I take valerian root to help me sleep.My skin needs more water and lotion now.

Hello feel free to add me.I do agree with rrrbecca you are the only one that can do this for yourself,but I can help as best as I can.Congrats on your loss!

Good info here,I agree be careful some are mostly caffiene,some are green tea concentrate(like Dexatrim Max which I take),some are just for loosing some water weight and make you dehydrated.I was taking guarana and ginseng (or having starbucks energy drink doubleshots) but I just started the dexatrim and for me it lasts…

Hey it's nice to see other women trying to increase your overall health-not just trying to be tiny.I really want to meet more friends that are working on overall health,energy,strength.I am very strong and do lift weights-it is not my main focus,I do not want to be ripped or compete in weightlifting.I am not focused on…

Awesome post!I use extra virgin coconut oil I love it!My hair and skin love it too-both taking it internally and rubbing it on.I have hypogylcemia so I have to be very very careful with Apple Cider Vinegar tablets.I started Dexatrim Max-anyone else try it?It has green tea concentrate which gives me more energy all…

I know what you mean!I walk and squat when brushing my teeth,park my car the farthest spot away,stretch during bathroom breaks(plus quick workouts like leg lifts,squats,lunches,twists,jumping jacks,etc).When my son was a baby(and still) workout with them-lifting kids isn/t easy-but it is a great workout and they have fun…

Wow great topic and suggestions!Walking,swimming,yoga,pilates,etc there are lots of workouts for legs.I have heard there are summer spanx now.Learning to love yourself and focus on the positive is something I've had to do too.

I haven't tried it but thanks for posting that artice.

Hi Leslie,welcome!Healthy fats are very important-almonds,cashews,avacado,olive oil,etc.Drink a lot of water,eat a healthy snack between every meal;popcorn,celery,nuts,fruit,carrots,granola.

Welcome!Let me know if you need any supoort or encouragement.

Absolutley be patient and keep up the great work!

Hey I'm open to all kinds of friends,add me.

Hey have no fear-it will go away with enough work and proper diet!Drinking enough water is huge.Getting enough cardio like walking makes a huge difference too.Have you tried firming lotion?

I love working out my abs!I do lots of different things:Leg lifts (feet together -legs straight while laying on your back on the floor) go slow using your abs to lift legs all the way until they are straight.Slowly lower back down-keep legs straight the whole time.You can also lift your hips when feet are parallel to the…

Wow!Congrats and keep up the great work.

Hey,sorry to hear about your problems.I agree more fiber,plus 8 or more cups of water a day,and I use coconut oil or olive oil everyday.Make sure your eating enough or your body can go into starvation mode and hold everything in.Hope you feel better soon.

Hi Matt,how are you?Congrats on making a great choice for your health,and best of luck in your journey!What kind of work outs are you going to do?Welcome to myfitnesspal,Rose:)

Thanks for sharing!I don't know what kind to get either.I might have to try the vibrams.

Hey,that's why we are here to support each other.What are your goals?

Hi everyone!I'm 5'2" I'm about half way to my goal.I'm not looking at a certain number just trying to be healthy.Looking to make friends of all kinds!

Hello great post and suggestions here!I love pita chips,pretzels,hummus,rice crisps,lundberg vegan rice cakes,carrots,apples,popcorn,sunchips.I know salads can sound boring but I add almonds,crunchy rice noodles,mandarin oranges,veg chicken like Quorn/or Morningstar(available at any grocery store),cucumbers,sesame…

Hey everyone,been busy and fighting a cold.I had gained a few pounds over Thanksgiving(slightly bigger portions than normal-did really good though esp with my tofurkey and vegan options) now I'm back down to 201.Really hoping to break the 200s this month!I resisted pizza temptation twice-yay!Lost one more inch!Keep up the…

OMG!Congrats and happy anniversary!Your doing amazing with your progress and positive outlook.How do you post pics here>?

Hey,sorry about the pain.Tony had some good stretches.I do the hamstring one plus reaching out-in between legs as far as you can(trying to get your nose on the ground =o>). Yoga helps me a lot-the one where I sit in a prayer position(feet-knees on the ground then lean forward arms out ahead of you) > \o Hope you feel…

Hello all,I make mine at home using Genisoy in vanilla or chocolate,ice cubes (1 cup or tray full),fruit(bananas,mango,strawberries, whatever), or chai tea or coffee,maybe some spices like cinnamon.

My favorites are: Morningstar garden veggie patties(great as a burger sub/or with sweet & sour or terriyaki:rice or noodles,veggies like mushrooms,corn,red/green/yellow bell peppers-also good with Quorn chicken sub.) Quorn or morningstar nuggets with salad and bbq sauce Burrito-meat…

I love Morningstar garden veggie patty it goes really well with the terriyaki/or sweet&sour sauce,lots of spices esp garlic,lots of veggies-red/yellow/green bell pepper slices,or corn,mushrooms,I do use rice but if you control your portion and need noodles do it.If you want a great chicken substitute try Quorn cutlets.Also…

Wow smoking hot!Great progress pics thanks for sharing!

I was reffering to: 1-not being able to work out for too long without having to stop and snack 2-not being able to lose too much too fast 3-always packing snacks and food wherever I go( even more so since I'm vegan) Oh and to people asking what I'm eating-I do eat a lot of protein and fiber,drink a lot of water,eat complex…

YAY congrats!I hope you reward yourself with something for all your hard work.
