Guest L3T5G0W1NG5 Report post Posted March 18, 2014 Too much running is VERY bad for your knees, and lifting heavy weights will make you way too bulky. I like to just casually exercise a couple times a month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loutswings 47 Report post Posted April 11, 2014 Last week I watched a very good documentary. Everyone should check it out. It's call Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. It's about going on a juice fast for 61 days. I haven't started the fasting but the guy who was on the film weighed in at 305 and lost up to 79 lbs in 61 days just by drinking juice. I started to try some of the stuff he had on the film and it's pretty good! 1 puckloo39 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted April 11, 2014 I saw that, it was horrifying. Juicing isn't for everyone, but if you're gonna die anyway, it's worth a try! I think, like you said, you can take ideas from the documentary and fit it into your own routine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think, like you said, you can take ideas from the documentary and fit it into your own routine. I am not at the point I need to have my stomach tied off. But with my frame and build I could stand to lose around 20 to 30 lbs. It's just since my Marine Corps days I can't spend as much time as I would like in the gym. I want go get healthier but my job and kids prevent that. I want to make the change and I have. So far I lost up to 5lbs this week and my energy level is very high. Still need to workout more but I have started by hitting the rink more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted May 19, 2014 I just do the best I can. Work out 5-6 days a week. I am still going to compete again in the http://afmfittest.com/ May 31st. So what if everyone laughs at me? I'll never see any of them again...I am competing with myself. Last year I had two other ladies in my age group. This year, I may be alone. No. I don't look like Fit Mom. Never did and never will... Fit Mom is not a good representation of women I know, including myself... she's half my age, to begin with. Whatever. I don't let what other people think I SHOULD look like stop me from trying and working hard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hockeytown0001 7,652 Report post Posted May 20, 2014 Tip of the day - for those looking to burn maximum body fat, do your cardio first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Your body will use your stored body fat as fuel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt 1,048 Report post Posted July 1, 2014 Never posted in here before, but decided to stop with the excuses and get healthier back in late April. Bought a Fitbit and have been committed day-in and day-out since. Down almost 30lbs so far and averaging over 5 miles per day. Upping that over the summer to 7-10mi/day as long as the legs can take it. (So far, so good!) I had the "I work too much" and "too hard with the kids" excuses for the longest time. Changed that by getting up prior to dawn in the spring and getting in 5 miles before work. If the evening schedule works out, it's 4-5 more miles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted July 1, 2014 do you like the fitbit, Matt? I have been thinking about getting one. I am very active - today is my 7th anniversary with my trainer at the gym. It might be fun to see exactly how much I really do, running around like the hyperactive old lady that I am. Congratulations on all your hard work, very proud of you!
