I tried those. They weren't the right ones. It was a scam that SAID they were using the correct amount of raspberry Ketone. They were cashing in on Dr. Oz's show. They weren't the same things he was talking about.There is NO easy way. Eat better food & no overly processed junk. Good protein & lots of veggies/some fruit.

I read That if you have at least 30g of protein in the morning that will keep you satisfied with a medium meal at lunch & a light meal at dinner. At night people are usually less active & don't get their meals digested before they sleep which encourages weight gain. I've been told that carbs at night aren't a good idea…

I understand what you are saying . But I have to agree with all these other posts. At least these people are going in the right direction. I also think you should focus on you. I'd just encourage the other people & not suggest what their goals should be.

Tomorrow I am going on vacation. It's been a while since I've been to the beach for a week. I am down 5.6 pounds in under 3 weeks. Sunday will be 3 weeks. I am hoping to be down 7 pounds or more by Sunday. That will put me at 150. I know I'll be at 152 by tomorrow morning.

It is definitely a mind set. I know it is hard at 1st. But if you continue it will become a habit. I have found that I cannot keep any foods that are not good for me in the housed. I would sabotage myself too. During the winter I made soups for the week so I would come home & have dinner already made. All I had to do was…

2 days 'til I go on vacation. IDK if they have computer access there. Xo I may be able to post again until after I get back on the 27th of May. The scale keeps going incrementally. I'm happy as long as it's going down. have had a few times when it went up. But I knew that it would considering what I ate. It went away as…

Since you are working out so much , you may be losing the fat, but gaining muscle which weighs more. Did you take measurements when you started? That will tell the whole story. If you didn't measure , I'm sure you'll be able to tell when your clothes fit better. Keep up the great job.

I just turned 59. Never too old to get healthy ;)

I've lost 5.2 pounds so far. I have about 12 more to go.to get to 140. I'm at 152.6 down from 157.8. I actually weighed more than that but didn't start this until I had lost about another 1.5 pounds. I have a couple of challenges where I was at family gatherings & didn't have many choices for eating. I did have salads &…

Thanks for posting this. You are right on the mark.

Hi- I have been checking out a lot of sources for low or no carb menus. Dr. Fuhrman springs to mind at 1st. He's got a lot of great recipes. He's vegan though & I do like meat even though I don't eat as much as I used to. I just started this program called Bodysmart solutions with the Lifeplus vitamin people. At the moment…

I agree. This was something I thought about since I was in my teens.This is an important decision to make. Someone's life is on the line here. Being the oldest of 4- I knew what it would take to take care of children from an early age. I decided that I might not have what it takes patience wise to be a good parent. I don't…

I'm hoping to lose about 15 more pounds, but 20 would be Ok too. I just started & lost 4.2 pounds since April 29th. I am just turned 59 (May 5th). 5'6" & currently 153.6pounds. Supposedly at my age & Height I should be between 135 & 145lbs. I've been bringing my lunch for a while & just started Jillian Michaels newer Kick…

No children. I made that choice 36 years ago. I have nephews & nieces. Furkids. 3 cats at the moment- My DH wants a dog. We'll see. they are higher maintenance. But walking is good for you. Dogs are great too. Didn't think I was made to be a Mom.

I had a trainer who was tiny. She lifted much higher weights 20's, 25 30....depending on what she was doing. She is toned & in great shape. Not bulky. Unfortunately she moved or I'd still be working with her.There are different ways to lift weights that can put on the bulk. It also matters what you are eating. I am…

I agree with Wolfman. the whole intake has to be considered. My Dad was diabetic too. died at 58. He smoked too. that just aggravated everything. he was a slender Man. Not over weight at all. Became diabetic in his 20's. Possibly caused by a virus that affected his Pancreas. You need veggies, fruit & protein. preferably…

I would think that Lean meat would be a great choice. I am lucky that my husband is a hunter. I get Venison & wild birds all the time- the original organic meats. I'm not a cardiologist ( or any other kind of Dr.) so I don't know why she said that. I would think animals raised w/o hormones & junk in humane circumstances…

I'm going to start the Monday of Memorial weekend. I'm doing JM's Newer version of the kick boxing. I did all 3 workouts this week & am getting a handle on that. I started to do T-25. I didn't realize how badly out of shape I was until I started doing that. I think after the JM warm up I'll be in a better place to restart…

I'm happy between 1300 & 1500 a day. Like someone else said after working out it's a little over 1200. It also depends on the quality of the calories. veggies, fruit & protein help your body feel full & make things run more smoothly ( if you get my meaning:)). You probably know this, But greens( lettuces, Kale spinach,…

I think if you are eating REAL foods that you fix yourself w/o tons of starches, it should be OK most of the time. Not processed foods . If you just have to have that pizza, spaghetti, cheesesteak sub, chocolate cake, Pina colada, etc. Eat it, drink it, enjoy it. Make sure it is really what you want. I've eaten things that…

I used to do a JM workout in the am & then cardio of some kind- elliptical, walking , bike,etc. in the afternoon. I can't believe I've gotten so far out of shape. I didn't realize how in shape I was then.

I don't think I ever had posted before. I had joined here to log food then JM added that to their site so it was better than what they had before. I used to belong to JM's site. I didn't feel like paying for it when the time came. I had gotten all these freebies from doing so much there & winning with competitive groups.…

JM has the best workouts. There are others who are really good too. But ,I just love JM. I'm doing her newer Kick Boxing DVD. It's only 20 minutes. That works for me right now. I used to workout 2 times a day. I just can't get away from work early enough to do that anymore. If I work out too late I can't get to sleep. I'm…

I was crushed when I realized I hadn't brought my knitting today.;). I'm getting better. But that isn't saying a lot. I went to an Endocrynologist who helped wean me off any Meds. Things are doing much better now. I've lost over 3 pounds since Sunday. I just have to watch my diet & work out.

People are looking for excuses NOT to eat right.IT makes them feel better to someone down who is eating better. Keep in mind that when you DON'T have Alzhiemers. diabetes, or heart problems & they do, they maybe wishing they had counted & measured what they ate.

I think doing some kind of workout will tone you really nicely Yoga, Jillian Michaels, Shawn T there are many ways to get the toned look. It really does help. Even walking can help you lose the tummy & tone your legs. Genetics has a lot to do with your body shape too. But you should be able to get a nicer shape with…

Hey- I'm back after a hiatus myself. I used to be a BIG time free weights & Jillian Michaels fan (Still am). I am almost 59( few days away) I am getting back to my eating right & exercises. I have 15 pounds to lose to get to my median suggested weight for my age & height - which is 140. I just started JM's Newer kickboxing…

I've been using JM's workouts for years. When I started( & every time I restart) I don't usually make it all the way through. Just the fact that you are doing it is great. you'll improve the more you do it. As far as good carbs- veggies & whole grains are the key. try making your own & not use things that have added…
