Fat Flush Water?
Saw this on Facebook this morning and thought I'd share. I'm not sure about the fat flushing, but I'm all for adding flavor to my water. FAT FLUSH WATER !!! This drink was featured on The Biggest Loser along with other weight loss tips... You should drink at least three 8 oz glasses per day, they say the longer it sits,…

Jump Rope Workout
I don't remember where I found this workout, but it's intense! And all you need is a jump rope. I TRY and get this in right quick during lunch at work. According to MFP, jumping rope (depending on your speed) burns from 290 - 400+ calories in just 15 minutes! I know MFP isn't 100% spot on accurate, but if they're anywhere…

The Eat Your Heart Out Diet
I'm wondering if anyone else has tried this diet, and if so, what results did you get. A co-worker of mine and I are planning to give it a go. Seems like a good way to kick-start healthy eating. I've actually done days 1-3 at different times; not as a diet, but because we'd had a party and had lots left over (nobody wanted…

Excuses, Excuses, Excuses

Scheduling Cardio & Strength Training
Really just getting started (again). For weight loss, what is the best way to schedule workouts? Is it cardio daily and strength training every other day? Or cardio & strength daily with strength focused on different muscle groups each time? For cardio I'm going to either walk, jump rope or use the rebounder. I want to…

Pushing the Med Cart
For all my fellow nurses, how do you account for calories burned while at work? I work 12 hour shifts at a nursing home, and most of that time is spent on my feet. Walking, bending, leaning in & holding awkward positions, and pushing that heavy med cart. Ever gave a bolus feeding to a patient in a low bed without getting…
