Today, my boss brought some cookies into the office, they were so small, and looked soo innocent, so i figured they can't be sooo bad for me... I ate 4 of them, then I went looking for calories and stuff, and OMG, those four cookies sumed as much as my whole breakfast!!! I'll never eat them again - I mean those cookies in…

Hi! Yes, you should stretch before and after your workout.. Just, don't strech when you're cold... Try a little warm up first, like a 5 minute walk, then gently strech your muscles, till the point you feel it but it doesn't hurt. Also, don't bounce the stretch, just hold it for about 30 seconds each.. Do the same thing…

HI I wouldn't count that as exercise, although that depends on if doing that is something you're used to. If that's the case, probably it wont affect your weight loss. I count as exercise only what I know I did as exercise...

Hi! I don't know the exact science behind muscle loss, but I've read that you need to do some strength training besides cardio, because cardio besides burning fat, is also a catabolic process that detroys muscle. So, it's important to eat enough protein, especially after cardio. Weight is not really an indicator of body…

Five years ago I lost 33 lbs thanks to WW. Personally I dont find it diffcult to calculate points, after all, if you attend meeting you get a manual point calculator.. also I found one for the computer, and also the formula, which I carried in my cell phone, so knowing calories, fat and fiber I could know how many points…

h, i love the 10 minute solution Pilates, although it's kind of hard you know but as you said, there's no excuse b/c it's only 10 minutes.... I also work out with Tamilee "I want those..." (arms, abs, buns) collection... Each DVD has 2 routines of 15 minutes each, i like them a lot Good luck!

Too much fibre can lead to intestinal discomfort or dehydration. It can also prevents the body from absorbing all the nutrients in food.

that's ok, the amount recommended is about 25 gms for a female, it ok to be over, just make sure you don't get more than 65 gms a day... :wink:

:blushing: ok 1 lb lost.....

Hi! How many calories are you missing? You aren't counting your burnt calories in, are you? Maybe you can add some extra dressing on your salads, a little cheese here and there, an extra fruit... I recommend some high fiber cereals like all-bran, some fruits like bananas are high in calories, eggs (mix a whole egg with…

Hi! I've heard that varying te amount of calories is good because that way your body doesn't really get used to a certain amount of calories. You know, in vey low calorie diets, the risk is that your body goes into Starvation mode so it stops burning fat. So having some high calorie days tricks your body to make it "think"…
