About Me
I've nearly reached my weight loss goal but I seem to be stuck on the last 10 pounds. I am looking forward to getting to my goal so I can start maintaining and feeling great from now on. Why are the last 10 so hard?

brightstar started the topic Rain jacket recommendation in the forum Gear Reviews 3 days, 3 hours ago
I’m shopping around for a good rain jacket for walking or jogging in the fall. I’m looking for waterproof but that won’t feel like I”m wearing a garbage bag because I don’t want to sweat to death. I used to think that goretex was the type of material I was looking for, but I’m starting to discover that it’s really bad for you and for the…[Read more]

Don’t wear colors that draw them, don’t go out in the middle of the afternoon for your runs and jogs and wear long sleeves if you can. Covering up makes it a lot harder for them to get you, even if it’s thin material. They’re unlikely to try to chomp down on you through even a thin fabric.

I htink it’s more about picking up your breathing, but if you do that long enough, your temperature will rise. If you’re not sweating, you should probably hydrate LOL

brightstar replied to the topic Vitamin D3 liquid or capsule in the forum Supplements Reviews 1 month ago
Everything I’ve read says that liquids are the way to go if you want the best benefit. I’ve been using the drops for a while. They’re messy, but they do the trick. I’ve never tried the kind you have to measure with a teaspoon.

Thanks. I did HIIT twice over the weekend. That’s exhausting! I hope it really works. I’m doing 20 minutes instead of 30 minutes like my usual workout, so I’m hopeful and having my fingers crossed.

Thanks! I’m always off and on with HIIT but I’ll go for it. I really want to get ahead with fat burning. I feel like I’m leveling off in my progress.

Is there a certain exercise that will cause the most fat burning, more than others?

I’m on the hunt for an immunity supplement. Not something that promises I won’t catch anything, but something that will feed my immune system. What ingredients should I be looking for (good or bad)?

You could always do power yoga in air conditioning.

brightstar replied to the topic What ever happened to toning shoes? in the forum Gear Reviews 3 months ago
Were there really lawsuits? I shouldn’t be surprised. Those shoes were messed up and I can definitely see people twisting their ankles or rocking over the side of them. Did people look weird walking in them, or was it a subtle difference that you couldn’t see but that really messed up your joints?

Thank you. She doesn’t think therapy is for her, so I’m trying to focus on the food side of things. I know it’s not ideal, but it’s something. A first positive step.

I really am asking this on behalf of a friend. I’m doing ok and have pushed through the blue feelings I’ve had recently but a very close friend of mine is struggling with actual depression and it makes her not eat too much on some days and eat huge amounts on other days and it’s making her weight increase a lot. Is there a strategy for people with…[Read more]

Thank you! It did end up feeling better. Using hot showers and a headache pill helped it out. Stretching didn’t seem to do anything good, so I just laid off it for a bit. It was pretty much gone in around 2 days. I can barely feel it now. Thanks again!

brightstar replied to the topic sleep aid recommendations? in the forum Supplements Reviews 4 months, 2 weeks ago
I agree. I just started using a melatonin product recently, ziesta, and I was out like a light for hours. I was a bit slow in the morning, but I think it was because of having gotten sleep, not because of the melatonin.

I have a knot in my back behind my left shoulder blade. It’s one that feels like it should stretch or pop, but it doesn’t. It just hurts. Any advice? It’s not horrible but it’s so annoying.

brightstar replied to the topic Walking outside really is better in the forum Activity Forums 5 months, 2 weeks ago
I’ve recently started working on getting rid of my dumb fear of walking in rain. I’m so used to hearing that it’s bad that I just sort of started assuming it was. If it’s just misting or really light, it’s not that bad. I’ts not as good as sunlight, but it’s fine as long as the end of my walk is my home where I can get changed anyway

brightstar replied to the topic Yes it makes a difference to weight loss in the forum Weight Loss and Exercise 5 months, 3 weeks ago
I agree. I just read it in an article I saw on Facebook: https://fenfast.com/health/lose-weight-with-exercise/
Exercise really does help. You need to do it. But it’s what you eat that will really decide.
