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 hope you find great ones, whatever you choose. I wouldn’t go with the flip-out spikes. They’d be great at first, but from experience, anything with moving parts won’t work long once salt and sand get in there. If you want extra spikes, grab those coils you can slip over your boots and then take off when you don’t need them. Way better.

Congratulations! I didn’t think that was medically possible. Is a lot of it water weight? Maybe talk to your doctor about that one. Doesn’t sound like the sort of thing most people should do. It’s super great that you’ve lost that much. You must have had to get a whole new wardrobe! Have fun shopping and take care with extreme fad dieting like that.

I found pajar ones were very good but also extremely expensive and hard to find. mine had to be ordered online because I couldn’t find them in any stores. Their sizes are true though, so it’s not hard to choose the right fit.

I agree. They can be used in both ways. Mostly they’re for losing support, but if you’re just hanging on to maintaining, they can help with that too. They won’t do the work for you though. You’ll need to make some food choices. But it’ll be easier with the right ones.

Grip strength fades as you get older. Exercising your grip regularly can help you to keep it up.

I feel like someone already brought this one up, but I couldn’t find it at a glance. The research into the ingredients for this one is all listed on the website for the company that makes it, Intechra Health. They also make an eye health pill and a sleep aid, so they’re not new in the wellness category. It’s surprising to see how well r…[Read more]

Thanks! I kind of thought that would be the case, but I thought I’d put it out there in case someone knew the answer. Amazing how something so simple and easily available isn’t as obvious as we think it is.

My dollar store sells yoga mats and blocks, resistance bands and other very basic gym equipment. Is it worth it to buy it there? Savings or just a waste?

Is it better to buy individual B vitamins or one of the spectrum kind that gives you a range of them?

brightstar started the topic Rain jacket recommendation in the forum Gear Reviews 3 months, 2 weeks 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 4 months, 2 weeks 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)?
