  • They sound good and healthy, but what else are you eating? Your body needs protein and carbs too. Don't forget veggies!
  • I found this book, 28 DatyBody Shapeover (at Amazon) it has a routine for 28 days, including a meal plan. Think i paid like $12. It's a great book and explains all the exercises too.
  • sometimes it is hard to see results on a scale, because if you are working out, you are making muscle and muscle weighs more than fat. The more lean muscle you have, the more calories you will burn during the day. Don't get discouraged. If the number on the scale gets to you, put it away. You are doing fine, nobody can be…
  • there is nothing wrong with you. everyone has these. Sometimes nothing will cure a craving, but what it is you are craving. It is ok to indulge a little. If you are craving cookies, go tot he store and buy a pack that has a small amount, like 1-2 or like the 6 pack of oreos. No one is perfect all the time and if you let…
  • I don't put anything in my tea but I haven't been able to stop the creamer in my coffee so you are my idol!!! I don't drink coffee every day and only one cup when I do so it's not too bad. I just don't like the taste of black coffee! Way to go!! I'm very proud of you. [/quote] I use 1% milk or n on fat milk and splenda in…
  • My husband and I just started a program called P90X, it has a different exercise everyday from cardio to weights to yoga and stretching. Also if you like jazzercise you might try Hip Hop Abs. Check out www.beachbody.com
  • if you are sick you are sick. Just remember that if you are not able to work out, eat less calories, that is all and don't sweat it you will be back and going in no time.
  • More Healthy Homestyle Cooking is a great cookbook. I just made the Mexican pizza, it is yummy. There are a lot of recipes in here, check it out if you run out of healthy ideas like me.
  • it's not a problem, as long as you are staying w/in cals and carbs, I always have more protein too. If you are working out, your body needs the extra protein anyway.
  • in some stores you can find broccaflower- not sure how to spell it, but my mom loves it.
  • read the side effects, it warns you to always have extra pants and underwear in case of anal leakage. I don't believe in any of the pills and gimmicks. The basics of weight loss are restrict your calories, eat healthy foods and exercise. What are healthy foods? I say natural foods, fruits, veggies, nuts, grains and meats.…

  • go by how your feel. Try jogging in place and little and if your belly feels heavy or you can feel it in your throat, wait a little longer. I usually wait about 30-45 minutes.
  • I have an elliptical at home too. I love it, but what everyone is saying is right. You have to keep moving. Make sure to use a heart rate monitor, if you are not getting your heart rate up, you are not burning calories.
  • I don't trust any of those supplements, they are not FDA regulated and look what the Ephedra did to professional athletes? I am a personal trainer and I never recommend any of lose weight loss supplements to my clients. If you read they bottle, they all say with a healthy diet and exercise. Well a healthy diet and exercise…
