just remember, any shoe that binds your foot and toes is counterproductive to barefoot running, your toes and foot should spread out naturally as a shock absorber and a your arch should begin to work how nature intended. minimalist shoes do not allow for this, they did help me to not heel strike first, and allowed me to…

I have several pairs of vibram's that I wear for barefoot/minimalist running. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to barefoot run. my advice is to take it slow. been a year since I went barefoot, can't ever see myself going back :)

I stopped trying to get people to lose weight with me, I get met with attitude everytime I try. maybe for your sister you could tell her you need someone to work out with, get her a gym membership with you, tell her you need her for motivation to lose your own weight?

best way to prevent foot odor is to rotate your shoes daily :) this allows them to fully dry and air out

it is going to depend on genetics and how much your skin was stretched and for how long it was stretched. best thing you can hope for is to exfoliate your skin, drink lots and lots of water, keep it moisturized and do strength training, but the main thing that will help is genetics :) many have no options other than to…

when I did the 30 day shred I also hit the gym for 30 minutes. shred in the morning, gym in the afternoon

raw milk is illegal in some states if you can believe that. Of course owning your own milk cow is the best way to getting milk, but if you do not have that option I would say either a farmers market (though they heat their milk alot of the time before selling) or direct from a farm that milks. I was raised on raw milk and…

I'm poor so I'll just do the old toyota jump from the commercials :)

8 is probably the extreme bare minimum you should consume. divide your body weight in half, that's how many fluid oz you should drink every day if not more. "new studies say you don't need that much water" ROFLMAO then don't drink it, hehehe

quit drinking everything but water, you'll get thirsty enough to drink it eventually. sad people don't drink water for so long that they despise the clean crisp taste of it

learn to run naturally or "barefoot running" there are still shoes you can buy such as vibram fivefingers. this usually causes problems such as shin splints to go away.

even if you don't exercise at all you should be able to lose 1-2 pounds a week by your diet alone :) focus on healing and eating right and you'll be happy when you can exercise again :) If your doctor says upperbody or something is okay then do that, but what you eat is going to have the greatest impact no matter what.

I have cheerios and 2% milk every morning, usually with some kind of fruit

every 10 days I went up so I could finish in 30

if you properly wash a kiwi as you should with any fruit that has a permeable skin, it won't be hairy :)

your omega 3 fatty acids are in the skin, why wouldn't you eat it? when you wash the kiwi scrub it under the water and it makes the outer shell into a much easier texture to eat. When you get over the texture of the skin and start letting the sour flavor of it interact with the extreme sweet of the core, it is a fantastic…

lol, prob not then, my bad :)

OP said 5'4 206

absolutely you can lose 40 by thanksgiving. that 2 pounds a week crap doesn't apply to those that have more to lose and the first part of the weight will come off much faster than the latter half. with nothing but eating healthy and light exercise, usually half hour a day, I have lost over 50 in the same timeframe, nothing…

I steam most of my veggies, gives them all a nice soft texture :P

the counting crows

your hair appointment can be changed, the date of the pre-season game cannot. I'd say it's okay to skip a workout to spend quality time with family and friends, one day is not going to sabotage your efforts, have fun! :)

I don't log my food, just keep a general daily total in my head so mine def fluctuates day to day

you can do it, there are variations on many of the exercises to make them easier. it's a great beginner dvd in my opinion. you will get what you put into it, that's for sure

I went from drinking no straight water (just soda/coffee/juice/ect...) to drinking nothing but water, now I am up to 130 to 180 ounces a day average, never under a gallon. I only crave water now, and it amazes me how much I can put down after a short time of exclusive water drinking. at first I had to use the restroom all…

patience consistency lifestyle change not a diet

shirt started at a XXL, pants started at a 42 waist medium is tight but comfortable, large is loose and kinda baggy, current waist size is 34 since may 25th

thank you for considering service to our country and working so hard to achieve your goal. I was active army for 11 years and was at the high end of the weight scale for almost the entire time. they will look at your weight to get in but once you get to basic/ait you will be tape tested for body fat, make sure you are…

I don't know if I'm sensitive to wheat but I pretty much cut out 99% of it in my diet just to see if I felt better, I did :) I couldn't find a really good replacement wrap so when I am not using lettuce leaves I try and keep a pack of nori and wrap with that, only liike 10 cals

I think it's a great idea, biggest thing that helped me when cutting out sugar was upping my water intake alot, started carrying around a gallon of water everywhere I went, lol
