  • Traveling is a nightmare! All of the rest stops have junk food and the good food is outrageously priced! Some rest stops do have a grab and go section where they carry fruits/veggies and healthy sandwiches. I would carry some healthy snacks or fruit with you just in case. For the buffet: If you have an apple 30 minutes…

  • honearth: First off, wow i'm prou of you for deciding to get healthy! Sounds like you have a busy life! I would recommend to you the same thing that I recommended to my father who is sedentiary.

  • Hi heather! You should look into pilates exercises, they were originally created to help patients in hospitals who could not move their core (stomach, back areas) They focus on legs and arm movements and are a great way to exercise. Good luck!

  • I'm not 100% positive on this but I think that you need to increase your cardio to burn fat. I think that lifting is to help continuously burn calories during the day and tone but cardio is where you will really lose the body fat (my source is youtube, so who knows if its really accurate). good luck!

  • First off you are doing great. You have lost so much weight already you should be proud of yourself! I was 160 and I am now down to 142 and I also hit that bump in the road. I have the same goal as you (130-135) and I noticed that when I began working out it was easy to shed the weight and now I am having a difficult time…

  • My weight loss has decreased also. It is very easy to lose weight at the beginning but then your body gets used to the work out and it is more difficult. Perhaps try switching up your work out to trick your muscles and burn more fat. This can be done by including weight training into your work outs (which will also keep…
