WorkOutWorld (WOW) is running a special $5 a month. If you don't have a WOW close to where you live, maybe you have a park close by that has a track to walk and/or run. There are exercises that can be done at home with weights and resistance bands that will not make you a noisy neighbor. Another idea is to join the YMCA…

"Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight"

Hi, If you are going to a BBQ on Memorial Day, can you offer to bring a salad for everyone to enjoy? Salads usually go over well at a BBQ. You can make a tossed salad with lots of your favorite vegetables or a fruit salad. That way you will have a choice that is within your eating plan. The Holiday Week-end is a tough one.…

Hi All, It has been a rainy Tuesday here, but it looks like the sky is clearing. I am hoping for better weather tomorrow. This past week-end was fun, but I didn't lose any weight. I am hoping to lose just a couple of pounds more before Memorial Day. Take care!

Hi Kathy, FitTraxx at Gold's Gym appears to be like UFX at the gym that I go to, New York Sports Club. I looked at the web site and noticed that it is in Middletown, New York. I wanted to see if it was Middletown, NY because there are so many states with a town named Middletown. FYI, I was born in Middletown, New York, but…

Hello All, Started my Tuesday at 4:30 am with the alarm clock, got dressed, and went to the gym for a brisk walk on the treadmill. After that, I showered, got dressed, and drove to the office. I bring my breakfast and lunch with me so that it is a more healthy choice of food. At 12:15 pm, I left my desk for a lunch-time…

What you eat is a personal choice. The important thing is to eat the number of calories within your goal. This site is good for figuring out that goal. Two things that have helped me are: 1) Log-in with everything eaten (this helps me keep within my calorie goal each day) 2) Exercise every day (this allows me to eat more…

Happy Monday everyone! Yes, it is more challenging to lose weight at 50+. After watching the video of the wounded veteran, I believe anything is possible. Logging my food and exercise every day helps to keep me on track as well as challenging exercises like circuit training. Reading everyone's posts is a real inspiration…

Hello! I would love to join this fabulous over fifty group! My goal is to lose some more weight and then to maintain. May is a good month because we all know the warmer weather will arrive soon and it will be so nice to fit into those great summer outfits!

Has anyone read "Lose The Wheat Lose The Weight" by William Davis, MD According to this book, modern wheat has been changed so that it stimulates appetite and causes us to become overweight and obese as well as many ailments. You can read about it on this blog: http://www.wheatbellyblog.com/

Hi Classyandra, I can answer your question about smaller ladies that may have a harder time losing weight. The answer is 'yes' and I know this from years of experience of trying to control my weight. I am 5'1" and my BMR is just over one thousand calories per day. That doesn't give me many more calories to eat without…

My height is 5'1" My current weight is 126 lbs. My goal weight is 120 lbs. I eat ~1300 - 1400 calories per day I exercise ~ 500 - 600 calories per day My average weight loss is ~ 1/2 lb./week

Sounds yummy....can't wait to try it!

What are LONG JUMPS?

Some suggestions: Change your exercise routine such as doing different cardio exercises and adding interval training. Another change in your exercise routine is to work with a personal trainer for individual advice. Also, in my opinion, diet counts for 90% of weight-loss results. Don't eat too few calories because your…

FYI, whenever I increase my calories in, I gain weight. So, whenever I hit a plateau, I increase my exercising, both cardio and weights (calories out).

Wegman's has Brown Rice Sushi. I just looked up Wegman's Sushi - Brown Rice California Roll, 8 pieces = 180 Calories.:smile:

suggestion: munch on some baby carrots during your daughter's ball game, then you won't be ravenous after the game.

Thank you for this great information! Can you please give the name of the book and the author?

In my opinion, it is not how a person looks that matters, but how well they can lead a work-out session. Some people can be fit and not look like you would expect because of genetics, age, body-type, etc. There is one trainer at the gym that I go to who looks fantastic (probably because of genetics), but to be honest does…

Congratulations! Keep up the good work and your belly will eventually give in to diet and exercise.

What is HIIT?

Walking and/or running are the best exercises to trim belly and thighs.:happy:

Hi, My experience is to consume 1200 calories per day no matter how many calories burned for the day (usually 300 or so). This helps me to lose about 1-1/2 to 2 pounds per week. I have often read that if one consumes less than 1200 calories per day, the body goes into starvation mode and then it is more difficult to lose…

Count me in to lose the last 10 pounds by July 4th!:glasses:

I'm in! This will be my first challenge.:smile:
