Hey, Well, let me start by saying this. We are all different and though not all skin tones and tightens you may more so than someone else. I have sagging skin of the lower stomach and very tops of legs and hips. I have lost 145 pounds though. Now, exercise and cardio helps with this and even resistence training to build…

I have one and love it. I do not have to guess at calories burned or how much I have done. I am very pleased with it. Get one you will not be sorry. God Bless, brenda

Hey, Well, it really depends on the intensity and the incline you have the treadmill set at along with the speed. I agree with the others on the treadmill being set for average height and weight of a person. The HMR is a lot closer but it is not perfect so you may want to split the difference between the two and this way…

Hey, Well, I will start by saying diets do not work long term. You need a lifestyle change in eating healthier and exercising daily. It is calories in and calories out that causes weight loss. You have to monitor how much you take in so you will know how much you need to burn to lose the weight. I did the Biggest Loser…

Hey, Sorry you are sick and I pray you feel better really soon. Yes, just take care of yourself and pick back up when you are able. God Bless, brenda

Hey, I do Southern Gospel Music myself. I find it to be mentally relaxing while physically challenging myself during a workout. God Bless, Brenda

Sorry, there is no real quick fix. Be careful so you do not damage your body and cause serious health risk for yourself. God Bless, Brenda

I think most of us would say biggest challenge was learning to eat correctly and finding the balance between food and exercise. 14 months to lose 145 pounds. maintenance is a challenge to keep from dropping anymore weight; but I am doing great so far. No, I cannot lose anymore I weigh 102 pounds and body mass index is low…

Please do not give up. We all have been there and yet by jumping back on the wagon and starting again we manage to keep going. Never beat yourself up just start again. You will soon get to where you want to be. Congrats for making it this far and just keep going you will be just fine. God Bless, brenda

Fad dieting, well I think we all have done that at one time or another in our lives to find out that it not the long term answer. Lifestyle change is the only way to get it off and keep it off. Maybe by using this site and the tools available as well as the support of others that even the fad dieter can change their life…

After 40 everything jiggles and goes south. God Bless, brenda :ohwell: :laugh:

Hey, Welcome to the site and we are glad you have joined us here. This is a great place to be and the people are terrific too. Lots of inspiration and motivation as well. Hang in there and you will make it through this journey and be awesome. God Bless, Brenda

Hey, Sorry to have to tell you the jiggle will get better and smaller or less of it but it will never really all go away if you have a lot of weight to lose. You can do tricep and bicep exercises to help tone and structure the muscles but I still have arm jiggle and was told it would have to be removed by surgery if I…

Now that is the way to do it. I did that myself a few weeks ago with some center cut pork chops I wanted a little more than my usual 3 to 4 ounces I wanted about 6 ounces so I worked my butt off to be able to enjoy it and I did without the guilt. The scales were still friendly because i had the calories to spare for that…

Be very careful with protein unless you are a body builder. The thing with proteins is they can build up too much in the body if not used and cause serious problems later. Once in a while is okay but that was a little too much and the sodium needs to be checked on. Sodium can cause you to retain water or fliud as it is…

You are so correct and it is one step at the time and one learned thing at the time. We never quit learning new things from each other and ways to help ourselves as we go. God Bless, Brenda

Hey, Sorry it has taken me so long to get back up with you all. Thanks for the support from everyone. I feel everyone did their best and should be proud of yourselves. I love this challenge this week because I have a hard time with this one myself and need to stayed focused on not eating at least 3 hours before bedtime. I…

Hey, I have the bodybugg and love it. I use it to keep me in check with exercise and food deficits or surplus which ever is the case. It counts steps, physical activity, I log food and it calculates what I either need to eat or need to burn to maintain my weight it also show the calories burned throughout the 24 hours a…

Welcome to the site. You have to make a lifestyle change. This is not a diet at all it truly is a lifestyle change and transformation. You eat healthy foods, drink lots of water and eat high fiber foods these two things help with keeping you feeling full longer, proteins will help with energy and stamina. Record everything…

Hey, I eat all my exercise calories with the exception of 100 just in case something may not be just right. So far it has been working out very well doing it like that. God Bless, Brenda

Well, I am with you all on this. My boobs are gone and not even an A cup anymore and reminds you of raisens with them tiny and all the skin just there. Depressing thought. Don't even think that implants would help mine; sad thing now. :ohwell: :embarassed: :tongue: God Bless, Brenda

I agree 100% you are so correct. I fully understand where you are coming from. God Bless, Brenda

Hey, You are the ownly person that knows how you feel and whether or not you need or even just want to lose weight. Do what you feel you need to do and we will all support you along the way. Be happy with who you are and the decisions you make concerning your own body. God Bless, Brenda

Hope everyone is good today. I had 15 glasses today :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: God Bless, Brenda

Hey, I do not want to upset anyone here. The thing is this is not a diet it is a true lifestyle change and you will always have to keep a check on what you eat, the exercises, and making the right choices. The thing is if you go back to old habits then the weight comes back and you do not want that to happen so yes you…

Yes, it does help and it is also great for getting the veggies that you may be lacking. I drink the low sodium and love it and it does help. God Bless, Brenda

Hey, it is very important to eat the calories and know exactly what you are burning. I did not for a large part of my weight loss and it became very serious and I was even anorexic due to burning all the nutrition that I took in and having nothing left to substain my body. I had to do the bodybugg and this way I know…

Everyone is doing a great job. Be proud and keep up the good work. I am posting yesterdays water and todays water both days being 18 glasses each day for a total of 36 glasses for the two days together, :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:…

Hey, Okay, to begin with the people on the show are being monitored closely to make sure that they are doing fine. They are also working out 6 to 8 hours a day in a gym with professional trainers and doctors on stand by. For people like yourself and myself and also others that are doing this at home it is not safe for us…
