I just looked up Mesa, az. In the summer it gets up over 110 degrees, and winter around 20 to 30. If you ride 22 miles a day in that weather, you are really in good shaped...

We have started weighing out our food,,,,big difference, you all should try it, yes it takes a few moments...guess what we have learned, you will never guess how much stuff weighs, never, it is an eye opener. You can use spoons and cups,,nope, weigh your food out, it can be a learning experience . ok, thats my 10 cents…

ok,,thanks

amen............I grew up in the era of bicycles and playing outside, no video games and so on, yes old fashion, but there were no fluffy kids, then again, there were no fast food joints,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,there was phys ed then to.

There are no fat folks, but maybe they are just way fluffy. Now, get rid of fast food, rediscover walking, and if you can a bicycle. Most bikes hang in garages for years, just check it out..

God made the eggs,,,,,,,,,,so there.

Power walking with Leslie Sansone, she is on youtube, 1 mile, 3mile, and 5 mile. I do not lift weights, but do a light tae bo as best I can using Billy Blanks. He has a new one out where you sit in a chair, really interesting. It is called Low Impact Chair Workout.

hi 5 , congrats

yep , drink more water. When I worked in heat all the time , our safety adviser told us to drink a gallon a day and drink a sports drink for electrolyte replacement. We were eating aspirins by the ton and no relief, after we did the water and I drank gatorade at the time, all my headaches stopped...........

You really do not need a scale.....get a measuring tape, place around waist for example, workout for 14 days, no cheating on workouts,,then measure again,,,,,,,,,,Merry Christmas if you lost some inches.........I would guess that a loss of inches could be a sign that pounds fell off, just saying..

Food blues song by Bobby I was waitin' in Rosie's Restaurant When the waiter came up and said what do you want I looked at the menu and it looked so nice Till he said lemme give you some advice. He said spaghetti and potatoes got too much starch Pork chops and sausage are bad for your heart There's hormones in chicken and…

I am not a fan of Fruit Loops myself, but I do love Raisin Brand. Just thought it was interesting as Fruit Loops brings tons of sugar to mind and it does not have that much. It appears when all those brightly colored boxes of cereal with their cartoon characters on the shelf at the store seem to me , to say-" Hurry hurry,…

Just walk across town .........................

I ate the apple whole,,,I messed up the post on the peel...........

Why would one want to weigh everyday? Just check the notches on your belt, they will tell you. lol. I guess checking your weight everyday is like checking your mail everyday, your looking for a new surprise, yes we check the mail everyday too, it is always the same, billsssssssssssssssssssssss....

At 68, I can eat all I want to, and nothing changes, even with exercise of at least 30 to 50 minutes 3 times a week. I guess I could lose 10 lbs of tummy flubber, but hey, if it comes off fine, if it does not, fine. I only weigh 180 lbs at 5'9'', so what the heck. When I got home from Nam, I weighed 140 lbs, so 40 lbs gain…

Not having to go to work anymore and listen to the BS.................... walking when I want to, going where I want to, no bosses, no schedules, and so on. watching the ducks, fish, snakes and so on at the lake walk around area, nature is peaceful.

I guess getting a fit body from a jar is most likely not gonna happen. Fruits, veggies, and so on come from the earth, never saw a pill jar growing on a tree, but some of us need medicines for many reasons that are legitimate.

you can go to a gym or fitness place near you too, they are happy to give you a list of stuff to take and eat.

google potassium please. we need 3700 mgs a day or close to it. My muscle aches have diminished 90 pct due to takiing 3 potassium pills a day, only 99mgs per pill... DO NOT TAKE OR OVER DOSE ON THESE TO GET YOU DAILY NEEDS ON POTASSIUM, IT CAN AFFECT YOUR HEART. Eat potassium rich foods to help . Examples, leafy greens,…

When one does exercise regularly/daily, eats right, post their daily food meals,,,and after 7 days of all this,,2 lbs comes off. Whats up with that??

great post,,lmaorof, no ICU for me,,,,

I am 68, so whats the big deal................do in some tae bo now, somewhat modified to my strength, and walking..you can do this....

Surround yourself with as many positive friends or acquaintances as you can. Sounds like an old positive motivational handbook statement. I was in sales for a 100 years about 200 years ago. No, I did not sell horses and general store equipment ,lol. Ok, thats it.....................

My son went to a one of those commercial workout chain stores I call it and they gave him a diet sheet based on what his needs are and all that body mass index stuff and went over all those machines so he could be Mr. Muscles and so on,,,well he didn't follow the program ( imagine that, it takes effort you know), so maybe…

Hey D45, I'm 68 and I started 3 months ago doing what you call a girl push-up and I do them for warm ups. Now I am up to a grand total of ,,,,wait for it,,,wait,,,, 6 big regular push-ups, not exactly Mr . Hercules yet, but I'm working on it. Now , you are having a difficult time getting going, so here you go:: The wife…

Hey now,, you can do it!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm 68 and do a lite tae bo, a 3 mile walk on you tube with Leslie sansone, and a 2 mile walk outside a few days a week,,and it really makes you feel good and its only 9 months to bathing suit season,,,now get out there and sweat....Tim

go to youtube, look up Leslie Sansone: one mile walk, 2 mile walk,3 mile walk, etc. She only walks with some extra cardio thrown and it works and you do not have to use a gym, works for me....

You never told us that there was a Miss America hiding in there,,,,congrats, you look great....
