  • For some, bread is bad. Some people cannot just stop at one piece. the carbohydrates and possibly other chemical added to store bought bread make us want more. I am personally better off without bread or sugar. Been doing better without it and It is worth it to me. But others are able to eat a reasonable amount which is…
    in Is bread bad? Comment by cbeevs May 2014
  • If what you are doing is not working try something different. Our food supply is loaded with addictive chemicals that we do not understand. Maybe this is part of the problem. You might try Low carb, or going with whole foods. I do not buy it that the reason so many Americans are overweight is that they do not exercise. As…
  • Where in my post did you see the word magic? Did you even bother to read what this man's original post said worked for him? Did you even watch the video that you criticize? You may have valid points, listening to others is a good skill. That being said are you anything like the poster? Are you sure your method will work…
  • Remember, it is all in the mind. Do not let disappointment lead to worse problems. Just plan for next time. We must eat. If we can be craftier that all the too tasty food, we win. Next time, eat more vegetables before you go, better yet , have your favorite raw food with you and eat some before the treat food. Don't go…
  • You are in a ticklish spot. You are their daughter and they are helping you in many ways financially right? however, you need to learn to manage them. Other wise they will not be the only ones to abuse your good nature. Not sure what will work the best. Really, they need to know that you will be leaving for the gym and _ X…
  • 30 huh? Need to get a heart rate monitor.. good idea though I will get back to you. does anyone know of a good heart rate monitor?
  • It is expected that you will hear lots of differing ideas. Everyone is different. I would say, start with what has worked for you in the past. Then compare that to what you do when you do not stay in shape. I sent the link to the guy who decided to fast twice a week. You can already do 6 days, but maybe 6 days will get old…
  • Maybe you are on the wrong diet and or exercise program for you. here is something from one of MY Fitness friends: Fast forward to early April,... and I “happened” to catch a presentation on PBS entitled “Eat, Fast and Live Longer” http://vimeo.com/54089463 by Dr. Michael Mosley. It made me stop, think and watch it…
  • You are so right that we get to the point where everything is about food. It is worth setting goals outside of our fitness, and to work on other things. What is going on with the other fun or interesting things? Hobbies? Skills? If we as a population devoted half our "food" time to other stuff, we would have a better…
  • how about, when you are really discouraged, you try a "Root Cause Analysis"? This means, you consider everything that may be contributing to the problem/disappointment. NUMBER 1. One Problem is that you did not loose at the same rate and you binged. Possible reasons for the weight to come off at a different rate: a. water…
  • Sure .. too bad there is not a way to show it like we do the daily stuff. I think it will be easy to exercise for 24 hours. Now, I count raking as exercise, It is definitely cardio since it is 40 degrees and I take my coat off. Guess I will not count the cooking.. that only gave me 7 calories and hour! sheesh! Vacuuming is…
  • Me too Definite addict. I was able to quit putting sugar in it, if I use half an half. Not sure how you like your coffee, but if you go low carb, the sugar is worse than the half n half. I have been able to cut don to 2 large cups in the morning. If I get tired, I take a green coffee bean, which was on Dr. Oz , now is in…
  • I wrote this before and it disappeared, so this may be a repeat: how about, when you are really discouraged, you try a "Root Cause Analysis"? This means, you consider everything that may be contributing to the problem/disappointment. NUMBER 1. One Problem is that the dress is tighter when, you should be decidedly smaller.…
  • Hi, I am not very good at using the topics area yet. add me if you would like. It is tough with pictures isn't it?
  • WoW!!!! kinda scary pictures.. the one on the right is the right way to be for sure. Is that an MRI? Look at the internal organs. I have heard all about this before , but seeing is even better.. Grrrreat job loving your self to health.
  • Not an instagrammer...no progress to show. Your pictures are great. Good job and you are very strong to hang upside down on a pole.
  • I too gave up on drinking half my weight in ounces per day. It was just too much. I love hiking and the only thing that satisfies thirst while hiking is water...so there I drink a lot. An interesting guest on Dr Oz suggested that instead of water, that goes right through us, we eat raw fruit and vegetables, which have…
  • Thanks for the tips. It is so true that we need to look forward to things every day, other than food. :)
  • You are in a tough spot. the good news is, if you want the dog to be with you there are other things available besides the gym. Do you live where you can hike? Dogs love it. If you have a therapist, are there support groups with other women who might hike with you and your dog? I agree, don't leave a dog where someone…
  • I suggest you stay motived with those who have succeeded, in some dire circumstances health wise. Joe Cross has a video "Fat Sick and Nearly Dead" which is now a pay for video on u-tube.. but There is a good video about what he did. while no-one can go against the holy grail of modern medicine (sacrilege) Joe talks about…
  • halfway is way cool too. You must feel so much better and sleep better and think better?
  • Glad you are inspired and fired up!!! Hold that thought girl and you will be stylin :)
  • Low carb has been a better eating plan for me and it seems more healthy to eat protein than carbs. You might want to Google :the bely fat diet" . Jorge wrote the book and will send daily emails and recipes for free. It is a low carb plan.
  • Starting today, I am going to check my waist and hip measurement, and eat fruits and vegetables (see u-tube video, "fat sick and Nearly Dead") and morning coffee. I regularly garden so I will shovel for at least 15 minutes and walk hills for at least 15 minutes. I will use a timer to stay on track. Good to have your…
