Ok,Great Thank you!

Hi! I'd like to join! So please add me :)

Wow! Congrats!! Thanks for being an inspiration!

I usually eat lots of chicken, fish ( not breaded) and turkey for protein add a veggie with every meal you can and some fruit if you like ( they say berries are lowest in sugar) and those are some of the healthy types of food. My problem is my carb intake is sometimes too high :( but I'm working on it :smiley: love my…

Awesome! Congrats on your success!

You can add me as well I'm having the same issues could use more motivation too :)

Hi and welcome back! And I haven't lost a boyfriend but I have lost a loved one ( my mom) and a couple of ex- husbands that were cheaters so I understand your pain :( if you want to add me as a friend I'm available :smiley: Have a Good One!

I agree with all the comments above, I also use DVD workouts at home and my favorites are The Firm which combines your cardio with weight training, Prevention with Chris Freytag who's videos are a lot of fun, and Leslie Sansone has a lot of upbeat dvds like the burn and firm 30 DVD and the Hiit DVD which is High Intensity…

I don't usually do a cheat day because the lesson learned for me was I cheated last week with 2 cocktails and a moderately fattening dinner ( mexican enchiladas with rice and beans but made sure only 1 enchilada and 1/2 cup rice and beans) ate a large salad with it all and next day I gained 2lbs! So I told myself until I…

Thanks!

I haven't tried zumba in classes but I have a couple of zumba dvds and they are a lot of fun but admit some are very fast paced and you sweat your butt off lol! So I would say go for it! Have fun try it I think you'll be pleasantly surprised! :0)

Thanks for all the advice everybody! I'll try some of the suggestions and see if anything changes. How do I open my diary? Thanks for the info :)

Do you think it's possibly hormones fluctuating? Just a thought :) plus sometimes I wonder if stress effects in that area too...

You can go on Larry North's 7 day size down which promises a loss in one dress size but you must follow the diet exactly and workout everyday which is easy exercise routine ( walk, pushups, situps, lunges, and squats. It says at the end of one week you should be down 1 dress size as long as you follow exactly the system…

Is there any way you can check with your neighbors about a walking program? Or check out Leslie Sansone website she may have connections on that too. Also if you belong to a church see if any members will walk with you.Good Luck to the both of you! :)

I'm so sorry to hear that, unfortunately they say a lot of it stems from insecurity of change and sometimes jealousy because they can't or won't change to help themselves get healthy. Just keep your chin up and pressing on things will get better :)

I'm not sure either I think one way to compare is use the old fashioned pedometer to clip to your body and check them in comparison

That's the lesson I've learned too so I reduced my calorie intake stopped going by calories allowed on my diary when I add my workout time and go by the 1200 per day until I get my weight off.

As like so many said here all the above is important and useful and maybe try to change just one thing for a week and see how you do, but I still believe combining cardio and weights is important to not lose your muscle mass while dropping weight. So many that have done just cardio sometimes don't like the way their shape…

I'm not sure why you would want to do a 3 day split, maybe just put your cardio and strength training together such as The Firm Dvds they combine both and have modified movements for days you don't feel good ( I have psoriasis arthritis so I understand where you're coming from) other than that maybe check for advice from…

I said no to chocolate cake and had fruit instead out of my sugar free fudgesicle oops gotta get some more that really helps with cravings for me.

Sure! You can add me too mines open as well :)

I'm also doing the 21 day fix and wonder if the calorie intake is too low on protein according to the containers the protein is a 1/3 cup 4 times a day for 1200 -1499 calorie intake I thought it would be the size of a small chicken breast but it's actually only about half of that.

It all depends on if you are trying to lose weight the slow and steady path or faster plus if you workout too much and aren't feeding the body properly with the right nutrition experts say that can be detrimental. If your feeding your body right one day of rest is ok and if you're seeing the results you want then I would…

Hi! Would like to be added as a friend too :) I workout 6 days a week 30 to 50 minutes a day and get my weight training from The Firm Dvds and usually do those every other day and walking workouts like Leslie Sansone the alternate days or Preventions Dvds which are a lot of fun when Chris Freytag is the instructor :)!

Count me in too need all the help I can get!

Hi! I'm in too if you would like to add me :) although my goal is to lose 50lbs hopefully by the end of this year. But at this time I'll take whatever I can get lol!

Sounds yummy! Could you tell me what slow carb means? Thanks! I'm eating low carb high protein, veggies, and 1 or 2 pieces of fruit mini meals 4 times a day and I've only lost 1 pound argh!! So would love to try something that might jump start my weightloss better. ( I'm in menopause now so thinking that has some to do…

Hi ZeroTx! I just wanted to say congrats on your weightloss! You can do anything you put your mind too and I understand where you're coming from because it's been hard for me to lose weight too. Have a Great Day and keep up the good work!
