I do yoga also. You can get a really good burn depending on what type of yoga you do. I prefer hot vinyasa flow or hot power hour. The rooms are heated to 105 degrees. I come out of class looking like a sweat bucket but I burn at least 500 cals in one session. The classes are focused on your breathing with movement. My…

I do yoga and it really has helped with the "love handles". You can google yoga for back/ side area. It does work pretty quickly if you stick with it.

Found the twinkies diet link if anyone's interested.http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/11/08/twinkie.diet.professor/

I can send you the link I got it off pintrest. Give me a min to find it and I'll link it here

What @ lamps1303 said is the best advice. Nothing other than portion control, portion control, portion control. Oh and log everything even when you over eat. Seeing all the calories you really eat may help. I closed my food diary for awhile until I got my eating under control. That may help also if you feel embarrassed by…

Congrats. Your right it's calories in vs. calories out. I read an arrival of a nutrition professor went on a "diet" of all snack cakes. He reduced his calories to 1800 a day of all snack cakes and some veggies but stayed within his calorie budget. Guess what he lost 27 lbs. Is he going to be healthier in the long run,…

Yes go to your diary setting and hit change macros. You can manually set your goals.

Losing about 5 pounds a week can be normal and is ok but it may stager now and only be a pound a week. Seems like your doing well keep up the good work:)

My ideal body would be what I felt confident in and still had some curves! I'm short and as lose weight I lose my curves and become a pole. Straight up and down an I don't want that. So I would say curvy toned me if that's possible ...lol

I am mine is on Sunday Sept 23. It is a 5k which I'm ok with but worried about the military style obstacles in the mud...lol

It is but you may get sick of it before your body does. Try little changes to start off with like different seasonings on your food or add an extra vegetable to your meals before you know you have changed things up without the extra work.

If you obsess over it then I would use a friends scale to get a starting weight. Then just use your clothes and pictures to gadget your weight loss and then when you see or feel a difference in clothing or pictures use a friends scale again to see where you are. That could help to motivate you more.

Just an FYI protien also helps to move things along. Make sure you get enough protien in your diet.

That is awesome way to go! Keep up the good work and remember don't beat yourself up if you do slip. It happens we are not perfect . It is more about focusing more on the little things that help you to get to the big picture. There is always tomorrow or even an hour later. Good luck on your journey :)

The side view there is a huge difference! Keep up the great work

Not on my computer right now bu.t I will add you

Have you tried zit zag eating? Eat high cals one day the next lower cals. Try that for a couple weeks.

David pumpkin seeds make a great snack. 1/4 cup is 160 cals 12g of fat 10mg of sodium 4g of carbs and 1g of fiber. It is high in iron and one of my favorite snacks. Another great snack is string cheese 80 cals and 4g of carbs. Also Breyers has come out with low carb ice cream 140 cals for a half cup and ONLY 4g of Carbs!…

Try to have a serious talk with her. Tell her this is important to you and that it should be important to her because it is what makes you happy.

Bump for later review

Steps work great but you must use your whole foot when stepping up .It will shape butt calves thighs and hips.

I do understand that I'm about 10 to 15 pounds from my goal weight but I have the ability to build muscle pretty easily and can get big quickly which I don't want to do that with extra fat on me...lol As of right now I am not sure if I should start that yet or not. I do light weight train with cardio and have really…

I am thinking about starting this program. Did anyone wait unroll you got closer to your goal weight or does it not matter? I do know the scale may go up but the body composition will change drastically. What are your thoughts?

Drink half your body weight in ounces. So if you weight 150 you want to drink at least 75 ounces a day.

I use the ripped extreme it is 30 MIN of cardio and 30 MIN of cardio light weights. It has made a huge difference in how I look. He does have a dvd that's has 8 workouts in it they are all 10 MIN a piece. I would recommend that first so you can see what you like then buy the full dvd in that type of work out.:bigsmile:

He has so many of them now. There are some I like better than others.

Yes! The person below me hates oranges.
