About Me
Hi! I'm Anne. I have been fighting with my weight since I was in high school and I've finally vowed to myself that I'd get it under control. I've tied a lot of diets but now I'm just going to hope to eat healthier. I think that will work a lot better than trying to do a set program that I always end up quitting.

Anne replied to the topic Balancing B vitamins in the forum Supplements Reviews 3 days, 19 hours ago
If your doctor told you you’re low in B12, did they also tell you how to supplement it and how much? Once your B vitamins are balanced, it might help your metabolism, so maybe you’ll lose weight easier if you’re already dieting properly. Careful with how you supplement B vitamins. They can have surprising side effects from doing it wrong. I’d…[Read more]

Anne replied to the topic Everything sore after swimming in the forum Swimming Forum 5 days, 18 hours ago
Oh that’s rough! I’d say that you should ease your way into exercise and just pay attention to how your body feels. As long as you’re sore and stiff and not sore like you’ve actually hurt something, head out for your walks. Maybe don’t swim quite so hard the next time. Sounds like you overdid it. Let your body guide you. If you feel like you can…[Read more]

Anne replied to the topic Which intermittent fasting is best? in the forum Weight Loss Programs 1 week, 6 days ago
it probably has to do with what goes best with your schedule. I like the sound of the one mentioned with 8 hours of allowed eating. That makes sense or you’re going to feel hungry all the time and risk getting dizzy and weak.

Anne replied to the topic Fat Bike in the forum Cycling Forum 2 weeks, 6 days ago
Fat bike! LOL I’d never heard of that but it really made me laugh because of the images it called to mind. I googled it and holy wow those big fat tires! I think that looks amazing. Even if it’s a fad, go for it to say you tried it!

Anne replied to the topic Exercise for lower body muscle in the forum Weight Loss and Exercise 1 month, 1 week ago
Keep doing your leg day twice a week and make sure there is lots of recovery time in between and be patient. Legs are a tough one. They can take a long time. You might be getting more progress than you think. Keep going.

Anne replied to the topic How much exercise keeps the weight off? in the forum Weight Loss and Exercise 1 month, 1 week ago
It might take a bit of trial and error to find out just how much is right for you, and you’ll likely have to keep adjusting it over time.

Anne started the topic How Bad is Wine for Health in the forum Health Forums 1 month, 2 weeks ago
If I have 1 to 2 glasses of wine per evening, how negative is the health impact? I’m seeing a lot of mixed article claims. Some say a glass of red wine is good for you (but not white? I’m not sure I understand). But other studies say no alcohol is ever good for you. Assuming it’s not good for you, is it bad for you? If i have a glass every ni…[Read more]

Anne replied to the topic LipoNitro vs Trimthin x700 in the forum Supplements Reviews 1 month, 3 weeks ago
I think they both have stimulants in them so they’ll both give you energy. Trimthin will probably give you more. Liponitro would too but probably just slightly less strong. So it depends on how much you want or need.

Other than eating less sugar, how does a person get out of pre-diabetes to be more healthy again? Does eating more fiber help, too?

Anne replied to the topic is 15 minutes enough in the forum Swimming Forum 2 months, 1 week ago
15 minutes is fine. Get out for a 15 minute brisk walk at some other point and you’ve got a full workout for the day.

Anne replied to the topic Fall Squash – probably a weird question in the forum Health Forums 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Not all the same. Butternut is pretty much the only one I like that I’ve tried. The other ones have a strong flavor that I don’t like so much. I like the really mild ones. I wonder if I would like that mashed potato one, but it’s not at my supermarket.

Anne replied to the topic Best diet for someone who stinks at dieting in the forum Weight Loss Programs 2 months, 3 weeks ago
I know it can feel like that @Helen1, but don’t lose hope. You’ll find the right one. If you’ve been trying for a while without success, talk to a doctor. If you don’t want to do that, stop trying to find one big solution and just start making gradual changes. This week, focus on changing how you design your meal plates. Fill them half wit…[Read more]

Diets work. It’s a matter of finding the right strategy for you. You need to think long term and find what fits with your lifestyle. You do need to change the way you eat, but you need to find the gradual style that will suit your life over the long term.

I personally prefer it because my skin, eyes and hair react badly to chlorine.

Anne replied to the topic why is matcha healthy? in the forum Health Forums 3 months, 4 weeks ago
That’s what it is at its most basic level. It’s basically as healthy as green tea, but because you’re drinking the actual leaves, you get many times more of everything it contains, especially the antioxidants.

Anne replied to the topic best fitness tracking app in the forum Gear Reviews 4 months ago
I’ve been looking into it online. It’s only in its beta version right now so we can keep our fingers crossed that they’ll change it again.

Anne replied to the topic best fitness tracking app in the forum Gear Reviews 4 months, 2 weeks ago
I know what you mean. I used to love the fitbit app but what did they do to it? The new version is awful. It’s not motivational, it provides less info at a glance and its layout is chunky and takes a lot of swiping up and down. I don’t know an alternative other than maybe Sparkpeople, but I hope something comes up.

Anne replied to the topic Does losing weight always make you healthier? in the forum Health Forums 4 months, 3 weeks ago
I think it will make you healthier but maybe not by curing some disease you have. It will help you to exercise easier. It will help you to keep inflammation down. It will take strain off joints in your body. So it’s not too obvious but over time if it means you won’t suffer from joint pain, improved insulin levels, less digestive issues or art…[Read more]

Anne replied to the topic GABA supplements in the forum Supplements Reviews 5 months ago
I tried them, @envirotodd! I used them for one month because it was how much was in the bottle. I didn’t notice any benefits effects and I didn’t have any side effects. It was like taking a sugar pill. For me, they didn’t work.

Anne replied to the topic long sleeves swimsuit for sun protection in the forum Swimming Forum 5 months, 2 weeks ago
Thanks! I was afraid of that. Makes it so hard when I can only buy them online. The only way for me to find out if one I like is too hot or not is to order it. Maybe I’ll try to come up with another idea. Not sure what, but we’ll see. Thanks so much for your help.
