Go to your nearest TREK bicycle dealer. You will not find what you need nor get the proper service and advice in a place like Walmart, Target, etc. I "shopped" for one for over 2 years by trying to take the cheapest way out. They do not make bikes for women who are both height and leg length challenged. My old high school…

You show know that tea, like coffee and alcohol dehydrate the body.

Suggestion: Beer is loaded with sodium (includes the 1% non-alcohol types too). You will gain weight. Wine will also play havoc with your program. Any alcoholic drink will mess up your total cholesterol profile~~big time. It raises the triglycerides in your cholesterol profile and can send it off the charts. Triglycerides…

This often happens as the spouse of the weight reducing person starts "looking slim, trim & drop-dead gorgeous". Whether the "enabler" (a term often used for alcoholics who cannot drink alone so they try to get others to join in their destructive behavior) is able to admit it or not. They are afraid of "losing" that…

A nice warm bath with one full cup of epsom salts dissolved in the water. Relax & soak for at least 20 minutes. The sore muscles are due to the newness of you working out. In time, the muscles will become accustomed to it and the pain will lessen, little by little.

You can add me but one of the excellent (men) members on here is: daddyratty. He's knowledgeable, uses a great common sense approach and you'll do very well. Claire :)

Do you REALLY NEED to make such things that will be barking their call to your brain and...ultimately, your mouth.

Excellent! Keep it going.

Get a good set of RESISTANCE BANDS from WalMart (sporting goods dept.). Low cost. Very good results. Just follow the routine on the chart that comes in the package. Also, you need at least 30 minutes of cardio activity that keeps your heart up at TARGET RATE for 4-5 days/week. I'm doing it, and I'm 73. Claire :)

Julian Walker's on MFP as exercisesucks. Here's his Facebook page link: . http://www.facebook.com/TeamWalkerFitnessClub He is awesome and so is his wife. He's a U S Marine and both of them do ONE-HANDED push-ups, on their TOES. I think he's certified and has a personal web page. Good luck! Claire :) Add me to your list if…

I've always hung out with the guys. Besides that, it's the rebel in me. ROFL, lol, lol. BTW, never stand in the way of a woman who shoots.

STOP drinking those diet sodas. You will often GAIN wt. instead of losing it. Those drinks are loaded with SODIUM. You need to REVISE YOUR DIET PROFILE to include SODIUM and FIBER as your two more of your NUTRIENT VALUE choices. We are all allowed only 1500 mg. of sodium in any 24 hour period. Start READING the labels…

That Starbucks item is costing you about $15.00 per GALLON. You would not want to pay that for gas for your car~~~or, would you? Caffeine is NOT heart healthy. It places the heart into extra cardiac workload (tachycardia). If you want a visible resemblance of how tachycardia affects your body, stand in your bathroom and…

1) BUY: a digital food scale (less expensive at walmart 2) MOVE: your individual measuring spoons and a set of individual measuring cups & put them next to the food scale. 3) KEEP: a small straight blade spatula or knife with the food scale 4) LEVEL OFF: all excess quantities so you serve yourself exactly ONE portion…

It probably seems like "forever" to you. My last one was over 2.5 months long but most are often just a couple of weeks. First, you need to rule out other causes.

1) How much has your total SODIUM been running per day? That will keep the weight going crazy. Recommended daily amount: 1500 mg. maximum. Stay away from high sodium content foods and beverages. 2) Are you drinking any diet sodas? Those are bad news for losing weight. 3) Are you making certain you're emptying your COLON…

It could actually be a full COLON. One of the main side effects of many antibiotics is either constipation or diarrhea. It depends upon how your body reacts to the meds. You really need to pay close attention to emptying your colon every single day. Drinking plenty of water is a key factor. When you start messing around…

Mark it down as CALISTHENICS (SIT-UPS, PUSH-UPS). Yes, it IS a fat burner~~~big time. If you want more accurate calculations, you would need a top quality HRM watch or buy the BodyMedia device.

You're a WINNER and you're very dedicated and faithful to becoming a drop-dead gorgeous, very healthy woman. You are and you will be even more SUCCESSFUL. Ignore all the ones who appear to be scoffing with their non-verbal behavior. You're going to leave 'em all in your dust as those excess pounds keep falling off your…

I prefer to weigh once/week (Tuesdays) but I've had such a struggle with the fluid retention lately, have been weighing every morning to keep close tabs on that problem.

My family medical history. Have been doing genealogy research for the past 7 years but, for the past 2 years, also medical genealogy. There's enough who died from cardiovascular type diseases to shock the sox off anyone. I flatly refuse to allow any $$$-hungry chest cutter (cardio-thoracic surgeon), cut this chest open and…

Congratulations! Now, the biggest challenge is on your doorstep~~~keeping those fat lbs. off forever. Stay with the program. Keep logging your food/exercise diary. That will help a big bunch. :)

Please remember this~~~you are loved! Just keep loving yourself every single day ~~~enough to be looking at a healthier image when you look in the mirror. You're a winner so stay with the program and you will succeed in reaching that healthy ultimate goal. :)

Meat is always weighed BEFORE cooking, i.e. RAW WEIGHT. That includes poultry & fish too. Pasta is weighed as a DRY WEIGHT (before cooking). LINK: http://www.everydayhealth.com/weight/food-scale-for-weight-loss.aspx LINK: http://www.ehow.com/how_6938627_weigh-food-diet.html

Buy a nice big box of EPSOM SALTS. Run yourself a nice warm bath. Dissolve ONE CUP of the EPSOM SALTS (stir with a WOODEN SPOON...not your hands until dissolved). Soak in the bath for 20 minutes. Removes a lot of the soreness from the muscles. TIP: do NOT store the box of epsom salts in the bathroom (it will harden up due…

Just have a good laugh when you get that "if you ate like this, you would weigh ...blah, blah, blah... in 5 weeks from today." Our metabolism and multiple other factors enter into your ongoing weight loss. I've been using this program since 16 Nov 2010 and I can verify those little blurbs are nothing more than…

Your sense of humor is absolutely PRICELESS. Shame on Costco for banning you from shopping there. They should have rewarded you for being so entertaining. Claire :)
