Cold press juicing
I'm just looking for information on cold press juicing. We've recently had a juice bar open up close to me and I've been frequenting it, found that I love it and have been stopping by regularly and actually done several juice fasts. I admit I'm a bit concerned about the loss of fiber - however I've found the juice actually…

IF article
Below is a copy of an article related to IF. There has been a lot of discussion lately on the hoax vs benefit of IF. It's not for everyone. It does not give us permission to eat over our allotted calories and lose weight (yes its still CICO overall). However below is good information based on research coming out of…

WDW Marathon Weekend 2017
Anyone out there signed up for runs in Jan? Hubby, daughter and I are all signed up for the marathon. Co worker signed up for 5K and 10K, his daughter signed up for the Dopey Challenge. This will be my first marathon, I've got multiple 10Ks and HM's under my belt. I'll be 60 this year and thought it's now or never. Gotta…

Goals for 2016 anyone????
Last year I ran 283 miles. This year I'm setting my goal at 500 and I've got a marathon in my sights.. I'm not calling it a New Year's Resolution because I don't ever keep those. I'm setting goals instead. Anyone else setting goals????

Unexpected NSV
I am so stinking pumped I can hardly stand it. I've lost 20 lbs over the summer, just eating clean and utilizing intermittent fasting. I've also been running 3-4 times a week, training for a half marathon and helping a friend to train for her first HM. No work on speed mind you. However the last 3 weekends I've been…

0640 on FD
and I'm already hungry!!!! That may have something to do with the pint of ice cream I ate yesterday in a very weak moment. This way of eating has taught me so much about my body and how it reacts to foods. love it (even when I'm hungry)

Maintenance on 5:2
How does 5:2 work when you reach goal? Do you continue with 5:2 and increase your calories on the NF days? Decrease to 6:1? Haven't thought about this before, but I'm getting close to goal and need to start thinking about this

Newbie question re: energy
I've recently started the 5:2 program - I'm a nurse in a very busy area and rarely sit all day. My step monitor will show <12,000 steps in an 8 hour period. I find that on my fasting days I am exhausted after work to the point of needing a nap. I'm not used to this, and wonder if it will improve as I get accustomed to the…

Body Fat percent
I've got a few questions about BFP. I have a hand held machine by Omron - the body logic body fat analyzer that measures this, and was shocked to find out mine. I'm now on a mission to decrease my number - not just to lose pounds. I am 55 yr old female and my body fat is 33%. While I know the percent increases as you get…

My NSV
I started running almost 1 year ago, and couldn't run a solid minute without having to stop. Today (the day before my 55th birthday) I ran 4 miles without stopping and did it at an 11:30 mm average pace. That's huge for me! And while I haven't lost a lot of weight, my body had changed a lot, and for that I'm grateful.

New to site introduction
What a great site - I can hardly believe it's free. I'm a 54 yr old grandmother who is struggling with the middle aged spread. I weight about 18 lbs more than I should and need to trim down. I run 3 days/week and started strength training this past week. I'm tired of other programs I've tried even though in the past I've…
