    Do you have access to a gym and free weights?

    No I do not have access to either..:0(

    Get a few Jillian Michaels DVDs and add those in with some running/walking/sprinting intervals. That's what I'm doing and it broke my plateau!!

    I just ordered 2.. 30 day shred and ripped in 30. Also considering Leslie Sansone walk away the pounds, cause I dont have much time to get out.. I have 3 children ..

    I don't know what area you are in, but some recreation centers and gyms offer childcare. I know that is the only reason I'm able to get to mine as often, and honestly, 90 minutes of "me-time" is a huge motivation to workout.

    First of all: Drink more water. Some days it's difficult, but I've found having a bottle is much easier to drink from than a cup. As soon as it's empty, go fill it up. That way it's always there, and you're always drinking.
    Secondly: You need to eat more. I started out with the same goals as you, around the same weight, but it was making me plateau early on. I realised that even though I have 60lbs to lose, trying to do 2lbs a week was too much. I managed that once, and then ended up around 1lb regardless. So I upped my calories to 1430 a day, and I'm still losing about 1lb a week. You're rarely even meeting your 1200 calorie goal, and if you're doing exercise and not eating your calories back, it's even less. Now that I'm at 1430, I don't always eat all my exercise calories, but I always try to hit the 1300 calorie mark.
    Third: Anything can be made into free weights. I don't have any either, so when I do my 30DS dvds, I'm holding two tins of tomato soup, or two bottles filled with water.

    I would probably up my exercise a bit, too, sometimes it's hard, but it can be done!

    So I decided to change my eating lifestyle as of 5/13/2012 it is 1 day shy of my 2 months..And im only down 11lbs..the scale hasn't budged in weeks. Can you guys please offer any advice on how to increase my sucess. I had a mini goal of 15 lbs by July 4th it was not met. Now I have set another mini goal for September would like to lose 20lbs. Any words of wisdom qould be greatly appreciated..

    You can't directly control the scale. Why not make your goals be things you can control? Make a goal to log accurately every day this month and to hit some activity goal each week. If you hit enough of those goals month after month, you will change your body.

    TRY SOME SASSY WATER, ITS PART OF THE FLAT BELLY DIET!, ITS GREAT TOO SASSYWATER.COM, DRINK LOT AND LOT OF WATER, EVEN REGULAR WATER, TRY TO DRINK HALF OF YOUR BODY WEIGHT.


    TRY ZUMBA 4 TO 5 DAYS A WEEK, ITS FUN, ITS A GREAT CALORIE BURN, AND ITS SHAPES YOUR BODY IN TO SEXY IN NO TIME!!

    HANG IN THERE, I HAVE ABOUT 12 TO 15LBS TOO, AND I HAVING LOST IN A MONTH NOW.

    Your advice came at a time when I thought I was a complete failure at this. Just because I hadn't seen any results in weeks, I thought I couldn't loose, and then being discouraged, I would go back to my old eating habits in a mire of depression. Thank you for helping me see the bigger picture. Now I know I'm not a failure!!!

    Look into chalean extreme, their deluxe version comes with resistance bands and resistance training will provide greater fat loss then programs like jm which are cardio based.
