Yes, what a privilege heart disease & diabetes is! Malnourished & overfed is awesome! Ignorant.

Your muscles need to rest-that's when the real work is done. If you don't allow them to rest & rebuild, your workout is pointless. You end up undoing your work. If you feel you have to lift every day, divide the workout in two and work opposite muscle groups every other day to give muscles time to rest & rebuild. Also, IMO…

Yup. My fingers and hands will swell sometimes.

Do you want an actual heart rate monitor? Or an activity tracker? I have a the wahoo heart rate monitor which uses Bluetooth to work with my iPhone. I also have a Bodymedia Fit Armand to track my activity with my iPhone. (I'm a bit of a gadget freak. I also have the Withings wireless scale & blood pressure monitor which…

Brush your teeth right after your last meal. Insomnia can be a common temporary symptom when quitting smoking. It will pass. Get yourself in the habit of a bedtime routine so your body will start learning that its time to sleep. Try to go to bed the same time each night.

I'm not sure if bodymedia makes an app for Kindle. Either way, you don't "need" the app- you can buy a small display that will show you real-time information from the band if you don't have Bluetooth. Otherwise, you just have to wait until you are near your computer to physically sync the information via USB. The bodymedia…

Check with your local running store for 5k's that are free.they will usually have informal races/runs. But if you want to participate in some of the bigger/organized races, you should pay the fee. Not only does it usually go to a cause, but it helps cover the costs of organizing the race. Those bagels and bananas you get…

Ditto on taking it to a bike shop so they can give it a look over & make sure it's safe. They can also show you how the gears work, and maybe do a fitting to help alleviate the pressure on your hands.

Doesn't like brides. Reads thread about brides. Yup, trolling troll is a troll.

That doesn't sound like a healthy living environment, and I'm not talking about junk food. Can you get your own place?

I wear a road ID bracelet sonI don't have to worry about carrying ID. Everything else (my door key, debit card/cash & iPhone) I stick in my sports bra. It's amazing how much I can fit in there :-/

Breville is a good brand. I have the juice fountain. Easy to use, easy to clean up.

Not too dizzy to post though. Here's a tip: if you are having a severe reaction to a supplement (and being dizzy to the point of not being able to "see straight" qualifies), do not waste time posting on the Internet. Call for help and get medical advice.

Because feeling frightened and ashamed at the sight of a grown naked man is how we should be raising our future women: be afraid girls, the mens are gonna rape you lolololol. Also, if you think that's how child predators work, please don't ever have children. Wondering if OP was so disturbed by this because he's a child…

Perfectly normal. Don't sweat it (if you'll excuse the pun).

Yes.

I bring my lunch to work. I've found a soup/sandwich/snack combo is the easiest to prep & for different variety. There are all different kinds of soups/stews you can heat up & throw in a thermos; and all different kinds of sandwich options too. Deli, grilled, pannini, sweet, savory, loaded with veggies, different kinds of…

"A calorie is defined as a measure of food energy". Actually no, no its not. A calorie is the amount of energy (or heat) needed fo raise the tenperature of 1 gram of water, 1 degree celsius. If you can't even get basic chemistry correct, I'm not gonna bother reading the rest. Sorry.

Who told you this? Why? Put the scale away. Try weighing yourself once a month, not once a week. You are focusing way too much on results, and not on behaviors. Because your weight fluctuates so much, it will only drive you crazy. Get a calendar & some gold stars. Every day you don't exceed your calorie goal, give yourself…

Is he hungry? I'm asking seriously. If he's not hungry, he shouldn't force himself to eat. Sometimes it can take your body a little while to get adjusted to a new activity level. After a few weeks of increased activity, he'll start to get hungry for more fuel, and it won't be as hard to get those calories in.

You are a creeper's dream. And your trainer is a creeper. 1. He's gotten in trouble for doing this before. HE's GOTTEN IN TROUBLE FOR THIS BEFORE. Do you need a neon warning sign?! 2. He won't take you out in public because he's probably married/dating/banging someone else. 3. If you think it's over, it is over. 4. He's…

Stop weighing yourself so often.

Can't you do your own grocery shopping? Why is your mom responsible for your choices?

The hokey pokey & slim fast. (Seriously though-its the same way you slim down every other part of you. Whole foods, reasonable portions, consistent exercise & time).

Cut out caffeine, alcohol & sugar. Sit down to eat your meals-do not eat on the run. Eat real food (and no, this is not expensive. Do some real grocery shopping instead of picking up convenience foods on the go). Take 5-10mg of melatonin an hour before bedtime. Have a consistent bed time routine-at the same time every…

If you've lost 8lbs since Jan 2nd, then I would say that whatever you are doing is working. Keep doing it. Once you no longer see consistent weight loss, then recalculate.

It took you four years to gain all that weight back. You want to lose it all in 10 months? My advice? If you really want to make this a permanent change, let go of the date. Your body will lose weight at the rate it wants to, and it probably won't be on your schedule. Make small, lasting changes that focus on nourishing…

Yup. Decided to detox after the holiday indulgences. It's been easy up til now. Now I'm starting to miss it :-)

Eat it back or gain it back. Your choice. Your body needs fuel. It can't run on empty tank forever.

I have a breville juice fountain & its great. Very tough, easy to use & easy to clean.
