  • I think you are better off starting slow. You can work on speed later. I walk at 3mph and run at 4.5 mph (im only 5' though) right now because in the past I was running too fast and it never worked out in the end bc of my asthma and knee problems. I am trying to go slower this time so I can avoid the knee issues and…
  • I eat low carb (<35 net carbs usually) and I lift as heavy as I can -- I use my max weight to get to 5 reps but not able to get a 6th one in. I seem to do awesome with that combination, more so than having more carbs. However, strenuous cardio is harder with no or low carbs in my opinion. It does help me to eat some…
  • wow that game was INTENSE tonight!!! :D and i agree 100% - win lose or tie im a cowboys fan til i die ;)
  • i dont really ever feel different, but i would just suggest lots of fruit, nuts, vegetables & dip. maybe melt some dark chocolate on strawberries? trail mix for sure....
  • I personally agree 100%. I eat if I am hungry, don't eat more if I am not. I listen to my body and it seems to work very well. If I do eat back my exercise calories I end up gaining or maintaining and not seeing the results I am looking for. I agree it is likely because everything is estimated and those estimates are not…
  • Hey everyone!! :) I am Sam from southeastern CT. I have been riding since I was 6, well my whole life but I started taking lessons when I was 6, so about 17-22 years now. I ride english and I do 3 phase and 2 phase eventing, dressage, and I used to be on our stable's drill team (we dont have it anymore :/). Also founded…
  • Awesome game sunday!!! :D :D
  • I like Udi's multi grain bread, I am not sure the brand but it is a frozen mac & cheese...I want to say Annies, Udi's granola, and Tinkyada spaghetti. That is about as far as I have gotten so far on GF products tho! I have made my own teriyaki sauce as I can't seem to find any, but other than that I usually just eat meat…
  • Feel free to PM me! I was a vegetarian for 4 years up until about 6 months ago. Now I eat "primal/paleo" for the most part. It was a huge change for me, but in such a good way now. It was tough in the beginning I admit!
  • I also have been going by the above for quite a while (on a 1200 cal diet) and I noticed the biggest difference below 50 net carbs (fiber does not count so its carbs - fiber) but once I got below 100g I started losing weight pretty quickly. However, I am now working on ketosis so I am lower. But I try to have <50 net…

  • Well if your dress is longer than where your butt would show then don't wear any leggings IMO....I don't think they look that good unless it is more of a tunic dress - something where you wouldn't need leggings. But I would suggest white only because the dress is tan and the boots are brown...so anything else probably…
  • Although I cannot answer your question from a dietician standpoint, I do know that it varies for each individual depending on their recent carb intake, etc. But you can buy keto sticks that can test it -- not sure exactly how accurate they are but I am sure they can give you some idea. Also found this site that you may…

  • Why are you so amazingly awesome?! <3 (good answers girl! :P)
  • lmao nice julie! :P

  • Hello! I'm Sam/Samantha from CT. I never understood why I always had "brain fog" among other issues. I thought I had all of these problems - ADD, insomnia, asthma, among many others. I decided to go paleo/primal after being a vegetarian and living on grains for 4 years. I immediately felt insanely energetic, clear headed,…
  • definitely do compound exercises --- they work several muscles at once to save time. a lot of people do 5 sets of 5 reps with their 5 rep max weight so that you get the definition quicker and are working as hard as you can. this is the most effective thing I have ever done for a workout and I see results instantly. one…
  • I suppose it depends on the people themselves....I am not an argumentative person at all...I hate it... My bf and I used to argue occasionally, and especially in the first few years as we were very young and going through a lot of changes in life, but we have been together for almost 9 years now so we really don't have a…
  • Check out this site: http://www.1percentedge.com/ifcalc/ A friend introduced it to me and it is truly awesome IMO, it's what I had been looking for for a long time. Worth a try! Basically you eat more on strength training days and less/normal or whatever you choose to set it at on cardio/off days. I tried out the every…
  • I do too!!!!

  • haha YES :) def adjust my bra and fix my shirt....but id do it if someone was looking too if necessary lol idc
  • I used to be a vegetarian and had to cook 2 different meals...now I just make one and sometimes have alternatives....I have to eat gluten free so usually I will use the products that are gluten free and no one notices but sometimes I will give them the regular stuff and cook mine separately. Much easier than cooking the…
  • haha definitely depends on the day... bad days maybe a 3, or less sometimes cuz I am super hard on myself at times.... really good days probably an 8 .... average days probably around 6 or 7? ..... on the bright side, this is alllllll going to be changing to a 10 in the next few months as I reach my fitness, work,…
