  • Weigh yourself once a week, guys, not every day! And see if you can calibrate your scale. Try weighing something fairly heavy on it, a few times and see if it's at least consistent.

  • I am doing a recumbent bike about 5 days a week for 30 minutes or so. It is a bit tough when you start to get your heart rate up high enough. I do a weight loss routine (varied resistance), but I also slow down and speed up during the routine, and gradually push the resistance up and try to peddle faster as I warm up. The…

  • I think one issue issue is that if you eat empty, fatty calories, you will be eating a very small volume of food. So you will feel like you are deprived.

I've had no problems with pain doing 30 minutes on the bike, and my knees are fine too. I also recommend Pilates, I do a simple abs routine and it's a help. If you can find a…

  • Keep in mind that the safe limit for a woman, for alcohol, is 7 drinks PER WEEK. And a "drink", if wine, is 4 ounces. This spring, I decided to cut out alcohol completely. I had been drinking several bottles of wine per week, and my liver results were a bit iffy. So I gave my liver a holiday. I had nothing for about 6…
