I am also a full time mummy. Workouts at the park are the BOMB! While the kids play... jog around them, grab the monkey bars and do your thing on them.. Go on the swings,... engaging your core while you swing , and you feel great. While you push them on the swing, squat down and then up again. Girl. we gotta make this…

Shovav's advice is very valuable. Keep reminding yourself that you are beautiful, that Rome was not built in one day or thirty for that matter... It took a while for you to get to the point where you said ' thats enough, I am gonna change" and it will also take time to get to where you want to be. All genuine things do.…

Tried an awesome soup yesterday and it had.. get this... 180 calories total in 1.5 cups... and best part.. its simple to make and tastes so goooood! The left overs, if heated in a pot and not a microwave is awesome too... Had it today for lunch. If you have an Asian market around you can find everything needed for this…

Yeah chick,.... you are not the only one passing through that valley. I have recently started on here as well and have adjusted my diet, I do drink lots of water take in a lot of fiber, yet the washroom time has not been as regular. You are actually the second person that I have seen on the forum with that kind of concern.…

I actually find that chewing gum helps me... now that I have cut back on refined sugars, it helps me when I get those sugar cravings. I am sure it can get you gassy.. but its either a bit of gas or calories that I don't want or need being put in instead. Its a safe way, I find, to keep your mouth occupied. :)

If you are okay with sweet peppers, fresh red onions, fresh tomatoes diced, thyme and a sprig of lemon .. toss these in a frying pan, saute it with a dash of olive oil, throw in your tuna... and you have a nice filling meal with a slice of toasted multigrain bread. One thing about the tuna.. when you open the tin, use the…

See how this works,maybe these cells would help to contribute to a natural healthy gut flora for you. This may also address the…

Gotta just love those kiddies. I have two myself. Recently joined up with this site and have found that doing cardio is very good to generally melt the fat off your body in an even way. If you are doing some ab toning, don't just ' spot exercise" with ab crunches, but rather mix it up with some kind of cardio... eg:…

Agree that its better to go with direct measurements rather than what the scales are telling you. I am in almost the same situation where I found that, rather than lose the weight, the scales were saying that I gained. Frustrated me to no end. My friend here ( Gary44) lost 62 pounds just by watching what he ate each day…
