From someone who's been there - Do the BMR/RMR calculations. This will give you the MINIMUM you should be eating. When I was eating less - I gained. Once I bumped it up - the losses started. HOWEVER you must bump it with CLEAN calories. Diet is 90%+ - The difference between what you...

First I'm more of an interval walk/jog person (cardio coach) than steady state runner. And I don't do it every day. 2-3 x/week max as my knees can't handle any more than that. I agree it depends on how bad the flare-up is. If it's not too bad I just modify a bit. The bad ones - you know...

Interesting (and pertinent?) news story today Study shows Mediterranean diet cuts depression risk http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20091005/hl_nm/us_depression_diet_1

GoWear Fit (you can google it) is an activity monitor. There are some threads on this board about it as well. I'm sure there are some other options but this is the one I have. I didn't mind the initial purchase cost but I would prefer it be a stand alone. Currently you have to sync it to...

I've also struggled my entire life with weight issues. (gotta love that German heritage and food choices lol) I'm still significantly overweight and on the older (52) side. So my comments are based on my personal observations. I've also had my thyroid tested (fine) and have no sleep apnea...

There is no one version of a raw foods diet. And you can make it as complicated or as easy as you like. Personally I'm a mostly-raw vegan. No meat (personal choice), no dairy (allergies). I take the pretty easy route. Breakfast - green smoothie ala vitamix Most meals and snacks - salads and...

Before I was 'required' to for my job (healthcare), I never got the flu shots. But I decided I'd rather get the shots than work in a mask all day long. :(

As mentioned the fresh figs are highly seasonal. You've already had some great suggestions. I would just add that different varieties have slightly different tastes. My current favorite is the green Kadota. (they look similar to the 'white' Italian figs but taste different) It's been...

Fantastic! Congratulations :cool:

Absolutely :D

I did this one yesterday. The first two 30-20-10 rotations were bad enough. Then I hit the third one :eek: I really didn't think I would make it. But I pushed through and did it :cool: Thanks again for sharing the pain :p

If you're really busty and need beyond what they sell in stores look at Elomi. (They're the updated version of Goddess.) I have their fitness bra (energise I think) and the thing is like a tank. Not pretty and it might be a bit high (both in the middle and the sides) for you but it works...

Thanks for the clarification but I had no trouble with them and thought your system was very informative.:cool:

Welcome Janie! Kathryn and Afreet have already posted some terrific information. I will just add that, for me vegan, was not so much an ethical choice as it was a choice for my body. Personally I just prefer not to consume meat. I've never enjoyed eggs. And while I would love to...

Thank you so much Morningstar! You're very generous to share your efforts. {{hugs}}

If you'd be willing to share I'd be most interested. I did try searching your blog but didn't see anything that jumped out at me :confused: Thanks in advance for any info.

Well I did this one yesterday. And I was a bit scared :confused: as I'd not yet done #8 and those 8 minute (times two!) challenges in #1 were a bit daunting. But I went in with the attitude that if I had to modify it wouldn't be the end of the world :p BUT I managed to do it. :eek: Of course...

I didn't see how old your DD is, but this happened to me in 8th grade. I was in my seat, then fell over onto the floor. Others said it looked like I was going to pick up something from the floor. But I had fainted. Turned out I was anemic (very, VERY heavy periods). Iron supplements (and...

Are there differing intensity levels for your premixes? Or do you consider them about the same (not counting the length of course)? I was playing around with my own yesterday and ended up with 4 challenges including two Challenge #1's. (I like the short and sweet ones as an intro since I'm...

Thanks again Debbie. This is great for selecting those premixes too :cool: I also enjoy those graphs on the website for each volume. I've tried printing them but they end up with a black background that uses a LOT of ink. :rolleyes: Oh well.
