Make sure it's organic raw and unfiltered apple cider vinegar. I make my salad dressing with it. Also after a really intense workout or a super long hike on a hot day when I've been sweating a lot - I like to mix a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar a cup of sparkling mineral water and a pinch of sea salt. I feel like it…

Unbelievable how you were able to completely turn things around. I am so happy for you. Definitely do it again whenever you need to.

Try doing different kids of squats for variety. Sumo squats, plie squats, jumping squats, split leg jumping squats, one legged, side to side, hold the squat in the lowest position. There are so many differnt ways to do them. It makes it fun and it hits your leg muscles from every possible angle. You don't need weights but…

Glad you are OK.

How about some high intensity house cleaning. Set a timer for 15 minutes and go crazy. Cleaning my house always makes me feel better when I am depressed (although depression can be very serious and you need to get that under control). Coincidentally intense exercise might help your depression symptoms. Pretend you are…

Go do some squats and push ups first and then we can think of something else.

I didn't read all the replies so I don't know if anyone already suggested this. Dry skin brushing, increase your intake of vit C, add MSM and gelatin supplements to your diet. Also really massage your skin while you apply your moisturizer (knead, roll it between your fingers, slap it all kinds of stuff). Your body doesn't…

Love it!!!! Just had some for dinner. I cook a big pot and use throughout the week in different recipes. Here's my favorite way to prepare - I put the quinoa in a pan on the stove to dry toast it. I just keep mixing it around until the first seeds start to pop and it gets slightly darker and toasted. Then I rinse it very…

Try the push up bars or just place a couple of dumbbells on the floor and grip them instead of placing your palms on the floor. Also see what you can do to strenghten your wrists. I guess some type of squeezing exercise would work for your wrists.

It's just like a regular plank but you are facing the ceiling and your back is facing the floor. You can be on your hands or on your…

Yes, just keep doing the push ups. Even when you do the push ups you are engaging your entire body not just pushing with your arms. Your abs, back and legs should be engaged. Also make sure you are using proper form even if you do them on your knees. Do all kinds of push up variations (I guess you can look up on YouTube).…

I had grilled chicken breast, steamed broccoli, a salad with butter lettuce and radicchio.

Thank you for the links. I have not counted calories before and have no idea how much I am consuming in a day. This is going to be interesting...

Thank you for your reply. Losing weight slowly is good. I lose weight slowly as well but I think that's the reason why I don't have any loose or flabby skin now.

Good for you for becoming aware of the nutrients you are not getting. That is very important.
