About Me
Hi, my name is Penny and I'm a foodaholic. OK, seriously, I love food. I hate the word "foodie" but I guess that's me. I'm trying to find a way to be able to love food and not be overweight anymore. I work in an inbound call center and help people out when they're going through rough times in their lives. It's important for people with my job to do things they really love when they go home. Unfortunately, doing what I love is making me fat. I need to work on that :)

That’s a good point @KittyKatt
We eat a lot of stuff that isn’t technically good for us, but it doesn’t mean it’ll hurt us if we just have a bit of it now and again.

Penny4Thoughts replied to the topic Balancing B vitamins in the forum Supplements Reviews 2 weeks, 4 days ago
That’s a really good question. People don’t realize how powerful B vitamins really are. They’re definitely helpful in getting your body back on track for better weight loss and even controlling depression and slumping energy if your levels have been low. The important thing to know is that there are a lot of B vitamins and they should be ta…[Read more]

Just have no more than a glass per day and you’ll be fine. It’s no more damaging than having a candy bar or something else normal that isn’t good for you but that really won’t kill you if you just control how much you have.

Penny4Thoughts replied to the topic LipoNitro vs Trimthin x700 in the forum Supplements Reviews 1 month, 2 weeks ago
The way I understand it is that they both give you energy for workouts. But Trimthin is really more focused on the exercise part. Liponitro is for the kind of energy you need every day, including with exercising.

Penny4Thoughts replied to the topic How much exercise keeps the weight off? in the forum Weight Loss and Exercise 2 months ago
Exactly. SOunds like you’ve got it figured out. The key is to know how much you’re burning and exercising. As you get fitter, you might need to add more exercise intensity to keep up the challenge so your body is still being worked in the same way.

Penny4Thoughts replied to the topic Fall Squash – probably a weird question in the forum Health Forums 2 months, 1 week ago
In my area the farmers market only runs while I’m at work. Even if I go during my lunch break, in the winter, it’s not a lot of local produce. It’s a lot of resale stuff, baked things and foods that will only make my weight worse, not better. Im’ jealous of anyone who has better options year-round.

Penny4Thoughts replied to the topic Columbia footwear in the forum Gear Reviews 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Thanks. I tried them on in the store and they feel really good but there’s no way to know how they’ll perform on snow and ice until I’ve worn them outside and made them impossible to return if they don’t work.

Any better, Brightstar? I’m curious and hopeful for you, too.

I like Columbia clothes (when I can get them on sale ha ha!) but is their footwear any good? There is a pair of boots I’m considering but they’re more than I’d usually pay unless they’re excellent. Anyone know? I’m asking about active use, not just fashion.

You should really get that diagnosed. You’re probably right, but if you’re not, if you do bursitis exercises, you could really mess something up.

Does it really make a difference? I know it helps your cells, but does it help them enough to actually notice something happening?

Penny4Thoughts replied to the topic Yoga and exercise for pain in the forum Weight Loss with Health Problems 3 months, 3 weeks ago
It’s amazing, isn’t it? I’m determined to try to stick to doing yoga and my other exercises from now on. Even if I don’t feel like it, it’s way more worth it to do it than to let all the unwanted symptoms come back.

Penny4Thoughts replied to the topic saltwater swimming pool in the forum Swimming Forum 4 months ago
I don’t think there’s really any difference. I think it’s just a way to keep it naturally clean instead of being clean with chemicals. A lot of people think it’s healthy to be in salt water, but I’d think that after all those tons of other people and kids have been in the pool, that will have killed off a lot of those benefits.

Penny4Thoughts started the topic Yoga and exercise for pain in the forum Weight Loss with Health Problems 4 months, 1 week ago
I started doing regular workouts – nothing too dramatic. stuff like brisk walking – every day and doing yoga every evening. I’m not great at yoga but I did a beginner version every night for a while. I found that I slept better and I wasn’t as stiff when I woke up. My shoulder pain pretty much disappeared and I stopped getting a pinched nerve…[Read more]

Penny4Thoughts replied to the topic Does losing weight always make you healthier? in the forum Health Forums 4 months, 2 weeks ago
Being in your healthy weight zone always gives you a health advantage. It doesn’t mean you’ll cure any diseases but it’ll give your body a better shot overall and you’ll probably just feel better overall.

Penny4Thoughts replied to the topic Is slowly walking 20,000 steps as good as moderately walking 10,000? in the forum Activity Forums 4 months, 3 weeks ago
I think it’s somewhat a balance between the two. It’s good that you’re not sitting all day if you’re on your feet, but the whole point to actual exercise is to use your heart, lungs and muscles. So if you’re sitting all day, get up and stretch every half hour to an hour. Walk around a short bit, then you can sit again. Then really enjoy you…[Read more]

Hang in there. It feels rough now but you’ll get there and you’ll start feeling a lot better again.

Thanks! I’ll check out how easy or hard it might be to cancel if I don’t want it later on. I’ll see how it goes and hope for the best! I’m pretty curious.

Penny4Thoughts replied to the topic caffeine healthy or not in the forum Health Forums 5 months, 4 weeks ago
I think that the kind with the caffeine is healthier for you as long as you don’t have too much and as long as you don’t have bad reactions to caffeine. I didn’t used to think this but have you seen all the great studies about what caffeine can do? It has a ton of benefits as long as you have it in moderation. Im’ impressed with something so…[Read more]

Penny4Thoughts started the topic anyone try a Gaia membership in the forum Gear Reviews 6 months, 1 week ago
I’ve been looking to try new fitness and yoga videos and I went to Gaiam because that’s where I used to like my videos. I found out that they’re not really doing downloadables or even dvd as much as they used to. THey have the Gaia subscription streaming. Is it worth it? That seems like a pretty big monthly fee for what I would be using it for…[Read more]
