Body weight exercise can be as effective as lifting. Just listen to the Dr. and ask about getting a workout routine. Also ask about exercise at physical therapy.

There are certain foods that are total trigger foods for me and my husband just didn't get it. Well that was until he bought Vienna Fingers for himself on a Saturday and then looked for them on Wednesday to find that 3/4 of the package was gone. I was like they are really good. After that he understood that certain foods…

Do. Or do not. There is no try.

My first question would be who brings the kid to school. I mean working parents sometimes have a babysitter that takes the kid to school The parents might not even know the child is eating that way. I think you can do activities with kids about healthy eating, but what you can also do is send a note to all parents that no…

On the sight weight lifting shows as not burning calories. I would check other places on the internet and find out how much you are likely burning and add in your own workout with the calories. I do circuit training which is under cardio, so I track it that way.

The advice I will give on this one is listen to your doctor!!!! I know its hard, but with many of these things they know best. Are you congested? could be allergies with a post nasal drip?

You are not alone and its not easy to do. Even after you do it, it is so easy to slide back. I did. One trick a lot of people do is wrap up 1/2 of the portion before you even start. That would work with burrito bowl, get an extra plate, put the amount you wish to eat on the plate and the rest goes into the refrigerator.…

EVERYONE is different is the most true statement that can be made. 2 people with the same condition, given the same medication can have 2 different results. There is a reason that drug companies try to do large scale studies and comparison. Many of the studies about food and inflammation are not broad enough. The study…

I snack all day. I have standard snacks and meals that have my protein and my carbs, my snacks are the veggies and such. I get hungry often, some days more than others. there are days I will eat a meal and be hungry 30 minutes later, other days, same meal more than enough. So I do a lot of veggie snacks. My average calorie…

I agree, shoes will make a world of difference. I have a wide foot and ended up with foot pain, did some reading and it was because my sneakers were too tight, they didn't feel that tight. I loosened them up and started buying Wide width. So much better now. The good news is once you find the right sneaker for you, mine is…

Yes you will build stamina and it will get easier. I had to stop due to arthritis, but my duaghter would jump rope with me, remember how you could do doubles with one person jumping in, that is what she would do. Between doing it together and how long it took for her to jump in, she could keep me going with 15 seconds rest…

The most you can do is encourage him to get moving and keep junk out of the house. Don't make it about weight, make it about health. limit TV time and video game time, unless he is doing an active video game. Don't put him on a diet, 13yo boys need to eat a lot. Do not limit the amount of food just make sure its all…

I put a towel down and use the wipes they supply after to wipe up any sweat I left behind. Although I usually don't lift after cardio, there are times I do. I just have a towel and put it down. Wipe off the machine after with the wipes they supply to do that.

I am not going to encourage the low calories, but the advantage to exercise is that it can make you hungrier. You will also build muscle which is good. FYI, not healthy, but if you are really struggling with calories throw in something small but high calorie. My daughter has one soda a day just so she won't lose weight…

Here is what I ask people - Was there anything you liked to as a kid that was active? for me it was jumprope and hula hoop, so that is what I used to do. I also like to dance, love music, don't dance well, but love to do it. So I would dance. Now I also take zumba, I am not good, but boy is it fun :) Here are some fun…

I used to think like you, I hated running, but everyone was running so I thought I should try. NOPE still hate it. Even walking for exercise without a destination is boring. I will walk with hubby and check stuff out thats fun, but just walk for a workout, nope. So what I say, find what you enjoy and have fun. Exercise…

When I first wake up on most days, I am starving. If I do not eat it gets worse. The days I am ravenous are usually the day after a really big workout. Monday I am usually hungry because on Sunday I workout and clean the house then monday morning workout again. Because Sunday I am usually extra active, I get extra hungry…

I actually find it funny that eating breakfast helps you lose weight. My daughter and my husband are both very thin and neither one can eat first thing in the morning. When my daughter was little I always made her eat breakfast because time till lunch was way too long and they don't let you eat in between in school.…

I don't have a problem with people who might groan or grunt because they are lifting heavy. I have a problem with people who do it totally for attention. You can tell who they are though. I did get a kick out of the guy taking a selfie of the back of his head while on the treadmill. I guess to prove he was on treadmill…

I am a bit behind on the series, but loving it so far. Going to catch up this weekend. I really like her character, also enjoying the look at the time period and how men expected women to go back to their role prior to the war after being part of the working world or in this case the war.

I have a personal trainer, I love him. We do strength training and he takes me out of my comfort zone into different things. I like that.

I am reading "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman. Its really good.

I am not that familiar with the character in the comics so I have to check it out, but I thought the trailer was kinda cool. I actually wasn't all that interested, but the trailer made me want to see it.

I always kind of liked Clara, but she lacked strength but that is because of the writers. I don't think Moffat can write a strong female character. Mr Pink did add some dimension to her personality. I do like the new doctor though.

I didn't drink for years, just had a club soda. No one thought I was buzz kill. I still had fun. Also there is a lot of fun to be had watching people get drunk. Drunk people are really funny to watch. These days I plan for 2 sweet mixed drinks or just do shots. Most alcohol is lower in calories and I love Patron or good…

Nice, consistency and slowly building up is what works. Great job!!!

Trainers are really good at teaching you the exercises. It can be very helpful for form and to get started. As for the food aspect, I would watch that part, not all trainers are nutritionists and don't always give the best food advice. So just be aware of the calories and what he is expecting. Also if they tweak the food…

Every person with IBS has a different reaction. I have read on the web that people with IBS should not drink peppermint tea, but for me its a life saver. However, Chamomile can make me sick, but its supposed to be great for IBS. On top of IBS, I am lactose intolerant. So cheese was a big one for me, since I am not fond of…

Great job!!! that is the way to do it. Sometimes its OK to have junk, but keeping the portion small is key :)

I use my workout for the anger. Kickbox is my favorite. if you are mad at someone in particular just picture that you are punching them, boy will you get a good workout. What are you doing at the gym? maybe it is your choice of workout that makes you not a fan of working out. Find things you like and do them. Like I said…
