  • Vitamix...if smoothies are what you want. We also have a Ninja, but we use it as a food processor, chopping, purée, that sort of thing. No one ever regrets buying a Vitamix
  • I weigh myself every day and write it on a calendar along side my husband's weight (that was hard the first time and on going...telling him how much I weighed)... I don't eat or drink a thing until I weigh in and then it's birthday suit only. I think logging my calories, etc every day is also pretty crazy...hence falling…
  • I'm going to ride along with everyone else here...there is no magic cut off time, eating does not get significantly worse for you after some golden hour. I have always preferred a bigger dinner...it's what you are eating all day, every day that matters. Don't worry about turning into a gremlin, that only happens if you get…
  • Pasta...gnocchi has a special place, but especially home made pasta. Add a little pesto or garlic and olive oil...I've already eaten dinner, and this sounds like the heaven.
  • Lunch with clients... small buffalo chicken sandwich (like 4") and salad (mostly lettuce plus egg, tomato, avocado, blue cheese, and a tad of dressing) I need more home cooked meals...these never satisfy (you are so right Prince)
  • Obviously, it's trial and error...it's work out specific, and it's what you find as you go along.... Light workouts (example: running 6 miles or less, working out for an hour or less)- nothing but water Medium (10 miles, 1-1.5 hours)- half a Cliff Bar or a banana Hard (more than 10 miles, 2+ hours)- oatmeal with almond…
  • Thanks....whenever I am not seeing the results I would expect, I try to think of what advice I would give someone else. Needless to say, I wish my advice was as good as yours. Cheers
  • I get this less while running and more often when working out inside to a DVD, and like the others it's annoying but I don't want to take anything.
  • Amazing and very inspirational- thanks for sharing
  • Before it gets ugly, I'll chime in with my 2 cents. :-) I have tried it a few times and found it to be a great workout- a lot of variety, functional movements, and you can scale it. I don't live near a center, and so I don't go regularly. I think I would enjoy my experience more if I was going weekly, but I always found…
  • Awesome...the lazy logger in me is thrilled!! Muchas Gracias!
  • Weigh them once, and you'll have a great idea of how many are in a serving for all your future croutoning :-)
  • Great article- keep up the interesting contributions
  • Great post to read- thanks. I can totally relate to the sentiment as a 'big eater.' Many of my 'naturally thin' non-exercising friends, eat whatever they want but never eat much. PS. Now I need to find cardio article others referred to
  • Thanks for all the pushes on the recipe builder...guess I really need to just tough out a month or so, could be pretty eye opening. Cheers
  • Thanks @Chickee... You are not wrong, but I end up eating lunch out most days because of my work. There are places I'm willing to compromise and places I'm not.....i.e. I eat where my meetings take me, but I make my choices and live with the results. Today at Olive Garden, I had soup and salad...added the dressing myself…
  • This is one I've pondered on a great deal...I do think that alcohol has contributed to my weight, but I'm also trying to find a way to balance it with a new healthier lifestyle. I generally struggle with accurate measuring, and alcohol falls into that category...when pouring a drink at home, I don't break out the beakers…

  • I tried P90X in the past, and recently bought the pull-up assist band. Without it I can only do 2 pull-ups so I feel like this goes along way toward real pull-ups...it's easy to use and easy to adjust. I started P90x3 last week and am glad to have the band...improvement over a chair or just modified with resistance bands.…
