  • Relax. It's normal. My weight has fluctuated as much a 8 pounds (3.6kg) in a 24 hour period. It's going to happen. Like hwoe said, stop weighing everyday, you'll get discouraged and disappointed. ETA: Only scale that matters....…
  • Sounds like a very slippery slope you are on. Just be careful. Women believe things sometimes even if they aren't true.
  • Get a humidifier. It will help greatly. As far as lotions go I have skin allergies so am limited. My mom sent me Utter Butter one year and it worked great for about 3 weeks, then I reacted. I just use Aveeno daily moisture, it helps.
  • I'm a newish runner myself. Less of a run and more of a chunky butt shuffle, but it's running to me. I ran my first race Oct. 27th this year, 10K. It felt awesome. My goal for 2014 is to run 1 race per month, either 5 or 10K, for the whole year. On top of that I signed up for the Tour de Cure and will be riding 100 miles…
  • For a male you intake goal is rather low. As a female I don't go lower than 1550 at 5'4". ^^^ Not sure what most of this is supposed to be doing for you other than draining you wallet. 50-70g of protein is not a lot. Again, I aim for 110g. You want to lose weight, eat at a caloric deficit. You want to look good after…
  • An Aussie will likely WELCOME that kind of temp. My sister had one in Detroit. Only problems we ever had was keeping the fur around her pads trimmed so she didn't end up with ice clumps in them.
  • Price is why I suggested buying a used bicycle. You will get more quality in used then you will in buying a crap new one for $200. And you NEED bright lights NO MATTER what your path is! Just an FYI, the following quote is from Nevada Law regarding bicycles. http://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/NRS-484.html#NRS484Sec503
  • Anything that tastes bad. i.e. Beets Brussel Sprouts Cauliflower Soba Noodles All JUNK food. There are many more but it's all by taste and these are my top offenders.
  • Yes they "need" these things, they just don't want them. If that makes sense. When they get serious they will shed the excuses as to why they can't. and just start doing. For some people that never happens.
  • It will be easiest to deal with your friends by remembering these 2 facts. Group A is is perceived as negative by their actions when in fact they are simply amazed by your dedication. Group B all wish they had your dedication without actually having to work for it. You are doing this for you! None of your friends actually…
  • As a frequent sufferer of stomach bugs/illnesses I say no. Eat a bland diet for the next few days or you may run the risk of being ill all over again. Just because you feel "better" doesn't actually mean you are. Slowly work back into your normal diet and if you feel you need to gain a pound or two the work on it then.
  • Can we add Brussel Sprouts? Not because they are nutritionally bad, but because they taste horrible!!! Beets too!!!!!
  • Start here and determine the frame size you need. I don't think at this point it is important for you to get fitted by a professional BECAUSE you eventually wish to move from a steel frame to an aluminum frame. http://www.ebicycles.com/article/bicycle-frame-size-charts.html#bicycle-size-calculators Secondly decide what…
  • For me it is 32F. I moved to the Detroit area about 13 years ago from the south and have still not adjusted to the cold weather. I would much rather run when it is 95F outside!
  • Some dogs just aren't runners. No matter how much we want them to be, they just aren't. I have a Lab/Spaniel mix that loves to run but can't do more than 5K so I don't push her. I have a Shar Pei/Lab mix that loves to run and will give himself a stroke. For him, we only run in the winter, and never more than 2 miles. He…
  • 30DS, RI30, Insanity, P90X...... They are all workouts that work as well as you do. Like anything else, the results you get are based purely on what you put in. You can find 30DS, as well as most of JM's videos on YouTube. Try it for a few days. If it works well with your schedule then order it from Amazon, or keep using…
  • QFT My scale is more of a "How much does my cat or dog weigh now" kinda thing. You know weight with them, then with out and do the math. Don't really care what i weigh as long as I am able to reach my fitness goals. BECAUSE if I am able to reach my goals then weight will inevitably come off.
  • Yes it is possible and likely.
  • Does your HRM have a chest strap? If not you have watch, not a HRM. I don't mean to sound rude, just trying to be honest with you. It is very difficult for people to burn over 10 calories a minute. For example, running at 4mph (and yes that is running for me, I'm 5'4", 172#'s with very short legs) I will burn about 290…
  • Apparently the kind you don't share!
  • I would do at least 1500 +exercise calories. I lost 13 pounds in the 63 days. I also went from a size 16/18 to a 12. Be careful doing this on 1200, I managed it for a week and a half before I was so exhausted I spent 5 days in bed sick and had to start over. Try it if you want but don't be afraid to up your calories if you…
  • Find a Toramina's. Order the 2 foot pizza! 12 slices of pizza, 1 foot long! It's awesome!
  • I say go for it. After all it's just hair. If you don't like it wait 2 weeks and change it again. Or cut it all off.
  • A - Just because your fat doesn't mean you have to consistently eat between 1100 and 1200 calories a day to lose weight. B - Your body uses food as fuel. You aren't likely to get very far on an empty tank. C - Do it how you see fit, I'm only offering advice. So go spend time and money at a doctors office trying to find a…
  • Feel free to add me. I'm on everyday. Not always social but if you ask I will answer. Just make sure you want the honest answer when you ask.
  • Awesome bike!!!
  • I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to have this one but I will never be able to afford it. Instead I will likely be purchasing this one with the Income Tax Refund I get.
