Sportline is my brand. Seems to work well.

Unfortunately there is no way to rush the healing process. I went through it and it took 6 weekst o run again.

LMFAO !!!

Ditto the Steel cut oats and also Quinoa. If you like the Quinoa, may I suggest Farro and also Bobs Red Mill Hull-less Barley. Delicious!

Been doing the early AM workout for months now. Every once in a while I get on a one or two week shift at work where I have to switch to evening workouts. I definitely like the AM better. It feels like a better workout, I feel great when I get into the office and sleep much better than if I workout at night. I don't eat…

NO NO ...no...THE EARTH IS FLAT.

I started this on January 23rd. I turned 50 in October. My original goal was to lose "50 by 50", and as you can see....I had to reformulate my goals! I realized I might be able to do 100 by 50 , but just missed it!

It is all semantics. A pound is a pound now matter what it is, feathers or bowling balls. The question you want to ask is which is larger by volume fat or muscle and the answer is fat. If you have 50 lbs of fat vs 50 lbs of muscle the fat would occupy much more space. Thats why fat people are BIG!

A proper diet is all about balance, and no carbs is definitely not balanced. I wouldn't do it.

for breakfast i suggest whole oats, the old fashioned king never the one-minute varieties. or if you can find it Bob's Red Mill Muesli. (you can order it online search bobs red mill)

Your breakfasts look too light. Try eating more calorie dense things so you're not eating large volumes but getting higher calorie counts. Whole grains especially fit this bill. A relatively small portion of beans, wholegrain rices, Oat Groats or Quinoa (two of my favorites) will give you some good calories.

I never have juiced but a friend swears by it. If you get some good recipes or info I'd appreciate if you share them. Thx.

I wouldn't log it as exercise. Normal walking doesn't elevate the heart rate enough to really account for any significant calorie burn. Just sitting in a chair for 5 hours will burn 250 calories.

The exact chemical reasons aren't fully understood yet, but it has to do with the hormones that regulate sleep, and hunger, that get out of balance. You can google it and read find lots of articles on it.

4-5 litres a day is considered normal when trying to lose weight. On heavy exercise days you need to increase that.

how does the Zevia compare in taste to diet coke or pepsi?

I drink diet soda and use it to stave off hunger pangs if I get them in between meals. It is effective for me and doesn't seem to have impeded my weight loss. Most days I'll have 2 or 3; other days none. As far as whether the artificial sweetener is bad for you I haven't seen any conclusive studies, and I believe the…

Well the Fox News haters (flat earthers, I think) will never even consider any other possibility, but if you actually read the words it does say "research in animals and humans shows that circadian rhythms of eating and sleep are ordinarily synchronized so we do not eat nocturnally. Night eating causes a disruption in…

HRM= Heart Rate Monitor

I'm in Utica NY. The Chobani is actually made about 30 miles from here!! It has grown so fast they can't keep up. Just announced a 450 million $ expansion! In 3 years it went from zero to the #1 yogurt in the country. (Little known yogurt facts!! LOL)

Mango!! Where the hell did u find Mango!>??? I like taking the vanilla non-fat, add a little stevia to sweeten, then cut up strawberries, add blueberries or any fruit you like and put into freezer for 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Its better than ice cream!!

I have been faced with several similar events this summer. Twice I actually lost weight after 2 days of partying! I have found that even when I did go a bit overboard and hopped on the scale the extra few pounds came off within 2-3 days. That's not much of a setback. Your increased metabolism due to your now healthier…

The best option at Mickey D's I have found is the Southwest Salad with grilled chicken with the Southwest dressing. 420 Calories, 15g fat, 41g carbs but 1300 sodium. I know its half the daily intake of sodium but the calories are good and when I absolutely have to eat fast food, I would rather sacrifice the sodium than the…

A scale is more inaccurate the closer you are to its maximum in either direction. So calibrating a scale with a 10 lb weight when it is designed to go up to maybe 300 lbs doesn't really indicate accuracy. It may be much further from an accurate display at 150 lbs than it is at 10. I would use the one that is most…

I like Designer Whey. Best chocolate taste I've found, mixes well with no clumping.

Its past due time for some answers.

I used to do Oatmeal but switched a while ago to a whole grain mix. Try "Uncle Bob's Red Mill" Muesli. Its is a mix of 5 different whole grains plus some other goodies and it is WAY better than oatmeal. They also have a separate 5-grain mix that I buy and I mix with the Muesli. If your local market doesn't carry it you can…

220 minus age then 65% on low end to 85% high end.

Don't order any.....you can have mine! LOL I thought they were terrible. Thought I was eating chopped plastic. I tried putting a can of Low sodium diced tomatoes with them. Seemed to me like I was eating Low Sodium Diced Tomatoes with Shredded Plastic.

Took me two solid weeks of diet & exercise to get the scale moving, but once it did.....
