Jogging after a large weight loss
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a product that might help me. I've lost 140-145 lbs. so far - down to around 245-250# from 390# originally. I used to enjoy walking but more recently I have wanted to step up the challenge and have enjoyed jogging, but the loose belly skin flopping about has made it a bit awkward.…

Looking for a lunchtime regular
Skipping lunch when I'm at work has been a problem at dinnertime where I'm most prone to over-eat, so I've been kind of looking for something that is fairly simple to make the night before (or on Sunday night that I can make for the entire week) that I can have for lunch on work days. I'm leaning towards going to a Paleo…

-41lbs in 10 weeks?

I noticed some discrepancy yesterday after exercising on my bike for…

Getting back to exercise and need a lot of help
This post is going to be long since I want to provide adequate background, but I'll drop a TL;DR at the end with my questions. The long and short of things is that I am coming back to exercise after living a very sedentary life for too long. I have a number of obstacles that are going to make this even more challenging,…

Water Enhancers
I haven't heard much either way, but just wondering if Mio (or any other water "flavor enhancer") is shown to be good or bad in any way. They don't seem to offer much but I find that I'm not drinking enough water and it helps for that. Before Mio came along I would sometimes water down Crystal Lite iced tea or lemonade, or…
