  • I'm a Type-2 diabetic and I don't want to lose toes or blood flow to other regions or die before I want to.
    in Why do you excercise, really? Comment by stanthemovieman September 2013
  • I can't say this has happened while jogging but it does happen on the elliptical. Perhaps you are squeezing your arms against your sides and that's cutting off the blood flow to your hands. If it continues, perhaps concentrate on having a free flowing arm swing from the shoulder and see if that helps. If it persists then…

    in Running playlist Comment by stanthemovieman March 2013
  • Another idea is to just go through the music you already have and create a new playlist from that. I had a "jogging" playlist of about 3 hours worth of music that I just culled from my full library. It took some time and a little trial and error on the BPM but it was a pretty good list that I now must rebuild because I…

  • If you have an iPod or iPhone, there's an app called Podrunner (I'm not sure if there's one for Android). It is various types of techno music at various BPM that all run for about an hour. The app is free but there is a paid upgrade that lets you adjust the BPM and skip the announcement at the beginning of each track. They…

  • Palace Station is off strip and while not the fanciest hotel in town it is clean and very cheap. This week you could get a room for $22 a night. Another option is Las Vegas Hilton. Nicer than Palace Station but about double the rate. Still reasonable. Excaliber is on the strip and about the same price as Hilton. Of course,…

  • I used a personal trainer some years ago and found it very helpful. She provided me the guidance and knowledge to work what needed to be worked at the beginning and move on to other areas. When I had to give her up because of the cost I started to back up. Now I use an app on my iPod called Weightplan. It's free to…

  • I've been told the body needs time to adjust to its new condition of being in somewhat better shape and the adjustment of your body's chemical make up. Give yourself time and keep up your diet and exercise. Your body will catch up. Also, don't weigh every day. Once a week is plenty. My day is Tuesday mornings as soon as I…

  • Grilled chicken, salads with chicken and dressing on the side, lean cuts or beef like filet, steamed veggies, baked potato with no butter or all the toppings on the side and used sparingly.
    in what do you order when you eat out ? Comment by stanthemovieman January 2013
  • Congratulations! I hope to one day also post such a milestone. I'll still have about 30 to 50 pounds to go but I'll still be celebrating!

  • Can you use natural peanut butter? I have actually grown to prefer it over brands like Peter Pan.

  • I'm at 250 after starting at 280. If anyone wants to buddy up, I'd appreciate the company.

  • Fortunately I don't have that problem as my wife recently had bariatric surgery so her eating had to change radically. Your hubby should not just give lip service to supporting your weight management goals, he should be proactive as well. If he isn't willing to set aside a portion of what he cooks to make it conform with…

  • Congratulations and good luck on your journey. My wife had biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch on June 6, 2012. This is the most radical but most effective form of the surgery. As of January 6, 2013 she had lost 100 lbs. The full bypass is similar to the BPD but without the duodenal switch. I have no idea what…

  • OK, I've backed up a bit. I have adjusted my calorie intake and am stepping up my workouts. I hope this gets the scale going back in the right direction.
