If you’re scouting about online for weight loss resources, you’ve probably come across what appears to be a scam huger than Godzilla’s diapers.
It’s called Kimkins, and was heralded on Women’s Wear Daily as a useful way to lose weight.
The problem appears, however, that the originator lied about virtually everything she claimed.

Morning,
Today’s workout at the gym was most enlightening. True, while I took it ‘way easy (yesterday’s kendo class had completely toasted my wrists, so I chose the ’super slow’ method of weight lifting today), it was commented to me in the locker room that ‘oh, you can use the treadmill? I get […]

Morning,
Yesterday’s Kendo class was beyond superb!
True, alas, the person who flattened me last week didn’t bring his armor, but hey. That’s okay; I was able to spar against other extremely talented folks as well. And also true, alas, I was rather, ahem, not exactly skillful….but! I was able to […]

Morning,
Kids are getting fatter again. Here’s the latest:….
ST. LOUIS - Heavy children who lost weight kept the pounds off better through weight maintenance follow-up, but even that wasn’t terribly successful over two years, researchers reported.
The less-than-perfect results underscore the challenge in fighting the nation’s obesity epidemic. About 34 percent of American children are […]

One of the biggest challenges dieters have is refusing temptation…no matter in what form it takes.

I’m intense.
Yes indeed, I finally have accumulated enough self-knowledge to realize, I throw myself in 110% whenever attempting new and/or challenging activities…to the point one simply has to wonder about my sanity.
Take yesterday. Please. Yesterday, I took my boys to Sesame Place and let me tell you, discovered that what is easy […]

One of the most difficult challenges folks who have yo-yo dieted face is that horribly annoying inner voice that chants, you failed 6 times before to lose weight, why on earth do you think you can succeed now?
As someone who once possessed the personality and self-confidence of a stale graham cracker cookie, I can […]

Morning,
Finally, after years and decades and eons and epochs and … you get the idea … I finally uncovered a picture of me doubling as a Macy’s Day Balloon (the before picture), and one a few days ago of me looking rather buff (the after!).
Here they are:

Now, that picture is admittedly photoshopped - the […]

This morning, I wrote a bit about why calories are king.
And today in some forums, there were more postings about eating more and suddenly losing more too!  Check out:
Eat more AND LOSE weight?
I think the reason why some folks can’t wrap their minds around this fact is that the ‘eating more’ means nutritionally-dense foods […]
