Overeating
I have been on a long journey with weight loss. Thru surgery, emergency surgery, gains and now trying to lose the rest. I have discovered after all this time I have a problem with not knowing when to stop. I notice myself saying I need extra because I don't want to be hungry in a couple hours. Or I find I've portioned out…

That's when the fight started...
Ever heard some of these, they made my hubby and I laugh. Hope you enjoy too. My wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, 'Do you want to have Sex?' 'No,' she answered. I then said, 'Is that your final answer?' ... She didn't even look at me this time, simply…

Water
I did a stupid thing today. We had a garage sale from 6 am to 1 pm today in direct sun. It was upper 90's. But in all the confusion I didn't drink my water. I had breakfast before we started, but when we were all done (about 2 pm) we wanted to eat. So we did, I was so tired I almost couldn't chew. Then ever since I have…

I think I've seen it all now!!
We've had a couple threads about odd things at the gym and some are kind of funny. I have an odd one to add. After our workout my husband and I like to take a swim in the pool. While in the pool area today a lady came in who needed a scooter to get around. I've seen her around some and thought to myself "good for her" we…

I'm cold!! Any suggestions?
They had to radiate my thyroid and kill it in 2009. I've been on thyroid meds since. Just recently they had to up the dosage.

Mind games
I know most of us have this problem, but how do we get over it. Do you ever find yourself associating eating with say...the clock? It's 12 so I know I should eat lunch.

Cardio on the same day as weight training
One of the guys that works at my gym suggested cutting back on my cardio on the days I weight train. He says when I go from weights to cardio my body starts to break down the lean muscle. Is that correct? I ususally only have 2-3 days of weight training usually Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I walk the dog 40 min everyday.…

Anyone have GERDS or stomach problems?
My doctor (who I don't agree with) is taking me off Protonix. I have a family history of stomach problems and have found for me Protonix and Nexium are the only two things that control my pain. I don't have acid, but I have pain. So I agreed to cut it down (so that I can show him he's wrong). I did this before when he…

Diet Soda Challenge
Drinking soda diet or other wise seems to be a very personal decision and people get all fired up like you started talking about religion or politics. My challenge to you is stop drinking all soda, diet or otherwise for 30 days. Don't change anything else in your routine. Eat the same, exercise the same and come back and…

Is all fat the same?
I've been reading about different kinds of fat. Subcutaneous, which is just under the skin, and visceral, which is around the middle and mostly around the vital organs. I have subcutaneous fat and know what I have to do for that, weight training, cardio and eating correctly. My husband has visceral fat. He works out six…
