congrats! on your success! what about the parking lot, park your car furthest from the buidling and take a brisk walk to get in. if you have a choice between elevator or climbing stairs, take the stairs and again pretend like there is a fire. check on the internet for exercises that you can do sitting at your desk. no you…

hi, welcome. when you have quite a bit of weight to lose that mountain seems insurmountable to climb. even though you have a long range goal. set your sights on little wins along the way and reward yourself with a makeover or getting your nails done or a new outfit. after 60 days on my program i got my hair done and it was…

hi roberlie, you must have had your children when you were young. my children are grown too. welcome!

if when you are doing the exercises you feel the burn then it must be doing something. i recently got the bean and i definitely feel the burn. i also got the exercise bands for it and i use it during my strength training circuits each morning.

i agree with cardgrl. i used to take fat burners and i tried a variety. since memorial day i have been eating healthy and i haven't been taking vitamins and i have more energy than before. i feel the best thing to do is to eat lean and the fat will come off without alli. i don't know what an oil leak is but it doesn't…

my personal trainer recommends two rest days during the week for you body to remodel and recover. instead of exercising every day why don't you increase your workout time to 45 min -60 min per day? you don't necessarily need to do it all at once, there are benefits to 30 min spurts at a time.

some meal plans call for 4 oz and some call for 5 oz.

thankx for the recipe. the already made stuff is too high in calories. i'll try this. during colder months its nice to have soup.

i substituted ground turkey for ground beef a long time ago. I like the jennie o ground turkey breast. you might try it. when i did it my kids were still at home. i never told them and they never knew the difference and i had piece of mind it was healthier.

an important factor to keep in mind is these people on that show are working out more than 4 hours every day and vigourous exercise. the average person does not work out to that extent however i increased my workout from 30 min of 5 ciruits strength training and 30 min of cardio to 30 min of 5 circuits strength training…

why don't you eat six small meals each day : 3/4 c granola cereal for breakfast, 1 apple, 1/2c cottage cheese for snack, pb sandwich on whole wheat bread for lunch, 1 c cantaloupe for snack, chicken salad with dates and olives for dinner, an orange for a snack? you can go to crosscrunch.com or jillianmichaels.com. it…

marketing is simply designed for companies to sell more product and make more money. i know a woman that recently had lypo done and after a month she commented that she was a whole size smaller and still did not have a boyfriend. that is what marketing does. psychologically the subliminals are if i eat there, i will look…

Today i completed level 2 strength training circuits-5. that was 30 minutes. i did 30 min of belly dancing and 35 minutes of leg and glute workout on the treadmill.

i found a website today: www.dlife.com and it had a recipe for one-serving chocolate cheesecake. the total calories for one serving are only 100. i made it and had it and it is delic. sometimes recipes that are low cal are poor tasting but this tastes like a decadent piece of dessert. this is something you could serve as…

do you have your eye firmly affixed to your goal? and do you have your goal broken down into smaller goals that you will reward yourself and not with food when you achieve that goal...........like buying a new workout outfit, or buying a new outfit or going to get your hair done or nails done and take a girl friend and…

i completed 5 circuits of strength training level 2 took 30 min, taebo advanced 60 min and 30 min treadmill running program speed up to 7.0 and incline up to 10.0.

you'll need a meal plan to keep your calories at 1200 per day and an exercise plan. one that builds muscle and burns fat.

just put into your browser low fat or no fat recipes and you get a number of great sites. if they don't give you a calorie count go to king calorie and you can get the breakdown.

everyone is tempted. just reset the date of your goal. with this fitness equipment if you use it to challenge yourself shortly your body will put your goal into auto pilot and your mind won't be such a temptation like it is now. on the biggest loser program the personal trainers suggest instead of comfort eating replace it…

HI, i know its not pleasant news but your doctor knows in a typical pregnancy if you do well with your weight you could gain 24 lbs. pregnancy weight is harder to lose than just dropping lbs now. did she give you a plan of action to accomplish your goal?

i agree with the water chick. she's right drink a lot of water and you will be drinking less soda.

yesterday was that time for me. it used to be when i weighed more that i would get severe cramps or a severe headache. its wild but those symptoms went away with my weight loss. i still tend to be more emotional and yesterday i was tempted to use it as an excuse not to work out and what spurred me on was the knowledge that…

many politicians failed many times before they succeeded. you don't give up the goal, you reset the date. fear is an acronym for false evidence appearing real. anyone can eat an elephant a bite at a time. whatever you do , don't give up.

last year at this time i was taking a ski day. yesterday it snowed in del norte, co. the weathe is cool and the aspens are turning. i'm hoping in the next week or two i will be skiing. i usually ski until may and i'm looking forward to it, especially now since my ski outfits fit me really well.

are you getting enough fruit in your diet? why do you drink wine?

what is the zone diet? were you eating six small meals a day? check out some of the posts there are suggestions for keeping your calories at 1200 stay on it for a two week period and you won't be hungry any more. i think i stopped feeling hungry after the first few days and the results were great.

you will want to do something to build muscle at the same time. check out some of the posts, there are some excellent meal plans.

i'm an x smoker. stopped 18 yrs ago. my reflection on a very poor habit. i feel it was the most stupid thing i have done. if i could take a time traveling delorian and go back in time, i would not start.

be pleased with your results but you will not continue to lose 8 lbs a week. why don't you share your meals and exercise with us?

try 1 1/2c plain yogurt 1/4c granola 1/2 banana
