  • Hi Helena, Funny that we both posted on the same day to say hi and have surgery scheduled for the same day, I found out yesterday. I get what you mean about hesitations. Last night I started getting really frustrated at everyone no body could do anything right. Luckily hubby knows me better than I know myself and pointed…

  • I think my mother-in-law would really appreciate this.. My husband would literally sit at the table for hours to avoid anything that was not corn, potato's or green beans. He used to tell her when he was 6 he would eat vegetables, when he was 10, then 18.. Then 40. 40 came a few years ago and he ate two bites of salad and…

  • There is a difference just not as big as you want to see. It was the same for me, and being under 5 foot, 20 pounds should make a huge difference it didn't really seem to I exercised but it was mainly walking some cardio. This past month I started working with a trainer, not to get bulky but to get better balance and tone…

  • As accurate as I can make it with a scale that goes down to grams? I'm actually pretty good at that part, but yeah those are my TOTAL calories, one day last week I went to 1600, and I was only 83 kcal under whoo HOO.. I eat when I'm hungry, I don't starve myself, I hate the feeling of being hungry, so when that happens I…

  • Going slowly, and drinking lots of water and using proper nutrition and making sure you have all the nutriants/vitamins required will also help make sure your skin goes back the way you want it too. Most people who you see that look like raisins lost weight REALLY quick with like gastric bypass or something equally quick.

  • Well I'm not 160, more like 180 started at 206, and little shorter 4'11". I am with you, the never exercised thing I agree with. It was scary to be honest, but I finally broke down and demanded my take me to some gyms and he had to talk to people because I was TERRIFIED! I decided on a gym because living in Florida,…

  • Circuit training for me, 45 minutes of circuit training alone is right at 500 calories, then do 30 min on elliptical, or zumba, and POW it is a thousand Kcal gone.. bad part don't start staring at your scales that much activity also builds lean muscle, you need to start measuring to see how big the difference really is. In…

  • I would tell you to look into a local gym, and find a fitness instructor who is certified to work with people with injuries or disabilities. I finally broke down and did it, and am VERY happy I did. I have a knee that historically even with swimming liked to hurt ache then blow up bigger than my thigh for no known reason,…
    in Exercise to lose weight with a foot injury?? Comment by guif August 2013
  • Ok, this is what my nutritionist gave me as a guideline, not hard core science just a good approximation. The longer in the oil the more calories it adds. The lighter the substance the more calories it adds. So if you deep fry red meat, say for country fried steak, it is relatively dense, and cooks quickly so it would be…

  • I don't think your too old, I personally think people make up a lot of abbreviations that are unknown to ANYONE but them! :happy: . There is no shame in finding out definitions to real words, and all these abbreviations are no different. If you don't know ask, or here is my other answer if in doubt look it up!…
