That is almost 6.2 miles per day. Is that really doable. I am not sure the body is designed for that kind of beating. Specifically the knees. I am by no means a runner so maybe this is doable, but I run 3 times per week and only do 2 - 3 mile runs and 1 - 6, and much more than that and my knees are killing me!

Over time I have discovered that if I don't log I only eat what I need to maintain.. When I log, I get caught in the I have x calories left; then eating them even though I am not hungry. I know study after study shows people who log do better, but I think I am actually one of the exceptions.

Awesome shop, I finally stopped laughing, but I had to choke on beef jerky first.

I am guessing that is referring to humidity!

I don't know of the choices I would go with TN, I don't believe they have a state income tax, not 100% on that. I know FL and TX have no state income and I think one of those would be my preference. But for god sake whatever you do; get out of Michigan.

I have been at work for 4 hours, talk about boring. Nobody wants to talk with me, or maybe they were smart enough to take vacation. I went through the McDonalds drive through on the way to work and ye old #11, of course I had a panera bread cranberry muffin before I left the house. Oh and I also ate an entire bag of Jack…

I don't make resolutions, I just do!

Let me offer a different view. Most of us dream about winning $636M in the lottery, getting more money to do less, or that our lives were easier in some way. Without challenges, obstacles, troubles, FAILURES, mistakes, problems, dilemmas, and even catastrophes, our lives would be less not more. To achieve anything…

Yes, you need to look at your nutrition... You have to make sure that after workouts you are giving your body the stuff it needs to replenish at the cellular level. It is also a good idea to check with a DR and make sure there is not something else going on. Those symptoms could be diabetes, annemia, etc, etc....

I crossed that one off with a hole in one during the 2003 Club Championship at Macdill AFB. Shotgun started on the 13th hole, (Island Par 3), first swing of the tournament. Had the double eagle in 1999 at NAVAIRSTA Brunswick Me on the 9th hole. Holed out a 3 iron from 215. This makes me wonder why I don't play golf more?

Don't forget to poop!

I would like to zip line across the grand canyon, but don't believe they do that just yet!!

Can't believe no one has suggested pooping yet...LOL It is not physically possible to gain 8 lbs in 3 days. Water weight fluctuations, maybe <--Probably....Also could be that your previous weight with the lost 8 lbs was incorrect. Maybe you were dehydrated when that one occurred. Either way, it is all good; keep pushing…

Milkmaid...

I don't know yet, it depends on what OH gets me. I really want to take on some gymnastics type training (parallettes specifically). So I have asked her for the training course and the actual equipment. Not sure if she will buy both. If she does great, if not I am buying the other. If she buys neither, I am buying both. One…

Bariatric physicians are concerned with moving obese people to where they can move on to other things; like exercise and real world eating. I understand the low carb for those unable to exercise, but at some point you have to do a little exercise and move away from low carb. I started on the low carb, I transitioned off of…

No I did not mean it as a compliment. It was meant to be a different point of view. I really don't understand why people who are perfectly capable of physical activity insist on doing these stupid fad diets. Unless there is some medical reason for it; then why?

Not even sure why your on a diet; you are georgeous. Maybe you feel the need to do a little toning. If so then just do it on a well rounded nutrition plan. I am not sure why people mess with these things.

To do anything effectively you are going to engage your cardio system at some level. QUIT SMOKING! It is not good for you, and quite frankly, it is really expensive habit. You could probably find better things to do with the 50-60 a week you are burning.

I am only going to address the strength training aspect. YOU DO NOT NEED WEIGHT LIFTING EQUIPMENT! You should really master your body weight first. Trust me you can kill it with body weight alone.

With several people. I love group workouts. Quite frankly, doing martial arts its almost impossible to hold your own pads. In addition, I like the group setting for every workout. I find it more motivating to be with friends who actually push each other.

Good God Girl, you don't even look like the same person. Outstanding, now you need to go buy a cape and think up some super powers, because you just earned HERO status from me!

I am not a doctor, I don't even play one on TV. While I would normally say 4 lbs a week is too much; in some cases this is not necessarily true. I watch the biggest loser every year and those folks sometimes go 22 in a week. Understand they are exercising 8 hours a day. But when you have the amount of weight to lose that…

Lobster, and sushi... I don't like either....

Very inspiring! You get hero status for the day!!! Congrats

All has to do with cellular respiration. I don't feel like playing science nerd today. So google it if you are interested.

Depends on your intended results. Aerobic, anarobic??? I do some muay thai every now and again and both are important. If you are only slightly active maybe you don't care about creating ATP efficiently enough to operate without O2 for 30-60 seconds. So depends what you are trying to do.

Wow can't believe all of the steer clear of it's on here. I am not saying the Virgin Diet is great, not saying it is good, or bad. I really don't think you need to buy the books. You certainly do not need their shakes. But cutting out the 7 foods they are talking about for 3 weeks just to make sure you don't have an…

Have to concur with the other posters. Does not really matter which day you chose as long as you always due it at about the same time. So every Monday or every other monday works. I do mine every 2 weeks on Monday. To be honest that is probably to much for my taste. LOL
