If you want to preserve lean muscle, try doing your strength training first thing in your workout, then add some cardio intervals for a finisher. to burn off that last bit of glycogen. Refuel with a nice starchy-carb and protein meal after your weights. Keep your lifting and finishers to their own days so that you have…

I think all yogurt/cheese/cottage cheese, etc is gross......I'd rather die than eat it.

Soy....unless it's fermented is actually an anti-nutrient. I'd suggest looking up the Weight Watchers plan for nursing mothers. It would be the safest way to go so that you don't lose your milk, and/or pass along bad stuff in your milk to your precious baby.

hands down, no question......vitamix. I use mine 2-3 times per day. Absolutely love it.

Try body-weight exercises. No equipment needed and you can even do it in your hotel room. They seriously get your heart rate up. There are lots of programs out there on the net.....or you can do the stuff we did in school (way back when for me :-) ) like pushups, high-knee jogging in place, burpees, squats, step-ups,…

Agave nectar is actually worse for you than high-fructose corn syrup.....it has even higher levels of fructose due to the way that it is processed. Please be careful with this substance.

Jay Robb Egg White protein mixed with So Organic Coconut Milk when I just need to get enough protein into my plan for the day. I use the Jay Robb Whey protein only after a workout and I blend that with the coconut milk and a dark-colored berry.....cherry, blueberry, etc.

I've been enjoying making my shakes with unsweetened coconut milk, vanilla protein powder, Hershey's cocoa powder, a little Stevia sweetener, and a tablespoon of cold-pressed coconut oil. When I have to cut back on the fat in order to make my numbers for the day, I use the unsweetened coconut milk, vanilla protein powder,…

Sugar!!!! I now make up my carb intake with lots of leafy greens. Good luck to each of you on your journeys to improved health and fitness. :-)

I purchased lengths of chain from the hardware store to weigh 1.25 lbs each. That way, I can increase my weight each workout by a total of 2.5 lbs instead of 5 lbs, which was getting a bit too much as I moved further along in the program. You can find web pages that talk about micro-loading to find which kind of chain to…

Stay at the higher calories and make your deficit through moving more. This will bump up your metabolism more than continually cutting your calories. Besides.....being able to eat more is much more satisfying. Hope things go your way really soon!

And how do you know these alleged toxins are coming out? Is there a way to measure them? What does the EPA have to say about proper disposal of said toxins? The body already has a marvelous toxin disposal system.....it's called your liver and kidneys. The only thing that will get lighter from this kind of Hoo-Ha is the…

THIS!!!! THIS!!!!! THIS!!!!!

Hang out.

EXCELLENT ADVICE! If a person is giving up.....it's their own choice. Don't point the finger at someone/something else.....that's just cowardly and weak. If you are making a decision to give up....then own that decision fully. You have the choice.....it's difficult.....it's not always fun or comfortable.....it's ALL yours.

1. Tennis match from 9:15-12:00 2. Weight training from 2:30-3:00 3. Dragon Boat training of two boats 5:00-7:00 4. Tennis coaching session 7:30-8:30

We had just moved to a new state and I had to go get a new driver's license. I was so embarrassed to write down my height 5'3" and weight 170lbs on a document that would be in my wallet for years.......that I did the only logical thing.....I went home and proceeded to eat myself into another 15 pounds over the course of…

And yet.....I don't see anything in that link about HRMs and their accuracy/inaccuracy in measuring calories burns during strength training. There is an aerobic component to weight lifting, that is certainly measurable with a HRM. This value may not be as high as one would achieve with running for 60 minutes, but it is…

Says who? Do you have a peer-reviewed reference for that statement? :-)

Nothing tastes as good as being lean feels.

^^^^ This! Such a rare quality these days......

GOOD FOR YOU!!! Get yourself over the that track pronto, Sweetie. I'm 5'3" and started my fat-loss journey at 185 lbs. I would strongly recommend that you start out with walking until you get your weight down a bit more. If you start running too soon, you may end up injuring your knees. I didn't start running until I got…

Big. Giant. NAY. Cook for yourself.....lean protein and fresh veggies. You can do this. Make up your own portioned meals and freeze them. Way healthier and cheaper to do it yourself. Best wishes!!

Don't waste your money.

HA!!!! That's where I grew up!

5K run and 2 1/2 hours of competitive tennis

And your point is?
