  • Only you can say if it is right for you. I will say that I have known a few people who underwent surgery but, since they hadn't un-learned their bad habits, they were back to the same weight in a matter of months or years. I also wonder whether you are at a higher risk during surgery because of your current weight. That…

  • CELL PHONES! Seriously, if you are yapping, you can't be working out that hard. Oh yeah, and the heavy stuff and the moving around. I hate that, too.

  • For me, it was very accurate for the first couple of weeks but now I have been in a holding pattern at the same weight for a couple of months. Just can't give up the occasional glass of wine (or two).

    in Shake Weight Review Comment by lynmayo February 2010
  • Well, day 5 of the shake weight and I have to say that I am glad that I kept the receipt. You can feel a decent burn if you do the exercises for a few minutes but I can do regular dumbell exercises for a few minutes and get the same burn. I also prefer the flexibility of dumbells where you can really target a muscle as…

  • The guy at Whole Foods said that they have been having problems stocking it. Apparently there is a shortage of sesame seeds. It may just be out of stock.
    in Where to find Tahini? Comment by lynmayo November 2009
  • First things first: take it easy on yourself. You are incredibly busy and it is harder to maintain a good diet and exercise regimen when you are on the run all of the time. Go easy on the self-critical thinking, it isn't helping you. I have also been a vegetarian for about 15 years and I would much rather mow down a bags…

  • We have a store in Denver where they film you while you run with different types of shoes on and then tell you which pair had you running with the best form. It is more expensive but it may save you from some permanent problems down the road. Maybe they have something similar where you live. If not, the best shoes for you…

  • I try finding someone who will work out with me so that I have the motivation of going because I committed to someone else. Maybe try something new. I go rock climbing when I get bored with everything else because it is more of a social activity and I feel like I am developing a skill, not "working out".

  • I feel your pain. I haven't noticed a drop at all and, since I have MFP as my home page, I am reminded of it every time that I turn on my computer. I have been consoling myself by thinking that it is kind of like a moving train: the train doesn't change direction right away if you suddenly throw it into reverse. I had been…
