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 Best diet for someone who stinks at dieting in the forum Weight Loss Programs 5 days, 19 hours ago
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 2 weeks, 6 days 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.

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 1 month, 1 week 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 1 month, 2 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 1 month, 3 weeks 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 2 months, 1 week 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.

Anne replied to the topic Weight not coming off where I need it in the forum Weight Loss and Exercise 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Don’t give up. I know that feeling. Your body will shift its weight loss as you need it. If you’ve lost enough in one place it won’t keep coming off there forever. make sure you’re toning themuscles in that area, too. That way, you’ll have a great looking body as the fat is gone. In fact, maybe toning is all you need so it looks like you’…[Read more]

How hot are those long-sleeve/rash guard swimsuits that protect you from the sun? Like if you swim but then hang out on the beach, will you feel like you’re going to die? I can’t tell online and none of my local stores seem to have them.

Anne replied to the topic eye pressure exercise in the forum Weight Loss with Health Problems 3 months ago
Thanks! By the way, this really is a friend of mine and not my story. I know people say “my friend has this health condition” when they’re talking about themselves, but this is my best friend and I’m so worried about her and just want to know what’s going on with her so I can be there for her, too.

I looked for it at the store, but I couldn’t find it. Does my store not carry it or did I miss the season for it?

My best friend has issues with eye pressures. Does exercise affect that? Is she putting herself at risk by exercising all the time? WHat should she avoid?

Anne replied to the topic Get good information before buying athletic shoes in the forum Health & Fitness Reviews 3 months, 4 weeks ago
It’s not just about how much you spend. I’ve been to some great stores with a huge mark-up, and I showed up knowing more about some of the shoe models. It’s not easy to keep up with every option in a huge stock that keeps changing. But if you’re not comfortable with what a sales rep has told you, head to another store until you find someone w…[Read more]

Anne replied to the topic Is low-carb dead? in the forum Weight Loss Programs 4 months ago
Low carb is still huge. It’s just not really Atkins anymore. Too much research has gone against goign that extreme and not focusing on nutrition. But reducing your carb intake is still important. You need a good macro ratio

Anne replied to the topic Spin class in the forum Cycling Forum 4 months, 1 week ago
Some definitely feel like it. Others aren’t. They’re all meant to really push you and make you sweat. So don’t just sign up for one to feel like a calm bike ride. That’s not what it’s about. But find one meant for your fitness level. I find that a lot of spin classes give variations of challenges so that everyone can choose the option best…[Read more]

Great to hear it! It always seems far worse at the time than it actually is. The setback stinks, but it’s not too long before you’re right back on it again.

Have you seen BeGood for tees? They’re super soft and about as eco- and socially responsible as you can get. They’re out of California.

Anne replied to the topic Recovering from a flu in the forum Health Forums 5 months, 2 weeks ago
You’ll regain the weight you lost from being sick. Likely most of it was water weight anyway because you get really dehydrated when you’re sick. Jump into things as much as you feel you can handle them, but when you’re not sure, just ease into them. No reason to go full-tilt. One extra day of taking it easier on yourself isn’t much in the gra…[Read more]

Anne replied to the topic Forskolin for exercise or just weight loss? in the forum Supplements Reviews 5 months, 3 weeks ago
Thanks! I guess i really misunderstood what forskolin is. I think I still like the idea of having it in a diet pill, but I want one with stimulants in it. I really am concerned about my dragging energy levels and what it’s doing to my up and down motivation.
