  • I am doing it without my spouse, but since I am the one who does the shopping & cooking he is eating healthier by default anyway. My daughter is doing this with me though, she does not need to lose, but I am trying to teach her to maintain and to just be healthy - she is a teenager so you know I can't tell her anything she…
  • I love Tae bo...there are a couple that have resistance bands, but I do them w/out since I don't have any and still get a great workout
  • I love the Zumba for the Wii. I tried the Golds Gym you refer to & the Biggest Loser one, I did not like either one. I did not feel like I was getting much of a workout - they were not very cardio
  • It is ok to splurge as long as you don't make it a habit. Just get back on track tomorrow
  • My weakness is Mexican food. I have not given it up & don't try to, you have to allow yourself the foods you love otherwise you will cave in a big way & go overboard. I figure as long as I am under my calories it is ok. As far as the scale not moving, I had that a couple of weeks in. Once I got used to putting my food in…
  • I wear the same type. I use it more to see how many steps I take during the day, but if I go to a track to walk instead of on a treadmill I clear it out and use that time to log since it was actual exercise & not just normal daily activity.

  • I have it & I love it. I am not very corridinated but it is a good work out & I have fun doing it
  • I have this also, after my work outs I put my foot on ice for about 15-20 minutes. Foot rubs help also
  • I got frustrated because the scale was not moving either, then I started doing the measurements...even though the scale was not moving, I was losing inches, that helped keep me from getting frustrated
  • You may not be getting enough protein, that is another reason to lose hair. It can also be from a medication you are taking - blood pressure meds or possibly cholesterol. I started taking a new cholesterol med & my hair really started thinning - I quit taking it & it quit coming out. I also started taking hair, skin &…
  • If I can't find it I try to find the restaurants website to see if they have the nutrition info. If they do not, then I find something along the same lines of what I ate
  • reading the stuff about the sweets.....I don't allow myself any sort of sweet until I have put in all my food for the day. If I am under my calorie goal, I get to have a sweet. Sometimes it is light ice cream (130 calories) or a popsicle (45 calories).....I have made that my reward for eating well for that day.....It was…
  • I have been on for a little more than a month (joined July 31) and have lost 5 pounds so far. Seems to be helping me quite a bit...real eye opening to see what your favorite foods have. I know I won't be able to give up my favorites (Taco Bell) but I try to eat better so I have room for the splurge that day...when you add…
