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?

I like anything with passionflower to shut off my brain, and valerian root to make me feel drowsy and calm.

I did! They’re awesome! I had a bit of a hard time remembering to pay attention sometimes. It’s easy to get distracted outside. But the point is to just acknowledge the distraction and refocus. I’m getting better at it…slowly LOL Thanks for this idea! Very cool.

I’ve never heard of this. I can’t imagine that anything like that could work so fast that you’d feel anything in 5 days. A supplement can’t repair a joint that fast. Are you eating oily fish? That might help.

Running meditations? I feel like I’d accidentally run out into traffic or into a tree or something haha. Is it a guided thing or do you focus specifically on your feet or on breathing or something? How do you do it?

Anyone know some great fat burning exercises that are fast to do but still effective. They can’t be for only the fittest people or it will kill me haha. I’m just trying to stay on top of things even as stuff gets too busy during the holidays.

Definitely lutein and zeaxanthin. Those are pretty much the whole point. Start from there. Anything that doesn’t have those should be skipped.
brightstar replied to the topic KETO FASTCUT in the forum Supplements Reviews 1 month, 4 weeks ago
LOL good question! I think it would be more a matter of skipping certain things. I can’t see sugar-free cranberry jelly being good. It would taste metallic with alternatives, even with stevia. It would just be like cough medicine.

Oh that’s interesting. the supplement I’m looking at has both in it. That makes a lot of sense. Thanks.

I’ve seen Theobromine in a couple of supplements for weight loss support. They look like good supplements. Is theobromine a stimulant?

I’d go with a strider or an elyptical that has the magnetic thing instead of the noisier fan version.
brightstar replied to the topic KETO FASTCUT in the forum Supplements Reviews 3 months ago
I haven’t used it but it looks decent. I like that it doesn’t contain stimulants but it still helps you keep up energy. That’d be useful.
brightstar replied to the topic do diet pills change with seasons in the forum Supplements Reviews 3 months, 1 week ago
Not a dumb question. if you feel your diet pill isn’t doing as much for you now as it was last season, you can always see what’s out there.
brightstar replied to the topic Motivation gone in the forum Weight Loss with Health Problems 3 months, 3 weeks ago
It’s good to give ourselves these chances to rebuild and be positive. THta said, it’s ok not to be ok at times. Allow yourself to feel what you need to feel and don’t be hard on yourself if you feel you’re not up to your usual standard. Things are hard right now. Be kind to yourself.
brightstar replied to the topic Best stimulant in the forum Supplements Reviews 3 months, 3 weeks ago
If you’re taking a stimulant in a pill, it’s really best to skip taking stimulants in all other forms, from coffee to tea or other stimulant pills.
brightstar started the topic Is it safe to swim in a public pool right now? in the forum Swimming Forum 3 months, 4 weeks ago
Just wondering if it’s safe to use a public pool at the moment, with everything going on. It’s getting too cool to use the beach and soon it won’t be an option. Anyone know if things spread that way?
brightstar replied to the topic Best stimulant in the forum Supplements Reviews 4 months, 1 week ago
I think I trust caffeine most because it’s the one I’ve really heard of.
brightstar replied to the topic Soreness hurting my motivation in the forum Activity Forums 4 months, 2 weeks ago
Could it be from stress? I find that even if I’m being kind to my body, when i’m carrying a lot more stress, my body hurts as though I’ve been overworking it. Have you been doing things like yoga, meditation, mindfulness practices or other mental health supporting activities? That might help. Take care.
brightstar replied to the topic How to heal ingrown hairs in the forum Health Forums 5 months ago
I think most will go away on their own. Don’t ever try to force it or pop it like a pimple. That will make it worse and increase your chances of getting an infection. Really bad ones might need to be cleared up by a doctor. That can usually be really easily done by your family doc
brightstar replied to the topic The Heat is slowing down my walks in the forum Weight Loss with Health Problems 5 months, 1 week ago
I agree with Penny. That’s likely the best way to do it until the days cool down. Stay hydrated and use a cooling towel, or go early or late when it’s cooler outside.
brightstar replied to the topic Running in a mask in the forum Running Forum 5 months, 2 weeks ago
I thnk it would be too hard to run in a mask. If your area has extremely low numbers and you really don’t need to go near people the majority of the time and passing someone is only for a half a second, you should be ok. Otherwise maybe a treadmill?
