i have been doing the Keto way of eating for 3 weeks - down 9.6 lbs and feel great. Not quite into Ketosis yet, last time I checked it was past trace. But I find this woe very easy to follow. I was at 2 different functions over the past 2 weeks with so much sweets, and chips and pretzels available right in front of me. Not…

congrats,,, I too have lost 50lbs but it is so hard to lose the last 50. Started few years ago at 255 and now down to 205. Tried trainers and boot camps but lost and gained the same 10 lbs. Last week I decided to come back to my fitness pal, and my TOPS group, where I started and now walk 5km a day. Back to basics. I too…

if you super set your circuit it will add to your cardio - you can be done in an hour. However so long as you are not working the same muscle group 2 days in a row it's up to you if you want to spend more than an hour in the gym. I do cardio every other day by itself and super set circuit 3 days a week. I worked with a…

You can do because if I can,, anyone can. I procrastinated for many years then when I hit 50 i decided to do something for ME. I lost 57 lbs in 2 years but gained back 14 thinking I could go back to my old ways. Now I don't look at it as a diet but a new way of eating. Something I know I have to do for the rest of my life.…

I have been using the lean shake for couple of days and love the taste. I find it very filling but with 25 grams of protein, I am not surprised. The powder mix is only 9 grams if you purchase it in Canada. For some reason the premade AND the powder ones are both 25 grams in the US. Try adding peanut butter and frozed…

I'm in,, i have stayed away from the usual fast foods for past 2 weeks. I allow chili, tossed salad or plain baked potato from wendys and fibre bun and chicken or turkey breast from subway. Pretty much no fried foods from anywhere. Someone once told me if you wouldn't find it in grandma's pantry then you probably shouldn't…

I don't see it being the food they ate either. I definately think the "boys in black" are up to something. Hoping there is another twist coming up that will break up their comfy alliance. I do love watching the show though,, keeps me motivated. We had a biggest loser contest for 8 weeks in my hometown. Over 250 applicants…

hi there - my trainer told me never work the same muscle two days in a row including your core. So I guess it depends if you are working arms and chest on day one and legs on day two then core on day 3, that would be ok. I prefer to do super sets, that is I work the whole body 3 days a week with a days rest in between. But…

Dark riider42, my tranier had me do those,, they were called leg sweeps but i had to hold a 30lb bar bell straight above me at the same time. He also did not believe in crunches unless there was something supporting my back. i used either a medicine ball on my lower back or a bosu ball. I have found through experience that…

I think I am probably one of the regular boring people at the gym but good lord, if you had been in the anti gravity yoga class with me,, I was the one that had the most trouble getting my big butt in the sling. By the time I got "in the position" it was time to change positions. I'm sure I was the topic of a few…

HI,,, you are already on the right track,, you know you need to do something. I also had a problem with binge eating so now I try to keep healthy snacks readily available. Cucumber, carrots sticks, celery, frozen yogurt, or plain almonds, something of each texture depending on what i crave. My problem is if I see someone…

Hello all Just heard about this site yesterday so I thought I would give it a try. I have lost 50lbs in the last 3 years but have been losing and gaining the same 5 lbs for few months now. Time to get back in the saddle and try to break the plateau. I think once you hit a certain point you think you can go back to old…
