When I was growing up, I cannot tell you how many times I would hear my aunts say I was "chunky" or overweight. Even my mom, who truly was wonderful, because she was so hung up on her weight, was really hung up on mine. I''ve always been very muscular, and played ALOT of sports, swimming, cheerleading, dance, figure…

I think that you should be VERY proud of yourself! It's so hard when you're in a social situation like that, everyone is eating, everything looks good, and because you're usually visiting with friends alot of time you're not paying any attention to what goes into your mouth. Good job!

Stopped using ALL artificial sweeteners and went to stevia. Haven't felt this good in years. Buy yourselves a stevia plant, combine 1/2 cup shredded leaves with 1 cup warm water, (not hot) for 24 hours. Strain leaves out of mixture. 1 tsp. = 1 cup of sugar in sweetening power, it's all natural, no chemicals, my whole…

Hello!!!!!!!! Two years ago I took and actually taught Zumba for nine months. Now, I did take dance and was a cheerleader most of my childhood. It is true if you don't feel coordinated dancing you may be uncomfortable. But please don't let that stop you! Listen, 95% of the folks in Zumba classes are not NFL line dancers,…

Pickles, I can definitely sympathize with your addiction to Mtn. Dew!! With me, it was actually the diet dew. Drank it for years, and I also got headaches when I tried to stop. However, your new best friend is GREEN TEA. Green tea has natural caffeine, so it helps your body over the hump. You can brew it on your own,…

I usually roast a turkey breast on Sundays, with lots of herbs, garlic and lemon, and then I'll make wraps with it for lunch. For instance, I made one today, with 2 oz. of turkey, raw spinach, grape tomatoes, and garlic and herb feta. The wraps I use are "Ole" wraps that have 5 carbs, 12 grams of fiber, 8 grams of protein…

First of all, good for you!! I think we are the same age, and I have a total of 60-65 pounds to lose. I know all too well the struggles and heartache that come with being too heavy. It took over my life. I have lost a total of 19lbs right now, and I will be happy to support you and hang in there with you. You're not…

Good Morning!! I too, have enjoyed fiber one bars, but definitely noticed that side effect. The nutritional nurse helping me informed me it's because of the sugar-alcohols they put in bars like that (sorry I can't remember the exact name) your body has a hard time processing them. Hope that helps!
