The accusation is actually pretty standard, although not usually on drugs. People want to think there is a quick fix for weight loss. It is possible that they are jealous or can't imagine that it you could achieve what you did without some external help. Since you were a user in the past, long past, they are using that as…

I didn't read everything, but I'd like to ask which brand? Depending on the brand of jeans you buy will depend on the sizing. As a matter of fact I saw an article that compared 2 pairs of jeans with the same size tag and the sizing was so different that it was visible in the picture. Reality is there is no standard size…

I hate running or even walking in a park. I find it very boring. Now I try to walk because I work from home. I use Pokemon Go to make it more interesting. Gives me something to do. I personally love, Zumba, lifting weights, pilates and any kind of dancing. I used to jump rope a lot too, but my joints are too old now and no…

See my answer just above. Doctor is good thing, but I offered you some suggestions. It is actually OK to ask, but important to be careful.

I have sciatica now and again. It is very painful and walking actually can be hard too. Talking to a Dr is best, I always suggest that. However, if she has access to a recumbant bike that should work. Here are some tips to alleviate it: 1- Lay down and put your legs up so they are on something at a 90% angle. I would lay…

I can't speak to the calories, but I can tell you that different exercises that you are not used to doing can feel harder. My daughter was a dancer most of her life, We are talking dancing like 2 hours 5 days a week, some days more. No issue with tired, but if she had to run for school or did it on her own, it was hard.…

I people watch everywhere. Its fun, people are interesting. At the gym though, I see others do exercises and think, hmm, wonder if I could do that. Depending on what it is will depend on whether I try on my own or suggest to my trainer. I did feel bad one day for a little boy. I noticed him lifting, obviously just…

I like Hot coffee personally, but I have a Keurig and I get Caramel Drizzle coffee pods online and use Unsweetened almond milk. I love it. I know its not sweet, but once you stop using sugar you do taste the actual Coffee and its great, if you get good coffee.

I am lucky, I don't like cheese, it helps keep calories down a bit. Also choosing Rye bread instead of a roll can help. Have them put Mustard not mayo and not that creamy crap. If you do get a roll, hollow it out. I have seen people do that too. I usually make my own at home. I like the sandwich thins, its enough bread or…

My daughter was vaccinated and received boosters. I also booster again recently before a trip to South Africa. However, when it was time for HPV my duaghter's Doctor did not want her to get it. She has reactions to all her shots, especially DPT, she was even given a special DPT her second time around because of the…

I took my husband and we loved it. But it was funny, he is not used to these movies, so he put his jacket on and said ready to go, during the credits, I was like NO waiting for the scene after the credits. Yes I am the bigger geek, LOL.

I doubt the problem was your running. I can't imagine anyone would care, but the association will notify. It is possible he didn't recognize you? Or maybe he thought your clothing inappropriate? I wouldn't worry about it, an infraction of a rule like that is usually just a phone call or a letter. I live in a Co-op with…

Zumba, Dancing, Circuit training

Kimiuzzell - wow did not know that. It makes sense because water does act as resistance.

Can I still join? and If so I want to be a Soldier of Helms Deep!

Build up your weaknesses until they become your strong points. - Albert Einstein

I have issues with periods and exclamation points. way too final ?????????????? are much more acceptable

My doctor and physical therapist suggested exercises for my bad knees. Building strength around the area does help with the pain. However, you have to make sure you are doing the right exercises. Some of the machines at the gym can actually hurt your knees. Talk to an orthopedist about the best thing to do for your…

People who enjoy it are just happy that they got something out of the workout. It isn't the pain they enjoy (well unless they really like pain, but generally that is a small percentage of people), it is the feeling that the workout was effective. I don't enjoy DOMS, but if I felt like a muscle needed a workout and I get…

This happens to lots of people. Sometimes you need to adjust your plan, sometimes you need to change up your exercise routine. Also take a look at your measuring, maybe you weren't as careful as you thought one week. Weightloss journeys are not a straight line, there will be set backs and adjustments need to be made at…

Supplements are not the best way to get your vitamins. Actually for men taking supplements has been linked to higher risk of prostate cancer. Yet we continue to take them. Sheldon said it on Big Bang Theory "all those will give you is expensive pee" and its true. Most of the time the supplements we take just leave…

I saw some interesting research too. It says that being a naturally fidgety person also help counteract being sedentary a bit. You know that toe tapping, switching positions, etc. That's me for sure. I also do a few other things: 1- Walk to see someone instead of Email or IM 2- Stand on the train 3- Stand when we are out…

I personally can't limit myself that much and say "I can't have" it just doesn't work for me. Right now I am doing nutrisystem and while it balanced and generally healthy. It is still prepackaged and loaded with salt. Eating too many Whole Foods will not make you lose weight. Food that is organic isn't always good for…

There is a combination of things that cause that. 1- Jealousy, some people are not happy you look that good. They wish they could do it so they want you to stop. These are usually the same people sabotaging your effort or commenting on it. 2- The one who wanted it to be an easy fix, this is the person who wants the "magic…

definitely the gas thing today.

Start with walking. Not only that you can get the kid outside before the weather changes and take him for walks in the carriage. Stretching is always good too. Generally speaking it takes the body 6 weeks to heal. So starting with walking now and then after 6 weeks finding a workout is the best way to go. FYI, I lost all…

It takes time to get past it, but it is a just one tool :)

My daughter is now 21, I was a working mom and I worked out. I do not feel I missed anything and she doesn't either. I set an example for her to be her own person and not dependent on any one else. I taught her by example that she is just as important as those around them. That being said, I incorporated her in my exercise…

@adamchalmers - I agree. FDA goes along with much of what comes out of big pharma, but having worked at one. No they are not in bed together at all. There are huge holes in the system. However, the people that work at the companies now must report things if anything is falsified because of what was done in the past.…

Be careful with natural remedies. I am not against them, but there are no regulations on the natural remedies. Herbs can be as harmful as drugs and since they aren't regulated can be even more dangerous since they are not required to be tested properly or report adverse effects. I always Poison mushrooms are natural, but…
