Everybody is different. And all calories are not the same. Even the time of day for meals will make a difference. Some foods will speed your metabolism, some will slow it. Stress will also slow metabolism. Lack of sleep will too. Meditation or yoga may help your metabolism. It may be as simple as having smaller portions…

Welcome. Hope everything goes well. I see you want to lose 20 pounds. But how much time do you have? A goal requires a set time.

Oolong is my favorite. Supposed to be great for your metabolism, so I have 2 cups a day. Sleepytime time tea on occasions when I need to get some sleep.

Great job. Thanks for posting, very inspirational.

Disney parks are so much better than any of the typical Amusement Park like Great America or Six Flags. For one they are always being cleaned.

let them recover, alternate. u may need to do more warm up and stretching before also

when recuperating you may need more protein. I suggest peanut butter or sunflower butter before bed. one or two tablespoons. I bet you sleep better.

One pound is equivalent to approx. 3500 calories. Your goal should not exceed 1 pound a week. So being down 500 calories per day from your base rate + exercise calories - calories consumed . If you want to lose 2 pounds then 1000 per day. Which would mean quite a bit of exercise.…

Love the Wii Fit Plus with the balance board. Particularly the games: Snow Ball Fight, Big Top Juggling, Soccer Head Butting are my favorites. Sometimes I do the yoga, it is great for learning proper form.

Jenna Elfman. Only prettier.

138 minutes of "Wii Fit exercise. Have completed all meals and still have 1000 calories left. Think I will have a dessert.

Actually that is really great progress. And yes everyone can see the difference. Keep up the great work.
