when you say on your feet, do you mean Standing still or Walking? I can see how just Standing would kill your feet and legs.. Almost like sitting.. maybe try a brisk walk break even for one Minute ( add 1 or 2 bathroom breaks)... I found that core exercises ( pilates on the floor) or squats etc.. help Balance the stress of…

If you are very overweight or obese take is slowly.. or you will only eventually injure yourself. Plantar, stress fractures etc in the foot etc.... My personal experience and from many others I have talked to. It is ok to walk or do other non-Impact.. Running is stress on the Joints and bones.. can be both benefitical or…

My gym is the most anal retentive place... you have to wipe each thing you touch... if I jump on the treadmill I "should" wipe the side grips off even If just warming up and not even touching them.. in the circuit.. each grip gets wiped off after each use... As I joke I want to hang up signs in the bathroom stating.. "…

Not an expert but been told it has to do with insulin levels spiking after eating a meal mainly loaded in carbs or sugars. So it might be what you are eating. I get the same thing if i eat a huge carb loaded dinner ( holidays etc) i usually wake up starving. I dont buy the whole breakfast thing either. Though studies will…

I think a lot depends on what your life style and eating habits were before getting pregnant. Alot of women lose at the beginning due to morning sickness etc... I know by default some women who are regular drinkers will see al weight lose if you are no longer drinking two glasses of red wine at night and then getting the…

My advice, screw the gym before the parks !!!!.. You will be too tired to get up extra early for that and you are on vacation. Sleep in and recover from the heat and walking all day in those parks. I NEVER gained weight while at Disney and we did the meal plan where we were stuffing our faces, eating waaay more than we…

For me it's kinda the same. But i am on the pill, you guys too??I gain at the when i stop my last pill and those two days where nothing happens. Seems like once the flow starts I drop to preperiod weight. Then on last days of ny period extra. During the rest of the month nothing. Seems like the pill is keeping me from…

sounds like breakthrough bleeding which I get rarely while on the pill.. Some hormonal thing. but I would still go to the DR and get it checked out as most gyno problems are easily spotted early on. could be due to weight loss, a different pill may be better. Breakthrough bleeding sucks.. I have noticed it happens when…

I meant no shame in walking.

If you can run/jog non-stop for over 30 minutes you should be ok. You sound already fit from your other workouts. Are you very overweight??? If you are not or only a little overweight you have even better cards. If you were obese and fight to run 3 miles, i'd say no. But i have noticed thin people can push their bodies…

Wow thanks for this post. On my way home now and was pondering what to eat and if I should cheat as its Friday. Well, just lost my appetite. No mood to cheat now

since starting this journey I have cut or limited nuts. Yes, I know they are healthy, but too many calories for what you are getting. I can easy down a cup of almonds within mintues. I one of those people that can eat peanuts by the handful. I have no self control- especially with nutsl. If I was able to count out 24…

Sorry for double post, finger slipped? Wanted o add and who eats 2 tsps? Excately my point. I love muesli and granola. Even plain oatmeal has a heavy calorie load. Might as well be eating peanut butter by the spoonful!

IMO it's a educated guess. These calculators are estimates using averages. Start with one and re-evaluate after a month. One thing i did was log a few test days of food i ate before It was around 3000 on some days. If you just started, do a few test log days on your former diet. Take that amount and reduce.

Have you ever done yoga? Google crow pose, do that and hold for 10 seconds. Is it muscle or the power or "om"??

Just googled. Guess canned tomatoes are evil :)

I would think in summer, fresh tomatoes would be good too. Dice add some broth and stew. Isnt there something in canned tomatoes that makes them heathier than fresh. Or some added thing. Could be wrong.

^^^this^^^ is honestly part of the reason why I am overweight. I work out, eat 90% good stuff and endulge rarely like everyone should. BUT, when I look at what i would eat at breakfast, it's insane. I knew granola, muesli wasn't on the light side of calories. The thing is when I actually got to weighing portion size I was…

J One more thing. You are already skinny!!!!!! Which means, unfortunately you are burning less then me. Ignore this!! Tried to delete. I am now soo confused i entered your weight and shapesense.com shows a higher burn. I was curiuos what your weight vs. Mine would be. Yours is higher. Strange as the moremweigjt the more…

MFP over estimates vs. if you go by taking average heart rate per workout and use an online calculator. I use shapesense.com. Others give the same figures. Enter age, height,weight and the figures are waaay lower than MFP. I have a HrM and it's frustrating as I realize I have been over estimating my workouts. I am 218 , 39…

Biking on no incline ( flat lands) vs hills or any incline is like night and day. I live in a hilly , low mountain area. I would rather JOG up a looong hill rather than ride a bike up it. Then again my bike sucks. Very heavy.

I only did about 30 minutes. Was doing everything but burpee stuff and my HrM never went over 140 for me. Don't know how I am suppose to get near 1000 Pro: i liked it, guy was not annoying. Simple instructions Con: lots of burpee moves. This is only a problem if you are obese like me. I am 218 and for my size fit. I can do…

Sorry I wasn't clear. What I meant was a lifting program doesn't have to mean heavy weights. But a 5 lb dumbell or body weight, with correct form and many reps will do,the job. I think alot women new to this asume lifting means a bar with 45 lb plates and so they are intimidated. And think lifting means heavy weight and…

This!!^^^ I had read/ heard this so many time!! Especially as we get older. Especially core muscles. Stomach/ back. IMO alot of chirospractors would be out of biz if everyone reliously did crunches, planks , back. You dont have to heavy lift so muscles arenpopping out. Light dumbells will do it.

I live in germany ( so i dont know where you would get this). But i recently bought a food accent pump spray. The flavor is soy, ginger and chili. Maybe get a cooking pump spray and lighten soy with water and add spices. Or just add ginger and chili. Nice mix for rice. Or that chili pate at Thai restaurants.

Damn its 1.5 hrs. I work a looong day mondays. Will try this and see how far i get. Will wear my HRM to see how nany cals I really burn. Never heard of these workouts. Thanks!! BTW. I hate burpees and they are there !
