Love the hair!!

You can crave junk food, and think that's what your brain wants, when really your body wants sugar. So, eat natural sugar, like an apple. If I'm full and can't stand the thought of eating another bite, I'm not gonna make myself miserable by eating just to reach a number. Yeah, your body adjusts, that's why obesity rate is…

Try not to think about numbers and think about if you feel healthy or not. Just stay away from empty carbs like white bread and white rice and junk food. These foods will raise your glycemic level (blood sugar) and make you feel refreshed for a little while but you'll crash afterwards.

Well, I've been trying to get my 64 ounces in. Kinda tough though since I naturally don't drink a lot.

Are you doing 30 minutes of cardio at one time? I do 30 minutes every day but break it up in intervals. Like, morning - 10 min, Noon - 10 minutes, Evening - 10 min. Just make sure you get your protein and plenty of water after each exercise. If you eat "super foods" like eggs and yogurt and celery, they will help boost…

Thank you so much! That's really great advice!! Without your help, I probably would have tried everything at once and ended up in the bathroom all day long not knowing which thing caused it! You have a really good point. :) Just looking for some relief.

No, no! I'm using the powder! It says 2 tsp 3 times a day. I have a bad enough memory...it's hard to remember to take it that often. Maybe I'll have to up my water intake even more. I've never had a decent digestive system probably because I would never stay hydrated enough. I have noticed I get down and cranky when I…

Thank you everyone! I'm adding more greens in my diet. I didn't know about prunes, krissy. Thank you. I try to drink 4 bottles of water a day, at least. Sometimes I don't quite get enough though. And, Diana, I will definitely try the probiotics. Thank you for the info!!

I'm following a challenge I seen in a SELF magazine. It's Drop 10 and takes 5 weeks. Basically you just eat certain foods and exercise vigorously every day. So, I'm in!

Also, if he really cares about you, your size won't stop him from falling for you.

Just because he's skinny, doesn't mean he's any healthier than you.

I'm in!! My goal weight 135 Current weight 154 Would love to lose 10 pounds this month! Would love to build up my cardio and maybe try running (need to buy a jogging stroller first)

I do Billy Banks Tae Bo and about 20 minutes of it can really kick your butt. It's so fun though!

Thank you for clarifying! :-)

Hmm... Thanks so much!

What if my tea is decaf?

Thank you so much for the tips everyone. I'll try each one to see if it works!!

Maybe I could add raspberries to it...those are my favorite!

Does that still count as your water intake? I have tea (home-brewed) that is sweetened with zero calorie sweetener.

I've been doing dips...they get killer after a while. Plus, the lil guy climbs up on my stomach! :-)

Thanks. Maybe I'll use the lil guy as weights!

Just wish I could get him to sleep so I have more energy during the day.

Thank you for all the advice! I guess it isn't just genetics. I'm definitely gonna look into a lot of these. :-) I don't have a smartphone but I have an Android Tablet. Any apps I could get on that?

Thank you so much!

Wow, that's pretty neat! Thanks!

Thank you!

:) This really helped me. I was one of those people getting disappointed since the scale hasn't moved. Thank you for keeping me positive!!

So, it's not a bad thing? I always heard people talk bad about salt...

Thank you!

bump Anyone?
