Weight training can be AWESOME foreplay!!!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: (you kids are nuts!!!):laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Good for you Nanci...Welcome & Good Luck!!! :drinker: (Glanbrook ON at least until July)

Aww Banks...and Mrs. Banks...I truly feel your pain... About 2 years ago I got bored with my Bowflex routines and decided to "shake it up" with some Winsor Pilates (I have the tapes and have done 10 week stints before). After the 3 day of Pilates I awoke on the 4th day in the most incredible pain of my life and thus it…

My P/T Lifestyle Coach says the same Jax...my goal is for 30g Protein per meal...what I dont get there I need to try and include in my snacks (3 meals, 3 snacks....eat every 2.5-3.5 hours) and yesss its hard to imagine but protein does curb hunger. I am working out pretty hard (for me) and as he predicted I may gain a few…

I'm really glad that you are including 3 days of weights Banks...I think you will get where you are going alot faster and you will maintain your goal weight alot easier! Good Luck..sounds like a great plan! My P/T has me on 3 days resistance weight training including core and two days cardio. Every exercise is taken to…

I take the GNC Women's Mega's and as long as I take them immediately after eating, I don't have any problems. I think you need to compare all the vitamins you have tried so far and identify the common ingredients to see exactly what it is that is making you nauseous. It might be that you may have to buy your vits…

3 days a week, 30 minutes high intensity resistance including 5 minute warmup on Treadmill & 4 *specific stretches after 2 days a week Treadmill ~ 25 minutes Low Intensity (pushing myself but something I can sustain for 10 minutes +) plus 5 minutes Moderate Intensity (pushing hard to get 5 minutes). First parameter to push…

Great ...thanks BlazinEmerald. I hope you didn't get the impression that my opinion constituted anyone making their own minds up...I'm totally not like that. I guess I never saw that one basically because I look for independent studies. After reading through the Aspartame link you provided, its just my opinion that taking…

Respectively and for my own enlightenment BlazinEmerald, would you happen to have a url that supports the use of Aspartame because in all honesty I've never seen one and if I am wrong with what I posted I would like the opportunity to correct myself.

I agree Rebecca but for all accounts and purposes all the literature suggests that Aspartame is addictive and will eventually lead to people drinking more and more "diet pop" and gaining weight while doing it....I know its crazy and I know I sound fanatical with it but just google it and read article after article. I'm not…

Crystal Light contains Aspartame. Aspartame is toxic. This is just ONE of the many articles regarding the dangers of ingesting Aspartame ~ Truthfully, I do not know why these products are still on store shelves. http://www.mercola.com/article/aspartame/dangers.htm Nestle has a similar product derived from Splenda (which is…

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxication Yes...you can literally drink yourself to death with water!:drinker:

What is Hydrogenation? http://www.treelight.com/health/nutrition/PartiallyHydrogenatedOils.html Hydrogenation is the process of heating an oil and passing hydrogen bubbles through it. The fatty acids in the oil then acquire some of the hydrogen, which makes it more dense. If you fully hydrogenate, you create a solid (a…

AMEN Rebecca...Go Natural! We used to eat Kraft Smooth Light which is 25% less fat than the regular. I liked it...BUT...the ingredients list says (in the following order and thats important as we all know that those ingredients at the start of the list is what the product contains more of)... Select Roast…

Noway Kristin...you are entitled to your opinion. I look at this as a sharing of ideas, opinions and information which could benefit us all hopefully. I do not doubt your Mother's ability but I am trying to maximize a weight loss here while at the same time trying to maximize lean muscle development via food and exercise…

In regard to your question Banks...here are the rules I was given ... 3 meals/3 snacks per day. Eat every 2.5 - 3.5 hours. Eat in accordance to an inverted food pyramid with your largest meal at the beginning of the day. 30g of protein per meal. First off begin each day with a glass (or 2) of water at room temperature.…

Ok...I've had the same difficulty..and the deal according to my Coach is to snack on nuts to raise your calories. It is sooo hard to balance your intake of fat/carbs/protein. Unfortunately (sighs...I do LOVE Pizza) eating complex or starchy carbs that late in the day ensures that every bite of that pizza goes directly into…

Ohayyy folks...we are ONLY human... In all honesty, if it's in the house...it will be eaten!:laugh:

Agreed Banks...I'd like also to add that your body usually slows or shuts down somewhat in preparation for sleep...(BMR); throwing in exercise or food close to bedtime just disrupts it and you could be setting yourself up to all sorts of problems such as acid reflux. I've only read a little about individual bio-rthymns and…

I had a rather light breakfast this morning but snacktime is right around the corner :laugh: Dimpflmeier - 7 Grains Bread, 1 slice Maple Leaf - Canadian Back Bacon, 3 slices Naturally More - Natural Peanut Butter, 1 tbps Oranges - Raw, all commercial varieties, 1 small (2-3/8" dia) Coffee - Brewed from grounds, 1 cup (8 fl…

Its already in the recipe section here Vivia http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/11332-nacho-chicken-bake In my case starving = FAT.:laugh: This is really a decadent amount of food for me.

It's only one meal Kimber ... the beauty of this is that with each meal you have another chance at sticking to it ...so don't fret. You have options: 1. Try and identify ways of pulling yourself out of that situation should it arise again and make a healthier choice. 2. Just let yourself do it and make up for it with an…

CONGRATULATIONS!! I really think those are questions you should be asking your doctor...if you are really concerned and can afford to do it, consult a nutritionist who specializes in prenatal nutrition. (Note: I am not doubting anyones intentions here...but I really believe she needs to get this type of advice from a…

Actually yeah it does matter (my opinion & that of many nutritionists). To optimize metabolism and weight loss, the food pyramid should look like an inverted triangle with Breakfast being the largest meal of the day and you can actually eat what you formally ate for dinner at brekky and its still all good. Dinner should be…

Ok...so far I have had the nutritional counseling session with the Lifestyle Coach/Personal Trainer that I recently signed on with. He wants me to eventually eat 2000 cals per day but suggested I start slow and strive for 1200-1500 cals per day. Prior to this I was eating anywhere from 900-1200 cals per day and exercising…
