It's not a matter of being open-minded. It's a matter of science and proven methods for losing weight safely. There are many, many people on this sight that have lost weight successfully without using any special methods other than eating in a defecit. Isagenix, like any replacement meal will allow you to lose weight as…

@PastorVincent You never disappoint.

Good question. I didn't ask. @MelanieCN77 She didn't make medical claims but answered "As a PT"...which made it sound like she was speaking as an expert.

My first question would be what does your doctor think of your plan? With your physical limitations, I would highly recommend you find a personal trainer that has a solid background in kinesiology or PT. A good trainer will work with your doctor to ensure you are following a plan that is safe and productive for you. As far…

As most of you know, I am a newbie to running. I am also an analyst and so I study everything I become interested in. I have discovered that my easy runs are probably not as easy as they should be. My heart rate is regularly above where it should be for those runs. So...with that being said, I am also researching wearables…

@SwannySez I watched Breakfast on Pluto after seeing your post because I love Cillian Murphy. I really liked it.

I had to look up hasselback but I only find a recipe for potatoes. Both stuffed and hasselback would be very high in calories but the hasselback potatoes do look amazing. Personally, I would pound out some chicken breasts and stuff it with the ricotta and spinach, cover the chicken rolls in italian spices, put one small…

I was thinking he wanted max training heart rate. My mistake.

Yes, that is how you log your exercise. Be sure you have the negative calories enabled in MFP. When you log exercise into MFP, the FitBit calories earned will automatically adjust so that you are not getting double calories. It looks odd at first when you see that the FitBit calories are in a negative but you get used to…

Assuming your doctor agrees you are physically able to begin working out, I would start with body weight exercises. YouTube has tons of at-home workouts you can do without any weights at all. When you begin to build confidence and strength gradually add weight to your workouts. Yoga could help you with flexibility, balance…

Many coaches, trainers and athletes rely on this method for determining max heart rate. https://philmaffetone.com/180-formula/ Edit: This link is for max training heart rate, not actual max heart rate. Sorry for the confusion.

If you are eating below 1200 calories, you are not following a healthy eating plan. 1200 calories is the minimum a woman should eat to have proper nutrition and prevent medical issues. If you regularly eat below 1200 calories, my recommendation is seeking medical help because it isn't healthy. MFP will not support a…

Except on Jason Momoa. He can man bun all he wants.

That’s not how any of this works.

I like to do tuna mixed with avocado instead of mayo on a toasted English muffin. It's tasty, quick and keeps me full longer than other lunch foods.

That is hands down the worst race I have seen yet. [/quote] My favorite part is that the winner gets a gift card to Denny's for $9.09! Sign me up!!! LOL

The Fitness Marshal is a fun option if you want free workouts you can do at home. No special equipment needed; you just dance. Also, Fitness Blender is another great at-home workout option. One good thing about Fitness Blender is that you can narrow your workout search by length, difficulty, type, and even equipment needed.

I am at 1500 and have an open diary.

Running shoes are a very personal choice. My favorite are Brooks. I highly recommend going to a running store and being professionally evaluated rather than purchase based on someone elses preferences. A professional fitting will involve evaluation your personal pronation, gait, and take into consideration any other…

Question for all...has anyone figured out how to communicate with team members within the RTE application? I had someone join my team but I have no idea who she is, how she found me, or how to say "hey, thanks for joining".

Another thought about affording YMCA... If you have Blue Cross/Blue Shield insurance, chances are you also have a benefit called Blue365. One of the benefits of Blue365 is being able to pay one price for access to multiple participating gyms. There are some YMCAs that participate. Blue365 also offers discounts on multiple…

Haggus and scotch eggs

I like IP meat better than crock pot. A roast made in the IP is tender and juicy but in a crock pot it is sort of mushy.

Chicken vegetable soup

They are completely different than a slow cooker although they do have a slow cooker funtion. I can make fall off the bone ribs in an hour, fork tender pot roast in 45 minutes, homemade yogurt, dried beans with no need to soak, bulk amounts of tender and juicy chicken breast for food prep in 30 minutes, beef stew in less…

I took my first running steps on October 21, 2018. I ran my first mile nonstop on December 2. I’m regularly running 2 miles now but had another first today. I did my one hour boot camp class at the gym with my husband at 9:30 am. I decided to run home. We live 2 miles from the gym. I ended up walking a small part where…

My team is 2019 Run For Your Life. I have room!

What are the benefits of using the Strava application?
