meal plans aren't one size fits all. i joined jillianmichaels.com, she is a fitness trainer for the biggest loser program. prior to getting a meal plan you are quized on what type of oxidizer you are and then the meals are geared towards that . also the weight training i do works shoulders and triceps and abs same day and…

i'm in. today was a rest day and tomorrow besides my five circuits for weights i am going to do an hour on the treadmill. who's up for that challenge?

chocolate pudding will satisfy a sweet tooth, its only 140 calories. of course some theories are if you want something like that indulge yourself once in a while. or another suggestion is a weight watcher desert. they will run 200-261 calories where the real mccoy is usally double that. or have what is on your mind and…

i have a recipe for a peanut butter smoothie. i haven't tried it yet but somedays it sounds good.

negative calories are when you eat an orange for example that costs you 50 calories and once eaten it burns its own calories plus 25 more. those are called negative calories. i would speculate that possibly its a diet high in carbs: fruits, vegetables. whenever i am getting close to my calories for the day and i am hungry…

that is good advice. you do need to be careful not to reduce your calories below 1200-1400 per day. if you increase your workout and make sure you are really challenging yourself in your workouts. that is key. changing your exercise helps keep your workout fresh and not become boring or routine. participating in sports is…

its amazing to me how well our bodies respond to eating healthy. we have been so brainwashed by the marketing that food companies do. for a great meal plan check out crosscrunch.com i have been watching the biggest loser program and health issues like asthsma and high blood pressure, diabetes all go away with weight loss.

what is your calorie intake each day? what is your workout program like? check out crosscrunch.com free website for meal plans for 5 weeks. if you are not weight training start by doing 5 circuits with two sets of weight training exercises 3 reps of 10 and in each circuit 1 min of jumping jacks or 1 min of jumping rope.…

kudos to you. congrats on great success! i bet you feel better about yourself too. of course when i started to drop the weight what helps from time to time with your motivation is try the clothes on that you are too big for and look in the mirror. it is especially helpful when you think that you still have a long way to…

increase your workout. 3 - 30 minute running programs on the tread mill will significantly reduce your calorie intake. in fact that will burn 1200 calories right there. you could also help your calorie intake out by getting the burger and substituting the fries for a side salad and getting a bottle of water instead of…

hi julie, welome

taking along snacks that are healthy is a great idea. you can stop at safeway and get hot soup that is healthy. you can also get celery and carrots for one to go, etc. they have a great selection. subway wil let you make any sandwich into a salad and they have baby spinach leaves as well. ocassionally i will get their…

good luck on your goal and your liver transplant.

Today I went to try on jeans. I do this once a month and i had two pairs of jeans in the fitting room and tried on one pair and said to myself " man these must be a small size 13" when i looked at the tag, because they fit real good and the tag said 11 I wanted to jump up and down. The first thing I did was call my mom and…

hi amanda keep me posted for your trainer's recommendations. i always like to compare notes and getting fresh ideas is great! welcome! -Pam

try the bean at bean.com; its supposed to be great for back pain. also when you do exercises it allows you to feel the burn without the neck strain, etc. i bought it a couple of weeks ago and i can see a difference in my stomach from doing abs on it.

to get your calories eat foods like orange, apple, baby spinach leaves 2 cups, 1/2 cup cottage cheese and 1/2 cup grapes, celery and baby carrots, 10 whole cashews and an apple. go to crosscrunch.com for more suggestions. that should help you.

Welcome Alice, this is an awesome site.

its not just msg, its the sweetner in diet drinks as well. a man wrote a book "I'm Fat and It's All Your Fault" in that book he lists 10 foods to stay away from. since i have left processed carbs alone I have seen better results from my workouts and other benefits like being able to grow my nails long without chipping or…

if you feel deprived it is easier to go off the wagon so to speak. there are lo cal deserts that taste great. like chocolate pudding in a cloud. take a glass and line it bottom and sides with whipped cream than make chocolate pudding and put it in and chill. one 6oz glass has 100 calories. if you want that piece of…

i get a lot of inspiration from the biggest loser program.

hi two things, for food check out a great menu at crosscrunch.com and second thing check out the bean, i believe it is at www.bean.com, besides great for workouts it will relieve back pain.

right on, from my understanding there are a lot of milk alternatives like rice milk, coconut milk, soy milk, etc. thankx for the recipe.

if you do eat any type of potato you should also eat a handful of pistachios and your body will digest the potato more slowly. i also feel eating lean and watching your proportions is key. americans are so geared to overeating that when you actually look at 3/4 cup of cereal it seems like a baby bowl but that actually is a…
