Im sure the full body circuit didnt help but I suck at arm extensions too :)

oh geez, is there anything we can do?

Thanks for the article RaineyLainey, but I think in this case they are talking about asthma in the general population and not obese people which is what this question was related to. The talk about there being a possible link between vitamin A and reduction of inflammation in exercise induced asthma, but it says there have…

make any adjustments you need to for an injury, dont want anyone getting hurt doing this! You could just do the arm extension with no weight and the planks on your hands if you want since you have had shoulder surgery anyone who has an injury or underlying condition that cant do a challenge just let me or your coach know!…

haha of course!

I've read that article Pfil and they are using it in comparison to other inflammatory diseases, in this case ulceritive colitis - basically saying that if a patient presents with an inflammitory response that they want to diagnose as a bowel disease, than being obese might be an indicator that it should be crohns instead…

Hi yellow team It appears that your coach has deactivated their account, which also means I dont ahve any weigh ins for you guys from last week except pfil. If you could go here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AupZ8kDMiwo-dHB4cWcyemNMb2VXLXNDb3QzTGltSGc&usp=drive_web#gid=0 and put in your weight from week 8 I…

Ok lets start off the individual trivia. You can feel free to google these, or take an educated guess, either is fine. Trivia should have to do anythign really with health and fitness (obesity, weight loss, healthy eating, etc). Just remember to respond to the latest question asked and make sure you post a new question for…

Ive been having a crappy couple of weeks for weight loss but really trying to kick it into gear. Im not letting myself go over in calories though at all this week and going to try to workout every day!

If you have the opportunity to do this outside that would be the best place for it....Im planning on grabbing a couple of 5 pound weights and doing it in my backyard this weekend As i said, a treadmill works too, simply becasue it give you the distance on the screen and then you can just pause it or hop off to do the…

30 points total - it only has to be done one day and should really be done all at once. Its going to be tough but a good one!

the blame for #5 being late is part the teams, and part mine. I didnt recieve an email with the recipe from that team until almost 24 hours after it was due, and by then was out of town without access to a computer, so it should have been posted friday night but I wasnt able to. Things get in the way, both for myself and…

Im down a little this week, but not nearly enough! The good news is my, bf% has increased, but its still at 33% and my weight is still above what I started at. Im going to really kick it into gear this week and stay on track! I head out on a cruise next sat and with thanskgiving being next week and all too I really want to…

I DEFINITELY dont eat clean, but have tried to improve my diet and eat less processed / more fresh stuff. Its a work in progress The key like you said is a balance of everything. You can eat really bad food and still lose weight but you might not be as healthy as someone who works out and eats a balanced diet. But you…

Just wanted to check in with a couple things I have noticed - I have seen some great vices that people are doing - alcohol, sweets, going out to eat and either trying to eliminate them completely (which might be smart if you have fast food- too many calories to burn off!) or working off the calories from it. I found…

So yesterday I had two vodka sodas (138 cals) and about 100 cals of beer. Then I came home and had a sleeve of fun size whoppers which luckly is only 35 calories,but didnt need it so dont knwo why i did it Thats 273 calories i owed. We had an hour long game of kickball and according to my fitbit burned ~200 calories during…

Just the calories of a vice - so that if you eat a candy bar thats 200 calories you do an exercise to burn those 200 calories off. It would be VERY unhealthyl to try to burn off all the calories you eat in a day. You should however be recording everything you eat. It can get annoying and time consuming but I think it…

I love margaritas but damn if they arent full of empty calories. Have you tried a skinny one? I think it drops it down to like 100-150 calories and still tastes pretty good!
