Lori! What a nice thing to say! thanks so much for the compliment!

The suggestion for 1400 was based on a generalization for most women who want to lose weight, and intended for workout days, but not for non-workout days. (Excuse me for not clarifying). That being said, I should indicate that taller, overwieght, or more active persons will require more...

My two cents... I think it depends. Every body is different and what's HIIT to one person, might not be another. For instance, HIIT to a beginner might be burpees, or squat thrusts, but to an advanced practitioner, those might be a cake-walk. I would classify these workouts at HIIT and...

Suggestions... I have clients that struggle with this same thing.....Here's some suggestions that seem to work for them.... 1. If you have a "free meal" or "cheat meal" have it Friday night so that by Saturday morning you are actually reminded why you like to eat clean. Most of us know that...

And what they've been hunting for for 20 minutes, usually takes us 2 seconds to find!!! If they would just move things and look behind/underneath them!!! Sheesh!

Peanut Butter Health I do!!! Here you go!!! Healthy Peanut Butter Balls 1 cup of the following: oats, and natural peanut butter 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder (I use either Jay Robb or Muscle Milk Vanilla) 4 squares of Baker's unsweetened chocolate (or over 70% dark chocolate)...

Oh I love this thread...I totally get so sick of instructors in DVD's who stop what they're doing in the middle of the hardest part of the workout, when you are ready to quit too, and walk around and point out people...Shaun T does it in Insanity! Then he'll lift up his shirt and show off his...

By the way, Cathe, did you get a puppy yet? I read your thread about your curiosity about St. Bernards....I too only grew up and owned Black Labs, one after the other, but my husband and I last year got our first dog together and we ended up with a English Bull Mastiff mix....alot like a St...

Hi, Cathe! Hi Cathe!! Taught two classes so far! Yoga and SilverSneakers and did my own early morning power yoga routine!! Feel invigorated! So good to hear from you!

1200 would be much to low for you based on what you just said. If your daily caloric needs are 2140 and you workout and burn 500 calories, then you have to add the 500 to the 2140 which would equal 2640 and that's what you would need to eat to maintain your weight. Now if you want to lose...

Hey NayNay, at 120 and 5'5 you are really not at an unhealthy weight at all! Actually you are right on target, however 28% is higher than you should be. To help improve your body fat ratio and still not lose too much weight, I would focus on lean proteins, and it doesn't have to be chicken if...

Hi, Stephanie...maybe I confused you with the formula...based on your 1100 workup of your BMR, I multiplied that as stated in the formula above for your Active Metabolic Rate and I came up with about 1800 for your activity level, not 1000. So I would say if you wanted to lose some pounds you...

PB Sweet Potato FYI: With a GI of 54, the sweet potato won’t cause a blood sugar surge. In fact, the beta carotene indicated by the lovely orange color actually helps your cells respond to insulin, the hormone that removes sugar from the bloodstream. You might try a baked sweet potato with...

First, I'm sorry that calorie figuring can be so confusing! It sure can be a struggle to figure out where you need to be. Every body is a scientific experiment and we all have to find out what works for our bodies based on our daily needs! You can figure your own BMR (basal metabolic rate)...

Just so you are aware, your BMR is the amount of calories you need just to lay in bed all day and do nothing, no cleaning, no work, no working out. So that's probably accurate as far as the calories you need just to be able to function (i.e. blink your eyes, digestion, make new cells, grow...

Yes, I concur....sometimes we eyeball portions thinking that we are hitting the mark, but yet we might still be eating more than needed. I was telling another member recently about www.myfitnesspal.com, which is also an app on the iphone. It's the best calorie tracker and counter, I've ever...
