Saucony x 1 Chucks x 3 Merrells x 2 Asics x 1 Yes - I have a bit of a shoe fettish ;-)

YEP - I am a 52 year old woman - 5'9 - and I eat over 2000 calories every day - so up your calories :-) Easy way to do it is add more healthy fats - nuts, nutbutters, salmon, olives, olive oil and full fat anything (not low fat) and also coconut oil, coconut milk, coconut cream ......all ways to get more calories without…

Agree with Pu "On April 8, 2003, at age 72, Dr. Atkins slipped on the ice while walking to work, hitting his head and causing bleeding around his brain. He lost consciousness on the way to the hospital, where he spent two weeks in intensive care. His body deteriorated rapidly and he suffered massive organ failure. During…

This does not give you all the answers - but does give you some pointers to what they look at in Holistic Medicine.... http://www.aucklandholisticcentre.co.nz/Holistic-Medicine-Holistic-Doctor-Auckland/low-energy-is-your-battery-running-on-or-near-empty.html Personally I would look at the first one - Adrenal Fatigue -…

Personally I wish I had found this article a lot earlier in my fat loss journey http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/the-full-diet-break.html

This brought tears to my eyes - I am planning to still be the old lady at the gym well into my older age....

Correct - only mail and friend requests will show direct on MFP - everything else you get an email notification...

Yep - Settings > email preferences...

To get enough calories you need to increase your intake of healthy fats nuts nutbutters salmon olives anything coconut - oil, cream, milk cheese (if you are primal more than paleo) ditch anything that says "low fat" - and use the full fat versions Here are some of my go-to websites http://www.theclothesmakethegirl.com/…

Unfortunately don't know the brand you are taking, but just posted this in another thread: Today I had the following protein: 3 eggs = 240 calories and 21grams of protein 130grams salmon = 452 calories and 26 grams of protein 2 protein shakes = 194 calories and 36 grams of protein - YES - 36grams of protein So based on the…

And OP to your original question Most of the time I use one scoop - with water (easy after gym) or if I need a quick snack at work when working late Sometimes I will add some coconut cream with the water. If I want to use it as a full meal I will make a green smoothie with: Green Tea Baby Spinach Kale Carrot Cucumber…

Not quite sure why you are judging the OP's choice - last time I checked every person on MFP had a right to choose what they eat or drink - without judgement from others!! It is clear you have no idea...... In my diary today (it is open) - you are welcome to try and judge the amount of "real food" I eat.... 3 eggs = 240…

5'9 - and yes - it is a fast walk - I have had a knee replacement, so I am not "allowed" to run..... I can walk up to about 4.8mph before I feel I need to start jogging to keep up.... A "normal" walk for me is 3.5 to 4.0 mph.....

Yep - eating more than you are burning will cause an increase in weight......most prob a combination of water and eating too much...

Very sorry to burst your bubble, but 10mins of weights 2to 3 times a week - it ain't muscle......

OMG - we were not friggin breathing for what felt like ages - it was so tense - but yep - it was epic!! He is so stoked for the fight with dos Santos - training starts in earnest on Monday!! http://www.mmafighting.com/videos/2013/3/12/4093422/the-mma-hour-episode-172-hunt

LOL - come to visit in NZ and I will swing it ;-) He is training here till his fight in May.... I am hoping to take some photo's at one of his training sessions in the next couple of weeks - will give you a shout if we have done it....

I am a big Mark Hunt fan too - well I have to be - he trains at my gym - and my coach is his strength and conditioning coach too ;-)

Yep - decent running shoes - for my walking shoes I got some decent insoles with a high arch support - 100% fixed the problem.... Here is another thread from earlier this week (yes - these things are asked and answered by others ;-) ) with some great suggestions…

When I up my protein my need for "empty" carbs normally drops quite significantly, so I find that I dont really have to worry about the increased protein calories, as I am eating less calorie expensive carbs....

I truly believe it is not whether you look like a fitness enthusiast - but whether you believe you are a fitness enthusiast!! Walk in there as if you own the place - hold your head high and don't let anyone make you feel any different!!

Yep - pretty straight forward ^^^^^^

3b. Blue box squats

Protein, protein, protein - every meal I have I make sure I have enough protein - nothing satiates like protein - and then some cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts.... Since I have started eating more protein my need for "snacks" have gone ...

The guys at my local bike shop really helped me to get my saddle set up "just right" - they would make small changes - I would take it out, come back, and they would make more changes, tilt the saddle slightly, move it a bit forward or back - until it was a lot more comfortable on all my parts.....most probably took about…

Nope - suggest you try and find those success stories - including pictures showing their awesome results - sorry to burst your bubble - they do not exist!

Yep - now next you should try and find "success stories" where people ate 1200 or less - and are proud to post their results(including pictures) spent an interesting hour the other day trying to find some :-)

A bit more work, but if you like quinoa and kale - this is so scrummy http://yummysupper.blogspot.co.nz/2012/09/quinoa-kale-patties.html

I am the blonde with the bottle of tequila - and if there is a band - they are most probably coming home with me (or at least the bass guitar player or lead singer!!) If there is no tequila Jack Daniels (my friend Black Jack) will do ;-)
