Uponthisrock, Body Pump is high reps/lighter weights. They also have a class called 24Lift I am thinking of trying. It sounds like heavier weights from the description. Which do you think is more beneficial?

I've been curious about this class at my 24hr. I want to start doing some weight training, but I don't really know how to start. This sounds like a good idea :)

I am not really a runner(yet), but I enjoy running on the treadmill on weekends when I can go to the gym. I usually jog at 4.5-5 mph for about 15mins, or a whole mile. When I get proper running shOes I plan to try harder.

Bump,would love to hear responses!

Shirataki noodles

I love this korean butternut squash porridge recipe, it also has little mochi(sweet rice flour balls) floating around in it. http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/hobakjuk Simple ingredients, squash, sugar, salt, water, sweet rice flour. You can probably sub the sugar for splenda or whatever if you want. I also suggest trying…

I noticed I drop more weight when I run/jog.

Spinach for salads shirataki noodles sliced turkey almond milk cereal Foster farms chicken breast strips(precooked, frozen) frozen entrees when I don't have time to cook Greek yogurt even though I don't eat it as often as id like I always have some fiber bars for when I don't have time to eat breakfast at home Salad…

I really like their cranberry walnut gorgonzola salad dressing in the refridgerated section.

I have wondered this as well. I seem to burn more cals on the elliptical, but I feel my heart rate is way higher when running. I don't have a hrm, but I just go according to the machines. I get way sweatier running, but I can do the elliptical way longer. I usually do 30min elliptical and 20mins jogging.

I got fat being a foodie. Always going out to try diff. Restaurants and such. No exercise. Just watched tv in free time...I think I almost accepted that I was going to be fat forever. Then I saw pictures of myself and just hated them..we took a nice vacation but I barely had any pix to show for it because I hated myself in…

Lower calories and I prefer the taste. Almond milk is 60cals/cup, while skim is 80cals/cup

After a while,you get used to it..or well maybe thicker skinned? Its hard to describe. I try not to think too much into it while assisting for euthanasias if I do i will get teary eyed. Seeing the owners bawling is very tough though. It helps knowing that the pet isn't suffering anymore.

I started my diet eating no carbs from bread, potatoes, pasta etc, just from fruit and veggies. Lost weight...now I decided to add whole grain bread, cereal, fiber bars. Still losing weight!

Hi, I am a vet assistant, maybe a little less responsiblities than a tech, but anyways, are you looking to be a registered technician? If so there is schooling to be done! Usually around 2 years worth. Or you can always be an unregistered tech, they usually do the same things as a registered. Depends on your skills. I do…

Shop at Hispanic or Asian grocers for produce! Last week I got kiwis 10/$1, blackberries 2packs/$1!

I love watching it on Netflix for motivation. I watch atleast 2 episodes a week!

WTF, that really angers me!! Why would someone do that!?

Yes, very hard on knees and I have never had knee problems in the past. I can only do it a couple times a week.

Try kroger/ralphs, or if you have an asian grocery store near by they are half the price of kroger :)

Shirataki noodles are a life saver for me! I love love love them. That's 3 loves! You might want to start out with House Foods brand, tofu shirataki noodles. The pure shirataki noodles have more of a rubbery texture, which I don't mind, but tofu shirataki is good for starters. Anyway, only 40 cals for 8oz of noodles! I…

Noo, I love horses :(

Thanks! I bought one. Not for me..for SO!

Thanks!

I highly recommend the Aspirin mask for acne prone skin. Cheap and simple to make, very effective. Dissolve about 8 uncoated aspirin in a few drops of hot water, enough to make a paste to spread over your face..you can add a squeeze of aloe gel or honey if your skin is dry. Apply and let dry. Rinse off with water but scrub…

I could never have one myself because of how much they shed. I work at a vets and we see a few malamutes, more siberian huskies tho. Doesn't matter the time of year, they leave fur every where lol. As far as temperment, I prefer clingy dogs, ie a Lab. Malamutes seem a little more independent.

whoa amazing! Oh, and where does one get that ice cream?

Laughing cow+steamed spinach=creamed spinach :)

Yep, such a tough choice. I've lost weight wiithout a hrm, I eat back my exercise cals sometimes, depends how hungry I am lol. I am kind of scared of spending so much $$ on shoes. I have never spent more than $60 on shoes, oh well..hopefully it will cure the splints!
