Fiber One is a high fiber cereal that fills me up at breakfast time. Usually it is 1/2 cup of cereal with 1/2 cup of silk soymilk unsweetened and I'm OK.

Start losing weight and stop when you like what you see and you feel sexy. There is no magical right lbs for everyone. You have to base it on how you feel. For me, 5'2" , 112 lbs. is just right. My clothes fit on me well and i do feel sexy when I wear them.

People sometimes avoid Carb to lose weight but it is needed for energy. The day before my hard/long workout, i eat a little bit more carbs then protein so when the next day workout comes, my body can use it for energy. After workout, I eat a little bit more protein than carb for recovery. Check your iron. If your iron is…

it is good that you take supplements. Most of the time, women are too low in their intake of Calcium so important to have if you are not meeting your daily intake with food. If you are trying to lose weight, everything that has calories should be logged.

Before you go anywhere you think your diet might be compromise, eat a good size heathly meal. This way when you get there, you are not as hungry so you can enjoy a smaller meal but most importantly enjoy the reason why you are there in the first place- for the company of friends and love ones.

Wii Dance-3. I do this with my daughters. We all have a great time and sweat our rear quarters off.

I ordered papa johns pizza the other day and normally I would eat at least 2 pieces and chow down 8-10 spicy buffalo wings. Well after discovering 280 calories for each piece of pizza and 170 cal for 2 wings, I reduced my intake tremendously. Was so hard to do but a task needed to be done so I can write in the chapter of…

I remember Oprah saying one time "if you know better, do better". I went to Golden Corral the other day with my daughter and I tell you it was very very hard to eat good there but I did. Loaded my plate with lots of salad stuff, skip the salad dressing and put on a little bit of chili instead. End the meal with watermelon…

Had my day yesterday. Ate a few too much potato chips and had to run miles afterward to burn it off. Don't think there are too many people who can eat whatever and as much as they want and be small. I had an uncle who growing up was the smallest out of 6 kids. He could out eat everyone. When he became an adult, he was the…

If you are up for the challenge, this place has the tools for you to complete your goal. It will be an eye-opener. I've learned a lot about the foods and drinks I've consumed. Good luck.

Everyone knows what they ate and drank for the day. The problem is not knowing how much calories they consumed or simply ignoring the numbers and this site helps. If one person said they ate a sandwich well that might not seemed much but if that sandwich was loaded with 6 bacon and triple layer of cheeses and majonnaise,…

Find something to do with your boys everyday so it is good for you and for them. I have a little dog and to help her get her exercise in, I chase her around the house for about 5 minutes. When she takes breaks, I keep on running until 5 minutes is up then log in for my cardio for day. Make up some exercises like squats,…

Bertolli frozen soups- all varieties. One bag yields two meals for me. Put it over a cup of rice and it's definitely a filler after a workout. Yummy !!!

I retrained my brain. Everytime I feel I have" to do something, I say to myself I "get" to do it. I get to run/walk today. How many people out there who can't because they are paralyzed or physically handicapped? I think about this when I lose my motivation to exercise or continue in my training or races. Participation in…

You go girl ! Fabulous !!

good pair of running shoes typically run between $80-120. Correct shoes is the most important so it is money well spent. Good luck.

I say try whatever calories and exercise plan you got in mind to lose 2.2 lbs a week for two weeks and see how you feel. I know the minimum calories is 1200 for women but for me 5'2" at 118, I decided to only consume 1100 total. I increased my exercises without raising my caloric intake all the way up to match it. In 2…

I don't have similar background but I do wish you the best on your journey. My suggestion is sign up to do a race. There are plenty of 5k that you can walk and support - all for a good cause. Get some friends to sign up too so it is a goal for you to achieve. Sometimes we forget how fortunate we are until we realized that…

Have a little coke to drink everyday. I suggest drinking at least 1-2 cups of water before, wait about 5 minutes then have your can of coke. Maybe split 1/2 can in the morning and 1/2 can in the evening. There are caps you can buy to put on the can to preserve the taste once you open the can. Log into your food journal.…

Congrats !!!!

When I started running races, I thought hey I can burn this 10 lbs off in no time Didn't keep a food journal. A few marathons later, I'm still unable to lose-actually gain a few. Ever since I signed up on myfitnesspal.com and monitored what I was eating and drinking everyday, my answer was very clear. I over estimated the…

I'm doing this to keep track not to lose weight but to be healthy and have enough calories to continue doing races. If you have questions or just like some motivation, I don't mind helping.
