I started level 2 on Monday of last week and decided tuesday to do Level One again, haha. We just have to do what works to keep it going and avoid excuses.
  • I'm doing it. I have tried it before but didn't stick with it. I've been doing it since last monday this time around--- Im thinking about moving on to level two. My best advice it start easy--- don't use hand weights the first time you do it--- it is still a great work out and not so discouraging. Add me as a friend if you…
  • The minestrone soup is good AND it has beans (protien) and low calorie... the only tough thing will be staying away from those breadsticks.
  • My sister and I have been using this tactic (she started eating better 6months ago, I started 6 days ago hahah): If there is food on your plate and you're tempted to eat it (even though you will be over your calorie count or too full)---- something that can stop you is to visualize that food as something terrible that you…
