this is something my personal trainer said dietary compliance is key to fat loss. Next in importance is exercise. Weight training is the most powerful way to change your body’s composition and increase your metabolic rate. For those of you that would like to add cardio, the two options are: steady-state cardio and high…

Wow it seems like our little group fell off the face so thought I would try and see if anyone else is still around and how they are doing

My personal trainer says when your sick REST, Your body needs the energy to make you get well, while your sick. Eat well and REST is what he tells me.

Stretch Stretch Stretch before really well warm up your body. Run not at your top speed but faster than a jog work up to running long distances. 1 minute runs, you have to teach your body and muscles. Work into running longer. AFTER when your sitting and watching tv stretch your legs out in front of you and point your toes…

This is From Yahoo As a runner, I’ve always been an avid water drinker. And because I’m a dietitian and nutrition editor, I typically choose to hydrate with water (it’s calorie-free!) over other beverages like sweetened tea, soda or sports drinks, which can pack a hefty calorie and sugar punch. (That said, there is a time…

Yep they ask do you want a coke? and then ask you what kind? All pop/soda is coke no matter if its a pepsi

Hi Veronica Im gonna sound harsh in some of what I am going to say but believe me it comes from a place of caring and support. Stop making excuses, stop saying you want to and DO IT, Stop lying to yourself, Just stop the negative thoughts. ONLY YOU can do this. YOU Make the choices for your life no matter what your…

FOOD IS NOT AN ENEMY!!! You can have what you want to have. Make sure to test before and after to see what your numbers do if its within a 3 range its ok.

To one of My dearest friends, You have been doing so good, having a rest day or eating over your calories a little bit IS NOT A BAD DAY!! Change the way you think, be PROUD of all you have done, know that your going to get where you want to be. Eating is Eating even if its not the best choice. Just dont do that everyday!…

I dont think you mom is trying to hurt your or do anything against you eating better. When someone says that to another person they may not think about it the same way you do. Unless you have explained how your making the choices you are they only go by what they think better choices are. Some people dont think eating…

kick one leg out in front at a time less impact that way but still cardio with arm movements helps to start out then try to build in a couple of jacks then a couple of kicks out front till your body gets used to it

Do wall push ups or on your knees if you can

1 GALLON = 4 quarts 8 pints 16 cups 128 oz 3.8 liters 1 quart = 2 pints 4 cups 32 oz .95 liters 1 pint = 2 cups 16 oz 480 mililiters 1 cup is 8 oz 240 mililiters 1/4 cup = 4 tablespoons 12 teaspoons 2 oz 60 mililiters 1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons 1/2 oz 15 mililiters Hope that helps a bit

So how are you doing with the quitting

Umm get yourself a Heart Rate monitor. I found my treadmill is about 70 calories higher than my HRM and MFP is about 200+ cals over. I like having the monitor so I can use it anywhere and my advice is get one with a chest strap and Polar is one that works with MANY machines out there. I have an ft7

Hope this works but I find having the picture in grey helps and side by side too This way you can see the difference :)

Mix one package with more than 8 oz I myself mix 1 package with 32 oz or 1 liter of water it helps totally
