  • I have a scoop of Isopure zero carb protein powder ( I prefer the alpine punch or banana creme flavors) First I put the scoop into a large glass and add a cup of tap water (or room temp bottled water) (and stir the powder with the room temp water. using the room temp water allows the powder to dissolve better. Then I add a…

  • I have rowed many marathons; the trick is to keep it between 20 to 30 strokes per minute, have a towel near by and sip your water every 20 minutes or so. If you have someone to keep the meter running, you can do a quick restroom run too, but I never do. I row alone and at home and have rowed up to 100k a day this way.

  • I recommend rowing /ERGing on a Concept 2 rower if you have a local gym with some. Concept 2 also has a an online logbook, where you can enter what you did every day. Rowing is an excellent all-over workout and way to burn calories while toning your entire body in one action.…

  • Well, when I first started working out again I gained 11 pounds (ex-body-builder so I had muscle memory issues) I told myself I would not step on the scale again until 9/22 but I can wait until 10/1 for sure! =])

  • Seriously. I understand going out and splurging a bit BUT there are choices you can make. Ask for fresh fruit instead of potatoes/hash browns; get Rye bread instead of white or (cheap) "whole wheat", ask for egg beaters or egg whites only, ( or 3 eggs but just one yolk), half a grapefruit, etc. I mean did she force you to…

  • Brown rice or White rice or Wild Rice? me, I love em all but it is said “eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no sugar”, and rice falls under starches if white, you get grains if brown or wild but still in starch category. Remember: Protein contains 4 calories per gram Carbohydrates…

  • If you are in a wheelchair, fret not! You can get exercise and lose weight in a wheelchair. I shattered a leg and broke both ankles and I was in a wheelchair for over a year. I would roll myself to my post office, which is 3 miles each way daily and I lost a lot of weight! I went from size 13 to size 7 pants. Ironically,…
