People ask because they want to help. You always have the option of opening it up and then restricting it again. Can also open it up to friends and just ask your friends for help not the whole community.

I think the key is to find what works best for you everyone’s body is different and will react to foods differently. I have found eating organic vegetarian and no added oil works best for me. I have little to no processed foods working on cuttingit out alltogether. Would like to go to being Plant base in 2013. A huge…

I make a big batch of scrambled eggs up on Sunday night to eat during the week. 3 white 1 whole egg a day. Just scramble up a week’s worth and reheat. Add some veggies and they taste great.

Tips or things that have worked for me. Sunday night is prep night. I am busy during the week so prepping is important to me. Being ready with a plan will help me stay on track. Wash all my berries in vinegar and water 1part vinegar to 10parts water rinse with water than keep in fridge. This keeps them fresher longer Cut…

Just my thoughts on if you want to gradually get in to weight loss Step 1 YOU MUST GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME. Start telling yourself you can do it you will do it. You must think positive. Start with I will go to the gym X times a week (maybe its 2-3 times 30 min) What has worked for me is classes. I will go to zumba or…

Just because something says vegan does not mean it’s healthy. Lot of processed vegan food is high in sodium and it does not mean you can eat as much carbs as you want. I always could my fruit and veggies. Try to limit one fruit a day and eat it worth a meal not on its own that way it will not spike your sugar levels.

I love going to the indoor pool and swimming when its freezing out. I close my eyes and do the back stork and pretend I am in the Caribbean somewhere.

Processed store bought juices are not as healthy for you. Preservatives & added sugars YUCK.

When I need a boost I do a mean green juice from the movie Fat sick and nearly dead. I don’t add it to my food log since it would through the fiber count way off. 1 cucumber 6 kale leaves 2 green apples 4 celery stokes 1/2 lemon chunk of ginger. I make a big batch of it up and keep it in the fridge had 8 oz of it every…

I coudl not find a parking spot so left and worked out at home. :( Health food store was crazy too. Just wait they will go back to the couch and we can get our fav tradmill again.

yes I updated.

wear a bikini and run a half marathon EDIT: not at the same time

I buy Ezekiel 4:9 Sprouted Wrap (or any wrap you like) and cut it in up and bake it at 350 for 5-6 min till they get crispy. Then I make a homemade hummus dip.

I try to eat 1200 a day. One thing you can do is log what you have been eating and see how many it is. For some people it is easier to slowly cut down their calories once they know how many they have been taking in. Good luck!

LOVE my Happy Herbibore cook books by Lindsay Nixion. http://happyherbivore.com/ Forks over knives was a great movie along with these books featured in the movie The china study, How to prevent and reveres heart disease and Engine 2 I still take a daily vitamin, and B12 (can only get it from meat) every now and then as…

Read the next two words "especially water". Soda and some teas have been known to help form some types of stones among other illnesses.

I stopped drinking milk after doing research in to Monsanto and Genetically-engineered bovine growth hormone (rBGH) in milk that increases cancer risks. Do your own reserch you will be shocked with what you learn.

Do not believe any study with ".gov" in the web address.

Not True. The most common cause of kidney stones is not drinking enough fluids, especially water. If you have ever suffered from them you know how important Water is.I squeeze lemons and freeze them ice cube trays. I pop a few in my water every day. The acid in lemon also helps prevent stones. For UTI problems you can…

I never use the package seasoning. It is loaded with sodium. I also only use the 99%FF ground turkey. I like to do salads and not the taco shells will save you a lot in calories and sodium too.

Gas gift card? water bottle? Sporting good store gift card?

The great thing about C25K is you can go at your own pace so do week 1 again if you feel like it but do not quit. I repeated a week or two when I was doing it. Plus by repeating weeks it allows your body more time to adjust to the new exercise and you will be less likely to injure something. I second the not doing the…

Do not quit repeat day's or weeks if you need to but DO NOT QUIT. I did it on the the treadmill becuse it was winter in Maine when I started. If you have a 5K race you have registred for you may want to stick with outside but find a new flater place to run. I found it to be a big difrance when going form a treadmill to…

I just want to be healthy the weight loss is just an added bonus that comes with it.

I would take a home test. If you are worried it can keep you from getting it. Make sure you are eating enough and getting all your nutrients in Fat, Crabs and protein. I would see a Dr if it happens next month. If you are doing crazy diets and cutting out all fat and your body shuts down the first to go is the reproductive…

I agree with all of the above but my number one is……. Do NOT quit no matter what!

It’s because of the US agricultural policies and the way the US Gov is subsidizing the food we eat. Check out this You Tube Video of Michael Pollan called Twinkie vs. Carrot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JH-Qv3f73x4

My shin splints were always caused by tight calf muscles. I use a Pro stretch and foam roller you can get the pro stretch cheeper on Amazon. Also I used Dixie cups filled with ice. Just peal the top of the cup away and you can massage your shins with the ice. This seemed to help more than just putting ice on them if you…

My husband slaps his knee when he is LOL. I toataly love this about him.
