Italy!

I'd definetely get a mirror that attaches to you helmet so you can see behind you, your son and upcoming traffic. I also recommend a back light that blinks off and on so they see you more, even attach to the back trailer and one on your bike. I think people notice you much more on the road/highway. I always keep my eye out…

LOL good topic... made me smile.

My son to have a good, happy, successful life. To be able to spend one more day with my brother, nonno and nana. That my mama doesn't suffer. To find true, unconditional amore.

I go by the HRM also, but sometimes it is pretty close to what the machine reads.

Forgot to do this yesterday but........... Check in: SW: 238 Week 1: 238 - minus ZIP. Week 2: 234.5 Week 3: 234 a whopping .5 pounds Week 4: Total: 4 It looks like I'm not going to hit 10 unless I lose 6 next week. :(

I personally think Diet Coke is bad all the way around, any soda really. I use to be the queen of DC and have stopped entirely. I drink average 12 glasses of water per day - sometimes more. Once you get into the routine of it, nothing else will do except for water. I highly recommend stopping it, but if you have to have…

I bike up a busy road that is approximately 10 miles and uphill, visibility is limited. Would you suggest biking in the center? It's rather narrow and there are usuallly trucks hauling trailers on this road. I've had some close calls with people who will not give me any room, like they are trying to make a point for me to…

I didn't know he was gone, I only saw it to the part where they were all climbing that huge hill while I was climbing the stair treadmill. I was really proud of him!

Honestly if I could have a dollar for everytime someone has said something I'd be well off. People don't realize how much they can hurt another and how it affects them years later. Even today at 48 I still hear insults and I look the best I have in years.

Kettlebell is great, came from Russia and that is how they trained their athletes (one method at least). It's cardio, core, strength training and squats. You will love it! Be prepared to be quite sore the next couple of days but it's a good pain. I wear gloves when handling the kettlebell, you get quite sweaty and helps…

I have a Polar F6 with chest strap and it's been a good tool.

Hello and welcome! I've been here for a month and it's a good system along with exercise. Feel free to add me for encouragement :) Best of luck!

Hi Lloyd, Like others have said, the worst part is the prep. I've had two because of hx of colon cancer in my family. As soon as I got to the hospital they started an IV of normal saline and felt better instantly. Don't worry about the anesthesia, it is probably Versed which just puts you to sleep (some people actually…

I'm in, still room to join?

Bravo! Thank you for the info and congratulations on your hard work!

I'm so proud of you, congratulations, I know it is a lot of hard work!

Thank you!

But then you would have a post at the end of the day saying you did not stay under your calories allowed, right? Which is bad no? :S

Very good information, how do I "bump" this?

You look great! Congrats, I know it's hard work!

Jello is ok, but you have to be careful of the colour (I think yellow and green are fine, no red). Clear juices like apple. Broth is ok but it has so much sodium. Tea. Gatorade, Powerade. Fruit slushies with juice (no sherbert because it contains milk). Hope this helps.

I BEG TO DIFFER!! SEE MY POST ON THIS SUBJECT. YOU MUST BE A SELLER OF THE PRODUCT.

Isagenix is a waste of money. They do not take into consideration people who exercise extremely hard burning off 1000 to 1200 calories a day. I am in the infamous starvation mode, it has messed up my metabolism and my head because now even though I am following the program, I am up 7.5 pounds in one month. WASTE OF MONEY.…

Thanks for the posts, I am always mixing it up from spinning, road cycling, elliptical, stairs, kettlebells, etc. I do think my muscles are fatigued so I'll try taking today off and see how it goes. I don't mind hurting because it's a "good hurt" but it has been nonrelenting for a few days, but again, I push myself very…

Thanks to my son's friend who is an avid body builder/health nut :) he showed me this article. I am going back to coffee, at least one cup a day because I love it so much. http://www.simplyshredded.com/caffeine-factor-its-the-highly-beloved-most-ingested-drug-in-the-world-for-a-good-reason.html

Is a FitBit like a BodyBugg?

My mother is 2nd generation off the boat from Italy, my grandparents right from Italy in their teens. NOTHING in my house growing up was processed or prepackaged. Our "treat" was 1 box of sugar cereal. Everything else was prepared fresh, from unprocessed food. And they ate some pretty out of the ordinary things. I didn't…
