I love making jerky, but for a quick recipe, I use ground beef, turkey or chicken. Get jerky seasoning (I order mine from Cabelas only because it has the salt and seasoning mixes separate), mix into your meat accordingly and let sit for a couple of hours. Bring out, roll into little balls, flatten and place on dehydrator.…

Wow....Here is something you need to hear: You are a creator of life. A woman who is cherished, loved and held in high esteem by your Creator. You are built different than other woman, because He loves you and knows your greatest potential. Know this and look at how your boyfriend is treating you. Does he treat you with…

A couple of things: 1) Pick-up your calorie intake. If you eat less than you should your body will store what it can as fat as a precaution. 2) Weigh yourself at the same time and in the same outfit....this way there isn't a weight differential due to clothing. 3) Muscle weighs more than fat. 4) Don't weigh daily as it can…

I have the FT 4, and only wet it when I put it on. Once it's on it reads until you take it off, or it falls off (forgot to adjust the strap :laugh: )

47 here and still trying. Had 2 knee surgeries back to back last year beginning in July and then again in August.....talk about a major hiccup. :ohwell: Just remember, we need hiccups to keep us going.

I say go for it....Cut your hair to your attitude and personality and see what a difference it makes. Congratulations on your loss... :happy: :flowerforyou:

It is never about the job...it's about YOU. It's about you wanting to make your life better by making a career change/location. It's about you wanting to improve yourself and make yourself happy. Never should it be about someone else, someplace else or anything else. Turn the frustration into positives.....set an example…

I am right there with you. I was down 10 pounds 2 weeks ago then got bad news I was one of the casualties of this economic downturn. With that, I had to let my trainer go, cram in all my doctors appointments in before insurance ran out; meet with money guy to get finances lined up for roll-overs, line-up interviews plus…

I would get a physical first off to make sure something isn't going a little caddiewompus....have them check your mineral and hormone levels.

Hip Raises w/squeezes, donkey kicks, leg lifts, side leg lifts. Find a bench, stand on the end of it and swing your legs over it. Good luck.

Try making tea with the bottled water and see if that changes anything. If it starts up, I would think it would be the tea.

Club Salad with Monterey cheddar, no lettus, extra spinach, cucumbers, tomatoes, green peppers, heavy olives, heavy pickles, salt & pepper, oil and vinegar. Gives me the right balance of protein while getting my veggies in. Just had one today.

Base Gym.....my home.....the Y. I work on base and it's easy to get to at lunch. I have a gym room in my house with dumbbells, fitness balls, elastics, a bench, work out DVDs and a medium screen TV. The Y is used on those days I can't get to the base gym and need more than what I have at the house....not only that they…

I'm actually getting some YAY!!!.... it only took 46 years. :laugh: In all seriousness, I've known ladies to drop a few sizes due to the tightness and fat loss. In my case, my muscles tightened up and it actually looks like I have some. I'm sorta flat by nature...so this is a big YAY for me. :laugh:

Anything with a cake like texture..... I love cakes and the feeling of biting into a piece....YUM. Unfortunately, I can't have just one piece.

Yum...minus the peanut butter.

I'm all about the minis. I don't deprive myself....I've learned when I do deprive, I go crazy when allow myself to indulge. So mini candies are my thing....yesterday after a hard workout, I was craving peppermint patties...thank heavens our Lead Secretary had mini patties.....got my craving fix and no denial. SO devine...…

I don't see any reason to deny him....if you start off with YOU CAN'T HAVE then the whole mentality of weight loss is hampered. Approach it with an "I love you as much as you love these. Since we are in this together, I want you to enjoy this, take your weight and use this as your base weight" and then we will approach the…

One goal at a time: Climing a 14er this year without knees aching so much.

Never give up. Trials are placed before us to make us stronger...each one different and harder than the previous. Each one different in time, yet each one of them passed. With each one, we are able to look back and say, "I remember how hard that was", "I remember how I got thru that", " I REMEMBER....!" With that, you…

I live in Albuquerque, and mine charges $47 ph since she travels 30 miles to work with me, $10 to attend her weekend classes. I work with her at least 1x a week, but she provides me home workouts and monitors my diet so I can maximize weight loss. For suggestions....interview your trainers: 1) What certifications to they…

In all honesty, that looks awesome. Some modifications, but I like it. Regarding running backwards....it actually increases the heartrate since your body isn't accustomed to going backwards, so it takes a little effort, but for starters, try walking backwards at a slower pace until you can get into a small jog. I also tend…

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :sad: (laughing too hard it hurts).

Do body weight training to start with; use your body weight to work with you for starters. Remember to feel the muscle you are working....if you don't you are doing it wrong. Triceps: Find a chair or a bench, sit on it, place arms beside you, legs in front bent at a 90d angle. Move forward off the chair and dip, using your…

I eat what I pretty much want as long as I can keep it within my limitations but I make sure I get my exercise in even if I have to drag myself to the gym or around the block. Yesterday I had a stuffed sopaipilla w/carne adovado for dinner, and a plain one with honey for dessert and still kept it under. Today is a rest day…

I have arthritis in both knees and a patella that doesn't sit in the right place...talk about bad knees. I have found that Aleve before working out to keep the swelling down and minimizes pain (mine is destined to stay), I wrap the right one (w/floating knee cap) on days that it hurts. You can do sitting leg lefts with…

Proper form....each machine and exercise has proper form. Type of exercises that you can do with each weight item....such as dumbbells, squat machines, pull up machines/bars. Ask for any modifications to some of these, so you don't get into the mindset that it has to be done that particular way all the time. Ask how to…

You also need to set your HRM to your info. The booklet gives you the instructions to do so.

I'm 46, 5'6 and in perimenopause (yes this will affect your weight loss and fat distribution) SW: 185 CW: 173 GW: 145 to 135 1200 Calories Workout: 5-6 dw I lose an average 1.5 to 2lbs per week. I alternate workout cycles....Cardio, strength etc. My cheat day is Saturday (1500-1600 calorie limit) and rest on Sunday. On…

Save some money and buy resistance loops (they come in multiple tensions), place above the knees and squat with no weights. Keep the resistance, but hold for a 15-count. Relax and repeat. Modification: lay on your back, place resistance loops around your legs above your knees, lift knees (like your doing crunches), keep…
