American Eagle makes jeans with mid to high rise and they seem to work better. ( That said, I am wearing an old pair today that is WAY to big in the waist! ) Another solution is long tank…

When I started eating more protein, I retained water for a few days. Make sure to drink more water. Also, are you cutting carbs? If you are increasing protein without watching something else, you could be taking in extra calories.

I just log everything under cardio and count the calories. I use a heart monitor to get my # of calories. As long as you are exercising, you're doing fine!

I bought a FitBit Charge in December and really don't think it's accurate at all. The HR is never even close when I am exercising. For example, I was Kickboxing and it said I was at 92 BPM. My heart monitor said I was at 140.

One thing that helps me at night is peppermint tea. It's really comforting and the peppermint makes you not want to eat!

I feel the same way and we are about the same height/weight! I used to weigh about 120-123 but after a hysterectomy put on some weight that won't seem to come off! I am under my calorie goal most days and still my darn jeans are too tight! Keep it up...we will get there!

2 pounds isn't too much to worry about- many people fluctuate up to 3or 4 pounds in a week. If you want healthy, filling food, try loading half of your plate with veggies at each meal and make each of your snacks some sort of fruit or protein. Good luck1

I just started this on Monday and love it! I did Burn Circuit 2 this morning and got my cardio in over lunch. My legs and shoulders are definitely feeling it!

I have to watch my sodium too b/c of a heart problem. I've found the trick is to eat clean- check out the Clean Eating Cookbook by Tosca Reno and there are a ton of good recipes! I also eat Ezekiel Bread- only 80 mg of sodium per slice, eat a lot of fruits and veggies, and fresh meats. Try using the Mrs. Dash spices- they…

If you have a store called Plato's Closet in your area, check it out! Bring your clothes in and they will give you cash for what they take and they have a great selection of second hand clothes. I bought a lot of stuff there after my clothes were too big. I even got a $100 pair of jeans for $20!
