! keep going. i'm sure u feel different to and will continue to feel better as keep going. "high 5"!!!!!!

swimming/water walking is great for knee injuries....just don't go fast & only do 1 or 2 laps of walking at a time. 10 minute solutions pilates video that can modify the exercises so u can still workout. it is all low impact. in a few weeks - start out by doing some leg raises sitting on the couch and then move into doing…

totally daily energy expenditure also - bmr (basil metabolic rate) = the amount of energy ur spend dialy those 2 things can get confusing
-
probably not enough calories. do u feel hungry @ 1hr or 2hr after eating a decent meal? if so, u need to increase ur calories. also, like the other person said, if you are logging exercise, then u need to eat more since mfp calculates a deficit for you w/the exercise
-
sometimes i do the following: spinach lettuce w/raspberries, strawberries, blackberries w/ wishbone raspberry walnut vinegrette dressing....can also add a crumbled cheese standard salad: spring mix or green leaf or romaine lettuces w/peppers (red, yellow, orange) cucumbers - any dressing u like. can also add olive,…
-
it is all about the choices you make and ur friends seeing u make different choices. if they don't like - just say hey - "i feel better when i workout & eat certain foods"....besides, u also want these choices to carry thru the rest of ur life. also, go to the parties once i awhile and have a few drinks - don't get drunk.…

wow - congrats on ur victory....u look great. hope ur spinal injury is all healed & stronger now. what proof that this works. thanks for sharing

sounds like u should check out a chiropractor - sounds more like ur bones are out of aligned & surgery will make it worse. check out www.icpa4kids.com - just go to the "find doctors" section. i know it is "for kids" but these chiropractors have done some extra study work & practice. i use a chiropractor and love them for…
-
get a support group and look at other people's diary. i would also recommend looking at the Dr. Oz website for nutrition. think the "outside food isle in grocery store" - dairy (milk, cheese, eggs, egg whites etc), whole grains (pastas, breads, some cereals, definitely oatmeal) all fruits/veggies - the more colors the…
