I agree with this. Be an inspiration to her. Do your thing and brag about your accomplishments. Doing that myself I have actually gotten 3 people going on the exercise thing. One of them is in the process of fulfilling her dream of being a cop but could never pass the physical. The other is a size 24 and hit the work out…

I have been divorced for 11 years. I want to date a decent man that is attracted to me. Not a dead beat that just wants a piece of *kitten*. Plus for my health, myself and I want to be around to see my grandchildren. Last August I was told I was among the "walking dead." This year I am getting healthy and enjoy the…

100% single for a long time now

That sounds so yummy. Could probably add any kind of fruit. Thanks for sharing =)

5000 ui a day and I have not been sick since I s tarted it in July. Even a small cold when I feel it coming on usually is gone before it even sets in. It has given me more energy, boost my lack of energy and kept me from getting ill. I am a huge promoter of this and do think it is a miracle drug. LOL (or vitamin at least)…

Thank you for providing the much needed laugh :laugh:

Vitamin D has a TON of health benefits. Most people do not get enough sunlight. Vitamin D helps fight the immune system and bone density. I haven't had so much of a cold all winter. Plus it helps with energy and depression. I would drop all other vitamins I take but never Vitamin D! I know Omega-3 vitamins are very good…

I take 5000 Vit D, Vit B complex , Chromium Picolinate 1000, Multi vitamin with iron and calcium for women. I need to get Fish Oil and take that and if it lowers BP that would be a huge plus for me

I think "cheating" is a word when dieting that is purely psychological. If we deny ourselves of what we want then we will binge and never turn back or just quit. I take everything one day at a time. I make sure I get good exercise in during the week so that when situations arise I have calories from earlier in the week or…

I am usually over my protein everyday. I eat for breakfast almost everyday a protein bar or shake.

I was wondering the age. I have seen boys around my daughters age (18) and early 20s do this too.

Christy online gaming did the same to me. Along with making me anti social, lazy, unmotivated ect. It started with Star Wars Galaxies. I never played WOW due to being mad it pretty much was the end of Galaxies well that and Sony's stupidity didn't help matters. I went from SWG to other online games. Stayed from WOW because…

I used Zumba Calories.com I have an HRM but have not used it yet. I calculate off the low/medium since I can not move as fast as the instructor. I write in what to put down. It is an awesome burn and for me at least I walk away with an intense high for the rest of the day after I go. Just lots of energy and motivation and…

I usually go to the gym for Zumba so there is a group there but I prefer to at least meet someone there to keep me accountable and push me to go but lately that has not been possible so usually it is solo with a group.

I did not know what AF stands for either. If surgery wouldn't have cured me of the curse I would still do the weekly weigh ins. I want to see how much I fluctuate.

Sounds yummy going to try it right now! Was looking for something new for dinner woohoo thank you! :smile:

I use Jillian Michaels and Body by Vi. Body by Vi as a quick meal replacement when I am in a hurry with some fruit in it is great!! Jillian Michaels is inexpensive and you can get it at Walmart f or like $10.

That is exactly how I was and exactly what happened to me. I started eating breakfast the sugary snacking stopped. The high carb intake stopped. I had more energy and started losing weight. I eat protein bars and a banana or a protein shake. That was it tastes a little sweet which is what I seem to crave in the mornings…

That is so awesome. Keep up the exercise and eating healthy! Watch the sodium and drink lots of water. Above all else believe in yourself and do NOT give up, even when you feel like it! =)

If you love Zumba at home try it with a group of people. It makes it even more fun. I have no rhythm and two left feet, half the time I just do my own moves while I am trying to figure out what I SHOULD be doing. The trick it just keep moving. I love it so much. Wish I could do it everyday. I do do it 2-3 times a week.…

Oh I love acorn squash. Definitely going to try this out!!

Sodium kills me. I have it marked on here so I know how much I am getting a day. I buy a lot of Fat Free things which is going to end. To bring the taste up they hike up the Sodium. I don't even own a salt shaker. I know it is killing me losing weight. Today due to all the FF items I ate yesterday I really felt the Sodium…

If you give yourself 5-7 days with no unhealthy foods, drink lots of water, your body will purge its need for unhealthy foods. You will even find after a few weeks when you eat unhealthy foods they do not taste as good. Also I take Chromium Picolinate x2 day which helps curb the need for sugar and high carb foods.

It was an advertisement on my phone for an app and here I am =)

Read the nutritional info on the back of the package that will give you the info you need

Protein powder and bars. I use Atkins bars and Jillian Michaels powder

Thank you for your post! You just made me cry! Cuz of my "too hards" and a doctor in residency that spent 3 hours with my in August it turned me a round. Though I am not a smoker or a drinker, I was lazy, I did not think I cared, I was sedentary, I was depressed and very lonely. He told me nothing that no one else has said…

Take it slow and ease into it but be thinking ahead too. Learn to pre plan your meals and then your exercise. If you know you will have a full day with food then make the time to exercise to balance it somewhat.
