Cheap ice cream contains more air called "over-run" which makes it less dense and not as good. This means you get less if you measure by volume than by the scale. Good-scratch that-GREAT ice cream has less "over-run", is more dense, and thus contains more mass in the volume measurement. This is why you should always go by…

YOU need to make sure that there's an alternative to what they leave out! Have a fruit bowl by the door, have some single servings of nuts nearby, have some hummus and healthy chips (kale?) ready to go. YOU establish the pattern! YOU decide what you want.

+1 on what the other posters say. Visit the classes - observe - even the children's classes and see what is taught! My style is Kwon Shu, which is a form of kenpo. Kids: Our studio concentrates on developing listening, focusing, and discipline skills for the children in a fun, respectful manner. For these kids (about 5-6)…

[I am NOT a doctor, but i did stay at a Holiday Inn, once :wink: ] I would schedule an appointment to your doc. Having had a knee "lock" on me a few months ago and the same feeling that stuff is catching there, it might be a torn meniscus. I have one in each knee. Here is a little light reading:…

I like it steamed and then sauteed in 3Tbl olive oil and 2 garlic cloves minced.

I believe we're working on LIFESTYLE changes and so I try to use my head on what I eat. If on a hot day I wanted an ice bar to help cool down, I'll have one (only 40 cal). If the family's schedule is busy that we head out to eat, I try to eat healthy unless it doesn't sound good ATM. The big key is the frequency. A little…

Probably the truest statement yet about the diversity and difficulty of fitness attainment or weightloss.

Just copy and paste

I used to. Now I just bypass them, unless I'm at Atlanta int'l. During a layover in Detroit, I did a couple of laps around the inside of the airport (all concourses) and found that I was walking faster than those who stopped on the movers and ended about 15 feet (5 meters) behind someone who walked while on the movers…

It would take a while (several minutes) to "build" your meal from individual items. You won't have a scale, but you could estimate sizes/servings from your experience. Also, if there are any sauces or dressings, you can estimate those from a volume and base, like cream or butter (most sauces are 1/4 c or 2 oz). The safest…

Hate to say, but that's my current ultimate goal weight. [Wt at time of pix 285]

120

I prefer morning (5ish) when i do simple calisthenics, but my main is through a martial arts studio in the evening.

Hydration is the first key. The second is to get a doctor's opinion as there is actually a medical condition about this and it may allow your body to overheat. Check with him/her and get their opinion!

McGilla Gorrila, Huckleberry Hound, Tom and Jerry, Scooby Doo, Justice League, Fractured Fairy Tales, Rocky & Bullwinkle, Fat Albert were the weekday and Saturday staples, but the ones that have made a lasting impression due to their ability to weave humor and intellect are Looney Tunes and their offspring Animaniacs (with…

^^ What was said. There's a limit to how much water will hold anyway, and the toughest thing for it to hold onto is a form of gas! If you want to, try this - fill a glass half way with ANY form of drink with bubbles and then add a teaspoon or so of sugar or salt. These have a higher affinity for being dissolved in water…

First - The Beach Boys ~1979 Last - Joe Cocker and Huey Lewis and the News (tonight) Most favorite: Eagles - Hell Freezes Over, OingoBoingo - Farewell Tour

Cheerios or granola or eggs or bananas ......

Now that's funny.... [a little editing :laugh: ]

Move along, this isn't the grail-shaped bacon you're looking for.

Portion control and eating regularly through the day instead of consuming 5000 calories (or more) in one sitting! also making healthier choices when I'm on business trips.

+1 on that. Exercises the doc gave me after the achilles repair. Balance yourself in a doorway initially and do it on each foot. Also place the aerobic step pad there (or do this on the stairs) and stand on the ball of your foot so you get more movement. After a period, do it with weights.
