Dragon Door now has some for women - that only means that the handles aren't as thick. My trainer is so jealous - she loves my 16kg bell!!

Have you searched on youtube.com? They are free and there are some good ones.

Good for you!

You need to find something else to replace this habit. Maybe take a warm bath, or find a good book, brush your teeth and read in bed. This is a hard time for me also - good luck.

Congrats on your amazing weightloss - keep up the great work!

Hope you enjoyed your walk! It is beautiful in the DC area today ;)

I'm next! Hi, I'm a 48 yo, married for 30 years (in May), and the mother of two daughters, grandmother of a sweet 8 month old boy and expecting another grandbaby in October. I had my kids quite young, when I was 18 and 22, and my metabolism was a furnace. It had to be: I gained 80 pounds with my first - lost it all by 4…

We bought the series also. We also bought the 7 Deadly Sins/ 7 Lively Virtues DVD and workbook. Fr. Barron is so wonderful. He has been called the modern Bishop Fulton Sheen.

The calorie count for dry seeds are in the foods listings.

I"m planning on seeing it tomorrow! Thanks for the tip on staying through the credits.

Love Chia! I add one tablespoon to my cottage cheese. If you mix them with water and let it sits the seeds form a gel that you can use in recipes. They really don't have a taste, more texture. I don't find they give me more energy, but they do help me from getting hungry too soon! They are so high in antioxidents they…

I have been using KBs for a couple of years - for the past year working weekly with an RKC trainer. LOVE them!! Tracy Reifkind is awesome - she has several videos on youtube and several for sale on Amazaon or through dragondoor.com. I hope this board becomes more active! Glad to meet fellow KBers!

It is both, but I log it as cardio based on what my heart rate monitor says.

Hi, everyone! I'm 48 years old, with two married daughters and 1 1/3 grand-kids! (newest due in Oct 2012) My passion is Kettlebells. I hired an RKC certified trainer last June and love my workouts. I've gained 20 pounds since Thanksgiving because you can't out-train the amount of junk I've been eating! I actually eat and…

I try to eat within 30 minutes of getting up to keep my blood sugar steady. I have cottage cheese with chia seeds, nuts and reduced sugar fruit spread. Usually keeps me until lunch.

I log all my exercise!

That's the amount MFP calculated for me too. Very generous if you ask me! I work out 4-5 times a week. Once a week I do an hour of Pilates reformer and the rest 30 minutes of Kettlebells. What about you?

WOW! Congrats to you on making it through such a horrific accident. Walking is a good exercise, low impact and good for your mental health too! Are you working with a physical therapist? He/she should have some good suggestions. Re: eating, eat "clean" keep processed foods out of your diet and you'll do pretty well.…

I realized 7 years ago that I have a real problem with sugar - think drug or alcohol addict - only with sugar. Once I start I literally cannot stop until the food is gone. A site I found really helpful is radiantrecovery.com. Good luck!

I concur. I highly recommend Tracy Reifkind - she lost 120 lbs doing just the swing. She just released her first book which is excellent for beginners, imho, called The Swing.

I've been using KBs for several years and with a certified trainer for a year - Jillian Michaels is DANGEROUS!! with KBs - please check out dragondoor.com or google Tracy Reifkind. Please learn the safe way to use them so you don't hurt yourself.

Yes that has happened to me in the past - I think it happens a lot. I have relied on my heart rate monitor for years! Good luck with your fitness plan!

I'm 48 years old, 5'10.5" and currently 183. I got down to 150 about 7 years ago, but looked gaunt. My plan is to get to 160 and see how I feel. I work out 3-4 times a week with kettlebells and do pilates reformer classes one day each week.

I have a regular pressure cooker that I have used for over 20 years - I LOVE it!
