Hi Courtney, My doctor has told me that it is better to eat a larger breakfast and/or lunch and a smaller meal for dinner. However, I think the most important thing is that you find meal sizes that feel comfortable to you and are within your daily calorie range. Also, try not to eat a large dinner too late in the evening,…

Are you able to eat sugar substitutes? (Splenda, Sweetner, etc.) What about natural sugars (like those found in honey or fruit.) Have you tried making your own sweets looking for healthier and sugar free recipes, so that you have something on hand when your craving hits? I know there are a lot of recipes out there...…

I LOVE ZUMBA!!! I took a class at my gym awhile back, and my husband bought me the game for our Playstation3 for my birthday. I love the game - its a great alternative on the days I don't feel like going to the gym or on the days when the gym is closed. How long have you been doing Zumba, have you noticed any significant…

OK, first of all WOW! You look awesome! I see a lot of people are voting for the black dress... I have to kindly disagree. I think they both look fabulous. But, I think the floral shows off your curves better AND the bright colors are more eye-catching which will draw more attention to you and your amazing progress!…

Food trucks have been popping up pretty regularly lately where I live, within the last year or so. Mostly Mexican. I haven't eaten at them much, primarily because I am trying to keep track of what I eat - if the nutritional information isn't readily available to me then I am less likely to try it! Love Greek food, and…

Hi Everyone, Thank you for the replies and great suggestions. A lot of this I already knew... packing lunches, knowing places nearby that have food that meets my needs, walking at lunch, taking the stairs (although in my new office their won't be any... which is actually kind of a bummer), parking further away for a longer…

I've heard that the Sketchers ones are really comfortable, but I don't know anyone who's really noticed any significant difference. I have a pair from Fila - not as well known, but I got them inexpensively because I wanted to try them out. At first I didn't love them, but after I'd worn them a few times they are great. I…

I've always been told that to get your most accurate weight, it should be first thing in the morning (after using restroom if necessary) before eating or doing anything to engage your muscles - ideally wearing minimal clothing. Of course, if that doesn't work for you, I think the next best thing is just to make sure its at…

I would have to agree with the other posts - although your overall size doesn't seem to have changed dramatically, it looks like you are toning up. If I were you, I would focus more on taking measurements and maybe keep a diary of how you are feeling energy-wise and use these to track your progress in addition to relying…

I live in the Cincinnati area, but my husband used to live in Springfield before we got married.

When I was in high school I used to do a lot of sit ups and crunches, used random stuff in my house for weights, and got ideas from magazines for other exercises that would be similar effects to what you might get with a machine. Also, just closing your door, turning up your favorite music, and dancing can burn some…

Based on everything I've read, its about 600-800 for an hour, but it depends on where you get the information. I've been using 11 calories burned per minute as an estimate.
