My advise...DON'T DO IT! I got hurt too. Dog decided to turn and pulled me right over and I put my arm out to brace myself. Pulled shoulder out of the socket. DAMN that hurts!! Never again. If you do...I really wish you luck and safe travels. :)

Look at the body of a marathoner v /s a weight lifter. I do both. I crashed my motorcycle at the age of 51 after being diagnosed with thin bones..(osteopenia.) I broke no bones and got minimally hurt because I had muscle to support the bones and cardio helped speed healing. All young women will age. But how you age is…

Im a cosmetologist. :) You can use baby powder to absorb oil. Be careful not to "blob "it on..they do make a "dry shampoo,"which is a spray powder in a can. Or you can blowdry with low heat upsidedown to fluff your hair. Some conditioners will weigh your hair down and attract oils . Your friends are right too...you dont…

Here is my 52 yo wisdom...(you've probably heard this from me before) "Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, "WOW, WHAT A RIDE"!!!!! I have done all I've wanted to and…

I wonder how many zeros they are gonna use...maybe they like the number zeroooo.....maybe all the clothes will only have zeros because its a cool word...0 -00-000-0000..... or maybe no numbers...maybe letters...a -b-c...now that'll show us…

My husband and I were not speaking for a long time and I knew if given a chance I would stray. So I divorced him so I wouldnt cheat during our marriage. After 3 years we were able to get on the right track and remarried. I would never cheat on him and its better the second time around! But can a cheater change? Depends on…

Okayyyy! Now I gotta take my bib off my profile...*sigh* such work...lol and yes I would date you Big D! ! Only if Suz gave permission!! .

I think it depends on how hard you are working out or how fast. For example, if you are running a 10 minute mile, at 150 pounds, you will burn appx 110 calories according to one site... Runner's World has you at 113 calories for a 10 min. mile. If you run at 9 minutes per mile you'd burn 108 calories according to the first…

Yes, normal. Your breathing is compromised. It's okay to slow down and breathe through your mouth some.

I made pancakes....does that count?

Yes you should do it now. muscle burns more calories at rest and lifting burns the calories longer than cardio does after a workout. :) Keep a log. Always. Dont need lots of detail in it just the basics to see your progress. have fun with it! :smile:

I had a veggie omlette with no cheese and tea with splenda so I could enjoy a couple of the chocolates my kids gave me. I adjusted so I wont go over my calorie count but im eating what I want. Whooootttt!!

Get friends who you want to emulate...dont be shy but always send a request and a small note telling them why you want them. My friends are mostly runners and a few who are trying out the home gym and DVDs. I have a few that read History like me so we can chat and a few who are great cooks and can give me recipes. (Im not…

See you soon,and thanks for the support and help you have given me these past…

I am really impressed with the control everyone is having on this thread. I wasn't going to venture onto here because of the touchy subject, but am relieved I did. One was saying about facebook and how hard it is to read the vile things posted. Me too. :( I am a Republicrat myself...dont fit into either party and am…

I ran 25 miles yesterday. I needed the electrolytes to put the fluid into my muscles and organs for replenishing my body. Water would just slosh around in my stomach and possibly cause dilutional hyponatremia. (If i drink too much-but thats rare) I cant eat peanut butter or fruit during a run so Gatorade is great for that…

Sign up for a 5k. Walk it if you have to. I trained for my first one exclusively on a treadmill and got top 10 in my age division out of 65. My kids never said I wasn't a real runner after that! people who run are the most wonderful people I have ever met and especially the runners on here!! couch25k is a good program. I…

HIIT...high intensity interval training. You gotta work out really hard and sweat buckets! Drink a lot of water - some with electrolytes...gatorade 0 or low calorie to put fluid into muscles to avoid cramping. eat 12-1500 calories . :) good luck you can rock this!! (Fat cells are not muscle .. no conversion there.)…
