here's the deal... people are so consumed with themselves they will not notice you most of the time. so fake it till you make it. i refused to pay for a gym membership but i love lifting free weights. so when i got my current job, it has a small gym on site and i am lucky to go during the day when it's not so busy. but i…

they banned the "Fen" part of Fen Phen, not the "Phen" (phentermine). As the above poster said, it works ok for about 3 months then it is a matter of keeping it off. You may get flamed for it, but if you have no heart problems, it can help some people jump start their weight loss. Or people can get real dependent on it (a…

I recommend a book called "Skinny Thinking" by Laura Katleman-Prue or even Bob Harper's book "Are You Ready?" Both address the issues of emotional and/or stress eating. The bottom line is to address or feel whatever uncomfortable situation you're in that causes you to reach for food in lieu of x, y, or z. It's a lot harder…

i'll reply to myself then in case anyone else runs into this issue. here is how i solved the problem...by logging 25 min strength, 20 calisthenics (vigorous effort), 20 low impact aerobic. that pretty much covers the dvd.

I have been doing Bob Harper's Pure Burn Strength Training the past 3 weeks and really like it. There's a 65 min version and a 20 min version and I try to do the longer one 3 x a week and incorporate the shorter one into walking or riding my bike if I can. 30 day shred and all that are OK but I was looking for some…

The grocery stores sell carbonated flavored waters you can mix with rum or vodka. Cranberry-Raspberry is good. Buuuut, so is Peach or Strawberry flavor. If you go out your best bet is diet coke & rum, or vodka & water. I knew a guy who would straight up drink a shot of tequila in lieu of actual drinks. yuck!

I think I have seen a couple of these Lean Cuisines/Smart Ones available in a "lower" sodium. It may not be too significant, but it's something... But, I feel your pain and am not only busy, but annoyed with preparing a lunch every day. This takes an extra 5 minutes at the most, but try a Flat Out (or something similar) +…

It depends on how you ride, but i started to buy and ride a bike b/c i have some minor knee problems too that just got aggravated even walking 2+ miles. now i have been riding for almost 3 months and i have not had ANY of the old knee problems i used to have when i worked out at a gym and also walked or did the elliptical.…

this one is pretty inexpensive but you may need to buy the rear rack, too http://www.amazon.com/Topeak-Cargo-Net-Tote-Basket/dp/B0038F1EJK/ref=sr_1_4?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1308672815&sr=1-4

I was so scared yesterday while riding my bicycle, someone honked RIGHT BEHIND ME!! for no apparent reason - actually it happens a lot where I ride (South Houston near Hobby Airport). I don't know if people are just obnoxious and like to scare the living *kitten* out of people on a bike, but I wonder if I had one of those…

old navy definitely sells "women's" jeans/pants!! not JUST juniors. some of their rhinestone-encrusted tops are bit much for me, but maybe not for you! *sometimes* kohls or jc penny's has okay women's clothes. and you probably should be wearing petite but just try stuff on! good luck!

I wonder, of all the information out there, how have people determined these visual tools? For instance, if 3 oz. meat, fish, and poultry = deck of cards, did someone/association/organization/etc weigh these and/or compare or are the majority loose estimations? I'm working on developing an infographic based on this topic.…

I second that - I wear a normal under wire (old) bra and then put my regular sports bra over it to strap those babies in. i am a 38D and it's okay so far. I used to work out at a gym, but now am doing Jillian Miachaels 30 DAY SHRED!!!! so there's a lot more frolicking around than on a bike/elliptical/lifting weights. Good…
