I totally get it. Not with chocolate, but I'm like a crack addict when it comes to candy. I used to buy several bags and eat them all, then hide the wrappers. I still avoid it because I don't think I could eat just one.

You are short so the scale won't move as fast as it does for taller people. Keep in mind that 5lbs. Goes a long way on your frame. Taller people can't even notice a 5 lb. loss.

I think I'm in love!

If you're getting the pulp, it isn't really juicing. You are drinking smoothies, even if they are vegetables. With juicing you are infusing your body with much more of the nutrients at a time. Smoothies fill you up with less produce because you are also getting the bulk. I did a 10 day juice fast last year and it was…

You CAN train your tastebuds. I used to only be able to eat broccoli if it was drowned in butter or cheese. I forced myself to eat it without either one and experimented on ways to cook it. Now I like plain ole broccoli. I can't imagine covering it with butter or cheese now. I've disliked tomatoes my whole life. I'm…

I'm still in stage 1 of NROL. I enjoy it so far and it almost doesn't seem like exercise to me. I know it gets more intense as you go along.

Lots of folks drink smoothies. It's a quick easy way to get your veggies and fruit. And many people feel raw food is better for you than cooked food, so there's that. I may not be in the mood or have time to chew up a bunch of spinach and raw carrots, but I can throw it in a blender and drink a 'milkshake'. It IS solid…

I wish it was that simple. I'm sure I don't burn as many as someone much younger and stronger. Every week I'm able to apply myself more and more so I know my calorie burn is growing as well.

I'm on my second round and really like this program. It simplifies your eating and meal planning and keeps you on track for not only eating correct portions, but the correct amounts of protein, carbs, and fats in relation to one another. If you're a visual person like I am, the color containers just make this easier for…

I completed my first 21 days last Thursday and am starting again today after taking several days off. I've still been eating sensibly and doing occasional yoga but not the intense workouts (intense for me, that is.) It was a great motivator for me. While free is usually better, if I pay money for something, I know I'm…
