Hi :) Welcome back on track! I also have to loose a lot of weight but just feeling better about myself is a great accomplishment (besides improving my health). Sent you friend request.

I have to compressed disks and usually helps very much some stretching or pilates (done very slowly without forcing anything), bridges and a good posture. My trainer actually teached me to control my position especially when sitting every 5-10 minutes. Anyway I had my best improvements while doing acquafitness in deep…

Ok... First today was Monday and by definition sucks... Then my SO that gar a regression to I don't know being 3 years old and jealous on his brother! Work that just accumulates and I should finish everything by Thursday morning... A volume more than enough for 2 weeks...

Thank you all! At the end was a nice icecream that solved the mistery! I was just craving for something :) . As for the amount of exercise I have krav maga classes every 2 days but my doc said to me to try to keep as even as possible my meals even if exercising. Maybe eating a little bit more but without feeling the right…

You look just... WOW!!!!

Hi, welcome!

My trainer told me that besides getting rid of the fat (this is the primary objective), I should work all muscles and the obliques are important to achieve the waistline. There are several exercises to be included in abs workout. For me also all core muscles are important because they develop a good part of the force when…

I mean the forum's girls night. No men around of course neither finannces etc. they just have to stay home :D. For me is just walking in the city center and of course talking about men and maybe stopping to have some icrcream or to the Irish pub.

I can also compliment him afterwards :P

Especially if he brings his wallet and waits nicely while i'mdoong a little bit of shopping. Let's say.... One full day :smile:

Welcome!

I don't have a precise goal just i'm listening to my doc (more or less) and I've Lost 5 kg in near 1 month. But it was a combination of taking care of food, gym and metformin. Still need to go at least 25 kg. I know that it will just slow down but it is ok for me.

You look just great! I strongly believe that the ideal weight is purely personal. For example I am obese if you look at my weight and just above average if you look at my body fat (36%). So if I were you I will just do what make me feel better.

Simply fantastic!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Icu6oXYL00 I remember this being a killer. Also ballet/plie squats as thathockeychi suggested. Then the horse riding stance if you want you can keep some little weights in your hands. It is a great core/innerthigt exercise. http://www.shaolin.org/general-2/horse-stance.html

For me you should focus on prevention. Keeping the eyes open. With my female student I made a little exercise. Outdoors in a skating park (with lots of obstacles) asked them what rout should choose to go from A to B. Then teach them when is better to avoid reacting. And for the extreme situations I will do for grabs…

Well as often as I can :D Without embarrassing him in front of relatives ghghgh.

Same story here. And the thing that helped me a LOT was keeping a journal not about food but about emotions that I had when I ended up fully drowning in binge eating episodes. And Another important step was not to feel anymore guilty. So I was able to broke that circle. Now maybe it happens to me when I am very upset and…

One caffe-latte (around 200 ml of milk) in the morning and one or two expresso here (macchiato), one after lunch and one later. No sugar. But I don't use any creamer etc, just plain milk. I just cannot start my day without coffee and milk for brekfast. And still doing ok.

Me also :)

This is just fantastic!!!!

Try to write down here your usually grocery list so we can suggest you some recipes. And maybe some ideas for other things to buy. I'm also living by myself and I am a decent cook (no venting here).

For me it is 3-4 krav maga classes a week plus walking. And in between I will just add little something light weights and stretching. I also loved body pump, strike zone, acquagym.

Just love your post! :) In fact it is just personal choice! PS. Sorry for you being far away otherwise you could just join my gym. :D

Anyway for the ones interested in I'll just put some links (pretty recent) on diabetes t2 and metabolic syndrome management. http://diabetes.about.com/od/nutrition/a/Mediterranean-Diet-And-Diabetes.htm http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/34/1/14.abstract?sid=8afb5522-fa6b-4195-8afd-73f014113b23…

Anyway I am not lifting I am just focused on krav maga. I was doing general fitness but I found it a little boring. For me is just functional training and explosive power (coordination + speed + strength). So I do a lot of body-weight training, including ground fighting with some heavy weights, even heavier than me). I…

You are free to have your own opinion I am just following my doc advice that for now it is working and this shows just in the perfect blood work I have. And also there are modern approaches to type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance that show that low carb it is not beneficial or worse can trigger kidney issues that are…

I will check so maybe I get some meals ideas. I just love to cook maybe too much :D

Well at least from what I saw in OMS guidelines and in the eating related diseases clinic where I have my doc they just recommend this ratio. Anyway the thread refers to people not following low carb diets.

I am insulin resistant and I have to eat carbs at each meal. At dinner a little less than lunch but anyway I have to eat them. I have something like 30 g bread or equiv at breakfast, 80 g at lunch and 60 at dinner. I am also taking metformin at lunch and dinner that definitely helps me keeping an even glicemic/insulin…
