  • I lived in Berlin for 4 yrs before the wall came down.... In the 80's! And all I can say it.... They are wonderful, warm hearted, welcoming people! If I had not moved to the US.... I would have stayed on in Germany! Great local transport, good food, people are helpful... Would be good to learn a few phrases. You will find…

    in Best way to lose weight without sports/running. Comment by suzieqdiva August 2011
  • I recommend - smaller portions if you have no healthy options. Pack some almonds/walnut, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds into Ziploc packs for every day... get some protein power bars & loads of water. The outdoor activities are going to burn the surplus... so do not worry. As long as you have healthy options & exercise..…

  • Tosca Reno has written many books on the concept of clean eating. I am reading her "Your best body now" & she talks a lot about eating healthy, organic wholesome & non-processed foods in small & balanced portions & explains a lot of the concepts in digestible bites. I would recommend checking her books out on Amazon, or…

  • Took spinning classes several years ago & yes it is an amazing full body workout & if done 3+ times a week is enough to contribute towards toning & loosing weight. It is both an aerobic & resistance training workout & if you fall in love with it.. is all you need. So go for it & give it a good try & see how you like it:)

  • Hi Hun, 800 cals/day does seem too low.. maybe that's why the binges. Hormones also do play a role.. as any women here will tell you as we all have to fight them every month!!!! Though I have noticed that logging has helped with binges (that is I am more aware.. so will put some almonds when I feel like binging instead of…

I had lower back surgery 7 yrs ago & did not follow any exercise stretching program after... so the tightness in the lower back spread & I was incredibly tight everywhere.

  • The way I see it is that unless I do not commit fully..
