I just had a conversation with a friend about this! I have huge issues with jumping jacks, and sometimes crunches as well.

Drinking a cup right now, actually. Just picked up a new kind called Winter Spice... not too bad.

Maybe the doctor was concerned with things like head lice or something? I can see how maybe brushing your hair might help prevent those types of things...

I'm 27, and my 4 year old says things like that to me all the time. It hurts, but try not to let it discourage you. You can do this, for yourself and for your 5 year old!

I want to join!

Ya, like she said, there are several things to take into account. If it is high blood pressure that is being caused by weight, then the most obvious thing is to lose weight. The best way for someone with high blood pressure to do this is portion control, like she said, but also controlling your sodium intake. Sodium is one…

This too!

I used to hate exercise, but now I love it!

I came up with this name about 10 years ago, when I had my daughter, and it is something I've just stuck with ever since.

I do my elliptical 6 days a week, and I do my own strength training probably 3 days out of those as well. I am sure it isn't as intense as the program's, but I think that as long as your body can handle it, and you are eating enough to keep up with it all, then go ahead and do it that way. You will know if you need to make…

Mine is 150, but I have a large frame. I know that anything under that and I would start to look gross.

Sugar from fruits and vegetables isn't really the same as the sugar you are putting in your coffee, but this site puts them all under the same category. If you are concerned about it, pay attention and take out the sugar that is coming from those and see what you are left with. Besides that, nuts are a good choice, and…

Drinking tea right now, actually! One of my favorites is the Sugarplum one that comes out around Christmas. Also love Chai, so I am going to have to check out this pumpkin spice chai everyone is talking about!

If this is the case, then you are right on track! I've been doing this for months and just now hit 20 pounds (only 12 since I started this site).

I was a good 75 pounds overweight when I started and it has always had me at 1200 calories. So it might be the same for her.

I was thinking the same thing!

It has never alotted me more than 1200, but I started at a lower weight. I am not sure how it comes up with the numbers, but it is perfectly healthy. Just maybe try out some different foods and try to find some that are healthy and filling, so that you don't get as hungry.

I want a stationary bike, an exercise ball, and some new weights since I can only find one of mine atm.

Ya it just takes it back out of your weight lost. I would log it, because that is what you are.

Interesting...

I have to disagree with those who said eating healthy is cheaper. Just compare the cost of hamburger, or regular ground turkey vs. lean ground turkey. I might be able to come out even if it was just myself, but I know that for feeding my family of 6, it is far more expensive now that I am trying to watch the intake than it…

I think the percentage is way off, cause I know that I have tried losing by just eating healthy many times and have never been able to. And weight loss itself, ya you could say that, but to do it correctly you want to build up some muscle along with losing the fat, or you are just going to be incredibly weak and skinny.…

What they said. And I hate hazelnut anything, so I can't stand the stuff. Stick with the peanut butter.

Agreed! I know I can't complain because my health care is free, but doing anything besides seeing my normal doctor is like pulling teeth!

I was thinking that he wasn't much bigger than the girl! But I think he is supposed to be showing her how to do it, hence the reason he is lifting the same weight as her.

If you like sweeter popcorn, kettle corn is also typically a bit healthier than regular butter popcorn. My husband and I share a bag almost every day for a snack after dinner.

Maurices. Even when I wasn't fat, but they have plus sizes as well now.

What they said. I also tend to eat lemons alot when I am hungry.

My cousin said something like this to me just a few weeks ago, that women either lose weight to keep a man or get a new one. I laughed at him and told him that was stupid., but I guess he isn't the only one who thinks that way. I know I am not losing weight for either of those reasons. I have been married almost 10 years…

HAHAHA I laughed out loud.
