Just saw your last post......she needs a manners check big time.....a simple halter will not due.....you need to put the fear of god into that mare and check her BIGTIME.....No abuse necessary but she needs a whoopin for that behavior.....she is way too old and way too big (I am assuming) to be acting like that....if she…

I was a trainer for 15 yrs,used a few of his methods but steer more towards Clinton Anderson methods......TBs can be difficult....owned a few that were terrible and a few that were amazing like one of the mares I own now......It sounds as if your mare is obviously lacking forward motiion because she is rearing.....when…

I personally think you need to see a doctor and find out why you are getting cranky.... after a workout, you should feel happier 2.go over your diet with a trainer or nutrition specialist....be sure that…

I have always been a Nike fan because their shoes are amazing....the only bad thing for me is that only certain styles of their shoes fit me just right....I dont like Adidas because for me they stretched out to a whole larger size!! I love Kswiss Tubes and also LOVE LOVE LOVE Asics and Rykas.....have a couple pairs of each…

Welcome....good luck on your journey,MFP is a great tool and there is tons of information here!! Sounds as if all the extra weight is more of an issue than arthritis but if it is either Swimming and stationary biking sound like they would work amazing for you!!

LOL I dont know how much ya weigh.....did ya do the math??

Its a basic breakdown of how much a pound is....when reading a digital scale it makes sense.just an FYI post

Good add!!!Yes it takes the burn of 3500 cals to lose a pound.

I have been bed ridden with a herniated disc since I started MFP and have lost two lbs :)

WOW!!!!! Our stories are sooo much alike!!! You look absolutely amazing....I am really happy for you!!! It takes a strong mind and you have accomplished great feats.....keep it up :)

I have never worked at a fast food joint but I can imagine if I did and wasnt motivated to be healthy how bad that could be....I can offer some advice though!! 1.Pack a lunch (in a good size pack) everyday with fruits,veggies,nuts,lean meats etc anything healthy and think about how good those things are for you and if you…

http://www.foodfacts.com love this site,great info!! I love honey nut cheerios!!!

Dont let shin splints prevent you from being active!!! You can still do pushups and lift some dumbells and things of that sort! Its better than nothing and you will burn more calories building lean muscle! My rules for eating out..... 1.examine the menu for the healthiest items and get it the way you like it...DONT get it…

Nuts/seeds,fruits/vegetables of your choice,homemade muffins with healthy ingredients for breakfast,healthy mac and cheese,hummus,beans/lentils,rice,tortillas,oatmeal,protein powder smoothies,soups,quinoa,eggs.... Look up vegetarian info on the web :)

PS....If you do Zumba be sure to have the proper shoes....aerobic style shoes with a thinner sole instead of running shoes with a thicker sole.....Running shoes are made for going forward whereas aerobic style are for side to side....which you do a ton of! Otherwise you may run into knee soreness....I personally believe…

I did zumba this winter off and on (bought the xbox game) and loved it!! I did it for three weeks religiously and lost weight....I have friends that have also lost weight.....it is a great way to keep movin!!!

Be sure that you are fueling clean....no processed foods,no fast foods,no sweets etc......What you eat is over 70% of your diet not just burning it off :)

Eat extremely clean and build muscle underneath...muscle doesnt show unless you burn all the fat thats covering it.....look into Tosca Reno/EATING CLEAN....

I DO NOT use nor even promote diet "fads" I encourage people to experiment with healthy food and find out what does work for them and get active :) People used to ask "whats your secret?!?!?) I dont have one!!!!!!!!!!!! I eat healthy and workout.

I agree when you say everyone is different,BUT some people try more than one of these programs which are not all alike....weight watchers is an amazing program no matter how you slice it....some of the other "diets" are bogus because they try to deprive you of things your body needs...its a money maker for some jackwagon…

I trained horses for 15 years....best exercise ever.Love to take the horses on a 3 mile trail ride and post the entire thing.lol work them legs!! I have barrel raced my whole life so being strong is important....my physical therapist loves how strong I am :) Yes riding horses for exercise rocks :)

Lookin good!!Yes you can definitely tell you have lost!Keep up the good work!!!

There is 5 grams of fat in one egg yolk....they can be bad if your pigging out on them....if your not working out your not gonna burn....i generally do one of two things....i use the egg whites of two eggs and give the yolks to my dogs as to not waste them and then use one whole egg with it or just use the egg whites in a…
