Physicians Leveraging Social Media to Educate Patients
Debunking myths
Time commitment is one of the most cited reasons that physicians give as to why they don't use social media professionally. "I don't have time for extra work" is a common complaint. However, social media should not be viewed as extra work, argues Farris K. Timimi, MD, a cardiologist and the medical director for the Mayo Clinic Center for Social Media.
"If you study Internet use, people spend one in five minutes a day on social media platforms," says Timimi. "This is truly where our patients are, so our obligation is to make sure [patients] have accurate content available to help them make appropriate healthcare decisions. … Our obligation is also making sure we are part of those conversations. We have value to add to that conversation."
Another concern is risk. But when it comes to social media, physicians can't be so risk-averse that they don't engage.
"It's really important that physicians understand that if they don't take part in that conversation, that someone else's comments on Yelp or Angie's Listbecomes the new reality of how they are viewed online," says Timimi.
Dana Lewis, interactive marketing specialist at Swedish Medical Center, says another misperception is that physicians feel like they have to participate in all types of social media or that they should know everything. "One social media site doesn't work for everybody—some physicians like Facebook, others hate it. Some like to blog or make videos, but they feel like they have to do it all," she says.
Part of Lewis' job is to show physicians different ways to be involved in social media, whether it's a video, blog post, or finding content that Swedish can use. It's intimidating for physicians to get started if they think they have to be a super doc Tweeter or blogger like KevinMD, says Lewis.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

Fantastic post. Physicians should see social media as a way of reaching out to patients and helping them. Even though they won't be expecting it, they are more like to gain in the long-run. Erick Kinuthia Team MDwebpro

Tell me please, how does the expenditure of a trillio dollar to 'heal' obesity patient fit into a positive health program? It stinks! I own the discovery and correction of obesity with its [INVALID]of related deseases. I condemned food guides and diets in 1992, all wrong, weight gain promoting. No publicity?

Sevilla may have won this friendly 3-1 but David Moyes' first Old Trafford fixture as manager was always going to be all about Rio Ferdinand.
The defender celebrated a decade of sterling service at the heart of the back four by earning the rightful acclaim of the supporters with his family and friends among the very special guests.
United trailed 2-0 at the break courtesy of goals from Vitolo and Marko Marin and, despite a game attempt at a comeback that included a goal for Antonio Valencia, as Adnan Januzaj announced himself to the crowd with a fine performance, it proved in vain as Bryan Rabello stole a late third.
Former Anderlecht youngster Januzaj sparkled on his first outing for the first team at the Theatre of Dreams and will have impressed everybody including Ferdinand, who pins so much faith in the club's youth products.
The main man came out to deafening applause to be greeted by a mural in the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand and was quickly into the action, deflecting a Diego Perotti shot wide and then clearing a Marin centre. The visitors, with a much-changed line-up to a shadow side that cruised past FK Mladost Podgorica in the Europa League on Thursday, looked bright and inventive from the outset.
Youngsters Januzaj and Angelo Henriquez were sharing attacking responsibilities and the two combined to good effect on 11 minutes when the Belgian fed the Chilean striker with an intelligent through ball but Henriquez, who scored in Stockholm in midweek, could only fire against the advancing Beto.
Alex Büttner, who was pulling no punches with his tackles, then tested Beto from distance with the keeper clutching the rebound as Henriquez hoped to pounce. They proved to be rare clear

How we give you the most love in each bottle
In order to give you the most delicious and healthiest juice possible, we proudly use a Hydraulic Cold-Press Juicer. Why? Traditional juicers (known as centrifugal or masticating juicers), vitamixes, and smoothie blenders use a high-speed grinding method which is more damaging to the produce's cellular structure and generates heat in the process. Both of these speed up the oxidation process of raw juice, which immediately diminishes many valuable vitamins and nutrients. The cold-pressed method gently extracts juice by pressing the pulp of fruits and vegetables, which helps preserve the vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. The result is a more nutritious, better tasting juice that lasts longer.
Check out what our customers have to say about us on Yelp here.
Why glass is best
Raw juice can extensively impact your overall health and wellness. That's why we bottle our goods in glass. Even though it's more expensive, glass ensures optimal taste, freshness, and quality. Plastic bottles have been known to leach toxic chemicals, making glass the safest option for storage.
How the deposit works: A $2 bottle deposit is added to our juices and nut milks, which is then refunded to you once the bottle is returned to us. We wash, sanitize, and reuse the bottles – cutting out any redundant waste.

Getting in shape without a gym.
August 12, 2010
I want to loose the fat tire around my belly but I'm having a few problems with: motivation, timing, diet, exercise plan, and a lack of a gym. I need a some serious self-motivation advice, and some tips on how to workout without a gym. Help a guy in his 20s get where he needs to be!
Sorry, this ended up being longer than expected...
I'm 23 years old guy who just graduated from college this past May. College obviously reenforced some of my worst habits over the past four years.
I'm 5ft 7in (170.18 cm) tall. I weigh somewhere in the range of 203-213 lbs (92-96.6 kg) depending on the day of the week it seems. I've always been a bit on the big side - or "obese" if BMI is any indication... which it isn't I know... I've decided that enough is enough: I'm frickin tired of being fat. I'm tired of feeling/being unattractive. Problem is I've unsuccessfully made this decision many times before. I'd love to loose 35+ lbs (16 kg) of fat but 25 lbs (11 kg) seems more realistic at this point.
many of the fitness tips, like taking in fewer calories than you burn is what looses weight, and that it's all about proper diet and exercise. They've been drilled into me by my very fit mother since I was little. And I've read at least some parts of a few reputable diet books. [Like the
hacker's diet
]. But knowledge in this case hasn't gotten me there.
My main problem (I think) is that I just don't enjoy working out. It's frickin
! I feel somewhat better after the workouts - usually - but that never makes me want to do them. I think I need to learn a sport or something. I hated sports when I was younger, and now I've grown to regret it. The only thing I have kinda enjoyed lately is learning how to jump rope. I'm also buying a pedometer.
Oh, and the last challenge? In two weeks I head to Israel for ten months - a country full of beautiful people, in fantastic shape... because they all joined the military at age 18. I think that is
gonna mess with my confidence level.
So I guess what I'm looking for is:
- A LOT self-motivation advice.
- An exercise plan I can do without access to a gym - that is
and I'll
to do. I won't be in major cities most of the time, so no gyms, no scales, no dumbbells, no mats. I will bring my jump rope and pedometer though.
- I've never been a runner, and I think it'd be awesome to figure out how to get myself to do
this [couch to 5k running plan]
- Some suggestions on good short-term goals I should set for myself. So that I can have a sense of accomplishment. When I mean short term I'm thinking something I can see within a month - don't care what it is just
- I need a way to convince myself not to grab the cookie, or milkshake, or fries or hamburger. How do people actually get themselves to stick to a smart, sensible diet?
- How do people organize themselves to keep to a workout/diet schedule?
My overall goal is to get back from Israel in ten months and be
with the way I look for the first time in my life. And to have the confidence that the some girl across the bar finds me as attractive as I find her.

Also just realized... if I manage to loose one pound a week (as is the suggested rate). I'll be at my desired weight somewhere around my 24th Birthday in May. That'd be an awesome present MeFi if you can help me out!!

No advice here, but I'm 26, and about the same size—and in the same boat. I'll be watching this thread.

I came out of college, finally, in the worst shape of my life - just made a lot of sacrifices to do, at that point, the hardest thing I had ever done (graduate!). I went in at 145lbs, left at around 190lbs.
I can't say I'm currently in the best shape of my life - mostly from injuries, but far from the worst.
For me, I just started running and I discovered The Bicycle. I got rid of my car. I started going to the gym twice, then three times a week. I had a weird relationship with food when I was younger, so I slacked on diet - just ate when I was hungry and kept the food simple. I stopped thinking about vacations and started thinking about adventures - adventures that pitted me against large obstacles that needed great strength and endurance to get through. Thus, I had a reason for all this time in the gym and on the bike.
So... what's your lifestyle? To me, I found being in good shape made me feel better - what I looked like wasn't really important. Habits form quickly if you allow them - just start and keep at it - there's no magical training or diet anything. Diets, to lose weight aren't worth trying.
Do you have any really shitty habits? Do you drink? Replace the drinking with something just as addicting. Maybe that running you're thinking of. You'll kill two birds with one stone: you'll stop taking in empty calories, you'll stop sitting around, you'll be replacing one habit with another and you'll get off your ass.
If I have to point to any one thing that has helped me keep in shape, it's laying off the booze - after a while, training for endurance limits you on what you can do with booze. For example, I gotta get up at freakin' 3:00am to do this 20 mile hike up a 14'er on Saturday. Think I'm going to the bar on Friday? Forget it. I'm not even thinking coffee on Friday.
I guess all this babbling is to show you that: it's a lifestyle change - and a drastic one. You wanna be less boring and in shape? You gotta work it. You gotta put in your time. You got to find a reason to personally do whatever it is you wanna do.
Gyms are convenient, but also expensive. Start with pushups and pullups - anything. Maybe after a run. Get a goal of, I dunno, a marathon in 6 months, time unimportant. Kill it, dude!

Personally, I think going to a foreign country for an extended period of time is an excellent way to kickstart changes in your exercise/diet plan. I personally have been in China for the last two months, and I've found that the difficulty of getting the normal fatty and junky foods I usually eat is very helpful in getting in shape. I don't know what Israel is like - but I imagine the diet is different enough so that you'll have to make frequent, specific decisions as to what to eat. Reaffirm to yourself your goal of having a healthier diet each time this happens.
The first month is the hardest - actually, the end of the first month. I think it's called an "extinction burst" (read about it on you are not so smart - http://youarenotsosmart.com/2010/07/07/extinction-burst/). That's when you'll crave some Mickey D's or whatever junk food you love. However, once you get past it, the craves pretty much go away. The first month I lived in China, I craved pizza and burgers sooo bad, but had no idea where to get them. This month, I know exactly where to get them, but I have no desire to - and on the rare occasions I do eat them, it's...not as good as I remember, cuz I don't really want it anymore.
Anyway! If you really focus on your diet for one month, I think it could be the most valuable thing you do...fixing your diet is really the number one thing to get in shape.
As for exercise, walk around a lot. Explore. Also, you could try out ultimate frisbee. It's fun, involves running (fortunately with a purpose), and almost always (at least everywhere I've been in the states and china) very welcoming.
Think about what you want people back home to say when you get back from your trip. Something like "Wow, you look great!" from a girl you like. That's a good motivator.
Enjoy Israel, and good luck!

- I need a way to convince myself not to grab the cookie, or milkshake, or fries or hamburger. How do people actually get themselves to stick to a smart, sensible diet?
Looking at this from the other direction, if you are eating cookies eat burgers and drinking milkshake then, sorry, you don't really want to lose weight. You're on the step before. How can you want to lose weight.
You need a feeling of progress and rewards. The rewards should come from the exercise, not be separate from the exercise. Keep a diary. Write down the achievements you made each day. Not eating a burger and a milkshake. Exercised for 30 minutes. There are websites where you can track your progress against others - maybe this will help you, maybe this will demotivate you - try it.

Unfortunately if these things were easy no one would have to worry about exercise or proper eating - everyone would have bangin bods with no effort.
So the first thing to really come to terms with in your mind is that you WILL be hungry and you WILL be unhappy when working out and it won't usually be fun. There is NO way around this. What you need to think about at these times, though, is that having the body you want is more important. That is your motivation - at least that's been my motivation this last month, and I've dropped 10 pounds.
Really, that is the biggest motivation - personally I have looked up a person who has a body that I would like. When I feel like skipping on my exercise or overeating I say, "X wouldn't do this". Might not work for you, but it works pretty well for me (could be the Catholic guilts XD).
When it comes to eating - a recent study showed that what you eat matters more in terms of losing weight (although people who exercise are more likely to keep the weight off long-term) so that is probably where you want to concentrate right now. I think one of the reasons I eat too much is because making/obtaining healthy food is harder/more time consuming than getting unhealthy food. When I come home after work it's easier to open a bag of chips than to scrub and cut a carrot. There's no way around that but I've started putting time aside on Sundays and Wednesdays to chop up some snack food - carrots and celery usually, but also other fruits and veg, so when I get home I can just grab them. You may have the advantage in heading to Israel - crappy high-fat food may be more difficult to obtain. But whatever you do, don't go on one of those stupid high-protein diets. Your body can convert proteins to fat as easily as sugar. Will you have internet? To get an idea of what to eat, I used http://www.livestrong.com/thedailyplate/ I don't use it anymore but it was good in the first two weeks, to get an idea of how hungry I should be feeling for my goals.
When it comes to your workout, I'm not sure - I think others will have better suggestions. I usually work with machines and freeweights. If you did want to try using weights at one point I just filled empty water bottles with sand and used them. Of course you don't need to use weights to get in shape - I personally just don't like push-ups. I think you hit that nail on the head though when you said you want it to be fun - what will be fun and what you'll want to do will really depend on YOU. It will vary - dancing is good (and women do love guys who can dance well), soccer's more intense, there are other games.... Will you be moving from town to town in those 10 months? Will you be with people you know? Working out with other people can help - maybe have some soccer games or something - when someone else is counting on you it can be motivational.
Personally I find satisfaction in my ability to do something more than the day before. If I fatigued after 20 reps yesterday but today I can push it to 25 - that actually makes me happy.

Self-confessed lazy over eater here. Have lost 20 pounds in 7 weeks by doing the following.
1. Following a low-carb diet. No bread, no sugar, no rice, no pasta. Simply eating protein, green veg and berries. So fresh fish, chicken, broccoli, spinach, cheese, turkey, salads, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries etc. The high protein keeps me feeling full for longer so essentially my calorific intake has dropped dramatically and I don't even notice. Am probably on 1500 Kcals a day with no hunger pangs or sugar crashes etc. I kept a food diary to begin with until I got a handle on what my intake was. Their are a thousand sites dedicated to low carbing so go read up.
2. Drink nothing but water. No alcohol, juices, sodas. Just good old water and plenty of it. Just ditching the booze saves me hundreds of calories a week and I feel great without it.
3. Bought some good running shoes, signed up for a 5K race and downloaded the
Get Running
app for my iPhone. The Couch to 5K is excellent. I'm now running 30 minutes, 3 or 4 times a week having been unable to run 90 seconds a couple of months ago. The week in week out improvement is great to experience. The app tweets my progress and I get good feedback from a few other folk doing the course.
4. Also downloaded
100 Push Ups app
200 Sit Ups
app and followed their courses. Now up to 60+ push ups as day from 5 and similar sit up score. It's hard work but very satisfying watching your body take a bit of shape. One day I run, one day I do push ups and sit ups, every few days I have a rest day.
5. That's it!
I lost 6 or 7 pounds in the first week which, although very common, was a big motivator and I've lost weight steadily ever since. Still got 14 pounds to lose but look great, feel great, loads of energy etc.
I fill the refrigerator pretty regularly with stuff I can eat, only eat when I'm hungry and without all the carbs I just don't stuff myself anymore. Eventually I'll introduce complex carbs and the weighloss will level out but for now I feel healthy and it's working for me very well.
Take six weeks out of your life to focus on looking after yourself, you'll see the difference in half that time. Just do it!

I'm no great diet expert, and there are some that will be here soon I'm sure, but I weight fifty pounds less than I did two years ago, and did it more through change of attitude than any thing else. (also, I always thought of my self as fat, still do, but was a lot older than you before I got to your weight. That might mean something or not.).
Some people can lose weight by watching calories and using calculators and all that, I never could. I always got more exercise than some people because I liked to walk my dogs and work in the garden and build almost useful furniture; I wasn't desk bound even when I worked at a desk, but I'd then eat a lot more to make up for that exercise.
However, when I realized that carbohydrates, not calories, were the enemy, I began losing weight. I know, the experts will tell you that no carb diets are bad, and give false short term results, and they are right, but I'm not saying no carbs.
Look, they are everywhere! You walk down the street and breath them in. So you really don't have to go looking for them. At meals, avoid white stuff, potatoes!, rice, noodles, bread. You will still wind up eating carbs, believe me. And high card meals just make you hungrier (at least me they do), so work to avoid.
Look for proteins. They may seem less substantial, but they are really more filling. That doesn't mean just steak, but bean, fish (anchovies! about 100% protein 0cals; 0carbs). Peanut butter, the real kind without lots of sugar and stuff added. These are snacks.).
Vegies! I bet you don't eat very many now. Do you realize how good - how filling - a head of romaine is? Umnomnom! Yeah, really. Try it. Eat the vegies before you start on the rest of dinner. It can't hurt. Hey, fill up on vegies before you start dinner.
Don't ever, ever go into a grocery or convenience store when you are hungry!! (If you forgot to shop, go get a small snack, eat it in the parking lot, and then go in to do the rest of your shopping.) If you don't buy it you can't eat it; if you shop hungry you will buy lots of crap (at least, I did).
Also, a glass of wine (red) before I start to make dinner, moderates my appetite, but those do have a couple hundred cals, and that doesn't work for everyone.

Dance classes? Martial arts? Cycling? Skating? Rock climbing? There are many many activities that will bring you benefits that aren't workouts per se and have some kind of other appeal. No doubt many of them are available in Israel, maybe some that aren't available where you are now.
Apropos food -- there are fat Israelis. I know, I've seen 'em. But maybe, if you really like food, you should make an effort to eat local food and just be conscious about what you eat. Ingest strange fruit and vegetables and weird offal-rich meat dishes and don't have syrup-dosed pastries every day and walk wherever you can to do your culinary tourism.
I suspect that if you don't sit around all day and stay on your feet, that in itself will make a big difference. Sitting is bad. You use less energy and you snack mindlessly. Moving on your feet is good. You use more energy and you automatically have fewer opportunities to eat.
A change of country isn't necessarily a barrier to eating and moving differently. It can positively be just the break you need to rejig and review your old habits and acquire some new ones. Look forward to it and don't see it as a complication.

With regards to sticking to a diet/exercise, it's all about finding what motivates you. It doesn't have to be the same motivator in both cases either. In my case, for example, I found that caring about my physical health and appearance is enough for eating healthy, but that the only things that get me doing exercise is either doing something fun or being held accountable. Ok, so now the concrete suggestions:
Diet - Do NOT try to completely remove treats from your diet; it can make you resentful and lead to binging if you're having a bad day. Instead, replace unhealthy treats with healthy ones - e.g. instead of ice cream, I'll have a berry smoothie (antioxidants!) or do something like dip a banana in yogurt and freeze it. Rather than chips, I'll air-pop some popcorn; if I want chocolate, I'll buy only very dark and eat small pieces
over time, making it last a while (better dessert, though, it just some sweet fruit). Etc, etc. It's about substitutions. Also, avoid packaged food, but if you must, be sure to
check labels
. If somethings "low fat" it usually only tastes good b/c they replaced the fat with something just as unhealthy if not worse.
Exercise - Like I said, accountability worked for me. I had a personal trainer for a while, which was great; cheaper alternative is to have a blog where you keep track of your daily work, and that you publicize to everyone you know. It's also helpful in that it'll allow you to see your changes, which can also be a motivator. E.g. With running, you could test yourself every other day to see how long you can go without stopping before running out of breath; as time goes on you'll see that time rise=small accomplishment that will become a big one with enough time.
Fun Exercise - Classic is dancing; if you like video games, you could even play some Dance Dance Revolution. Another option would be volunteering with some youth leagues/just playing with kids (or with pets!). You'd kill 2 birds with 1 stone, helping others while helping yourself.
Sticking to a routine - Set aside a
specific time
for exercise, and do it -
NO excuses
(a la being absent from school - short of being on your deathbed, you needed to go in). That said, if you do miss a day, don't beat yourself up and completely lose the motivation to keep going. In the grand scheme of things, one day of relapse doesn't do too much harm, so long as it doesn't become a habit.
Phew, that was long. Hope it helps; feel free to memail me if you'd like more detailed info!

I have a success story that may or may not be helpful.
December 2008 I was 230 lbs, and then I started charting everything I ate in excel like
Food | Serving Size | Calories/Serving | Amount Actually Had | Calories
The last one is a function of the other ones so I didn't have to do the arithmetic over and over. I also had a calories consumed, a daily target, and then a "calories remaining". A lot of days that would be a negative number at the end, but I became dramatically more aware of what I was eating, and by the time I stopped doing it in May I was 175 lbs and had the experience of intimately knowing the caloric content of almost everything I was likely to eat, just from seeing it over and over.
The first month I did it without the target or calories remaining, just to count, and I rarely ventured over 2500 calories, just from being aware.
I had tried food diaries before, but just being aware that I ate six different items in a day that were each 400 calories didn't give me the same impact as seeing that I had eaten 2400 calories that day and I needed to be under 1800 to lose a pound a week.

R Stormway's advice/tips seems pretty good.
Get out of the mindset of "I hate going to the gym so I'll never lose weight". Pounds are lost in the kitchen, not the gym, so it's no excuse. You need to eat better. Start tracking your calories.
is one site that will let you do it, but there are others too. The Zone Diet has been interesting me lately - you might want to look into it.
Exercise is still a good idea. Like you I'm not a huge fan of weights, so I do mostly yoga and pilates. Yoga has the added bonus of making me a bit more aware of my body, so I feel even worse when I eat that cheeseburger and milkshake - it makes eating better a lot easier. I'd recommend a class for yoga, and then you could go on to DVDs at home or something. P90x might interest you too. Personally, I like recommending
Body for Life
to beginners, but most of their exercise stuff involves weights. Rock climbing is fun too.
Get a calendar, and every day that you eat right and exercise right (or at least in accordance with whatever schedule you've given yourself) put an X on it. Try and keep the chain of Xs going for as long as possible.
Despite magazines and commercials telling you that you can follow their plan and lose weight and get in shape easily, the truth is that you have to adjust your lifestyle to achieve those goals.

I lost about 35 pounds this year using the
app on my iPhone. I have never been able to stick to an exercise regimen, so I almost exclusively did this through watching my calorie intake.
I found that just by having to keep track of everything I was eating (and I mean EVERYTHING) made me not only more aware of how many calories I was currently putting into my body (too many!!) but also made me think about whether a particular snack was 'worth' having to figure out the calories and write down (eg. "All this over an oatmeal cookie? I don't even like oatmeal cookies that much.").
People ask me if I got hungry or felt I was depriving myself and generally, I said no because there was nothing I completely stopped eating, I just had to make trade offs -- if I knew I was going to a restaurant that evening, I'd have a light lunch to 'save up' some of my daily calorie allotment. The only time I really felt like I was going nuts was when I was getting close to my goal weight and the calorie allotments were getting smaller & smaller, but at that point, my BMI was around 24, so I could take my foot off the accelerator a little.
The things people above have been saying about changing your attitude are on the mark. I would add to that advice what someone told me -- "Don't cheat a little so you won't cheat a lot." We have free snacks at work and before my diet I would always take a handful of cheeze-its or whatever and one handful turned to two turned to three, etc.

My boyfriend--taller and not as heavy as you--lost 10 or 15 pounds simply by deciding never to drink soda again. Likewise, he gained at least 5 after leaving New York and having to drive instead of walk.

Different things work for different people. I'm a horrible dieter, but started running and gave up drinking pop (also known as soda to many of you, Coke to fewer of you.) I found that as I slowly became a better runner, I was eating less. Almost all the same stuff, just less. I lost 40 pounds in a year and a half. I've kept it off for four or five years now with very little conscious effort. I still eat less and I still run, but I don't think of them as part of some weight loss plan. It's more like a simple part of who I am.

I'm in the same boat, but have not succeeded since I left college. That was 9 years ago, it doesn't get any easier. College left me with bad smoking and drinking habits, of which I finally just got over the smoking. I know alchohol is what is preventing me from making real progress. I'll eat healthy during the week just to erase my efforts on the weekend. .
While I have not succeeded as of yet, my current plan is making a game of the running bit . . using nike+ipod and a heartrate monitor to track progress.

Different things work for different people.
has sad a super, super true thing.
I have read enough AskMes on weight & fitness to know that there are many, many valid answers to to the question "what works?". The good news is, there's no *one* magic bullet so you are tied into just one solution. The bad news is, you may have a lot of trial and error before you figure out what is your thing.
As a recovering couch potato, I used to believe (and still hear a lot of people say) that getting fit/losing fat is very hard. I found that so discouraging and although I still think that's true, I also think when you find the right thing for you, it gets much , much easier and can even be FUN. I wish someone had told me along with the hard part that I might find something I loved.
For me, that thing is Crossfit, particularly because it includes a lot of strength training and weight lifting which I like because I find it fun and empowering. A bonus is that I want to be able to lift more weight so I do better at thinking of food as muscle fuel which makes it easier to shy away from junky, empty calorie crap. So for me, this works because I stick with it because it is enjoyable and the exercise I do makes me eat better. For other people, the eating might come first ("oh now that I am eating healthy, I feel like I could run! Maybe I will!") or another program might work whether it be an eating program/diet like WW or an exercise program like Boot Camp or Couch to 5k.

Focus on eating meat and vegetables. Avoid (non-leafy) carbs whenever possible. Drink only water or zero-calorie diet beverages. Write down everything you eat for at least a few weeks -- you don't have to use a web site or count up the calories, just write it all down.
Do all of the above six days out of the week. One day of the week, throw out all the rules and eat whatever you want.
This should be pretty easy to stick to. Exercise-wise, do whatever you want. Then when you're done traveling, join a gym and learn how to squat, deadlift, and press.

People do many things to lose weight and/or get in shape, and what works for one person may not work for another person. So the #1 thing to remember is you have to find something that works for you, whether that's a specific diet like Atkins, generally counting calories, running marathons, joining a boot camp class, taking a walk after supper etc. And something that works at first may not work when you get bored of it, so feel free to find something new that works for you.
I'll tell you what's worked for me so far, and maybe some of it will be useful.
The thing that had the biggest impact on my fitness was realizing that if I don't like the activity, I won't do it. Some people may slave through unpleasant activity, but it drains me. That let me to stop running for fitness because I found running boring and difficult (I've since changed my mind). I lost at least 20 pounds when I stopped equating exercise with something I hated (running). Instead, I started taking boxing classes because, oddly, fighting is great fun. Later I took up canoeing as a hobby because paddling is meditative and seeing new places is fun. Then I bought some adjustable dumbbells and a chin-up bar and started doing workouts at my place in the morning because I like the boost it gave me.
The point I'm trying to make is: finding an activity that I like has always worked well for me. Maybe you'll find that you love running, but if you don't like it then you should feel free to investigate other options. Maybe hiking? Canoeing? Boxing? Water polo? Soccer? Rock climbing? Rowing? What you do for fun & exercise is entirely up to you.
If you choose to do some kind of formalized workout routine, since you don't like working out maybe you should limit yourself to no more than 50 minutes of working out. Then there's an end in site which helps you stick to it. You can plan how many exercises to do, for how long, and (the best part) how long your
will be, and maybe it'll be easier for you to stick to your plan since you know when it'll end. If you go that route,
here's an online workout timer that I like
I think this was covered in other posts, but losing weight is all about calories. And no amount of exercise short of marathons will make up for constantly eating too many calories. Exercise makes you feel good, makes you less hungry (at least, it does that for me), and builds and tones muscle - basically, it supports a healthy diet. So be sure to make healthy eating part of the plan or else you'll end up a fit guy with the same spare tire you started with.
Finally, if appearances are a big concern for you, work with your body type instead of trying to look like Brad Pitt. I have broad shoulders and put on weight easily; as a result I've never had a six-pack, but I've been very happy with my appearance at times by being muscular. Instead of Lance Armstrong, think linebacker who's fun to cuddle with. I don't know how you're built, but if you accept how you're built and work with it your appearance and self-esteem will improve much faster because you'll dress for your body type and feel confident about your good features instead of focusing on the wrong features.

Have you read
Born to Run
- it's inspired me to try running again (I've always been jealous of runners' ability to exercise anywhere, anytime).
Also - the thing that really feels great about exercise or diet is the part where you meet your goals. So, take a bunch of measurements (waist, chest, legs, arms, hips, weight, BMI, bodyfat etc), do some tests (how many push-ups/pull-ups/sit-ups can you do) and then set some goals. Then do your program for a week and lo and behold, you'll discover that you've lost an inch here or there, you've doubled your push-ups (how did that happen), etc.
Good luck.

I used to hate to work out. Hate, hate, HATE. I could limit my calories, but even so, being hypothyroid, losing weight was a bitch. I completely and understand when you say you find exercise boring. It used to drive me nuts when people would talk casually about running a 5K or whatever.
Here's what worked for me: The Wii and EA Sports Active. I really, truly, surprisingly, ENJOY working out now. It's fun! I have both the original Sports Active and the More Workouts version and I have done each of the "Six Week Challenges" on them twice now and I'm still going strong because it's varied, I can see the progress and I don't get bored.
I don't have any fancy equipment, like that Wii Fit balance board thing. The EA Sports Active comes with a simple rubber band and a velcro strap that goes around one thigh and that's all you need. You do everything from playing squash to paddling a raft to dancing and obstacle courses, with attractive scenery and music (you can create your own playlist but I just use the default music).
I did try a different Wii workout, by the way, and didn't like it. My sister uses the My Fitness Coach and I found it boring because it is just standard aerobics. But everyone's different, so if you try the EA Sports Active and don't like it (which would surprise me, but still), there are lots of other choices out there. And you can choose to do Dance, Dance Revolution or other Wii games if you want instead. You can even workout with a buddy with most of the them.
I also still track my calories over at Livestrong and their Daily Plate app is on my phone, though I usually just enter my calories on my laptop.

I mean this in a spirit of helpfulness: if you're doing internet searches about this, you'll get much better results if you search for "lose weight" and not "loose weight". I mean, you'll get hits for "loose" but they'll be poorly spelled hits.
Personally, I found moving to a new country (France, in my case) was a great way to lose weight - I walked everywhere to explore my new area, and exploring new foods meant I wasn't getting into a rut of eating too much of one thing. Go to Israel, enjoy all the new foods in small quantities, don't drink too much, have a good time and see what happens.

You've already gotten a ton of good advice above, so I'll just say again, find something you like and something you can live with. I love rock climbing, so I boulder, and I hate the gym, so I do Crossfit. It's fast, it works you like hell and each time it's different, so I don't end up bored with routine and splayed over a bench wondering where to buy a caramel-covered brownie afterwards. I'm so dead post-workout it's all I can do to crawl into the shower and not drown.
If you like the jump rope, keep up with that. Some boxing buddies of mine jump rope for 3 minutes (one round in boxing), do pushups for 3 minutes, jump rope 3 minutes again, do situps for 3 minutes and repeat for 30 minutes or so. They like it because it crams everything into a shortish workout and they like being able to hit things non-stop for ridiculous amounts of time. YMMV - point is, jumping rope is awesome, it's portable and small enough to take with you, and you can do it anywhere, so there's no excuse not to do it. Even if you're tired and think, 'I can only do 3 minutes today', get up, do it, and then try and go for another 3. And then another. Break it up into small intervals until you know you've pushed yourself.
For the pedometer, set yourself a step goal. Most people suggest getting to 10,000 steps a day, or about 5 miles or so. Doesn't matter what it is, really, but whatever it is, stick to it. Especially in Israel - I'm sure there's going to be lots of interesting and new things for you to see, so go out and explore, and the steps'll start adding up. If you're not used to walking for extended amounts of time, start slow, and wear good shoes.
Whatever happens, don't beat yourself down. If you eat too much one day or sleep through your workout alarm - you're human. Statistically speaking, it's gonna happen. That's all right. Get up and go do it, whatever you missed, or make time later in the day for it. Don't write the day off as wasted and throw all your plans out the window - I've done this by diving headfirst into multiple bags of chips and it'll do nothing but make you feel worse. Don't give up. Even if it's something small, keep doing it, and do a little more the next day, and the next, and do it for you, not for anyone else. Try not to get too down if you see a whole lot of 'beautiful people' around in Israel, too - we're all built different, and you don't have a drill sergeant barking at you to do twenty more pushups. There's no point in comparing and constrasting, because such situations aren't comparable, and it'll only drive you nuts.
Good luck!

Logging and tracking everything (I use
and their iPhone app) helps me a lot. I mix using the Wii, drumming (playing 45 minutes of drumset burns a fair bit of calories), and chores around the house. Mowing the lawn, vacuuming, mopping, dusting - all of these can burn calories.

Make a goal to walk on the beach in Israel in one month 10 pounds lighter. Weigh yourself everyday. I think if you just walked a lot you'd be on the right path.

I may have marked too many of these posts as favorites, but your tips are so good it was hard to choose. So... Thanks! (@altolinguistic ... wow that's a hilarious mistake. And I've been editor for a school yearbook and newspaper before).
I like the idea of keeping track of calories - do all of you find doing it online is best?
Also what bodyweight exercise programs do you like? (besides the DVDs.. I'm looking into those).

is my go-to answer for people who want to work out, but can't have any equipment. It's a deck of cards with 50+ different bodyweight exercises on them; you deal some out to yourself, then follow the instructions on the cards. The game-like randomness of each workout makes it fun, and you can take the cards anywhere, so it's great for travel. They make booster sets you can get, also -- the Stairs pack might go well with the standard Bodyweight set, if you'll be staying somewhere with a stairwell or two.
Why not work through the Bodyweight set for 10 months, and then graduate to the Navy SEAL or Firefighter set just to stick it those who "all joined the military at age 18"!

I first heard local singer-songwriter Lili K. on Chance the Rapper's breakthrough 2012 mixtape, #10Day. She played a backup singer to Chance on "Hey Ma," and her fluttering brassy voice helped make the tune one of the mixtape's high points. Since then I've noticed her name come up frequently in the local hip-hop scene, which is slightly odd considering Lili doesn't make rap herself.
The 21-year-old is a jazz vocalist. She studied jazz, classical, and opera singing as a high school student in Milwaukee, but it's jazz that captured her attention. After graduating high school she enrolled in Columbia College, where she took classes with Ruby Hornet's Alex Fruchter (aka DJ RTC) and met producer Peter Cottontale. Lili and Peter became frequent collaborators and in the fall they released a neosoul EP called Metal Petals, which includes contributions from Chance, Sulaiman, and the GTW. Lili tends to blur genre lines in her solo work, which certainly helps her ability to work and connect with local MCs and rap producers.
On Fri 3/1 Lili and her backing band, the Secret Garden, will headline a concert at the Hard Rock Cafe, and the show provided a great opportunity to talk with the singer about her relationship with the local rap scene. I recently met up with Lili at the Chicago Cultural Center where we discussed J Dilla, getting a fake ID to get into jazz clubs, and her work with Peter and Chance.
On meeting and connecting with Peter Cottontale:
He was actually in a band, they're called HD, and they were kinda like Columbia's house band for open mikes. I basically just went to one after being at Columbia for a couple months and I sang by myself, and I was like, "If there's any musicians out there, I wanna start a band, so come talk to me if you like what you hear." I sang, and they came up, like, "Oh, we'd love to work with you." So we played a couple shows together and then they were going in like a different direction—I mean they played for a lot of different artists—and I wanted to set up something that was mostly just me and my music. So Peter and I kinda branched out and started pulling our own musicians to make our band.
I know as a producer he's heavily influenced by J Dilla, which is one of my favorite—probably a lot of people's favorite—producers of all time. He's also trained in jazz. He was actually—a lot of people don't know this—Peter is a percussionist. He plays vibes, that's his first instrument; he kinda taught himself keyboard to produce and make money at jazz gigs on the side, but it's not his first instrument. So like if you give him a vibraphone he kills.
We discovered we did the same type of stuff in high school with music and everything like that. Just talking about, "Who do you like?" and "Who do you like?" We just had a lot of similar interests, from everybody like D'Angelo and Jill Scott and the whole neosoul movement to, like, Bill Evans, Chick Corea, and jazz.
On finding her place in the rap scene:
I released my first project in 2011—actually on my birthday, July 1, 2011—and that was a neosoul EP. No one knew who I was. I called Peter one morning, I was like, "I wanna release a project," and he was like, "Alright, come over. Let's do it." And so we did that and I released it to a nonexistent fan base pretty much.
When I initially moved to Chicago, I started going to jam sessions at jazz clubs. I got a fake ID when I was 18 so I could go to jam sessions, so I knew some people in the jazz scene, but definitely that's not the hip-hop scene.
And then I started meeting people. Peter knew some people from producing in high school and it just kept growing, and I worked with more and more people. I've just been lucky enough to have people like it, which is weird because it is the hip-hop scene and I'm not a rapper. I don't do hip-hop. There are elements to it in my music, but I'm just really fortunate that people have liked it.
On working with Chance the Rapper:
I was sitting in RTC's class at Columbia, and Peter texted me and just asked if I could come to a Chance session. And this was, it was before #10Day came out, and Chance had a growing buzz, but he definitely wasn't where he is now. I guess how it came about was they were in the studio and he was producing "Hey Ma" with Chance and they really wanted a singer on it, and Zak Fox Jablow, he had suggested me, he knew about me from Columbia.
He played Chance some of my stuff, and he liked it, and they're like, "How do we get in touch with her?" Peter was like, "Well, I'm her producer." He just kinda sat quietly and let it unfold to see if they genuinely liked me so he wasn't just like putting me on it, which is really cool; I appreciate that it was like a genuine interest and not just Peter trying to push me on them.
I went over there and I pretty much just had Chance write down the lyrics, and I sang along when I wanted to. He really liked it, and we built a relationship from there. I've done more songs with him. I don't know how many songs I'm on in Acid Rap. I've just gone to the studio and helped him out with stuff.
Well I mean, Chance is—he's crazy. He's a great artist. It's been cool working with him. I think we've introduced him to a lot more soulful stuff that he could incorporate into his music, like I know he started singing a lot more, so it's cool to have influenced people in that way. And then, since I am in the hip-hop scene but I'm a singer, I need to look at what these rappers are doing. These are my peers, even though I'm not really in competition with them because we're different lanes completely, but we're in the same area. It's kinda weird.
I just like to keep up with what they're doing, even if I'm just listening to their production and try to incorporate that into soul and into jazz just to maintain a fan base, and try to bring some of their fans over my way, especially people who only like hip-hop and then they hear my music and there's hip-hop in it, then they're like, "Wait, I kinda like this too, but this isn't hip-hop. Is that OK?"
On her band with Cottontale and forthcoming projects:
Our next project we're gonna pull in my whole band and we're gonna do a live project. My engineer worked out something with us, and he's gonna record it, I'm really excited. Our band's called the Secret Garden; they always perform with me when I have shows, but we haven't actually recorded with the band.
Both of us have been wanting to do a live project for so long. Our first project together is a whole live album that just never got released, and it probably will never get released. I kinda wanna save it and rerecord it when I'm on a bigger level.
I've been working with a couple different artists and a couple different producers as well. Thelonious Martin and I, we did a song together a while ago, and I think we're gonna do a couple more. I don't know if it's gonna be a project or just random releases, but I know we're gonna do more work together. The Gift and I have been talking about working together for a long time. I'm not sure when that's gonna happen, we have so many rough drafts down. We just haven't finished them just 'cause he's really busy being awesome with Rockie [Fresh] and being all famous and everything, which is good for him.
I also have some music I'm working on with Quincy McCrary, who is Mayer Hawthorne's keyboard player. We linked up randomly; I went to a Mayer Hawthorne show, and my friend that was with me went up to them after, like, "You need to listen to her sing, she's so good." And they're like "Yeah, OK, whatever." Her and the keyboard player exchanged numbers just on some music stuff cause she plays trumpet and she was trying to convince them to have a jam session with us whenever Mayer Hawthorne was in town.
We were in Milwaukee this past summer, which is where I'm originally from, and they were in town. I guess they had a longer layover—like a day layover or something—and so Quincy texted her, "Hey, I'm actually free, if you guys want to hang out." And so he came over to her place and there's a big grand piano in her living room, and so she like convinced him to play.
We finally started doing this jazz standard and he like stopped and was like, "Oh, you actually do this." It was pretty cool though 'cause I think he just didn't believe that I was serious about it, I was like, "Yeah, this is what I do, let's make music." I was out in LA in October and we finished one song and it's awesome. It's probably one of my favorite things that I've recorded, but I just don't know what I'm going to do with it, cause I really want to do more with him and it has like the old-school soul sound to it, so I'm really excited about that as well.

EMILY: What is it?
LORELAI: Blueberry shortcake.
EMILY: I've never heard of blueberry shortcake.
LORELAI: Yeah, it's a Stars Hollow specialty.
EMILY: Why is it already cut?
LORELAI: It's left over. From the wedding. At the inn.
EMILY: Yes, I know where the wedding was.
LORELAI: Oh, sorry. You were just doing that staring thing.
EMILY: You brought us used dessert?
LORELAI: It's not used. It's left over.
EMILY: How nice. I'll just put it in the kitchen next to my half-empty box of Cheer.
LORELAI: (whispers to Rory) She's in a good mood tonight.
Life is short, talk fast.
Hi everyone!
Once I read an interview of Lauren Graham about how she dealt with the fact that she had to talk really fast during the show (Gilmore Girls).
Can you please help me retrieving it? I would be very thankful for this!
Let's start 2014 in the best way possible

Imagine a day in the not-too-distant future when your car will alert you to a dangerous condition a mile ahead so you can slow down pro-actively or take an alternative route.
Or sensors detect abnormal wear on your brakes and the car automatically arranges for an appointment at your repair shop and even checks the parts inventory at the shop to make sure there will be no delay in getting the brake job done. Continue Reading »

Despite an impressive track record of pioneering technology, today's consumer electronics industry finds itself in the throes of a of massive transformation, driven by the proliferation of Internet-enabled devices that offer new intelligence and connectivity rivaling the ubiquity of electricity.
The tectonic shift is compelling electronics companies to search for new and sustainable growth opportunities as they set course to ride the next wave of the Internet of Things. The solution for a growing number of companies lies in the increasing possibilities of data analytics and cloud computing. Continue Reading »

In a recent New York Times article, reporter James Glanz asks: "Is Big Data an Economic Dud?" Mr. Glanz seems to answer his own question skeptically. The "data era," he suggests, will not match the earlier revolutions in manufacturing, domestic life and transportation.
In addition, the Wall Street Journal posted a blog discussing that Big Data is at, or near the peak of the Gartner "hype cycle" and "big data technologies are now soon to be due for a fall into the 'trough of disillusionment.'" Continue Reading »

Think you only interact with software on your computer? Consider this: a vast majority of the machines and devices you interact with every day – from your car to your coffee maker – are software based. Countless hours were poured into developing the software that makes these products run smoothly, but one single misstep in thousands, if not millions of lines of code can result in improper stopping power or a cool cup of coffee.
At Danfoss, we make products that save energy, costs and reduce the CO2 emissions of our customers. These products are used in areas such as cooling food, air conditioning, heating buildings, and controlling electric motors. As we produce smarter products, we face a new reality: with innovation comes more code. And more code means greater room for error. So, our challenge is to address this complexity within our devices – and the increasing interactions between mechanical, software and electrical components – without slowing development, raising risk, or escalating costs.

3D printing, intelligent robotics, and open source hardware are three emerging technologies that stand to revolutionize modern-day manufacturing. These disruptive forces will usher in a new manufacturing paradigm that is managed by software and data files – something we call the "software-defined supply chain."
For more than a year, my colleagues and I have been carefully studying the likely impact and implications of these technologies. We wanted to see if these new technologies could alleviate many of the constraints and the fixed costs of a traditional supply chain, and if so, to what extent? To verify this, we built an integrated supply chain model and then tore apart a series of electronics items – including a mobile phone, a hearing aid, a washing machine, and an industrial display.

With all the hype around cloud computing you'd be forgiven for thinking that it's reached saturation. The truth is, for enterprises, it's just beginning to take hold.
Industry watchers tell us that public cloud services will reach $131 billion in 2013. By comparison, this year enterprise IT spending will reach $3.7 trillion. In other words, we've barely scratched the surface.
On Tuesday, IBM, already one of the world's largest cloud computing vendors, announced an agreement to acquire SoftLayer, the world's largest privately held cloud infrastructure provider.
The acquisition is intended to speed IBM's ongoing focus the Fortune 500, which have yet to capitalize on cloud computing, as well as expand our reach to new clients including born-on-the-web companies. Continue Reading »

Don't Give Up
If the Chargers fall behind in this game, Chip Kelly's offense will allow us to get right back in the game. Just look at how close Washington came to bringing that ballgame back on Monday Night. The Chargers can pull off the comeback this time if they need to.
Protect Philip Rivers
The Eagles are aggressive on defense and will be sending the blitz from all angles. They will send 6 or 7 players on that blitz and the Chargers will need to make sure to pick up the guys that are coming through. They also better be prepared with the hot read on some plays. Danny Woodhead could be a huge player in this passing game out of the backfield for the team.
Protect Football
NO TURNOVERS!! We have to protect that football. The interception last week was death. Ryan Mathews did a good job of holding onto the football, even with the Texans ripping away hard at the football all game long. The Eagles and everyone else in the league will have that same gameplan. Hold onto the football.

The young American bass Kevin Burdette has already impressed audiences on both sides of the Atlantic with his mellifluous voice and strongly dramatic characterizations. The San Francisco Chronicle called his Leporello in Don Giovanni"a tour de force of vocal splendor and comic timing." Featured as Stefano in Adès' The Tempest with the Metropolitan Opera, the DVD on Deutsche Grammophon was awarded a French Diapason d'Or, and the audio recording on Naxos has won a 2014 Grammy Award, "Best Opera Recording."
In summer of 2014 Kevin Burdette returns to Santa Fe Opera as Herr Puff in Mozart's The Impresario and Chamberlain in Stravinsky's Le Rossignol. In the 2014-15 season he sings Bartolo in Il barbiere di Siviglia with Opera Philadelphia, Beck Weathers in Talbot's Everest with Dallas Opera (world premiere), and returns to Boston Lyric Opera as Leporello in Don Giovanni. His 2013-14 engagements included his return to the Metropolitan Opera in Shostakovich's The Nose; Sergeant of Police in The Pirates of Penzance with Portland Opera; Ko-Ko in The Mikado with Opera Memphis; Osmin in Die Entführung aus dem Serail with Opera Grand Rapids; as soloist in Mozart's Requiem with Grand Rapids Symphony; in Messiah with Seattle Symphony and with the Duke Chapel Choir; Dulcamara in L'elisir d'amore with San Diego Opera; and in a fully staged production of Gruber's "Gloria, a Pig Tale" with the New York Philharmonic.

It was one of those therapy sessions that was sorely needed. The holidays have just ended which also involved my son's first birthday and the Munchkin's third birthday. Oh, two visits in two months time. L's first meeting with J, D and the Munchkin. Let's not forget that was my first time seeing L since April of 2003. The whole Associated Press ordeal which included both praise and fallout. My D&C and hysteroscopy and most recent news from the doctor. It's been a crazy two months… without therapy.
Today I was allowed to sit on a couch, clutch a pillow and spill my guts. Oh, what a relief. I talked about how all of the above mentioned hoopla combined with the day-in and day-out life of a Mom, wife, daughter, friend, etc, has taken me to a point of total saturation. That's right folks, I'm overwhelmed. To the extreme. On the other hand, I'm so darn busy that I don't have time to be anxious about normal (or unknown!) things. Silver lining?
After I got through discussing emotions that I haven't really discussed with anyone else, I just sat back to breathe. Therapist Lady went on to point out a few things, reminded me of some good and cleansing coping techniques and reminded me that except for being a good Mother and a good wife, the rest of this stuff is all a decision. I can either decide to do it or decide not to do it. I don't have to be the spokeswoman for every single thing that I do. Sometimes I can just, literally, be a member of the choir. I don't have to sing a solo with a cold. Sometimes I can just be a birthmom without being in every paper from Maine to Seattle and back. Sometimes I can just sit quietly. Or, even take a nap! (Which I was encouraged to do after last night's no sleep fest in this household. Oh, teething.) I don't have to be everything to everyone. I don't have to be anything to anyone. I just have to be me.
It's encouraging to be reminded of such important life lessons. I've been in overdrive for the past two and a half months, trying to get everything done. And perfectly. A lot has gone on, even within my adoption journey. And I admitted to my therapist: I haven't even had time to process things like how L's visit with Munchkin made me feel, the anger I feel over some things that were said on a visit and you know, being a birth mom entering her fourth year of grief. I just haven't taken the time to process any of it.
So, in this next month, that's what I'm supposed to do. Breathe a little. Process the emotions that I've just kind of shoved off to the side and come to some conclusions about myself, my future goals with various relationships and, in general, take naps. (Really! My therapist said so!)
I didn't get answers as to why I feel like I feel after these past few visits. I got challenges to look deeper, reconnect with people and have some intense conversations. Sometimes, just sometimes, I think answers would be easier. But then what would I learn? Oh, therapy.

PITTSBURGH (93-7 The FAN) — Pirates Announcer Greg Brown joined Seibel, Starkey and Miller on Sportsradio 93-7 The FAN for his weekly chat, and talked about the importance of the two games left in the Pirates and Cardinals series.
Brown talked about where it all went wrong in game one of the series, and how important a win tonight and tomorrow would be for the teams chances at a real playoff race.
In order to win those games though, the team will need its key players to bust out of their recent slumps, and Brown says he isn't ready to rule out a young guy getting called up and making a large impact down the stretch.
We wrapped things up with Brown discussing Neil Walker's tightness in his back and what him being out of tonight's lineup means for his availability over the next few days.

Former Baltimore Raven safety Ed Reed, who signed a contract with the Houston Texans this offseason says he may not be ready for the season opener on September 9th, namely due to an injury he suffered because of New England Patriots quarterback, Tom Brady.
During the AFC Championship game between the Patriots and Ravens, Brady was flushed from the pocket with Reed giving chase. Brady slid to avoid the tackles from Reed and other Ravens, but stuck his foot in the air, clipping Reed in the process, a play that the Ravens felt was dirty:
The NFL did as well, fining Brady $10K.
Now Reed says the reason he may not be ready for the season is because of that play and Brady.
Per the AP:
"The only play I could look at is when I got kicked by a certain quarterback," Reed said referring to Brady. "But even then, I played in the Super Bowl and you saw what happened there."

TimeformUS Saturday Stakes Plays from Keeneland, Hawthorne, and Aqueduct read blog
Todd Pletcher-trained filly makes first start in nearly nine months in six-furlong test at Aqueduct Racetrack April 19.
Led by a $260,000 Cherokee Run mare, the Keeneland November sale racked up more gains at Saturday's fifth session Nov. 9, and surpassed 2012's total gross with six days left in the auction.
After starting slowly, the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky November sale took off after about two hours, with two mares bringing in excess of seven figures in quick succession.
