  • I know what you mean! I LOVE chocolate. I have found the VitaTops brownies and muffin tops are really good. Also if you like ice cream Skinny Cow Fudge bars are only 100 calories and very good. I have stopped all artificial sweeteners, found out they make you crave sugary sweet stuff. That is just plain cruel! Take your…

  • Try drinking the low cal low carb beers like MGD 64. My sister switched to those and she can have 2 for the calories of 1.

  • On thing I have found that I love is EAS AdvantEdge Carb Control shakes! They are 110 calories, no sugar, and 17 grams protein. I drink for breakfast or late afternoon snack. They really keep you satisfied for hours. They are $4.75 a four pack at Target in the area with Diet products.

  • My trainer has me do "chin sit ups" Lay on your back, knees bent,, arms bent out to the side with hands by your ears( > shape) Lift your chin to the ceiling 20 -25 times, DON'T pull your head up with your hands. It has really helped my abs. You can also do this with your legs straight up in the air, or straight out flat on…

  • Where do I sign up? My mother was told I was over weight at 3 months old. No joking she has my baby medical book to prove it. Now I am just eating healthier, making better choices, and SLOWLY very slowly losing weight. I exercise at the Y with a trainer 3 times a week and also exercise on my own. I am stronger but…

  • I was told that natural sugar in fruit or milk doesn't "count" the way added sugar does. I have started "snacking" on greek yogurt, it is sweet and has lots of protein. My favorite is Chobani cherry. Good Luck!

  • My trainer at the Y measured each arm, upper and forearm, each calf, thigh, hips, low waist(belly button) high waist(natural curve by ribs),under bust, full bust, under arms, and your neck. I didn't lose but 10 pounds in 3 months, but I lost a total of 20 inches!! I was amazed. Good luck!

  • Shop at Aldi's for some items, wait for Dillon's(Kroger) to have one of their amazing sales and use coupons when possible. Aldi's has great prices on fresh produce most of the time. Some of their Fit & Active products are good and they have 100% money back guarantee if you don't like something. I agree with everyone on the…

  • Some of the fat cooks out, but most stays. I use 96/4 extra lean beef and there is almost no fat or any liquid to drain, it's all meat.

  • You don't have to give up anything, you can opt to do more. Like volunteering or even exercising everyday. Good Luck! :happy:

  • If you go over on carbs, fruits and veggies are OK by me. You don't want to over do added sugars, starches, and processed foods according to a dietician. Have you tried the Sara Lee DeLightful bread? It is pretty good, low cal and low carb, but high fiber so it fills you up. Good luck with your finess journey.

  • Great idea! My trainer at the YMCA say anything you put in your mouth is a "diet". Eating sensible with occasional splurge has help me loose over 30 pounds in the last year. I wish my mom would of had that attitiude when I was 13! Instead she was always questioning every bite I ate and telling me I shouldn't eat this or…

  • Make sure you are getting enough Vitamin D. Most women need 2000 mg a day, not the 400 mg that is recommended. It really helps brain fog. My friend was told she was depressed and when she demanded the doctor test her vitamin levels D was negative on the test. She was given 50000 units of D 3x a week for 3 weeks and her…

  • I used to get them too, now I take a calcium/magnesium supplement. Try raising your calcium to 2000mg per day and your magnesium to at least 500 mg per day. I np longer get leg cramps.
