So you are walking and not losing weight? Try running! As for gaining muscle, don't worry about it. You will not gain any muscle.

I have just discovered PB2. It is powdered peanut butter. It is lower in calories than PB because it has less fat. I put 2 spoons of it into some plain yoghurt, and this is my breakfast. I am planning to try it with tofu - that might work better for you if you avoid all animal products, not just meat. But, choose only high…

All triceps exercises help. Best to combine with other upper arm and shoulder exercises. When you develop some upper arm and shoulder muscles, it helps a lot with how your upper arms look. But it is a difficult journey for a woman, and you may not be able to get rid of it completely.

add plenty of fresh chopped dill to your vegetable dishes and soups. Adds a nice flavor and helps with gas evacuation

drain a small can of sardines, mash sardines with a fork in a little bowl, chop some green onions and some fresh herbs if you have any, mix with a tiny bit of mayo. Serve on a piece of toast. Mmm, yummy!

Oh, I am very impressed that you are a black belt in karate. That means you have the willpower to achieve anything! Low carb or any other diet, the trick is to stick to it.

wonderful! Congratulations!

I eat Trader Joe's oat bran. it is about 140 cal per portion. I sometimes add some coconut milk (canned, which is thicker). That makes it incredibly tasty and flavorful, but doubles the calories. Either way, it is very filling.

I went on a 3 day water fast, starting the day before Thanksgiving, ending today. Lost 3.6 pounds so far. Feel much better than after the usual Thanksgiving overeating. Sent the hubby off to a Thanksgiving party away from home. Think I should do it every year!!!

I use a step board for step aerobics.

Just do it!

yes, you have to count calories forever. and the older you are, the more so.

I would just eat my regular breakfast and lunch and then skip dinner. For these two days.

Well, it is a big nuisance to have to count calories and log what I eat, but when I stop counting and logging, I gain weight. So, better obsess about calories, than to be overweight and unhappy.

That's what happens to me on vacations. :-( The only exception was Japan (enjoying sashimi and no wine).

I buy carrots in packs of two pounds or even bigger. They keep for weeks in my fridge, in the bottom drawer, if left in a plastic bag with holes in it. If some carrots are left outside the bag, they can become limp. If they were wet in the bag, I wipe them with a paper towel and put them in the bag and in the fridge. If…

Fresh vegetables from the farmers market last much longer than store bought ones. To make them last longer, I wipe them if they are wet, and then I wrap them in a clean paper towel and put in a plastic bag, and then put them in the fridge. This helps them last for over a week, especially important with fresh herbs and…

Weightwatchers dark chocolate raspberry icream. 80 cal. But, a terrible truth: it is difficult to stop at one. So i had to stop buying them. Now, i just cut thin slices of different fruits and berries and place them prettily on my plate, decorating them with a spring of mint. For hubby, i add a spoon on non sweet yogurt on…

My personal experience with apple cider vinegar is that it gives me heartburn and stomach pain. I only tried it in salads. If i use brown rice vinegar instead, these symptoms do not happen. So, I just decided that it is not for me. (I also have such symptoms whenever I take tylenol or Vit C if it is not time-release…

Curried cauliflower is good. Curry masks the taste of anything. You can find it in Indian restaurants and I am sure the recipes are available on the internet. (Disclaimer: I do love the taste of cauliflower myself, and I just boil it slightly in water then chop it and fry on a skillet in a little bit of butter. maybe your…

I have been dancing for more than 10 years now and I must say that some very overweight people are really good dancers. They are very welcome partners because of the dancing skills. So I would encourage you to begin dancing again. Put in some extra effort to learn, take group lessons and private lessons, it will be great…

I love lifting because it makes my body awesome. I started to walk around the house naked and look into all the mirrors with joy!

so I see that you are twenty years old, you probably have no children... I think for you there are very good chances of losing it all with exercise and diet. If you were older (40ies), I'd say go see a plastic surgeon.

I notice that if I drink coffee on an empty stomach, it makes me alert, but if I drink a cup of coffee after a big meal, it can make me sleepy.

Good for you! excellent job!

Cabbage is awesome. I love cabbage soup.
