  • Exactly what she said. Any fitness center will have people who can help you get familiar with the machines and proper form with them and the free weights. There are dozens of $10/mo fitness centers popping up all over the US and they have all the equipment you will need. Golds is also inexpensive....which I really hate…
  • Strength train is where your focus should be. Cardio a couple of days a week but strength train to build up your muscle.
  • If you eat a true vegan lifestyle that is plants, grains, legumes, and fruits you will not lack in protein and can forgo even drinking a protein drink.....you have to be specific because you could eat crap junk food all day and still be a vegan. Go for whole plants, grains, legumes, and fruits. Eat a wide variety everyday…
  • Congratulations!!! I hope to join you in onederland here pretty soon. Hasn't been that long since I've been there but I plan on this being the very last time I am ever anywhere near 200 let alone over it. Amazing work!
  • Every single measurement they have managed to come up with over the decades has flaws. Every single person is completely different in shape and their genetics..... I am the same in height and I have a hourglass figure with a naturally large behind. I gain weight evenly and lose weight evenly. Looking at me I do not look…
  • Freshman year of high school in journalism class watching the verdict being read with everyone literally on the table tops or on the edge of their seats.
  • I think you need better friends if they're forcing their views upon you. I am not vegan, just a vegetarian myself but I never force my decision upon friends or family.

  • I recommend you see a dietitian for help planning meals that will not trigger your IBS. Also make sure that you're being given the option of medication to control it as well. You must stop "forgetting" to eat because this simply triggers you to consume way more at dinner and your metabolism is wonky because you've…
  • I'm the exact opposite in that I sweat like crazy after only a little bit on the elliptical but it takes a far longer run on the treadmill to get me sweating....however my Body Bug lets me know that I am burning more calories during the time I'm on the elliptical than when I am on the treadmill (and in a shorter amount of…
  • I love oatmeal and being that I am a vegetarian mine is very much a great source of daily protein for me ;0)
  • Recently devoted to being a pescatarian and looking for friends who do the same. My reasons are multiple. I do it for ethical reasons but also for health reasons. I have rheumatoid arthritis and high cholesterol. I refuse to take medications to manage either of these issues because of the side effects of taking those meds…
  • Depends on you as a person. Personally I do much better if I log my food and my workouts but if you are someone that can still hold yourself accountable without logging then by all means do what works best for you! There are times when I pre-log my meals and I find that I stick to my plan better during those times because…
