Male: Swimmers soccer players water polo Female: Haven't noticed, to busy watching the swimming!

Bottled water, from my home. I can't stand Starbucks! My husband loves it, so every sat morning, after the gym, I bring my bottled water, and banana, while he drinks that god awful liquid they call coffee.

I did not take that comment in any other way than what you intended!! I laughed because my husbands always has a colorful comment when someone pulls out a check book at Costco or the grocery store, and holds up the line to fill it out.

That made me laugh. There is a rare occasion that I still need to write a check, and my husband laughs at me, that I still use the checkbook.

BMR is the minimal amount of calories your body will burn, if you were to lay in bed all day and not move. Each time your heart beats, you take a breath, your kidney filters, ect.... there is smooth muscle movement. Thus a calorie burn. TDEE is the BMR plus your normal daily activities. You get out of bed, brush your…

I have no studies or links to back up my theories, only my own personal experience. I lost about 43lbs 4-5 years ago. I started out with the processed low cal meals to a healthy, clean diet. I found when I indulged in pizza, candy, or something unhealthy, it showed up on the scale on Wednesday. Pizza was always one that…

I ask for help. There are 2 men that I am friendly with, and they are so non judgmental. I never feel uncomfortable asking them. In fact one day he saw me doing it w/o a spotter and I ended up with a lecture. I did watch a young high school-er doing squats with a friend "spotting" while texting on his phone. The boy lost…

I do both to keep it interesting. But, according to my HRM, I burn more calories running then I do on the elliptical. Its not a huge difference, but enough that I notice a difference in total calorie burn. I feel, that different cardio, works different muscles. So I like to change it up throughout the week.

Schweaty Balls Cowbell Most of the commercial, but my favorites are the pubic hair transplant, and the Viagra...."if the erection last more than 4 hours ...call all your friends and brag" The Gore/Bush debates

There is some excellent advice here. I am a newbe runner myself. I am an indoor cardio queen, but never ran outside. My son convinced me to run a 5K with him in September, so I needed to get outside and train. Running outside is a totally different {and better, imho} experience. Start out slow and advance as you see fit. I…

I had similar pain as well. My advice is to ice it and rest until it's better. In the meantime, have you had you gait analyzed? I finally went to a dedicated running store. They put me on a treadmill and watched me walk and run. Apparently I roll my ankles in {Pronate}, thus the knee pain. He had me try on about 10…

I am 5'5", 135lbs. I have been doing a modified C25K. Yesterday I ran 2.34 miles at a 10.20 pace, [according to runkeeper} It was about 25-30 minutes including warm up and cool-down. I burned as per my HRM approx 250 calories.

My son did an interesting oral report for a psych class last semester. The reason why we get so annoyed at public cell conversation is because We only hear one side of the conversation. As a result our brains are unconsciously try to decipher the unheard side of the cell call. That is why it's difficult to ignore a one…

I just heard on the news's medical segment, that studies have shown, those who log your daily intake, lose 11% more weight than those who do not log. I have been maintenance for over 4 years and I still log, 90% of the time.

I have been using the cardio equipment at the gym regularly for 4 years. My son just convinced me to enter a 5K with him. I have never entered a race in my life. So I just started to run outside this week. Its not that bad. Just get out there and do it. I cannot run a straight mile, there are walking periods in between.…

Have a great time!

I lost my weight over 5 years ago and have been maintaining for over 4 years now. I still weigh and measure 90% of my diet. Fruit and vegetables are my only "eyeball" measurements.

Ask your wife to do it for you, that way we can get to know her better. {and you indirectly!}

I'm guessing it's the "GOOD DIET AND EXERCISE" that does the trick.

I had knee pain for the longest time. I finally went to a running store and had my gait analyzed. I did buy a pair of running shoes through the store. They did take the time to work with me. It made a HUGE difference in my knee pain. Now, I know what type of sneaker and what brands work best with my feet, I can now buy…

Bump, I want to read this tonight.
