A few of us were thinking of starting an on-going FReeper diet and fitness thread. It would be a place where we could discuss weight loss, diet, exercise, getting back in shape, encourage each other in our efforts to get healthy, and celebrate our successes.
Any fitness or activity level. 100+ pounds to lose or no weight to lose. Those who have lost weight and kept it off, please share with us what has worked for you. Maybe you love a certain activity, biking, skiing, rock climbing, walking, running, whatever, tell us about how it helps you stay in shape. Share your weight loss success. Just a place to exchange ideas about all things exercise and diet related.
Don't be shy! As Freepers we spend a whole bunch of time in front of our computers and more then a few of us could do with some exercise and probably a little weight loss.
NO VERBAL ATTACKS! NO NAME CALLING! NO BASHING! THE OVERWEIGHT! NO NASTY PICTURES POSTED! This will be a thread about getting healthy and no attacks will be tolerated.
Thank you!
I'm a tea junky, too.
Add me to your list too! It will be great to get this kind of support from my favorite place on the internet. Not sure I want to see any Speedo shots of the guys on these threads though LOL!
After I stopped drinking coffee, I got into herbal teas like Yogi Tea, Traditional Medicinals,etc. I have my own manchurian home brew fermenting away on my radiator. One of the best things for weight loss is apple cider vinger. A tablespoon in a 8-12 ounce glass of warm water with some raw honey.
You're added. I hope we don't have to institute a no Speedo police. LOL!!
Please add me to your ping list...I am looking forward to reading this thread when time permits.
police=policy D'oh!
Oh wow! That's really cool. I just buy it at the store. :-D
You're added!
Thanks.
What does your tag line mean? My mother gave me a mug yesterday that said that.
There are now some white or semi-white pasta products with a much better glycemic rating than traditional white pasta. They have more fiber, and some are fortified with omega-3s.
thanks for that info...like I said, if it's not at the grocery store, I'm not going to look for it.
According to one book I read, carbs - even "white carbs" - are ok if they are eaten with protein, which slows down the glucose process. The protein slows down and neutralizes the carbs. In this theory, pasta with lean meat sauce would be better than pasta with a light tomato or cream sauce.
I just do in moderation...I eat what I can put in the palm of my hand...which isn't very big. I'm beginning to believe that's the best rule of thumb...And as for firming up my body, I can load on the protein.
apple cider vinegar with raw honey...I'll try that...I've got 10 more lbs to lose to get to a perfect weight, and for my age, that's gonna be really tough...grocery store list for tomorrow includes apple cider vinegar.
Try to get Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar or any ACV with the 'mother', that brown fuzzy stuff at the bottom of the bottle.
Put me on your PINGzer.
