  • I don't think that the warrior diet gives your body time to enter "starvation mode"...24 hours is not long enough for your body to make major long-lasting metabolic changes like that. You're not starving, you're actually intermittent fasting (more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermittent_fasting). This is an eating…

  • thanks for the tips girls! bike riding is something I'll be sure to try. It makes sense that it would feel good because I noticed by stretching my knees into my chest, my low back pain is relieved a bit :smile:

  • thank you for all of your replies; it's been quite interesting to see how people indulge differently :)
    in What does "cheating" mean to you? Comment by fattymcgoo March 2011
  • Wow, that is a fantastic idea that I've never thought of. Cheat day after weigh-in.

  • How about calling it TREAT DAY! nothing negative about treats :laugh:

  • I know what you mean! I think a little treat once a week keeps you more honest than trying to say "NO TREATS EVER"!

  • I have a love-hate relationship with working out in the morning, but I know in my case that I will be so tired by the end of the day that I won't put the same effort into my workout, or worse, I won't work out at all! I like to think of it this way: workout time is "me time" - my time of the day to take care of my body and…

  • I've been doing this set of exercises for a couple of weeks with good results. I like that it offers modification to make it harder or easier for you, and it wouldn't look too weird to do it at the gym :) http://www.womenshealthmag.com/fitness/get-rock-solid-abs I wouldn't work abs every day! give at least one day between…

  • I really loved this post; you took some words out of my mouth. There's a lot of internal conflict when you have disordered eating that only gets augmented by things people say concerning your weight, even if they're telling you that you're too skinny. I also noticed in your signature that you're running (or have run) the…

  • I love setting small goals for myself! They just give you something extra to work towards :) I've found what's best for me is setting rewards that directly relate to losing weight, and that increase in value as I get closer to my ultimate goal, sort of like a rewards ladder. Mine go like this: (starting weight) 5 pounds…

  • I took CLA (2000mg/day) consistently for a few months in 2009. At the time, I was eating around 1200 calories a day, pilates 2x/week and jogging 3x/week, just to give you a bit of background. I did drop some weight (not much) while taking it, and while I wasn't tracking my body fat percentage at the time, I did notice that…

  • There's a brand called O.N.E. that makes coconut water with splashes of fruit juice- pineapple, guava, mango...you might try those if you don't like the taste of it plain! I know Whole Foods carries them. I swear by coconut water; I always drink one half an hour before going for a run, and the potassium boost helps me run…
