Love these pumpkin recipes! I have made my own easy pumpkin frozen yogurt. I bought a container of fat free frozen yogurt. Let it soften in a mixing bowl. Add about 1 small can of pumpkin. Add it slow and determine how strong you want it. Add cinnamon and nutmeg if desired. I even added a few lowfat graham crackers…

My secret weapons are: always cleaning and cutting up my fresh vegetables in airtight containers so they are easy to grab on the go or add them to a meal. They really fill you up. My Nike training club workout app on my iphone is my other secret weapon. It keeps me motivated and it really tones the problem areas! It kicks…

I have always been told and follow the rule: goods carbs before a workout- example: oatmeal with fruit or a mini-wheat bagel with peanut butter or a wasa cracker with laughing cow light cheese and veggies after workout: try to get in some protein: greek yogurt with nuts, a smoothie with whey protein you can add fruits or…

to reduce the butt and tone the legs I would recommend high repetion and low weight. The good old fashioned various lunge excercises: round the world lunge, split jump lunge, side lunges with medicine ball, walking lunges with weights in your hands. AND squats! I do many different types of squats including jumping and…

You cannot expect to lose the weight over night! I think changing your excercise routine is really important. Challenge yourself. I have really gotten back into working out, so now I try to eat to enhance my workout. Healthy carbs prior and protein after. It really works. If you go off track-just get back on. Try kabuta…

I find that eating a protein, high fiber carb and a little healthy fat with each meal keeps you full longer. for example: breakfast might be an uncle cracker 9 need cracker ( they are big and filling) with crazy richards peanut butter and apple slices for breakfast. greek yogurt with cinnamon and some nut sprinkled on it.…

Before a workout I like to eat a "doctor Kracker" 9 nine seed cracker with crazy Richard's chunky peanut butter. It is very filling! After a workout I make a protien smoothie with plain greek yogurt and vanilla whey protein powder with fruit or veggies. depends on my mood!

Dr. OZ Wow! He is wacky! He tells people to buy these crazy herbal supplements like rasberry ketones. He said - you will get thin thighs! OMG! If all women could get thin thighs from supplements no one would be on this site- finding support and documenting their results! It takes hard work and proper nutrition! I priced…

(next time I will use mint extract- The fresh mint did a number on me!) No lunch- worked out like a crazy woman and did my weight routine Early…

I did try this! It was great! Two things- I always use greek yogurt. I buy the Shop Rite brand. Either vanilla or plain. It is cheaper and has a lot of protein. The other thing- I added a scoop of flax meal. It was really good. It gave it a little apple pie texture and some fiber! Not a fan of nutmeg but love cinnamon!…

Whenever I give up carbs I get terrible headaches and I feel very tired. I have given up white flour for the most part. I do feel better. Before a workout I eat a mini whole wheat bagel with natural peanut butter or a carb balance tortilla with PB or scrambled eggs with veggies. I just bought a smoothie maker on sale. I am…

I like the recipe from Southbeach Diet. You can google it, but I think it is as follows: 1/2 cup lowfat cottage cheese 1/2 cup quick oats 1 egg cinnamon splenda packet if desired sugar free syrup-topping blend all indredients- put them on a griddle with cooking spray they actually really good!

LOL- That is hysterical and so rude!

I agree- people should just keep their trap shut sometimes! A compliment is nice but asking for numbers is rude! I usually stay within in a 10 lb. range of my weight but sometime it creeps up a little higher. When it does- i take it off. Once a man at the gym said- you look like you lost 50 lbs. How rude! I only lost about…

Low carb diets does take off weight fast, but they always make me very tired and I get more headaches. Make sure you take a good multi-vitamin. I like the Atkins protein shakes if i am too busy to eat lunch. Their snack bars are delicious if you need a treat. Whenever I follow a low carb diet I try to use a lot of spices…

It sounds like you did change your diet, but I think you need to revamp your workout routine. A few years ago I started running.

I am a big believer in not depriving yourself, but only treat yourself to the foods you do not have all the time! I pick healthier versions of "bad foods" like potato chips and ice cream. whenever I feel really hungry I do a massive workout and it usually puts me back on track to eat healthy. Vegetable and fruit smoothies…
