Thank you zichab! Does everyone have dvds or are they streaming these walks. I do have Apple Fitness. I still have Leslies old walk away the pounds 3 mile walk. I found an external dvd player for $1 at the Amazon returns Binz shop to hook the laptop we have hooked up to the living room tv so I can walk inside.

Yes I turned 45 in November and i was unemployed and even more sedentary for 6 months. It destroyed my strength and I'm sure I've lost some muscle. I started doing squats and resistance bands/bar training last week. I have a kettlebell coming tomorrow that adjusts from 5 to 25 lbs. I do what I can on upper body but a lot…

Yes I don't take it for fully accurate. Especially the deep sleep and the HRV. But I know for a fact my REM cycles do line up because when I wake up from weird and crazy dreams the times line up perfectly. And my red blotches of waking up or going to the restroom have lined up. But I don't trust the calculations on REM and…

Depends on the amount in the multivitamin. My methylated B vitamins has some Magnesium. I've been taking 58 mg in the morning with that vitamin and then 540mg at night an hour before bed. I haven't had any electrolyte imbalances yet. I think I'll drop to 3 tablets though which would be 405 and see if I have the same…

Yes! I take 540mg of Magnesium Glycinate every night. Between that and my Progesterone I'm out pretty easy. Sometimes I still wake in the night. My deep sleep varies so much even with the same amount of sleep. Heck even when I sleep 9 hours or more I don't always go over 60 minutes of deep sleep. I know the watches aren't…

I need to close my rings too. I nearly did Tuesday but only walked outdoors 20 minutes.

I just started last week with working out again. I live in Arizona and we are looking at 100 degrees this weekend so I think my walk away the pounds dvd is coming out into play. I'm doing bands and some shoulder rehabs for my frozen shoulder so overhead lifts are way out but I'm doing what I can and squats for sure. I…

Awesome! Well done.

I spent a good portion of last year and some this year decluttering the home of stuff. Still feel so far off getting rid of all the stuff I'd like to. I've kinda come to a slow at it but will be jumping back into the pursuit of a more minimalistic home. I've got some toxic friends that I have kinda let go somewhat until…
-
Amazing dedication. Well Done!!! Congrats to you.

Great job!! well done your hard work paid off. It's definitely possibly to reverse especially earlier in but really for many at any time. My dad reversed his diabetes with diet and exercise alone. I'm trying to prevent and get out of prediabetes range again and stay there. I had gone back down to 5.6 from my highest of…

Yes this is true for me. I am not really a picky eater at all. I was raised on fresh raw AND cooked produce so not really any healthy stuff I don't like. As I always say I haven't had a vegetable that I hated. I avoid corn. Just feel it is useless and doesn't really digest too well for me(or anyone in my opinion)but I…
-
How inspiring. I really need to lose 60 lbs(well really more but that will be a good start and pretty much insure I can wean off my bp meds based on past history of weight and bp readings) and intend to do so by my Birthday in Nov.
-
Yes aside from a physical and lab work to rule out thyroid and other metabolic issues such as insulin resistance make the family walks a priority as close to daily as possible. Make sure she is utilizing the P.E. department at school when it resumes in the fall(many schools have other options like weight training which…
-
So much back and forth on this. I eat some to all of mine(I don't always eat them unless hungry because of possibility of inaccuracies with their calculations on my calories burned) based on hunger and losing 2 lbs/week(which is what I'm set at because I have 100+ lbs to lose its healthy) or near there on average. I'd say…
-
It's because rice and pasta expands as cooked people measure dry before cooking. You can measure either but I'd be sure you are consistent with what you track on here. So, for example, if you eat 1 cup cooked don't chose the 1 cup dry measurement on the database which would obviously be more calories than you ate since you…

Not really it's everywhere. And unlikely to make a person stop using it because of its addictiveness until they realize they have a problem(not saying anyone here does but I have family that do). There are actually groups in my state trying to get over their addiction to it. Like AA.…
-
It's not scary for me(but that could be I don't drink or consume it anymore the time I did was in yogurts) but some of my family have massive amounts of Diet soda and struggle with non stop migraines. It runs in our family(my mom and aunts) but I don't drink diet never have and I have had minimal while they are struggle…
-
No I saw it up there after I wrote it. I just think if you aren't liking the taste it could be a time to drop it out. Do what you want. Your body!

I use whey protein some for breakfast because I'm not a morning eater. I've trained myself to have fruit and something small because I was advised to eat with my meds. I have been using it to meet my protein needs. I've been aiming for 90-100 grams. I was lucky to get 60-80 before. I'm lifting along with my cardio to help…
-
LOL Nope I've been taking high doses of pill form from b complex for about a year and my weight didn't move until I started moving more and eating less. ;) B vitamins have a great purpose but I don't think weight loss is one. I have anemia and there's a chance my lack of B vitamins are a cause.
-
fidgety? Yeah if someone is fidgety from ADD and takes adderall or others they may not gain weight. My friends two boys that take that never gain weight. One is so underweight I worry about him. He's turning 11 later this month and is the size of a 6-7 year old and can still fit 5T clothing but pants would be a little…
-
Yep either skipping other meals/fasting. OR bodybuilding but usually they are better at nutrition than that with their high calories. And some people just have great metabolisms or some other disorder that doesn't allow them to gain. My ex was pretty short and probably 110 on a good day he could eat massive amounts of…
-
Yep. Low Vitamin D here too. And added anemia now, from mild to moderate anemia, after being put on Metformin so I have a goal to get off that completely by the end of the year. Maybe sooner. I reduced my dosage to half so I just take my night dose. My fasting is still improving. I'll get my labs done but at home it's…
-
Yay! The 3 times I've had gym memberships both cardio and resistance were a main attraction for my visit. And the previous two I belonged to had some locations with hot tubs. I miss that but still love my Anytime Fitness without it but sure do wish it had hot tub options. I use the circuit machines but would really like to…
-
Down to a couple lbs to go to reach this goal now.
-
I have cheat day but reasonable and rarely that far over. I try to aim for that day to go no more than 2500 calories. Unless I'm near my cycle start I usually have a great loss despite that larger calorie day. I also try to time them for a day I do a good amount of resistance training(lifting pretty heavy) so as many of…
-
Yeah I check before I go if possible. Sometimes it's a random spur of the moment decision and not always possible though. It also helps to plan out the rest of my day accordingly so I can stay on plan. If you mess up that one meal just keep going back on plan at the next one. It will level out and you will get better at…
-
I'd just switch to water. ;) All of those chemical sweeteners are not good for health. They are possible causes of everything from cancer to migraines. I'd avoid it. I've avoided it since 2000 or so. I never liked diet soda and would rather have none than drink that disgusting aftertaste. aspartame is the worst in my…
