The key to any exercise is to be intentional about the movements you're making for maximum results. Including something as natural as walking. I've had my MBT's for 2 years and still feel the muscles - because once I "found" them I wanted to keep using them, so I contract, etc intentionally. Can't tell, of course, how much…

Hey Everybody - I just want to empahsize, try them before you dismis them - I can't speak for the shoes you're talking about but I can speak for the MBT's - I was skeptical at first, but think about it - of course you still have to walk, so the "shoes" can't do that for you - but you can feel the difference almost…

I wear MBT sneakers and sandals as often as possible and I can feel the difference in which muscles are being used. MBT - all the way from ankle to hip, even abs; other good shoes - ankle and lower leg. The MBT's are very different from any other shoe I've worn. I haven't tried the new sneakers but imagine they are…

It is discouraaging when we have a set back, for whatever reason. I just try to remember that in a day or two it will be gone as long as I start eating carefully again, and get a little more exercise than planned. I try to stay focused on my long range goals, which somehow helps with the discouragement. Just keep going -…

:smile: That's just super! Congratulations on both your decision to get fit and healthy, and your progress! I agree about MFP - it's the best fitness management tool I've ever found - easy to use, lots of foods and exercises already in the database (and thanks to all who keep adding more), great support from other users -…

When I have a bad day like those described in this thread, I try to think about what I've eaten for the last few days...or weeks. Sometimes I'm so rigid with myself that I trigger a really bad day - everything I've wanted, I cram into one day as if I can never have it again. So when I notice myself getting too rigid to…

For some reason I can drink veggies, but I don't like to eat them. So I had found I just wasn't eating them at all - the ones I liked were too sweet or too high in carbs for my diet, and the "great greens" I just didn't like. But all ground to a liquid - with a tsp. of spirulina, a little more than a dash of raspberry…

The book - haven't read it - you might check your library - if they have it you might get a few good tips to add to your routine, without the expense of buying it. The coloc cleanse - I have done them occasionally over the years to detox , and that can be helpful to general well-being. But this "new" emphasis on weight…

i haven't checked this thread in awhile - glad my post was helpful at least to consider. I'm struggling to keep that set of exercises in place - and realized that with all the walking/running I'm doing (for me, it's a lot just to be going out 2 times 7 days a week (5-6 miles total) I'm tightening up and need to stretch a…

I just found this topic - haven't looked around the message boards too much yet (too busy trying to get my nutrients in line! :smile: ) Also I have trouble reading this tiny font - anyone know if there's a way to make it bigger? To the topic - I was being very lazy, with the FL summer humidity being my latest excuse. So I…

I've found the smae thing - eating out is tricky. I have family visiting a lot and they like to go out to eat. Recently I ordered a "chicken caesar salad," dressing on the sidet. Used very little dressing (not even half); and the salad consisted of greens and a grilled chicken breast, only. I gained 1.5 pounds. True, I…

Jeneranda - My thought is to consciously acknowledge that circumstances are the issue - we always fall back on what we learned earlier in life when under stress. So that part is normal in your circumstances. If you're a believer, pray that you start every day fresh; the joys and successes of the previous day stay with you…

A few years ago I started doing a set of exercises from a Pilates book I read - sorry I don't remember the name. I ended up with the best legs I've ever had - from a set of 4 exercises, done everyday; it took about 4 weeks before I was seeing truly noticeable results, and it was well worth it! I started with 10 reps each…
