Jiffy pop or Orville....I use the white corn...just because it seems to have a lighter taste if that even makes sense with popcorn. Air Poppers can sometimes be tricky to find...but Walmart has them pretty often now. It is so easy and fast...just put a bowl under the little spout....pour in your popcorn kernels, put the…

I don't know if the sea salt will help you lose any weight ...I will have to look into it. I was just experimenting one day trying to not use butter and decided olive oil would be a good replacement and the sea salt...I stole that idea from the whole sea salt chips that are all over the place. For a different spin I also…

This is great and if you do it right you can spread this 200 calorie snack out for a while. I split it up into 2 servings and munch on it throughout the day. 3.5 cups of air popped popcorn drizzle 1TBSP of olive oil sprinke 1TBLSP sea salt mix up and enjoy! **edited portion** Try a bit of Tabasco sauce tossed in for an…

lol....the best part..it is reasonable in price in comparison to other gyms in the area. It is actually cheaper than the Y. I have to admit...it is a brand new gym too so that might make a bit of a difference.

ooopss....guess I need a retake on the stats then..I broke ALL of those rules. :blushing:

I really like this gym so far. Two days in a row....yesterday was abs and arms just to get my feet wet again...today was everything else. Of course I had to sit in the sauna and use the hydro massage machine before I left. :happy: That alone might motivate me to go on a consistent basis. I get 3 personal training sessions…

:-) Totally inspiring Cherapple! Thank you. I sucked it up and joined a gym this weekend....Lifestyle Family Fitness. They offer a month to month membership so I am not stuck if I still find that this isn't for me. This will also be enough (hopefully) to give me a jumpstart to use my home gym. Crossing fingers!

Thanks for all of the advice! I probably do need to weight train...I know that if there isn't a health issue keeping me from losing that this would help a little...I just hate it so much. I have a home gym and a bunch of other exercise tools and the only one that is not gathering dust is my treadmill, I have tried and…

:laugh: I guess we all know where I will be tomorrow!

ok...just did a tape measure and fat percentage calculator thing... although not perfectly accurate I am over 30% body fat. (navy estimates about 31%...YMCA...not even going to type their estimate). this was off of http://www.healthstatus.com but I backed it up with another site and it was really close to the same.

Good luck Dewassel!

:-) no offense taken at all. I don't know the fat % but I am "chunky" . I am carrying it in my waistline (fun part...lower belly pouch..eeek), arms and a bit on the back...even can see the chunk in my face. My legs and backside are fine. To put it in clothing terms...I am a solid size 10 ...can't go bigger at all...but not…

I am 40, somewhat active and run a couple miles 2-3 times a week (bout a 10:00 pace average). Some weeks I run more...but right now not enough to count it. I eat anywhere between 1200-1450 calories most days with one "cheat" day a week where I still don't go over 1600 most of the time. I can hold this out for a few weeks…
