Thats amazing you look great thanks for the inspiration!!!

I do a 21 day Daniel Fast with my church at the beginning of every year. Google Daniel Fast or Daniel diet theres a ton of stuff on it even a book which has a bunch of recipes on it. In the bible the book of Daniel Daniel refused the Kings meat so that is what the Daniel Diet is. It's basically a vegan diet actually…

I'm eating 1600 calories a day and I eat half my exercise calories usually about 250 calories. I am losing about 2 pounds a week like this. IF or when I plateau I will change it up.

wow thats awesome I can relate sort of I am a week away from going into ... TWOderland! LOL! I have been there in many years! You are well on your way!

I tried WW twice and did the points thing. Fruit is zero point and as we all know fruit has a lot of sugar and you can't eat too much. I think calories is a little more accurate. I count only calories now and it seems to be working for me if only I can stay the course! I counted points for 2 years and just bounced up and…

At my old gym they had a 20lb weight with a string tied to a piece of broom stick and you just start rolling the string up on the stick it was a great forearm exercise would burn like heck after a few times.

I stopped eating all my exercise calories. Just eat some when I need too.

I always hear that but it sure hasn't been easy for me!!! LOL!

I work out alone but its because every work out partner I ever had always eventually starts making excuses why they can't go and they quit so now I just do it alone. And like someone said I can get in and out faster by myself.

I tried it got my first bottle from my sister who had an errrr accident at work on it and gave me a whole bottle. I did it for a few more months and quit. First off it does work if you follow the plan. You don't just eat the pills and lose weight it comes with a book and you have to diet, work out and eat no more than 15…

I read the book and followed the diet and lost a bunch of weight but like all diets for me they are hard to do for the rest of my life so as soon as I stopped I gained it all back. My doctor put me on a modified ATkin's diet which is basically the diabetes diet which is reduce carbs not eliminate them comepletely. That is…

I believe we should listen to our bodies. If I am sick it is OK to rest until I feel better. If we are sick I think it is better to nuture the body instead of stressing it with exercise.

I just started back on WW. I was on it before and lost 60 pounds and when I slacked off and quit I gained it all back. The system works if you work it ... :) But you have to work it! My friend joined with me and never tracked and he failed and quit. I have come to the realization (better late than never) that it is a life…

I can't go to a buffet anymore ... I ALWAYS say and do the same thing ... walk in swearing to myself that I will eat lots of fruits and veggies and no fried foods. Get in there and lose control, go home try and count up all the stuff I ate (if I can remember everything) be horrified at how much I ate after I add it all up,…

I have tried South Beach Diet, Mediterranean Diet even cabbage, Tomato Soup diet and the diet that comes with Alli and none have worked for me. I lose while I am on the diet but the problem is I don't stay on the diets forever and as soon as I get off them or slack off the weight comes back. It has taken me a long time to…

Hey yall took me a while to reply hadn't been online for a while. I love riding I even ride when it's cold but not lately been TOO cold! LOL! I knew I had to lose weight when I wore out a brand new back tire in 8 months I couldn't believe the new tire I bought was going bald already and the dealer told me what happened. It…
