Cathe addressed this in the menopause thread. http://cathe.com/forum/f95/menopause-workout-252611/index2.html I agree with Cathe regarding food sensitivities as we age. My body was much more forgiving of certain carbs in my 20's & 30's. I have to make careful carb choices to stay lean. I...

Why do you want to lose scale weight when your clothing size has gone down? I would say you are doing great to add muscle while losing fat. Most people lose both, and that's not good. Muscle is what gives you shape! Throw your scale out, and use a tape measure.:D

I wonder how tricep extensions help breasts? I do need to focus more on my back exercises.

Way to go! I'm 14 years smoke free. I crave them during stressful times but I always remind myself how hard it was to quit and how the addiction controlled me. I wanted control back, so I did it! It's weird, I didn't know how bad it smelled until I quit.:eek: OMG, that is the worst...

I bought one to make homemade dog treats. The dehydrator with a fan...the smell of liver drying!:eek: It stinks up the house. Next batch is going to dry in the garage. They show how to make homemade fruit roll ups with applesauce, but I limit my fruit(sugar) intake to under 30 grams a day and...

Natty, I thought I would share this info with you. I was taking them pre- and post workout WITH protein shakes and I now realize it was overkill. I'm anxious to hear Lorrie's take on this. Supplements are so confusing! This was posted by a trainer on a fitness forum- The "Scoop" on...

I've been using the step as a guide to get my butt down.:p I've been doing traditional squats for so long, the feeling is strange. Been taking tips from this guy- Part 1:EliteFTS.com So You Think You Can Squat Part 1 - YouTube Part 2:EliteFTS.com So You Think You Can Squat Part 2 -...

That is so awesome Lorrie! I've been squatting low for the first time in my life. OMG, I cannot believe the muscles involved. I have never had butt and ham DOMS like this. :eek::eek: I started out practicing the form with just a barbell and my tall step for a box. I've been slowly increasing...

Hi everyone! I haven't been checking in because I switched to Jamie Eason's Live Fit. I'm trying to gain muscle and Jamie's program is designed to do that. I plan to revisit XTrain after another round of STS. I'm thinking about combining XTrain and STS. :cool: Renee, I'm so sorry you are...

I don't know how to use it.:confused: I'm on Jamie Eason's Live Fit trainer and follow the micro/calorie recommendations given there. I use MFP to calculate my micros based on my goals.

My Fitness Pal numbers are a deficit BEFORE you exercise. You have to eat back the calories you burn in the gym and you are still at a 500 calorie deficit. Here is a post that clears up the confusion. For those confused or questioning "Eating your exercise calo | MyFitnessPal.com "On our...

Thanks Lorrie! I will try banded and see how if feels. The guy in the video was really cute.:p

Way to go Lorrie! What do you think of these? They are different from the video you posted. I need to strengthen my lower back. The MINX Demos Seated Good Mornings - YouTube

Fit Mommy, isn't the new WW different from the old points system? I remember my SIL following the old points system 20 years ago and she spent all her points of processed junk always running out of points early in the day. Needless to say, the diet didn't work for her long term.

I'm 50 years old, and I can tell you what worked in my 20's & 30's doesn't work for me today. My body is less forgiving of processed food (what I call empty calories).The older I get, the more it is about the quality of food vs calorie counting. I'm not saying you shouldn't count calories, but...

No kidding! STS is the bomb!:D I would like to somehow combine STS & XTrain. I wonder if Cathe will come up with something.

That is awesome DD! OMG, the strength and stamina that requires! Very impressive.:cool:

I hit the like button, but this post deserves a LOVE button Dirt Diva! You totally rock girl!:cool::D

If this fuels something so negative inside you, why do you visit fitness forums? There isn't any one person on this forum who will not tell you that fitness and health begins with nutrition. Nutrition is the foundation to health- period. Some people find it easy to follow Tosca Reno, Paleo...
