Hey You may want to try a gym and an elyptical machine. It worked for me in just 20-30 minutes of cardio and about 30 minutes of weight training + dieting... Good Luck Julie

Awesome Job on the work out lady...just remember a good 95% is what you eat... The exercise helps tone you so once you lose the weight you are not a bag of jello...LOL... I was 335 and am 225 now. So let me know If I can help in anyway. Julie

I suggest a support group... I got help with daily phone calls to my sponsor... I've had 4 in 16 months who have helped me deal with the pain and emotional trauma of being over weight. People had hurt me ...someone was always saying cruel things about my weight and so I isolated myself and lived in front of the TV. Having…

Hey Mommy, Your body probably wont release your stored fat because you don't have a routine eating schedule that tells your body "Hey I am getting enough food regularly to release the stored fat it uses as reserves". Look at your body as a machine... that is what it really is... your soul is inside of the body you are in…

Go Amy, I was 335 and am now 223... Yep... I know exactly what it feels like to feel fat and yucky and struggle with losing weight... I tried everything... Food Addicts Anonymous worked for me but I used other tools also. God, my church, my job, lifeskills 411.org and prayer... You can do it. I feel so young, sexy and…

I eat a lot of Wierd, Way-Out, Radical Veggies... Here Are My FAVORITES Rutabagas... bake them (brush with olive oil) and season with Sea Salt, Pepper and Rosemary (taste like potatoes with a kick). Eggplant: slice dip in egg with 1 tsp mustard and fry with Pam Spray or a bit of olive oil... yummy. Mustard Greens (Whole…

Sure you can use anything I have posted on my page... Julie

Are you looking for a new spin on a burger? :love: I never have been a burger person but lamb and turkey burgers this way... drive me wild. Here is a very different spin of a burger and you can prepare the meat with Eastern Indian or Greek Flavors ... Step One Make the Burgers: Eastern Indian: I use "Shan" Seekh Kabab BBQ…

Oh Thanks...I appreciate everyone's feedback:flowerforyou:

Oh Thanks I am glad you enjoyed it. It looks like you are doing very well with your weight as well. I am so sore from working out yesterday...abs, arms...ahhh But its worth it. Julie

Thanks I am so glad my story helped... It is so wonderful to actually have power to say no to food cravings... I used to spend so much time and money chasing my next food fix. Drive thru's... pizza... donut binges and now I don't have that money on my back. Its there but not controlling me. Julie

I have overcome one of the biggest challenges I have personally ever faced... Food Addiction. Just like a drug I used food to comfort my self. I needed to constantly be around food and the mental compulsion to over eat was ruining my life. I am grateful to God, my church family, my wonderful co workers, the staff at…

Thanks for the words... I had gotten sick (sinus) and got lazy with my work outs. I worked out yesterday and feel delightfully sore today... (that means I had a good work out). My abs felt the crunch ball. LOL How are you able to work out in that heat? Is there a gym?

Hello Everyone, I was introduced to this site by a friend and I love it. What a wonderful tool. I first started dieting because we hired a new team member who just shined... she was everything I wanted to be...I prayed and asked God for the power to overcome my issues with my weight and at 335 lbs I felt like I was going…
