How fantastic! It's not about being "great" at something but spending time "doing" things with them. :heart:

I'll state upfront...I didn't bother reading what I believe (without reading) is a lame article. Don't care what their "sources" are. I love running and LOVE doing high intense exercise. I am 43 heading for 44; I am at NOT overweight and have <20% body fat. I will state, however if you are eating fatty foods (non healthy…

I didn't think there was one but now I'm going to have to go listen to this song...I like the lyrics: The song is called "Vanessa" by Kara's Flowers (who is apparently maroon 5) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atBu9t8Qod8

You can write exercise and diary notes on the phone app

Baby carrots and hummus? Make a smoothie from almond milk, strawberries, banana and a 1/2 scoop of protein powder

Bed of mixed greens (straight from my husband's garden) red, yellow or orange bell peppers avocado tomato calamata olives pistachios Yummy! I like other things too...but not usually fruit. Although my friend did make a spinach salad that included diced apple and I did like it.

Definitely go get fit for shoes; they will evaluate your stride, gate, etc. I currently run in two pairs: one for the road and one for the trail. I have a high arch, but a neutral gate Road: Brooks Launch (Love, love, love these) Trail: Brooks Cascadia 7 (these have awesome tread for dirt and leaves off road)

Actually you do have control over how you run, how your foot falls. I am a runner and I am constantly correctly or modifying my stride to make it better, more efficient and have better foot contact. Here's some information on running form from Runner's World http://www.runnersworld.com/gsearch/correct%2Brunning%2Bform

Diet isn't going to tone your body...you need strength training Tough Mudder has three boot camps beginner, intermediate and advanced. You really need to squeeze in exercise; weights at least 3x per week. I know you can do it; I was a grad student and a soccer mom (actually more than that....my son played soccer, tennis,…

Not pricey and doesn't have a taste...it takes on the taste of what you're mixing it with: Hemp protein powder, I buy it at ZNatural foods http://www.znaturalfoods.com/Protein-Powders oh yeah...and you've licked a camel's butt? .....yucky! :sick: :wink:

I'm willing to forgive but there is no longer a relationship b/c there is no longer any trust.

Not happy....I have been on a two week "bench". Saw my doctor 2 weeks ago and she says "hernia" and I cannot do anything (not even walking) until I see a general surgeon....so far I haven't heard anything (hate insurance...waiting for a consult). So my muscle is turning flaccid :( today's weight: 124 (2 lb loss) BB: 28…

Weight loss isn't hard after having your gall bladder removed. I had mine removed at age 35 or 36 and I lost 35 lbs at age 38. So, I'm not sure where the stories are coming from but they're untrue. First and foremost. I don't eat things that hurt my stomach now....ie full fat ice cream, butter, fried foods, foods laden…

Green Smoothie - 1/2 cup of unsweetened almond milk 1-3 cups of greens (mixed greens, kale, spinach, lettuce, bok choy) 1/2 cup of carrots 1 cup of fruit (berries, peaches, mango, mixed fruit) 1 med banana 1 TBSP ground flax seed 1 TBSP raw hemp protein powder (or 1/2 scoop of protein powder) 1/8 tsp cinnamon 1/8 tsp…

Hiking is awesome! We have lots of options around us for hiking. intermediate trails, advanced trails...hike to waterfall trails...LOVE it! Take a backpack and enjoy a day of hiking or just go for an hour or two!

Before breakfast 1 medium cucumber 2 stalks of celery 1 cup of spinach (depending on your juicer you will want to roll them up in a lettuce leaf) 1 carrot - (optional) (juice as listed) Anytime - Sunshine Juice 1 Medium-large apple (quartered) - I use honey crisp or fuji 2 medium carrots 1/2 Red bell pepper 1/2 Orange bell…

It will be the last to come off...but don't give up....it WILL come off. Just persevere. Continue eating at a deficit, do cardio and lots of weight training. You will tone the muscles and the more muscle you have the more calories you burn just existing, so you are going to look better and burn more.

I don't live there any more but Doug Esposito has a great Cross Fit gym in Manassas on Hwy 29

1 cup of homemade chili made with beef tenderloin and lots of veg (mushrooms, onions, peppers, beans, tomatoes) 2 TBSP shredded cheddar on top 1 slice of gluten free oatmeal bread (toasted) w/ a TBSP of homemade cherry preserves (no sugar or fake sugars added)

I would say start with walking and you can even do interval walking.... say warm up 5 minutes at a slower pace 30 seconds a faster pace (you should be breathing hard) 2 minutes nice steady even pace (should be easier to breath) repeat 30 second/2 minute cycle for up to 20 minutes 5 minute cool down at a slower pace Build…

You can also do three larger meals and 2 small snacks 275-325 breakfast 75-120 snack 325-375 lunch 75-120 snack 325-375 Dinner Plan ahead and you can get within the right calories

Um yeah...do not weigh yourself at the end of the day. Your weight can fluctuate by 5 lbs (and more) just from water alone. The best time to weigh yourself is first thing in the morning after going to the bathroom without clothes and this should be done consistently.

Eating out is maybe once per month if someone in our neighborhood "group" is having a birthday or there's something special...otherwise we might go months without eating out. So...when I do eat out? I ENJOY it! I do try to select healthier choices for my entree, but I indulge in a couple of drinks and dessert....my stomach…

Yeah I know it's hard but you are fortunate, you have an independent child. This is a good thing...though I know it hurts your feelings a little. I went through the same thing....:smile: It really is a good thing; it means you did a great job so far. Keep up the great work. He's a well adjusted independent almost 2 year…

Why isn't an arm band an option? I have the same type phone and I buy the universal arm band from WalMart...I will mention I had to sew on some extra Velcro because my arm isn't big enough.... Oh also to note - is that I did see a clip for the same type phone for you pants...I was thinking of getting that for summer to…

Hopefully this is an April Fools b/c cat's are carnivores and if you are for ethical treatment of animals ....you are harming your cat by trying to force vegetables into him. Humans are omnivores, we can eat both...cat's NOT they cannot, they have a short intestine they cannot digest plants and they cannot get the right…

Thanks Mike

K I'm going to ask for suggestions but I think I already know the answer....so I probably have a hernia (level 1/2), no protrusion (checked online between pulled groin and hernia and it's definitely a hernia not a pulled groin - I originally thought I pulled my groin). So...I am very active run 25-30 miles per week…

I guess it depends on how I'm feeling that day/night but I do like Barcardi Rum and Diet Coke Vodka is good as long as the drink isn't too sweet (too sweet and I get a headache and upset stomach) Tequila is always good; preferable Patron Silver

So, let me just ask you one question....do you need a new size of pants and/or shirt? And I mean REALLY....I don't mean can you continue wearing your clothing for a while longer to save money or whatever....I'm saying if you were in front of Clinton Kelly and Stacy London (What Not to Wear) would they say they couldn't see…
