If you keep them, and you DO fit back into them at some point in time, it will really depress you..and you'll hate putting them on.

I like it. I think it's an easy to follow guidelines. It's "carb cycling"...I haven't done it in a while, but I don't really see anythign "wrong" with it, and can be adapted to your lifestyle. I now do my low carb days after the weekend. lol!

"hearts and flowers and buckets of *kitten*"

And just because an entire workout is "easy" for someone else..that don't mean it's easy for you. I've been working out for over 20 years. However, Try to get me to run, and I'm done in less than 1/2 mile..my heart is out of my chest pounding at 90mph. Don't compare yourself to anyone else. If you like your workout and it…

In Texas? Well, support your local brewery..SHINER! They have plenty of different varieties but I like Shiner bock best

I didn't have back surgery, but I do have 2 herniated Lower discs. I can only imagine your fear. I have a harder time with squats with heavy weight and low reps. so I was doing FRONT squats with a db. That put less pressure on my back (like GOBLET squats)..so you don't have that bar "pushing" on your spine. But I am trying…

ha! That's me! My calves have ALWAYS been too big for most boots!

Yes! Keep Going! Get Stronger! Look better!

Depending where you live, $70/hour is not an unreasonable price, depending on the place. (i.e...is it a swanky spa? Then you're going to pay more) As an MT in Michigan, the going rate is about $50-$60 for an hour, for swedish, sports, lymphatic massage. If you do want to try it, you can also look for other massage…

Try Pilates

"Now that's what I call high quality h20"... I drink mine through a straw . it helps not "taste" it.. Also I like mine room temp. Don't like it cold. And the water out of the tap tastes horrible to me (Our water has a lot of chlorine in it)..so I use a filter. Finally, i do use crystal light, but maybe 1/8 of a pack in a…

Ha! I have the same problem with bicyling tops! I wear tees to workout in, but when your cycling all day, the cotton gets way stretched out...so you have the super tight super ugly jerseys that are cut to just your waist, or a sports bra, again cut to just your waist. Terry just began making tanks that cover your belly…

chocolate covered pretzels cinnamon toast crunch movie popcorn chocolate chips (why can i resist the candy bars and not these?) Muddy buddy s (chex w/chocolate and PB)

bump! thanks!

I too, only get to work out on my lunch hour. I usually do weights for 30 minutes. (Not as sweaty as cardio). If I have time, I add cardio later in the day. It works for me! And I too have a "bad back"...2 herniated discs..but find if I keep up on my exerices, and keep gaining strength in my abs and back..my back is better!

Second sentence: Don't "settle for" what you've got. Embrace it. Be proud of it. I know plenty of those tiny, cute little girls (I'm in China, it's an epidemic here) and I don't know one of them who wouldn't like to be taller. I tell them almost the same thing. You're fine the way you are. Don't worry about the things you…

The colonoscopy is ok..it's the "prep work" the night before. Just stay home that night :-)

try different brands of Stevia. I've tried 3-4 and only like the Trader Joe version so far.... I thought Truvia was disgusting. You also have to be careful not to use too much stevia, or everything tastes bitter!

Also, try different brands of the greek yogurts....Personally, I hate the yoplait and kroger brands..but I like Trader Joes, and chobani, for example... You can also try mixing in your regular yoplait with cottage cheese. (I actually food process my CC so it's smooth and mix 1/2 cc and 1/2 flavored yogurt)...

Awesome! Keep it up!

There was a lady on the news the other day, who didn't start lifting weights until her 90's and she looked and acted 30 years younger!

I never work out when I'm sick. Sometimes, I do very low intensity cardio if it's a cold to get the sinuses moving. You're body is fighting to get better. Let it help itself get better. you won't make any gains if you workout while you are sick. You need more sleep than you do a workout.

I only eat the insides...???

try less spinach until your taste buds adjust and add another fruit or some lemon juice

Ha! that's me! Can't stand the orange smell on my hands after peeling an orange! It never goes away

I'm doing the "green smoothie" thing in the morning. That way if I dont' eat any other veggies all day long, I still got some in! I also make a lot of spaghetti squash...and eat it like spaghetti w/tomato sauce and Parmesan!

Thanks for the inspiration as I was about to eat something and I'm not hungry... :-)

I"m in!

Yes, support your local bike store. Kmart/Meijer/Walmart bikes are not good enough! And you'll be thankful in the long run to have a good bike that fits and is easy to ride! And think of how much more fat you'll drop when you do start riding like a kid again :-)
