Calorie counting doesn't cause loose stools, but...changing what you eat may have. If you have made significant changes in the types of foods you are eating, you could see significant changes in the output. Doesn't mean it will stay that way, sometimes the GI tract needs time to adapt, or you need to make changes more…

Hi, new here also. I was tested about 10 days ago after going months with no weight loss. Finally, my hair started to fall out and that was the final straw, lol! My mother's side of the family has a loooong history of thyroid issues, so she said she had been waiting for me to have problems. Most signs and symptoms were…

Good for you! I finished 11 months of cancer treatment last summer...tried doing the C25K then, but just had too much pain...sometimes the mind is willing but the body needs more time, eh? This summer I started it again (after incisional hernia repair...tumors, the gift that keeps giving, right?) and it has felt much…

Yes. It can be modified both easier and harder...there are moves in there I doubt I will ever get to...I have done Insanity 3X. The workouts are less time consuming than P90X or Insanity, which is a consideration you mentioned. There is a lot of variety, and while a couple of workouts were not my favorites, there are many…

P90x3

I do kettlebells, cycling, and yoga on a regular rotation with C25K

I do C25K 3x per week, two days of kettlebells, 2 days of yoga (KB and yoga on same days)...I also try to bike 2 -3 days per week and am riding my horses throughout, and often add another yoga-type workout. The cross training days-strength, non running cardio-need to be exercises that don't use all the same muscles as…

I think there is a hybrid posted on Teambeachbody.com under where you can find the worksheets. I know there is a T25/PiYo hybrid posted there because I printed it as well as a P90X3/PiYo hybrid. So I would recommend taking a look there.

Also completely agree. DDP is, in his own bizarre way, one of the coolest instructors EVAH! I own a LOT of pilates, barre, yoga workouts and love DDP because he makes me LOL. He is very encouraging and there is a modifier in everything, and you can modify the modifier if you need to. When you order, also sign up for the…

I second finding a good app you like...I have been doing a Couch to 5K plan for the past seven weeks and am up to running 28 minutes now...about 2.5 miles currently. There are a number of them out there, do a search...I thought I saw one by NHS that I couldn't get in the US that people liked a lot. I am planning on a…

My favorite group is Eating to Live...it's a group for those following the basic principles of Dr. Fuhrman...there are some who are very hard core and others who just like the idea of a plant based diet. So it is very friendly and welcoming...no bashing of people who don't eat 100% plant based. Everyone is basically…

I generally use Pandora, "80's cardio"...generally does the trick though once in a while they throw in a dud. I did Week 7, Day 1 yesterday. 25 minutes! Holy crap! It felt awesome, I was tired but in a great way, if that makes sense. It's more mental for me now, like I wonder, "what am I going to do in my head for that…

Please look on youtube and Sparkpeople for videos of seated exercise...there are a LOT of options out there for people with limited mobility, for whatever reasons. I just did several months of seated exercise due to surgery restrictions, and it was all doable and helpful. As for the surgery...as a person who has been a…

Was pretty sure I could do it physically, as the other days had been going well. Wasn't too sure what I was going to do in my head for that long. It actually went by pretty quickly and today I completed Week 6, day 3- 22 minutes of running. No intervals after this, just goes to 25 minutes all of next week. Whoo hoo!

How is this week going Alison? Thinking of you...:flowerforyou: :drinker:

You can buy the additional DVD separately. The rest of the items..it depends if you need/want them. I bought just the basic set of DVDs...we got a chin up bar locally and put it up in our basement. We had dumbbells and I don't think I would order them and pay shipping. You can also get just as good resistance bands…

Mine is to arrive tomorrow, so I suppose I will start tomorrow! I need to work it into C25K, I am on week 5 of that. With those short times I have heard about that shouldn't be a problem. I did P90X3 Jan-March, Combat in April then needed surgery and have only had the go ahead to lift small weights standing up for the last…

I also found these sites helpful...lots of info on dealing with ostomies, realities of foods, realities of feelings, etc. I had a temporary loop ileostomy. My tumor was also low, in the rectum. I forget how many centimeters it was, but he had 1/2 of a centimeter "extra" as he put it, to work with, so he was happy in that…

It is circulating again. The article can be found on snopes.com, it was on my FB the other day too, shared by a relative well known for sharing things that can be found on snopes. I read it but must admit I don't remember all the details, but will say this... As a cancer survivor...I eat tons of fresh fruits and…

^ This. And also, just for fun/add another twist, are you using the same scale you weighed in on before? Is said scale calibrated and level? There can be variations between scales...

Moving Comfort. Bomb diggity. And they don't wear out or fall apart in under 30 seconds either. So even though you pay more for them, ya just don't have to buy them all that often.

LOL at shrinkage! Love! ^^

I have had to just let it go. I used to work all scheduled 12's that are really 13 or more, and have recently had a change of schedule such that I only do the 12's on my weekends. I used to pound the heck out of myself for the four days I was off, trying to make up for the three days I didn't work out and wasn't keeping up…

For pushups, start with wall pushups then gradually work your way down to the floor...next do them with your hands on a counter, then a chair seat, etc. Doing them on your knees to start is fine..but...it doesn't really train your core to do them on your knees. Also, when working the push ups (And lunges), make the range…

Huh. I just switched fro zyrtec to allegra because I had a good coupon, and I have been losing. Most interesting. I take something 365 days a year so...Anyway an interesting thought. Will have to track.

Right??? I think the OP made it perfectly clear she does not use Shakeology. And even if she did, who gives a crap? If that is what someone likes, if that is where they choose to blow their bankroll, how is it any body else's problem? Least of all to make a snarly remark about? If somebody likes it and believes it make a…

^What he said. It totally depends what you find fun, what your goals are. The best one is the one you will do. Get on youtube and look up clips of each of them, or look for say, "Body Beast Results" and you'll have some idea of what the workouts look like aside from the infommercials. I have done all of those mentioned and…

After another evening of reading/mulling over, I came to ask the questions that chelleymae110 has just so nicely typed in. LOL!

Looks very tasty, easy, and filling! I steam a big bunch of brown rice in my steamer then make pre-portioned 1/2 cup bags to keep in the freezer...this looks like it will be the next recipe I use those on! Thanks for posting! I also make myself bags of lentils and black beans. So nice to have on hand!

In to follow and food for thought... Working in healthcare can make it hard to take care of ourselves...I also had a little laugh about your comment, about pulling out a picture when people say you don't know what it is like to be fat...I am a trauma/surgical ICU RN and people like to say, "You don't know what it is like…
