Daisy Dude Dukes....I thought I'd seen it all.

What she said. Stayed up late watching it while babysitting in the 80s. Dont. Like. Clowns.

As a single mother for 14 years several friends said to me, "Your son doesnt' have a great future, he has the odds stacked against him--you being a single mother and all". They underestimated me...I put myself through nursing school with a 4am paper route, home catering business and raised that boy on my own with no…

Mmmm....bacon...and beef. Nature's bounty.

Not to get all Darwinian here, but let's be honest about the biological imperative (to procreate with attractive members of the species). We can all say that we want to get in shape to 'feel healthier' but there are probably a lot more of us who also want to 'look good' and get an appreciative look from a male member of…

I use 5lb weights for all exercises except chest flyes in Level 1--for those I use 10lbs.

Actually, that is a very good idea. There was just a video that made the national news here in the US. A man and his son were filmed imitating the walk of a young girl with cerebral palsy as she got off the school bus. It was awful but it did my heart good to see him and his son raked over the coals for bullying.

Great, just what the world needs--a man raising another inbred peon like himself. I don't know much about the harrassment laws there, but it seems to me you have the right to leave your home without being harrassed and bullied.

Good point, if that trainer is still on their journey, then they can really motivate someone. When it comes to life experience in general, I'm more likely to listen to someone who has 'been there' AND is still working on it--they have some credibility and I'll cut them some slack. However, if you want to represent the…

When I worked 12 hr shifts I counted from midnight to midnight--24 hour period. I ate my heaviest meal when I woke up (dinner usually) since I needed the calories and energy to get through the first part of the night. I snacked on fruit and protein (cheese sticks) during the night and ate breakfast at 4am…

You are amazing and an inspiration for many!

The research you're thinking of states that diet drinks cause the same release of insulin (metabolic response) that sugary sodas do. In other words, the brain thinks it's getting sugar and releases insulin which can slow weight loss. Research is also showing that diet drinks and all other diet products increase sugar/carb…

Yep, having lived in Ireland, Alberta and now California, I can tell you that most things are cheaper here in the US including food.

I asked my friend who is a nephrologist about the 8 glass/day recommendation. He said the body probably only 'needs' 6 glasses a day and you're already about 5% dehydrated by the time you're thirsty. So I drink a minimum of 8 cups because my skin looks better and it keeps me from holding onto water weight. Again, it's…

There is a lot about the metabolism that we dont understand yet. It's not as simple as calories in/calories out. When I vary my carb/calorie intake I drop a few pounds fast (and yes I know some is just H2O but it stays off) When I just do 1200 calories a day, it takes longer. You can go back and forth all day with the…

I'm doing the Los Angeles marathon in spring and one in N. Ireland in Sept '13. I wouldn't mind a partner now and again, anyone in LA?

I loved running in winter when I lived in Alberta; don't recommend going out in > -15C, the lungs don't like it. Shoes: Saucony's or any shoe with some tread-- Clothes: see suggestions above (ie. layers) and a good cool-down stretch is imperative. Enjoy :)

Protein is awesome for cravings esp. cheese sticks for me. With increased exercise the body wants protein instead of sugar.

I just read an article that said late night cravings can be attributed to a Vitamin B deficiency. Eat chicken or fish for dinner (high in B12) and see if that helps. My husband buys my favorite chocolate Toblerone but he keeps it hidden where I can't find it. Each night if I have a craving (and I do) he gives me one small…

I'm in! I'll start day 1 tomorrow the 21st--I have 10 lbs to lose. I completed this program before and I dropped 10lbs FAST and toned up very quickly as well. What worked for me was to do 5 days, 1 day off. I did 10 days of each level so it takes you up to 45 days to complete but my body wanted a break in between. When I…

Mine is 1 c. unsweetened almond milk (35 cal), 1/2 fruit (usually berries, 30 cal), Whey vanilla (140), few leaves of spinach. That keeps it to about 200 calories, if I've exercised or plan to I add peanut butter.
