Well,I thought these forums were a place to ask questions. We aren't all at the same level of fitness education as others. I heard this very thing in the past as well, so when i saw this question asked I was curious too. Certainly when we are looking to reduce our size we don't want to do something that is the opposite of…

Are you laughing at my question or the topic??

Can your waist widen doing side bends on the adjustable hyperextension equipment using just body weight?

I thought of you this morning when I came across this article... http://www.milliondollarbabyfitness.com/blog/the-minds-role-in-training/

I'd love to hear peoples opinion on this too

Anyone else wanna give me some input?

bumping

Thanks so much..that is very clearly stated. ;)

Ok..this is where some of my confusion is..I'm approx 195lbs..so are you saying i should eat 195grams of protein? That's soooo much higher than what I'm eating right now. I believe MFP with the macros i have set are putting my daily protein intake goal as 145g. If thats the case then I am REALLY under on protein and need…

Thank you so much for the positive words of encouragement. :) I guess I have been really overthinking things lately. I want to make sure I am doing all I can to make reaching my goal a reality. I'm serious about loosing weight and am committed to doing what it takes. I'm a work in progress and definitely have made mistakes…

Good music is a must for me wether I'm doing weights or cardio to get through it. The more 'hard' the music( "Android Porn" by Kraddy) the better for lifting weights. For cardio.. songs that help me are, "overcomer' by Mandisa, "invincible" by Hedley, "till I collapse" by Eminem, . When i did the couch to 5k program I…

My favourites are chocolate chip cookie dough, double chocolate chunk, strawberry cheesecake, chocolate brownie, peanut butter supreme, and chocolate peanut butter. In my area you can buy a box of 12 for $33.oo.

This link explains things pretty clearly and is in my opinion one of the best ways to find the best protein bar for your needs. Definitely worth the read. http://www.leanitup.com/review-the-protein-bar-power-rankings-30-popular-bars-torn-apart-and-ranked/

I do this too! I'm in my own world and time flys by so quickly too. ;)

Love doing jumping rope intervals! Gets you heart rate up in no time and a good sweat. Since i started doing them I haven't been able to get myself back on the boring cardio machines. Love this form of cardio.

Totally feel your pain on this one. It is so frustrating when you loose the weight and then can't find clothing that fits you just right. I experienced that all the time. Too small for plus size but just a touch to big for 'regular' sizes. One suggestion..when buying pants/jeans look for ones that have stretch in them.…

OMG this sounds so yummy! Thanks for sharing it.

One of our favourite ways to eat tilapia, mahi mahi is in a bowl add 1tsp of olive oil, oregano, lemon zest, a little lemon juice, salt &pepper, parsley. Sit your fish in it to marinate a short while. Then when done marinating place the fish in a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Season some panko bread crumbs and…

I have a little book I carry with me around the gym in which I record all my exercises, how many sets, reps and weight I lift on that particular day. The next week I typically look back at how much weight I've lifted the previous week and determine if I am capable of lifting heavier, repeating those same exercises. I…

I eat oatmeal every morning along with my egg whites and I find it very satisfying and filling. I've also tried ezikeal bread and don't find it nearly as satisfying as my oatmeal. The slices are very small and don't really fill me up. Just my experience. Nutritionally I'm not sure which is better, I'm just going by my…

That's why I prefer to workout by myself. ;) I don't want to worry about anyone else but me. That being said I do have a friend at my gym who is a 'talker'. She is a really nice person and I do enjoy talking with her but just not during my workouts. She will often come up beside me while on the treadmill and start…

I totally agree, you need to do your research first. I believe I have..firstly my girlfriend has used this naturopath off and on for 10yrs. This naturopath has taken 6yrs of pre med studies in university where the recommendation is 3yrs,followed by 4yrs of basic medical and clinical sciences, naturopathic principles and…

I honestly don't see a need for you to be challenging her response to my post. Just like you, she has an opinion. I get it, you don't like naturopaths and you think they are a waste of money and time. Please lets all be kind to each other. Everyone has different experiences and opinions. Thank you for yours, but please…

I have several friends who have also used naturopaths with success. In the end one of two things will happen in my opinion..1. I'll have a reduction in pain and avoid further surgery at this time or 2. I'l be out a few hundred dollars and will be searching for other options. I'm willing to take that risk. I'm going to give…

I've not the type of person to believe that I can loose weight doing crazy stuff like taking pills etc.. I've lost my weight thus far with hard work and eating right. I do enjoy the heat of the sauna. My joints feel so much better afterwards. I was honestly just curious if something was proven with saunas that i hadn't…

My question about the infrared sauna was just an innocent question. I really was doubtful of it's effectiveness but I was curious to hear if anyone had tried it before. I don't watch the biggest loser and only saw info on the sauna on a tv program.

The detox that was recommended to me was basically made of three components..You add 30drops of each to a litre of water and sip throughout the day slowly. It isn't like a colon cleanse. It's suppose to target specific organs. It's the detox kit by heel. It not suppose to create multiple bowel movements etc... I am eating…

Believe me I'm not one to reach for the naturopath easily..I have have doubts of their effectiveness..BUT unless you can suggest another type of therapy or treatment that is going to help keep my endometriosis from worsening and keeping me out of surgery then I feel this advise is not helpful. I'm not trying to be rude but…
