www.nerdfitness.com - discovered it on this site, it has two at-home workouts under the "Free workouts" tab - and if you have a playground nearby, there's the playground workout as well.

If you're going to bed at midnight, you can't be getting up and 4 and expect to lose weight or gain overall health. That's an uninformed expectation on your husband's part. While I agree that 2 hours at the gym is not really needed, it sounds like you're already working on that. The kids are looked after. You're putting in…

Judgment about what I eat is deeply tied to my shame/guilt complex about food, so for now, the diary is staying closed. I'm hoping that I can continue being totally honest with myself, whereas if I open it up, I'll want to hide my lower moments... or even worse, have moments I think of as "successes" be criticized as poor…

Let me start by saying I respect your point of view. I would argue that the larger issue in question is the culture of excess that has the potential to cause global upheaval - because of food inqualities, because of resource consumption as developing economies grow, and yes, because of resource consumption on a planet that…

PCOS kinda sucks, but it's manageable, and it's not a death sentence for your eggs. Don't starve yourself, because you don't want to mess with your metabolism any more than the syndrome already does, but focus on healthy, whole-foods eating with special attention to limiting sugar. Anything to fight insulin resistance…

Someone had left chocolate on everyone's desks this morning... I could have afforded it calorie-wise, but I tend to have an addictive relationship with sugar. So I snuck it onto someone else's desk (this person is fit and enjoys sweets, I wasn't trying to sabotage).

I'm not keeping it to myself, exactly - most people at work know I've been making an effort over the last several months (and so have they). Although they were supportive at first, things got a little weird around the holidays as everyone got their halloween/thanksgiving/christmas gorge going. The chatter and conversation…

Wait, totally throw Robb Wolf googling away and replace it with that Nerdfitness thing. A quick glance suggests it involves way less moralizing. ;)

1) Dance Time with the kids. 2) videos at home. 3) google Robb Wolf (the Paleo guy). You can ignore the Paleo part and check out his exerise advice: wall pushups and chair squats use "equipment" you definitely have in your home; adding a couple of dumbells means you can do some of the other exercises as well. 4) if you can…

A thought: For all the people who say "caloric deficit, nyah nyah nyah" - there ARE other factors to calorie burning, including when you eat, and when you exercise, and whether you are already insulin resistant. Metabolic rate blah blah blah. So don't get on your high horse when people find your comment unhelpful. As a…

Interesting article. What strikes me is that the regulations the author talks about are still about trying to manipulate personal choice, not the context in which we make our personal choices. What's the point of taxing soda if you're subsidizing corn producers? I work with families who are homeless and working poor -…

I have some normal motivators and some weird motivators. 1) Belly fat is a potential sign of insulin resistance, and you probably don't want to be diabetic when you're older. If you are experiencing some insulin resistance, there might be other changes going on in your body that could limit your health and mobility later…

Looks like a ton of people here DO need to think about it.

Oh man, there are some d-bag remarks on this thread. Right now we live in a world where corn production is subsidized - this HFCS in EVERYTHING. Watch a movie, watch some television, do a little content analysis: what do you see people EATING on television? I'm leaving aside fast food ads, here - I'm talking about the…

"I pose this question: why is it more acceptable to criticize people who smoke but not people who overeat? " ...It's not.
