I've been able to wear my college class ring, which the last time it fit was 3+ years ago!

you tube has several of her videos (full length). I like the "boosted walking" 4 mile one with jogging intervals, and then there is a 3 mile "weight loss" one that uses light weights in the 1st and third miles and is very fast paced in the middle mile. I like to do the three mile one with some compound weight movements…

this thread is hilarious! love it.

there is a whole group of people (google Weston Price) who think that all whole grains contain phytic acid, and that in order for us to be able to absorb the nutrients from them, we must soak them or use "sprouted" grains. So if you prefer brown rice, and want more nutritional benefit from them, you could soak your rice…

this is a good book - I have read it.

I have cut sweets and snacks except for saturdays and sundays. I tell myself I can have them but I will have to wait until a "special day" - and interestingly, the sweets don't even taste that good anymore. They are too sweet, and it is because I have changed my taste buds. I don't think totally taking things from your…

So that is 2.2 lbs gone. woo hoo! and it wasn't even that hard to do! Gonna try another 10 days starting tomorrow. So start weight Dec 2013 - 223 Current weight…

I totally agree not to demonize any particular food - and what you said about cortisol is very true! I read about a study that they did where they saw this happen! crazy! going low carb has been easy so far - and it's not forever, just a 10 day "challenge" and still includes fruit, sugar in my am coffee :) and of course…

I have been following this way of eating and it is great, BUT I was pretty much overeating EVERY.SINGLE.DAY. before I started 5:2 so I have to count calories on my "normal" days too - at least for a while until I have an idea what "normal" looks like. I have been very happy with this way of eating, my cravings have gone…

I just got one of those "body fat analyzers" and mine was 33% - I am currently 205. Like you, I have always weighed more than I look (although of course now I am obese). My goal body fat percentage (after I looked also at the builtlean website a few days ago) is around 24%. I am making sure to keep my protein high and…

if it is the 4 fast miles one it is a GREAT workout - love those intervals! I have found intervals to be a great way to improve fitness and also lose weight.

I agree with everyone here - you must make time to do it. I have 6, 4 and 3 year olds at home with me. I don't work outside the home but still seem to keep pretty busy with laundry, cleaning, errands, etc. Right now I have put on a video for the kids and getting ready to do a "walking at home" video. A lot of times the…

definitely try it. I loved it - we don't have where I live but wish we did. the difference I have noticed (in the places I have gone to) between zumba and jazzercise is the instructor usually faces you in Jazzercise whereas in zumba they don't. the vocal cues in zumba are minimal from what I can tell but in jazzercise they…

I am 5'4" as well and the lowest I got (in my twenties) was 145. I was a size 4. That was pretty skinny for me (I feel like I am more muscular). of course, now I have a lot more weight on me and three babies later, so I would be content with 170-174. It could be that your body is happy at the weight you are?

I know I get especially "binge-ey" towards my time of the month. Knowing this is going to be coming, helps me. Sometimes I give in to it - and other times I do better. But it is usually one day of crazy feelings/bingeing/etc that mostly amounts to crazy hormones making crazy with me. Knowing when it is coming can help me…

I am 5'4" and also I am very heavy in my legs/hips. I have more fat to lose than you and I am also older - so I feel like hormonal things come into play for me at least. you should check out a book called "Escape your shape" where the author is a trainer in NYC and he lays out four different body types and he gives…
