I make and freeze chilli, soup, pasta sauce. It can be heated while camping. Kebobs over the fire with chicken and veggies are good. Beef sausages, wraped in bacon, cooked on a skewer over the fire.

I am 51 and have been doing crossfit for 4 months - i think i am addicted. I love the challenge of doing what seemed impossible on the first day.

If some people converted "whining" time into exercise time, they would have enough training to take gold at the olympics

I love almost anything from lululemon. Pricey, but they have great fabrics and styles. Bought my first pair of yoga pants from there in 2008, and 5 years later they are still in good shape, no pilling and no saggy butt or knees

I get brazilians regularly. It might take a few tries to find someone you are comfortable with and who is skilled and fast. Not cheap at $65.00 plus tip, but worth it to me. For your first time you may want to buy Iimla cream from the pharmacy. It is a mild anaesthetic for your skin. - you apply it 30 minutes before the…

Welcome. I hope you find all the support you need here. Everyone has a story of what works and doesn't work for them. When you hear all these ideas, my best advice to you is take what you like and leave the rest. In terms of exercise, I suggest going back to your doctor and seeking clarification. When I was very heavy I…

Sometimes the sweetness of diet pop leads me to crave sweets......fighting the cravings is always a bugger. Give it a try. If the diet drink works for you go for it

Fruit in season, and root veggies are cheap. Such as a bag of apples and a bag of carrots, canned tuna packed in water, canned sardines........ditched the bottled water and drink tap water. Also canned chickpeas are great and cheap. It is actually a lot cheaper to eat real foods that are good for you in favour of hot…

5'2.5 currently 142 highest recorded weight is 234 ( I think) would like to get to 128 . I am 47 years old. Feel free to add me

oh thank god, i thought i was the only imperfect person on here. I try my best to eat good nutritious food, and to exercise daily....I have broken all the same rules...and perhaps a few more. Guess what I am about 95 pounds lighter than I was in 2007. Perhaps some rules are meant to be broken.

Is it my imagination or do some people just reply to a post to be argumentative ?

for me all the spices in the world wont make a difference......the only thing that helps is not overcooking the chicken. I will never order chicken in a restaurant because it is always overcooked. (probably afraid of salmonella) . Experiment with cooking time. a nice juicy piece of chicken does not even resemble a dry…

Sounds like the OP did what was right for him/ her. The OP was sharing an experience, not looking for opinions on whether this was right or wrong in the opinion of others. Whether they chose to donate food to a food bank or throw it out is no ones business. FYI in my town the food bank publishes a list of the foods they…

I have vega one protein ad, perhaps because I just had one and added it to my food for the day

I was in Arizona for several weeks earlier this year and joined a gym for the 6 weeks. The manager said he could give me a free intro to the equipment etc, I just had to make an appointment. The manager was quite rotund and looked like he never used a piece of fitness equipment in his life. I did not take advantage of his…

Thanks for this, I am heading to N'orn Irn in a couple of weeks, and hopefully will catch an episode or 2 . I saw the show a couple of years ago, and it featured a woman who counted and restricted her calories all day and was so hungry by 10.pm she would go out for pie and chips or similar.

Sounds like you had 8 hours of sleep, more than most people who have a ft job, family responsibilities etc. I guess if you are getting more than 6 or 7 hours and you are feeling well, then keep working out.

I don't think the concept of a cheat meal is a great idea. It could be just semantics, but if I know I am going out for a meal or a special event I just eat at a deficit for a few days before and after. For me it makes more sense for large meals with dessert and an adult beverage to be an occasion that I can feel good…

Helo, I have been here for a couple of weeks....... Good luck on your journey - you are welcome to friend me if you want

while i was working I was hitting the gym before 6:00 am, then home to shower and get ready for work etc. When I lived in an apt I would see people skipping (you know with a rope) in the landings in the fire stairs. Could you walk or run outside - nice thing is you can do it anytime, just need good shoes (perhaps a good…

Everyone is different.......I lost 100 pounds by putting the sugar monster to bed. A little chocolate for some can be the same as a little crack cocaine to others. I started allowing myself little treats once in a while after I hit my goal weight, that was back in 2008, I stayed at goal weight for 2 years, then started…

I just started 5k runner. I am only on day 2 so clearly not an expert. I picked it because it was recommended, and I liked the name. The term couch to 5 k turns me off. I am not sitting my fat *kitten* on the couch eating Pringles, actually my *kitten* is no longer fat, I go to the gym daily, play tennis, attend a spinning…

They introduced it at my gym. (Dont ask) i know a few people that tried it, it was expensive, they were always hungry and they lost weight and inches. I didn't hear anyone complain about the taste of the stuff. However after a couple of months each and every person got tired of spending the money, and tired of being…

I am from Oakville Ontario, grew up in Milton

So weird to hear about the curdling, I have used silk, blue diamond, whatever is on sale. Never had a problem with curdling. I am in Canada, not sure if almond milk is different here?

It is my understanding that they are not meant to be consumed whole. I buy them whole and grind enough for a few days, I use coffee grinder as was mentioned. I sprinkle on my oatmeal every morning, or add to a shake. Have done this for about 6 years.

of course you can do whatever you want. However when you are ready to graduate, I would suggest making the time to change clothes and look "put together" when in public, because you never know where you are going to meet a future employer.

There is quite a big difference in nutrition between steel cut, slow cooking oats at home, and buying the kind that Starbucks sells. Kind of like the difference between cooking a chicken at home and ordering chicken nuggets. Just saying

I just say no thanks, offer no explanation, and walk away, and offer sincere birthday wishes or whatever to the person being honoured. I think sometimes providing a reason, such as I am trying to eat healthy, or I am allergic or whatever just opens the door for a discussion....not something I want to engage in.
