  • I have been doing you for years, and I swear that when I do it consistently I lose weight. Personally, I don't believe gym yoga - power yoga, whatever - is good for you. Real yoga is a mind/body connection and yes, it is excellent for runners. The breathing, the stretching, the concentration. Yoga will undo the muscle…

  • That's totally my deal, Emma. Those shorts ride up, I do have a skirt with capris - athlete. And I like it. I don't like to wear capris unless its cold, and I prefer shorts/skirt for the treadmill. Aspeakman: never done a skirt chaser!! LOL!! I'm going to look for one!

  • You guys are not the only ones. I have been gaining and losing the same 2 lbs for 6 weeks. These are the 2 lbs that keep me from being under 200. I have no idea why, and i know i really want it bad. I'm not eating "bad" stuff, but if im gonna be really honest, i may be a little loose in the logging department. The other…

  • I have been on and off weight watchers for 25 years. It works if you work it. I have a good friend who was overweight all her life and lost 50 lbs on WW, and kept it off. Personally, I preferred the old program, as I find the points gimmicky and confusing. The only program that works is the one you can stick with. If this…

  • I seem to have broken a 4 week plateau today (fingers crossed it sticks). At the advice of my trainer, I started doing 2 strength training workouts per week of 1/2 each, instead of 1 one-hour one. She says this boosts metabolism. I cut out yogurt and cheese (on the theory that dairy is inflammatory). I kept the milk in my…

  • I manually set mine to 1300, which i lowered from 1400 for the month of march. (trying to meet a goal) . I am 52, and burn less calories than a 25 year old overall. I could NEVER stick to 1200. To be honest, 1300 is next to impossible unless i exercise daily. I have been losing 1 - 1.5 lbs a week. I think a lot of people…

  • I had my kids late. I'm 52, and I have 2 boys - 13 and 9. YES I HAVE A 9 YEAR OLD. I always fought a few pounds, but it went to hell after the second kid. And yes ladies, you can get pregnant the old-fashioned way at 42. I am still getting my period, and i'd love to blame the hormones (which probably have something to do…
