Jillan Michaels suggested eating a small handful of nuts, almonds, or walnuts before each meal. The fiber from the nuts will help you feeling more satisfied and less hungry.

I want to participate in this 100 day challenge but was wondering how do I go about updating my progress to quickly update my changes? Day 01—1/25 — 293.2 Day 02—1/26 — Day 03—1/27 — Day 04—1/28 — Day 05—1/29 — Day 06—1/30 — Day 07—1/31 — Week 1 Goal: 292

I read Obesity Code too. However, I also read Master your Metabolism. and have come to the conclusion that it's better to use food to fuel your body rather than deprive yourself of nutrients to lose weight.

Intermittent fasting is a way to lose weight. But I've also found that with intermittent fasting that the weight comes back more in the long run. That it's better (for me) to restrict my calories than to under nourish my body.

Sounds like we are very similiar. In July of 2019, I weighed 372 and over the last five years I've managed to lose 80 pounds. One of the best things I can recommend to anyone that wants to lose weight is not to be afraid of the scale. That's how I ended up in the first place by having such a high weight and not wanting to…

Going under your calorie limit can be harmful. Look into a phenomen called Zigzag dieting. Where you don't keep your calories at a constant level so that your metabolism and your weight loss doesn't reach a plateau. sometimes it might be helpful to slightly go over your calorie limit and then once or twice a week cut back…

Eating processed foods is one of the worst things you can do if you want to lose weight. I've read a lot of books about losing weight (more than 20 or so). Jillan Michaels had some good advice in her book Slim for Life and Master your Metabolism that if the food doesn't come from the ground or from an animal don't eat it.…

It strikes me so funny that you can lose weight by not eating enough. The body is strange that way. But I'm eating more on a daily basis and I'm losing weight. For me the trick is recognizing the good foods that you need to eat and staying away from the "bad" carbs.

a mini-goal driving me right now is a simple task of ensuring that i drink a cup of green tea daily to help boost my metabolism. I don't want to use sugar to raise my insulin but I do like it with a wee bit of honey to add some flavor.

My non-scale victory was going to the clothing store to find out my new waist size and was very happy to hear that my waist has gone from a size 50 to a size 47 and I'm nearly down to a 46. I owe most of it to my swimming routine. Of swimming for a mile daily (monday - friday).

I read a book by Jillian Michaels called Slim for Life. It was one of the best diet books I've ever read with a slew of information and helpful advice to boost your metabolism. Reading it opened my eyes to the bad foods that I was eating. Losing weight comes to eating good foods to nourish your body without exceeding your…

Dr. Phil, that guy on tv that we see all the time suggested a saying from Nike - Just do it. For me that resonated especially when it comes to exercising and don't let excuses - ever get in your way. It's going to be my new mantra on my weight loss journey. By prioritizing exercise you'll save yourself and lose some weight.

Hello, I've been using this app for years. But not constantly. The last few months I've been trying to use it on a regular basis. And it's really helping because I'm starting to notice the pounds dropping off about 1 to 2 pounds per week. Good luck on your journey with your personal trainer. One of my goals is to get down…

Hi Linda your doing great. I myself have lost 80.pounds with another 100 to go that I hope to achieve before the end of the year

This little dity answers your question precisely. Dieter's Psalm Strict is my diet. I must not want. It maketh me to lie down at night hungry. It leadeth me past the confectioners. It trieth my willpower. It leadeth me in the paths of alteration for my figure's sake. Yea, though I walk through the aisles of the pastry…

I've lost 37 pounds and it's in part to several things. Drinking half of your body weight in water per day. Use MFP to determine your total fat and look at the total fat on the food labels. Exercise a minimum of 30 minutes per day. Walk every day and shoot for an active lifestyle of 10,000 steps per day. I hope this helps.

So far this week I've burned 10,605 calories. Scott

Try to guestimate as best as you can on the items that you eat. If you don't find an exact match find something relatively close. You can always surf the internet for information and add items too. After you've been using the program for awhile it'll get easy to manage what you eat. The hard part at first is just getting…

Try to get in at least one hour of exercise every day and push yourself for that one hour. For weight loss you need to work out for an hour. Working out for 30 minutes will improve your cardiovascular system but the weight loss comes after the first 30 minute workout. If you can get access to a machine that has zones stay…

You have no idea how glad I am to see another guy doing the 30 day workout. Beginning to think I was the only guy doing the workout. I think it's going to pay off some big dividends in the end. Scott

Hi I read your posting. Have you looked into Aqua Zumba? I've heard that Aqua Zumba is great because it doesn't have the same amount of stress on the joints that regular Zumba has. I don't know if that might put some extra force on your knees. Why don't you try posting a new topic of Aqua Zumba is it hard on your knees to…

I'm in as well. I wish that I'd see more guys doing the video. But I think that I'll get good results from the video and when I worked out for the first time today I was huffing and puffing. Maybe by week two I'll be able to do all of the exercises and put everything into it. Scott

I burned 6568 calories this week. So I'm happy with the results. I took up Zumba so I expect the number to be getting a little larger and I'm going to shoot to do Zumba at least two times per week and maybe 3. Scott

shanae I would love to shake my hips. But to be honest I need to learn how to do it because they ain't moving. Maybe with a few more practice sessions I'll figure it out and I'll be able to start shaking my hips. Right now I'll have to be content with watching and trying to figure it out on my own until I can get them…

What would you recommend as a beginner watching zumba? Should I be behind the instructor or in front of the instuctor or doesn't it really matter where you stand? Scott

TinkrBelz My knees were so sore after I worked out with Zumba that first day. What advice can you give me so that my knees aren't so sore next time? I'm a big guy (320) so I'm sure that has a lot to do with it, but there should be something I can do so they aren't as sore next time. Scott

it's funny that you should mention not doing the moves right. That's going to take a while to get the moves down. I'm a guick learner but my hips and my butt just don't want to move in certain directions. I did read that you should pretend that when your at the gym you should think like nobody's watching so I think that's…

Hi Lilie Think of something that you can buy that when you reach your goal you can reward yourself with something (like a new bicycle, a new dress, a ring, just something to help motivate you). Scott

I just purchased one of the Biggest loser videos today and I'm planning on looking at it tomorrow. Today I'm just going to take a little well deserved break. Scott

Barefoot, that seems odd. Seems like it's asking for trouble. Especially if they might get too close to me and with my big 15 foot size shoe I wouldn't want to squash someones toes my first day. I better be on the lookout for barefoot dancers (lol). Scott
