Check if there is a gym nearby that will let you pay by the day.

I've been roasting vegetables with a bit of olive oil. It's really satisfying.

Because she said very mean things to people on the Boards. She has actually been banned, I hear, so now she just blogs. Too bad, because when she isn't being obnoxious, she has a lot of interesting things to say and a very compelling life story. Oh well.

All of the above - plus if you can afford it.... Massage. Feel better!

I think your friend was indulging his "creative" side.... I have been at this since I was 21 and the only time I am ever sore is after I have slacked off for over a week and a half. And I am tiny. And I am 57. So..... the experiential evidence does not agree with him.
-
What good news! Happy for you!

Not so sure I agree.... I was far too cool with someone I was very interested in - even when I was "initiating" contact. So even though most people on the Boards would consider this "chasing" behavior, the man is very shy and he got the idea he was being friend-zoned. He decided not to pursue me as a result. How do I know?…

I used to LOVE the elliptical, but after an injury last year, I found that it was hurting my elbows and my glutes. It also tends to jumble up my digestive tract. Since my knees can't take much of a pounding, I am now walking very fast on an incline on the treadmill & it is really a pleasant workout. Besides that - it…

This is called an "earworm." An annoying song that plays overrrrr and overrrrrr again in your head. Wikki has a really good article about the phenomenon. I went for a week with a yukky Taylor Swift song in my head... It was so painful!

Beautiful long locks.

I was spot (ha - "DOT") on. If there was a body to the left of the first one, I would have chosen it. This was fun! Thanks, OP!!!

Reminds me of the time a childhood friend tried to convert me to Christianity.... NOT COOL!

When I started 30+ years ago, there were no other women in the gym, so I had to be super confident when I started out. I asked a male friend who was very even tempered to work with me and we developed a program together. In those days, there were no fancy cute ideas about how to cut corners. We kept to simple routines that…

What is PB2? A low-fat peanut butter?

Eagle pose!!!!! WOW!!! :flowerforyou:

I am one of those tiny people and I have tried my absolute BEST to stick to the 1200 - it has always worked before.... But EXCEPT for the one time I really needed to lose a huge amount of weight (a bad marriage.... I had never weighed that much before and never have since), I have never needed to sustain the deprivation…

No! :flowerforyou:

I am 5'1" and weigh 104 lbs. I have 4 lbs to go.... I am 57 years old, so I have had plenty of time to get to know my body.... If I eat more than 1200 calories, no matter how hard I am working out, (I can press 25 lb dumbbells and am about to increase, so I go pretty heavy for someone my size), anyway.... IF I go ONE…

This is so much more adorable than the usual mismatched sock or shoe story.... Hahahahahahahaha!

There was a fascinating interview on NPR last night with an author who did some extensive research into the fitness industry.... Wish I had taken his name down! What he said, after all his research, is pretty much the way I have been living for the past 30+ years in the gym.... In order to get more fit, you do not have to…

I stay away from the TV! REALLY! I have read several articles that link TV watching to compulsive snacking.... Also - I have been one of the people who has been eating tiny meals during the day with the idea that I am somehow being "virtuous." But I now suspect that I am just making myself crave food more often because I…

I am one of the tiny ones.... It's funny - I did all the TDEE stuff etc.... and you know what the result was? 1200 calories.... :grumble: You know what maintenance is? 1260 calories..... :grumble: You know what I am? HUNGRY!!!! Hahahahahahaha! You have to just laugh sometimes! All the best to all of us!!!! We are all…

I know how you feel! I lost 25 lbs on WW about 10 yrs. ago - and I was really shocked when I recently tried to duplicate that program with calories - I was eating about 800 to 900 calories a day! That is INSANE! I would never think of doing that to myself now, never! On the other hand, I am very reluctant to exceed 1200…

I love this thread too!! Thank you!!!

Either way is fine. What is not so nice is a somewhat burly but not in good shape guy who has hair up and down his neck, shoulders, - EVERYWHERE - who insists on parading around the gym with all that matted hair glistening with sweat and NO attempt to cover it up AT ALL.... Personal hygiene is an issue..... :noway:

Welcome 50-Something!!! I am 57 1/2! I gained 15 pounds last year after Sandy shut both of my gyms down. Then when I went back, I overdid things and ended up with soft tissue injuries that took a while to get better. Once I figured out that I needed to do the OPPOSITE of what I was being told (my PT's told me to remain…

Grilled tandoori vegetable kababs. And as another poster wrote - try not to eat too much rice. Have fun!
