What you didn't know you didn't know (article)
http://www.drmirkin.com/fitness/1346.html okay, maybe someone on here knew but I sure didn't. Found this in looking up lactic acid - as the article says, thought it had something to do with muscle soreness but it doesn't apparently. Huh... http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=78966 and another that…

7 lb loss in a week?? Question....
Apparently this has happened. I'm concerned that there may be more muscle loss than fatty tissue loss. I didn't think I'd shrunk as I measured a few days ago (my scale needed a battery) and it seemed that no inches had been lost but I could have been measuring wrong. I finally got a battery today and tried on a pair of…

PS3 Move ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!
Got this for Christmas (the bundle) and the PS3 Move Zumba - and the Zumba is GREAT, but I can't keep up for more than 10 minutes just yet. HOWEVER - the sports game package that came with the bundle has a game on it called gladiator and after much research and spending a very active 20 minutes on it myself, I do have to…

For those who are really challenged to stay on track...
In responding to someone else and writing out how long it takes to make/break habits, I realized that this is a lifestyle change. A big one involving alot of steps. Some have more than others to take and I realized, maybe that's why some of us are faltering so much - because there's TOO MUCH that needs to change to be able…

sleep screwy
Ideas? I got my sleep all screwed up on Black Friday, going out shopping at midnight, getting home at about 3:30 and going to bed around 5. Saturday nor Sunday I wasn't too worried about it, but now I'm trying to get back on track and its not working. I tried *really* hard to go to bed before 2 a.m. last night (esp. since…

New "group"- petite n flabby
Ok so I've seen a TON of "groups" to fit a variety of goals and characteristics-but none of them really fit me and so now I'm wondering if there's others who might be in this category as well? If not, all good but figured it was worth putting the feelers out there. I only need to lose around 20 lbs, but I'm super out of…

5-10 (from 10-20 TDay)
Thanksgiving is a week away and I'm sure many will be struggling to get back to pre-gobble gobble weights. There's been an ongoing challenge up to Thanksgiving to lose 10-20 (9 weeks) and it's been mentioned to do another similar thing for Christmas. That's 4 weeks, so the goals have changed a bit due to the shorter time…

Bottled Water folks
For those who love their bottled water (ie: Evian, Fuji, Arctic Spring, etc etc etc), I've just gained a new learning and although many may already be somewhat aware of this crises, many probably aren't. I sure haven't been. Watch this YouTube video for more information. I'm absolutely horrified and I'm trying to figure…

cerebrals?
Okay, I had an entire great post about this and then deleted it by accident so I'm keeping it short this time. :noway: :grumble: I'm a thinker - an academic - and I'll get very caught up in my thoughts if I don't have an outlet; so I've started a more appropriate place to put those thoughts and if there's any other…

Need suggestions - 700 cals/day...?
Okay - so I'm still in rotten shape due to alot of physical stops that have occurred over the past 6 months. The two I have to be most cognizent of right now is that I injured the major tendon that runs down your arm from your shoulder to your wrist. This is the same tendon that injuries like carpal tunnel and tennis elbow…

Jillian Michaels Assessment & interpretive opinion
So, I did a little Julian Michaels profile thing online and here's what she had to say: You're a slow oxidizer. Because you crave foods like fruit, bread, and crackers, you may be a slow oxidizer. This is the fancy term for your metabolic rate. It simply means that you burn through the nutrients in your food slowly and…

stress/depression & starvation
I need someone to talk to and I don't know who it should be - and I'm not looking for anything other than to find a place to put my thoughts. It's after 4 and I haven't eaten at all. Not since about 6 pm last night, when life was still fine. I can't eat when I'm tremendously stressed out or depressed and I've done *almost*…

Creamy Spinach Fries
Favorite fries - home made or frozen (chips would work too. I had left over fries) Frozen chopped spinach (mine was left overs that my DBF had put a ton of butter in - the butter is optional) 1/2 pre-cooked chicken breast (mine was an over-grilled breast from a couple of days ago - can we tell this is a left-overs recipe?)…

Leftovers 9/1/2010-1/1/2011
Hey all - I just had a BRILLIANT (?) idea.... You know that day that you have to clean out the fridge of all the left-overs - some things have gone bad and others soon will if you don't do something with them? Well, I do this about every other week (usually) and often find that I come up with the most creative meal ideas…

Weight loss ?? for Runners
For those of you who know me, you know I've been very hit & miss with novice running (mostly walking, really) and as such, know very little about the sport. I'm curious from as many new and experienced runners - what has your weight-loss (or maintenance) been like with JUST running?? I noted a while ago that it doesn't…

Book nerds??
Hey all - I just started an online book club/forum. I found myself trading books with people so much that it seemed like the thing to do... lol! I haven't read just for the sake of reading in eons since 'm a full-time student. I thought this might help my "to read" list and give some insight to others before they buy.…

Insufficient Calorie Burning to Lose?
I'm wondering for those that are being really successful at losing consistently (many don't have open diaries), I'm starting to think I'm not burning enough each day. Now .. technically, exercise isn't supposed to make a difference in weight loss - but if that's the case, then what's the point of *burning* cals? I'm only…

Odd activities for exercise?
http://caloriecount.about.com/ I found shoveling, spaying, hoeing here along with hauling (wood, dirt, etc) - activities I regularly engage in but "general gardening" is awfully high for weeding and I wasn't sure if it was high enough for digging/hauling.
