Good for you! If more parents did that, we probably would not have an epidemic of obese children. My 7 year old works out with me, even bought her some 2lb hand weights she can use. I do a few milder sets with her then after about 30 or 40 minutes she is finished and I then go into my hardcore workout, whether it is…

I get B12 injections every 2 weeks, but I have a severe malabsorbtion problem due to intestinal issues. It does give me much needed energy that I would not get otherwise. There is a such thing as too much B12 though and it can be harmful, so I would consult a doctor first.

I have a Fitbit that I use 24/7, however, I also use a Polar FT4 HRM for heavy work outs so I can get a more accurate reading of calories burned. I like it!

Jockeys are typically around 4 ft 10 in to 5 ft 6 in. Have you ever thought that this may not be a good profession for you? Maybe work with horses as a trainer? With you height, you weight would be to low and you would look very ill. You might even FEEL very ill!

I am insulin resistant and can not eat a lot of carbs per day, I use diabetic exchanges most of the time. Also, check the Atkins website, they have a food list on phase 1 that gives all vegetables that are low in carbs. Phase 2 and 3 slowly add carbs back into the diet until you find the amount your body can handle without…

Are you flat footed?

I just downloaded this app, looks interesting! Will start it today.

I do agree. 1200 calories is more than enough for me when I am making wise food choices. In fact, I am more satisfied on a 1200 calorie intake when eating fruits, vegetables, and lean meats.

Ah yes, the famous Minnesota starvation study. What I pulled from a scientific study is the following: Like most of us on a diet, their metabolisms did slow down. In fact, after they'd been on this diet for a while -- we're talking months, not days here -- their body fat percentage got to a point below what is considered…

the pool is an excellent idea! I just started walking. I started on my first day just walking to the end of my driveway, then to the end of my street for a few days, then I built up to a block. I am not working on my first couch to 5K. It was slow going, didn't take many steps for the first few weeks, but eventually I…

Replace fat with muscle. Weight lifting has minimized my loose skin significantly. You look young, I am 46, so your skin has more elasticity and should not be very bad at hanging around. Find you a good program for weight lifting (toning) and add it as part of your routine. Genetics and the amount of weight you have to…

I am taking Phentermine as well. I take one in the morning and I stick to a 1200 cal plan. I started off walking and have signed up for couch to 5K (my first 5K will be June 21) and I also lift weights. I MAKE time every day because this is what I will be doing for the rest of my life. So much so that I invested in a home…
