Patecakers

pilates...yoga....zumba....train to tone

When I read the question post my first response (as a massage therapist!) was get a massage! however ice bath is a great idea...do not use heat if they are feeling inflamed since heat only adds fuel to the fire (THIS GOES FOR ANY BODY ACHES!) There is a sore muscle cream you can get at a chiropractic office called…

Your weight fluctuates all day and all night long!!! Just choose a time to weigh yourself on a daily or better yet weekly basis so what is on the scale doesn't drive you crazy...I try to weigh myself twice a week...that's it! You could weigh yourself at 145one minute step off the scale get back on and be at 147! It's crazy…

Tuna Noodle Casserole (try to be healthy with it!) 2 cans Tuna drained 2 lbs of whole wheat pasta (usually calls for wide egg noodles but this works too!) 2 cans of mushroom soup (i use reduced sodium) sprinkle sharp cheddar cheese boil water and make the noodles as directed on bag drain noodles...add tuna and soup to the…

VERY SINGLE and so ready not to be!! lol

I recently have joined and I swore off pop....especially brown pop like pepsi and coke....what helped me stay away from it is the fact that if you have (there was research done on this and it actually works....disgusting but true!) a nasty ring around your bathtub drain just use pepsi or coke with a scouring pad and the…

I'm motivated just logging on to this site....I see all the other people who are just like me....trying to get better and more healthier! My MFP family keeps me motivated and when I have a down day....I think of this....DO I REALLY WANNA GO BACK TO THE WAY I USED TO BE??? the answer is HELL NO! So that too helps to keep me…

You're chasing around a 3 and 4 yr old....trust me that's active!! I walk around alot (living where i do it's the only way to get places without a car) and I do massage therapy (which requires alot of strength) so I put myself as light active....I think you can get by with that...you definitely aren't sedentary!!!!!…

unfortunately there aren't any exercises that target any particular muscles in the mid section...if you have a gym membership check and see if there are any personal trainers on staff...usually they are happy to give you some ideas on where to start and you might find yourself purchasing an hour of their time here and…

absolutely!!!! Rewarding yourself is definitely a good thing when you reach your goals....I plan on getting a massage every 15 pounds I lose!!

remember diet is a 4 letter word!!! an evil 4 letter word because when you "diet" you leave room for failure....this is NOT a diet...it's a lifestyle change and ya gotta keep plugging at it and working on it in order for it to work for you!!! Keep in mind that you have an entire group of members on here that are your…

why thank you!! It actually was an idea shared at a weight watchers meeting by our team leader.....however I moved out of state and well to be honest this site has helped me alot more than WW did!! lol Good luck and here's to a healthier us!

If I'm correct and dear God I think I am they calculate that 500 deficit into your caloric intake amount so the program should already be set for you within that 1200 calorie limit....keep up the good eating and try to move a little more too since that helps speed up the weight loss process!! Dancing and walking have done…

Welcome Emma! This site has helped me in more ways than you can possibly imagine! I've recently joined when I was at my lowest point and the people on here are SO supportive! A little bit of advice that I can give you walking is wonderful..drink lots of water and DANCE...I've lost a little over 5 pounds just from dancing…

I SO gotta try this!! lol

I SUCK at keeping food and exercise journals....this site has been a GODSEND to me....I've lost 5 pounds in 2 weeks and it just keeps giving me more and more motivation! Welcome to the site and feel free to send me a friend request....I'd gladly go on this journey with you!

Any exercise is beneficial!!! I believe belly dancing would definitely help do the trick because you are working your abdominal muscles while you are doing the dance so YES belly dancing is definitely a good thing!!! In fact......I might start it too!! lol

When eating out ask your server to put half of your dinner in a take out container....that way you don't overindulge and you have some extra food for later!!
