I decided to do a 7-day detox program on Monday to try and kick start my metabolism using Natural Factors Revitamix and Detoxitech. I am on Day 5 and doing well but just started the Detoxitech drinks today - they are ugly green and unbelieveably nasty tasting. Has anyone else tried this and have suggestions on what to mix…

Hi Anna, I was excited to read your posting - count me in! Name: Kathryn Age: 56 Height: 5'5" CW: 149 GW: 126 About me: I just left my job as a software company manager so have a few months to get a solid nutritional and exercise program in place before starting back to work.

I would like a weight loss buddy - I lost 7 pounds months ago and haven't lost anything since. I have 12 pounds to lose and would like someone to check in with as I haven't dont that before and I think it will help keep me on track.

I looked at the picture and though the model is quite thin for her height I do see a number of women who have this body type and seem to be in good health, If you want to achieve her look your body fat has to be low and you need to build lean muscle. Suggestions 1. go to a sports facility that has a bod pod which is the…

I have been so curious - thanks for letting me us know!

I would buy a rebounder at Sports Authority ($69.00) and a 10 lb kettleweight ($25.00) and see if you could get a deal on the Urban Rebounder tapes online. I have owned tons of equipment but these are very effective, take up a small space and you can get a great workout.

Same here - I kept m y food diary today and will be exercising in about an hour - mini-steps....

fantastic! congrats....

Really helpful - thanks!

Really helpful - thanks!

I use kettlebells 1-2 days a week. I have a 5 and 10 lb and 2 DVDs that I like. They are 45 minute workouts that are 8 reps, 3 sets.

I bought an incline trainer which I love. I can burn over 200 calories within 30 minutes and it is easy on my knees. It's a bit pricy but I saw them on sale at Coscos.

Congatulations - I am inspired!

Welcome back!!!! I fell off too but when I came back and started losing weight again it helped re-inspire me to get under the 'last 10 pounds' to go.... Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Calorie Counter

I recommend saving up for an HRM - I have a Polar and it is worth the cost. I use it for exercise and hiking. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Calorie Counter

Once I discovered portion control and eliminated some of my high calorie foods I found I wasn't eating enough either. The problem was that I plateaued and stopped losing weight. Once I started eating my required calories I started losing weight again - that includes the additional calories for exercise which sometimes I am…

I understand how gaining back weight (especially when I have a weakness for microbrew beers and hotdogs) is easier than taking it off! What has helped me is before an event I document honestly what I would eat if I didn't think I had to track it. Before changing my lifestyle I would probably have had 4 dark beers, a big…

I have lost 12 pounds in 4 months and didn't notice a size change until this last week. A couple people at work mentioned my jeans were getting baggy. I went to buy new jeans today and I bought the same style jean - only 3 sizes smaller!!!!!!!!!!!! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

I have moved away from eating snack bars and I really don't miss them (but it took me awhile to give them up). Instead I eat nuts with fresh or dried fruit which keep me full longer. For me the snack bars were underlying supporting my daily chocolate habit. As a part of my success in weight loss this time around, I had to…
