If it helps, I can tell you what I do. I usually take a circuit training/weight training class, or meet with my trainer a couple of times per week. In between, when I am really sore, I will use the day to just do cardio (at least 40 minutes). I kept to that regime because when I first started with my trainer, that is what…

For me its just hard being summer and all...I would much rather be outside doing something than sitting at my computer! Looking forward to keeping on track, and good luck to everyone! :smile:

Welcome back....I also just decided to come back too! :)

I follow a lot of the same tips, but I also use another tool - last year my father chose to have a form of bariatric surgery (sleeve), and lost almost 100 pounds to get back to his normal weight after 30 years of struggling. His surgeon told us that we should use the size of our hand as a guideline for how much we eat per…

Try any of Denise Austin's yoga DVD's...they are very easy to follow, and they are no longer than 30 minutes usually...I originally bought my copy at Amazon.com for cheap.

I agree...allow yourself the splurge if you have done well all week! I know I do, and I don't feel guilty about it :)

Hi there, if it helps, I find that if I do more reps with lighter weights, I get more out of my workout and you will feel the difference. Try your schedule that you listed, with more reps with lighter weights, and and on the off days, maybe walk for your cardio, since you can't run yet. I have been working with a trainer,…

I have tried several Hydroxycut products in the past and none of them worked. I felt more energetic, and I felt like I was losing pounds, but once I quit, I felt bloated a lot. I would stay away in general...there are plenty of ways blast belly fat!

I have never heard of drinking water for each additional pound you want to lose, but be careful of drinking too much water. Your body will adjust I am certain, it just might take awhile, given the amount you are drinking. Someone else mentioned that all of your fluids in a day count, and that is what I adhere to as well. I…

If it helps, I go through the same type of hectic schedule during the week. I have found that if I take a snack with me to work, like a piece of fruit and some almonds or if I increase my lunch portions, I am able to make it through my workout, and then have another light snack afterwards. Then, I am go to go until the…

Try eggs in the morning, or if you can, get your exercise in as early as possible in your day...I find that if I workout in the morning, I can get through my day without being tired, and can stick to my 1 cup of coffee a day. The eggs will keep you full until lunch or snack time, and since they are not sugary, you won't…

I make these for myself and my dad, who needs to watch his sugar. Good for a chocolate fix if you need it :-) Sugar-free No Bake Cookies 6 tablespoons sugar free Nestles Quick 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup margarine (or I can't believe it's not butter or Mooove over butter)* 1/2 cup skim milk 1 cup coconut 3 cups…

If it helps I tried it again myself last summer, and once you stop, whatever weight you think you lost you will gain back. They have changed their "formula", and it doesn't make you jittery (or at least it didn't make me jittery), and I did not find myself irritable. Bottom line, it just didn't work. Try a Whey Protein…

This is why I don't use the message boards...I just happened to check them out of curiosity. Why do all of these reponses sound so snarky?
