Helen1 started the topic Eating the same, exercising more, weight loss same in the forum Weight Loss and Exercise 1 day, 22 hours ago
I’m eating the same as I was earlier in my diet. Over the last couple of weeks, I bumped up my exercise, especially cardio. I’m working a lot harder on it now. My fitbit loves me! But I’m not losing any more weight than I used to before I was doing all this. Why isn’t the added exercise making a difference?

Helen1 replied to the topic How I lost 20 pounds of fat in the forum Weight Loss and Exercise 1 week, 3 days ago
I don’t think there’s any way of answering that question without talking to your doctor. Sounds like water loss in that span of time, with maybe a handful of pounds lost of fat. Not trying to be negative. Honestly, I would loooooove to lose that much weight in that tiny amount of time, but I know it’s usually recommended that people don’t aim f…[Read more]

Columbia ones are pretty good – not great but ok, but get the ones that are really rated for performance. Don’t go for the cute ones.

Thanks! So it’s basically a bodybuilder or anti-aging thing. That is actually not the answer I was expecting. I’m so glad I asked!

Not trying to lose weight over the holidays. That ship has sailed. But what pill helps not to gain? Do they work?

Does the average person need to work on grip strength? I see people using those squeezy things to build grip strength but…hand muscles? What is it for?

I agree! I thnk it’s because of marketing. we’re told “oh just take this and youl’l get all your vitamins” but vitamins and minerals are serious things!

I say go ahead and give it a try! Not a lot to lose if the yoga mat isn’t your favorite one. You can always use that one outside if it turns out you don’t like it too much, or you could donate it.

I think you’d better talk to your doctor. If you’re not going to, I’d say get the full b spectrum because at least you’ll get an average balance of the ones people typically need. STill, those ones are serious and you can mess things up in your body by taking the wrong ones or by not taking them with other things your body needs simultaneously.…[Read more]

Helen1 replied to the topic Rain jacket recommendation in the forum Gear Reviews 3 months, 1 week ago
Good question! I like something that is fully waterproof but that has venting in it, like under the arms and in other areas. Some jackets have venting as mesh that is always open. Others have it so that you can unzip the areas when you want to for more or less rain protection.

Don’t dress in bright colors that look like you’re a flower. Don’t wear scented deodorant or other products. They won’t be around long. They are awful right now and then die off fast as the weather cools.

Helen1 replied to the topic Do you have to sweat to burn fat? in the forum Weight Loss and Exercise 4 months ago
I think if you reach fat burning that really counts – like a cardio or peak heart rate – you’ll be sweating. I mean, you can probably do it for a minute and not sweat, but will that really count for anything?

Helen1 replied to the topic Vitamin D3 liquid or capsule in the forum Supplements Reviews 4 months, 1 week ago
Liquid is best. Definitely not tablets. I can’t see that it would be any different to take drops or to have gel caps that contain a liquid inside them. Should be the same. So it depends on how you want to take them i guess.

Helen1 replied to the topic Immunity supplement in the forum Supplements Reviews 4 months, 4 weeks ago
Me again LOL I just had another thought about this. Smart move for learning about it now! Immunity supplements are all I’m hearing about these days as kids go back to school. Colds and flus – among other things – are already flying around, so it’s a good idea to get our bodies running as good as we can!

Let us know what you think if you do try it. I’ve just started using it and so far so good!

Helen1 replied to the topic Exercise that burns the most fat? in the forum Weight Loss and Exercise 5 months, 2 weeks ago
I’d say something high cardio like running or spin class

Helen1 replied to the topic Immunity supplement in the forum Supplements Reviews 5 months, 3 weeks ago
I’d think either a plain magnesium supplement if you really aren’t getting enough in your diet. It’s not really specific to your immunity but is more of an overall something we should all get, like vitamin D. I’m about to try a supplement called IMMUNZ that is specific for the immune system, but I don’t know if it’s good yet because my order just arrived.

Helen1 replied to the topic Exercises that dont' get you too hot in the forum Weight Loss and Exercise 6 months ago
Head out on your bike in the morning. Even on a day when it starts getting hot pretty quickly, the breeze you’ll get will keep you cool enough while you drink water. Just don’t wait until the sun is at its hottest and there’s no shade.
