I am not a scientist or a doctor so I will not speculate regarding what is good or bad. What I will share with you is my experience with Coke. I used to drink 2-3 Diet Coke's per day. I'd hear someone pop the top and my mouth would salivate for a Diet Coke. I felt 100% addicted to Diet Coke. I finally decided to go all out…

same pooch story here....little guy is almost 3 years old now and I've been unable to lose the weight I gained with him. The pouch is definitely still there. I don't really expect that it will fully go away. I just want my pooch to stop protruding under my waistline when i put on pants. it makes me look so bloated. =(

To the gal who thinks I called her fat............sorry you took that the wrong way. All I meant was that I saw a picture of myself and in my eyes, yeah, I'm fat. I guess I didn't really realize it till I saw that picture. 135 pounds on my tiny frame is a lot. It finally hit me that I am over weight and need to do…

I read a really good article about being skinny fat and it said to do plenty of weight/strength training. It said that tons of cardio will burn fat but it won't tone you, so you might still have that skinny fat look. What kind of work out regimens do you guys do re: days per week of weights versus cardio? I was planning on…

You guys are all awesome. Thanks for the advice and tips. First, to note, I am 5'2" and 135 pounds. This may not sound like a lot to some of you, but I used to be and still feel like I am 110 pounds. I feel like a 110 pound woman, but then I saw that video and realized that somehow 25 pounds have attached to me. It's weird…

awesome! that just fixed it! thanks!

yes that does make sense. so going along that line of thought (burning more calories for the rest of the day) - if I work out at 8pm am i losing the extra time in the day to burn more calories? is it more beneficial to work out at noon so my body can stay rev'd uup longer? I was really just experimenting with eating less…

Thanks for the article but I'ma fraid it didn't help me understand this. =(

I am very interested in this too. I've been considering it as well.:smile:

You are an inspriation! I am so proud of you!!!!!!!!

incredible! how liberating! you've done an awesome job!!!!!!!!!

duh........i should have caught on to that. thank you!

yes, is that why it changes? because it wants me to consume more due to exercise? i thought it was supposed to always show 1200.

i know i'm whining here, but it seems like so much effort to plan these healtier meals. once you guys got into the habit of it, does it seem less intimidating? it just seems so dang time consuming and i don't want food to consume me even more than it does now. does that make sense? i need an easy plan and all of this…

so what alternatives do you guys use for lunch meat? this was a big surprise to me as I thought I was buying the higher quality, healtheri version (at $10/lb). I buy the Boar's Head Cracked Pepper Trukey because me son loves it and refuses to eat much else. And what about rice??? Obviously stuff like Zattarain's is high…

I am 5'2" also and my weight is around 134-136 depending on the day. Other than when I delivered my son almost 3 years ago, I have never been this heavy. My goal weight is 110-115. However, the number really doesn't matter to me as much as my satisfaction with the appearance of my body. I don't care if I weigh 105 or 125…

to the original poster - i just want to let you know that you are not alone. i am the same way you are. sadly, i have gained even more weight because, as my therapist says, i have no comfort from friends or family. i basicalyl do not communicate with my family because it makes my life even ahrder when they are in it. I…

You guys are so supportive. Thank you. I think I am going to take all of you upon your suggestions. I am for sure going to watch Super-Size Me. I think I need the reality check. Also,I like the idea of cooking and packaging single servings for quick grabbing later. I also really like the idea of carrying a cooler around…

I love dark chocolate too. The bad part is that when I buy it....I eat it........and not necessarily in tiny amounts. I seem to have very little self control these days and I'm trying to figure out how to overcome that.

I went with this....... Front of bracelet (X) Weakness Is Not An Option (X) Back of Bracelet Keep Fighting The (X) is where I dropped in the Superman logos on the bracelet! LOL!

I came up with this......now I just have to see if it fits! Be Strong....Be Focused......Be Great......Be You

I'm not sure you can print pictures on the reminder bands. It looks like I can only fit like 3 words or so on it..... Not sure what to choose.

I was interested in it too, but I pulled up Amazon.com (I think it was Amazon) and the reviews were not very good. Everyone said it wasn't nearly as much of a workout as they had thought. I was bummed because I really love dancing, and would love to find more good dvd's for dance workouts at home. I did by the dvd for…

I would love to aim for this goal with you. I am planning on starting tomorrow! I am shooting for literally 30 straight days of some form of exercise!!!!

You guys are awesome!!! Thank you all sooo much!

AWESOMMMMMMMEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

does this type of stuff bulk you up? i don't so much want to look cut and muscular. i more so want it to provide energy for my workouts.

do you think the toning in itself will help burn fat? i know muscle burns fat faster, but is it actually comparative to straight cardio???

there is a nice trail that i just moved about a mile from. i didn't realize how close i was to it until this weekend. the problem i have is that my daughter goes to bed at 8:15. i think i need to extend her bedtime for my sake. she's been wishing iw ould extend it. if i did i could add another 45 minutes to the time i…

i never thought about weighting the stroller. good idea. i live right at the top of a little hill and was thinking maybe i just need to go up and down and up and down and up and down with the stroller. my neighbors will think i'm nuts but oh well.
