DARK TOWER SERIES!!! (after getting through The Gunslinger which is totally necessary)

OK, so they're not eating their dinner, but they're eating all the junk/snack food--what if you didn't buy junk/snack food?

1200 is too low--that's why you're starving. Check out the Eat More to Weigh Less group. It's opposite almost everything we were told about weight loss and the concept is scary. It takes a while to get your mind around it, so give yourself time to read about it and think about it and see how it makes sense. Don't discount…

Cool Dane! Oh, and MFP will totally work for you as long as YOU are totally working for you--you'll get exactly as much out of it as you put in. Good luck, you can do it!!! One step at a time, one bite at a time, one workout at a time, one lesson at a time.

two suggestions: 1) if you start him using free weights, please be sure he is taught proper form! Many Y's offer fitness classes specifically for that age group. 2) start slowly with him--I'm not putting anyone else down, but if you are just starting out, the idea of 100 or 200 anything can be overwhelming This is a…

I promise myself that I will log everything but then when it happens I don't--so many reasons: shame/ the amount of time it would take to look up and log all that food/ shame/ the fact that I would have to measure everything I'm stuffing in my mouth/ shame.... I get so embarrassed about it and the last thing I want to do…

Will you be going through physical therapy post surgery? That's usually what follows and if so, you can talk to the therapists and let them know that you want to work as hard as you can without hurting yourself and ask for exercises to do at home. Most p/t places are used to people just trying to do as little as…

The elliptical is absolutely better for your joints, regardless of your weight--no actual impact--plus, it gets your upper body involved.

First of all, I agree with all the posters that say your legs don't look terrible. Sometimes what we think we see isn't accurate at all. One way to correct your form when doing squats is to start with a front squat--put a broom stick (or an empty barbell if you have one) across your shoulders (under your chin, but so the…

I did get up and eat something last night--but it wasn't mindless and uncontrolled snacking--I was really hungry and unable to sleep. I had some dried fruit and nuts, ate slowly, then brushed my teeth and went back to bed. I recorded it until today's food. I will count this as half for me, half for LNS for yesterday. It's…
-
It's 10:45PM and I stopped eating just before 9PM--we had a very late dinner--I went over today which is usually the trigger for binging which always happens at night---so this is a great time to have begun this challenge. I am strong and know that I can do this tonight. I'm just going to worry about tonight--no, not…

I have bad knees as well (5 surgeries) but I went did the 30DS and Ripped in 30--and paid for it. I went through the series again, but this time, instead of punishing myself, when it was time to do the things that really weren't good for me, I substitued some of the other ones--the punching or the jumping rope or I jumped…

Me: 1 LNS: 0 Although, much of it had to do with the fact that our family slept in our treehouse last night and I didn't want to get out of my warm sleeping bag and trek across the wet grass....well, whatever works, right?

Contact Polar--you can get a replacement strap--and they have an improved strap--you don't have to machine wash it.

This is my biggest downfall--I can get great workouts in, make excellent choices all day long and then I find every reason in the universe to eat "just that" and "just that" turns into a full-on binge with me promising to "start again the next morning"...if I never gave myself permission to binge with the promise to start…

If you click on the link, there is a well informed article about the nutritional difference between white (refined) and brown rice. http://arp.optimalhealthsystems.com/showeduc.asp?id=7 Another thing to consider is that while so many peoples of the world may be eating white rice, they aren't eating all the other junk.

I use audiobooks-BUT-I get great ones that I can't wait to continue and then I ONLY let myself listen while I'm on my elliptical--makes me want to workout and then I'll go longer so I can hear what comes next--it's the "Just One More Chapter" syndrome.

bump--I am in a similar spot (well, the discouraged part) and this is great info for me to incorporate--I need a plan!

This post is like an answer to a prayer! Thank you for sharing it. I've gotten stuck in the "oh it's soooo hard, poor me" cycle and have used that to excuse myself from the hard work. There are no excuses. So many points resounded for me, but the one clanging the loudest is the idea of settin goals and then determining…

another thing to check (blood test) is your iron levels--if you're anemic, you will feel exhausted!

I agree with the idea of changing over gradually--why give yourself something else to stress about? Change one thing at a time and when you get the hang of it, change 2. Don't worry if you have something processed, just think about all the stuff you haven't eaten. Start with bread maybe or cereal or a vegetable you eat…

I'm with you (as you can tell from my MFP name--and I know, I know I misspelled it!) I listened to the books (before I read them) and when I picked my name, I just guessed at the spelling...bummer.... And in terms of Gale vs. Peeta--I agree that Peeta's movie version wasn't nearly as attractive (in all ways, not just…

Congratulations on making all these positive changes to your life!! I learned to train with weights from my dad who was a stickler for form and learning how to lift properly has made all the difference in the world in terms of preventing injury and getting the best workout for the effort put it. My best advice would be to…

You're going to find yourself borrowing those interchangable weights quite frequently. It's an awesome program-enjoy it!!!

I simply had to respond to this so my friends could follow along--lucky me, I have some...

I've done both individually (and have found them to VERY effective!!!) but right now I'm doing my own version of a Chalene Johnson (Chalean Extreme) and Jillian Michaels (30 Day Shred) hybrid with different cardio workouts and core thrown in. I find it a great mix because the CHX is very slow with heavy weights and the…
