Me too!!!! I'd never had knee pain before - EVER. I've been taking glucosamine & dealing with it, assuming it was because it's different than what I've been use to. I've been doing the Cardio Max & 30 Day Shred. Curious to see what others say also.

3 lb hand weights... you could use a substitue like soup cans or something similar if you wanted (or no weights at all). Tennis shoes & I use a thick towel over my carpet for the floor exercise - just because I sweat alot :)

- everybody has a time crunch. You have to schedule your workouts like you would a doctors appointment & just do it :) I just put this on another post ... Somebody on here introduced me to these websites a few weeks ago - been doing it ever since (and it's FREE) - you test yourself & do the sets recommended for your level…

Somebody on here introduced me to these websites a few weeks ago - been doing it ever since (and it's FREE) - you test yourself & do the sets recommended for your level - It's awesome! I do all three in one session since they work different muscle groups - it takes about a 1/2 hour to do all of them. www.hundredpushups.com…

A doctor recommending bars & shakes as a supplement for food? Doesn't sound right. Go to your regular physician for prescriptions for your medical needs & get his recommendations on diet and diet counseling.

I hate to say this (admit it) - but the achy knees (all joints) go with age :) I take glucosamine (Flexamin) supplements - it takes a couple weeks to see the difference, but they do help alot. You can get them at any drug store. Good luck! -- I just re-read & noticed the part where you said they get hot, etc.... I'd say go…

This is a really good site... whether or not you follow their interval training schedule - it's free & it has some really good articles. http://www.losebellyfatworkout.com/

Honestly... that's putting the burden of your travelling expenses off on your family and friends. Not their problem!!! Enjoy the party & let them enjoy seeing you & saying good bye without any expectations.

Here's an article that specifically addresses that issue. http://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/guide/sore-muscles-keep-exercising As far as the 30 day shred - I stretch 5-10 minutes longer than what they do.

I found this information on www.bmi-calculator.net - alot of info, but it's a great guideline.... Harris Benedict Formula To determine your total daily calorie needs, multiply your BMR by the appropriate activity factor, as follows: If you are sedentary (little or no exercise) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.2 If you are…

I've been off for a while.. thought I'd drop a note about my issues the last couple months & warn people of the potential side effect of antibiotics... 1st I had an abcessed tooth... the dentist prescribed a 10 day prescription of clindamycin... (normal enough) about 5 days into it I started getting pretty bad indigestion…

Thank you... :flowerforyou:

No more watching what I eat - just hard liquor from now on! Sounds soooo good - we get together with some friends about once per month & they count on us to bring a "cocktail of the evening" - this will be the next one :happy:

That is great - congratulations!!! :flowerforyou: Quick question - how do you measure your body fat percentage?

I bumped the mini chicken pot pies under recipes - they are really easy & awesome. If you have a Trader Joe's in you're area.... 1 pkg Spinach & chive pasta - cooked & hot 1 jar alfredo sauce - hot 1 bag cooked shrimp (thawed & tails removed) Toss everything together - shrimp last - it's so easy & you'll feel like a…

1st - He really needs to take care of those medical bills - they will not go away & will keep his credit scores down no matter what else you do. 2nd - you may have to get a parent to co-sign a credit card for now - charge on it & pay it off each month.

I have a trivet with that quote that sits on my counter :happy:

My older sister has been trying to get me to take a vacation with her this summer... (our ideas of vacationing are a little different) I was discussing my reservations with my daughter - she said, "Just go, mom. You could get matching fanny packs and go antique-ing." :ohwell: Must be getting old...

I'm not sure how old your mom is, but I know with my own mother as she gets older there's alot more "wow" factor that seems to come out of her mouth :noway: . You need to graciously call her on it. She probably didn't even realize she hurt your feelings.

OMG - Me too. Somebody must be sending out the "eat like a pig" mojo. Yesterday I wolfed down a bag of those cheddar cheese rice cakes - today, well, I'm just not going to talk about it...

Hi!!! I haven't seen you posting lately - hope all is well. Good to see you again! :flowerforyou: (Or maybe I'm just on when you are not :smile: )

:laugh: Well alrighty then... Time to go buy a new shower head.

Usually Sat. or Sun. (or both) each week. I just don't log. Nothing crazy - it's just nice not to be so anal about every bite I put in my mouth. :ohwell:

The Grilled Chicken Wrap - no sauce - is only about 300 calories - try that next time :flowerforyou:
