I use these for weight training and cardio kickboxing. http://www.amazon.com/ZEMGEAR-WELLNESS-UNISEX-BAREFOOT-ACTIVITIES/dp/B005HGPW5K/ref=sr_1_1?s=shoes&ie=UTF8&qid=1390608329&sr=1-1&keywords=ninja+shoes

I just got in the mail a two toe shoe for my weightlifting and cardio kickboxing routine. I am going to try them out tomorrow to see how I like them. I found them because kickboxing was roughing up my bare feet. I wanted something lightweight that would not slip on the floor.…

My everyday cup of coffee is Emeril's Big Bold Easy. If I have a second cup, I'll go for any variety of flavored coffees. I get the Big Bold Easy (50ct) delivered every other month via Amazon and supplement my other coffee by using my coupon at Bed Bath & Beyond or by getting some k-cups at Keurig.com when they are on…

I add about 1/4 tsp of peppermint extract to my vanilla protein mix with ice to make a homemade shamrock shake without the green coloring. Refreshing!

I ate at Five Guys Burgers and Fries and I was 1000 calories under yesterday. Maybe the 4+ hours 8.5 mile hike had something to do with it? I'm banking those saved calories for the BBQ that I'm going to on Saturday. :)

I'm 47 and feeling in the best shape of my life. I started this journey in September by walking 5 miles a day and joined MFP. I lost 17 lbs fairly quickly but then the weight loss started slowing down. When winter on it's way, I joined a fitness bootcamp. I go to the bootcamp five days a week. At the beginning I could not…

Congratulations on all your hard work! You look great! From the picture, it doesn't look like you have 70 lbs to go, that is how awesome you look!

You need to post this every week. We all get discouraged that we can't be perfect on our diets and exercise. You've got this Scott and welcome back!

Do they make Lululemon pants for guys riding bikes? Yesterday, I was driving up a mountain and admiring the line of men biking their way up when I noticed the leader of the group sideways smile thru the bottom his sheer see thru pants. I'm lucky I stayed on the road. I kind of felt sorry the guy behind him, unless he could…

I've been to two of the Triple D places where he has filmed. Whenever I go to Maine, it is a must, that I stop at Bob's Clam Hut to have a Maine Lobster Roll. The other place I just ate at the other night (actually morning). I waited for over an hour to get a booth starting at 12:30 AM after seeing a show and hitting a…

I had a partial (I have my cervix and ovaries) done at Brigham and Women's by Dr Walsh (an expert in the field) due to fibroids. Recovery was a breeze and I did not need any pain medication after I left the hospital. It was day surgery. I took one week off from work. Five days after surgery I was back to walking 4 or 5…

I have a black and white long haired Cardigan Welsh Corgi. I agree, I swear he sheds 2-3 times a year. Even in the middle of the winter. I grew up with a Samoyed and he shreds more than she did. He is a sweet dog but is a little too loud for me in the barking department. He always has to add his two cents. He loves his…

Thursday I spotted a Promax Fit and Crisp Vanilla Marshmallow bar in the grocery store that looked similar to a rice crispy treat with 13 grams of protein. I was excited to enjoy this crispy treat and get an extra boost of protein. I took a bite of it. I had all I could do to not spit it out. The flavor was so gross. It…

The first week is the worst, and each week gets better. I'm on my third month of bootcamp. Each month has a different routine on Tuesdays and Thursdays where we do a lifting. Monday, Wednesday and Fridays are different each time. Mixing it up keeps you from being bored and makes sure that you get a full body workout by the…

I think people may prefer raw because they are trying to follow a raw diet. What is great about a raw diet, is it takes to a more clean diet that is vegan. I can appreciate a raw diet but I am not willing to do it 100%. I eat light salted almonds which are roasted as a snack a lot of days. They can help stop a craving or…

Last week I was all excited that at Old Navy I bought a size 6 jeans, where a year ago I was wearing size 12 Lee Jeans. So being confident, I pulled out the one pair of jeans that I saved from the early 1990's and tried them on. I couldn't even get the button to within four inches together. So I took them off and looked at…

My husband was on it. Lost 28 lbs AND his gall bladder! BTW, he found the 28 lbs again later, the gall bladder is still missing.

I don't know if it is available when you are but I discovered Fit Frappe by Big Train. I will use that occasionally after I have burned a lot of calories working out and need to get more protein in. It has 65 calories for an 8 oz serving with 10 grams protein. It comes in 5 different flavors, I currently have mocha. I got…

I added PB2 to my vanilla protein drink and OMG it tasted so good, it was like I was eating peanut butter fudge.

It looks like the Seborrhoeic dermatitis my husband gets on his chest, shoulders and back. His doctor had him shower with a ZNP bar of soap to clear it up. ( http://www.amazon.com/ZNP-Bar-4-2-oz/dp/B000RJHHRS/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top ) You can get it at the pharmacy OTC, they maybe need to order it in for you if they don't…

I got this scale in October, the first one was defective and the company reached out to me when I did a review on it on Amazon.com and replaced. The second one has worked perfect. Ozeri Touch 400 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004NXUAXW/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00

Hi Girls, I am 46. I joined MFP in the beginning of September and started out by walking about an hour every day. I lost 19 lbs by counting calories and walking. Now, in NH it is COLD and dark outside so that limited my walking. So last month, I joined a fitness boot camp. The first month I didn't lose any more weight but…

74 floors on 11/24 and walked 6.74 miles. I don't remember that day exactly. I must have done a lot of walking in the neighborhood that day to make up for Thanksgiving. A typical one hour walk will get me 25-30 floors. I believe that I took a different route that is more challenging.

I've had my fitbit for about three weeks. My kids think I'm a little crazy that some nights I end up doing laps inside the house just to get to 10,000 steps. http://www.fitbit.com/user/23TQRM

A thoughtful strategy Mrs Third! Portion control indulgence, LOVE IT!

Part of deciding that you are done eating for the day is trusting that you are truly not in pains of hunger. I used the word hunger vs hungry because I have in the past been hungry for chips, cookies, and chocolate. Really, they were desires, cravings or boredom but not actual hunger. I have disassociated hungry from…

No solution that you'd use, but I noticed that guys with an apple shape, wear suspenders. I have the same problem with pants not staying up and I figured that it was because I don't have much of a waist at the moment.

Bowdoin College is the next town over from Bath in Brunswick. I live in southern NH which is about an hour or more depending on traffic from Boston.

I live in NH. Love it here!

I used to use MapMyRun for my walks and typically that app would have my calorie burn around 380 for one hour walk at 3.5 mph. Now that Endomondo syncs with MFP I have been trying that. Endomondo put my 66 minute walk at 483 burn. Does one app consider elevation gain/loss as I walk in a hilly neighborhood? I eat back most…
