I'm soon to be 56 and have about 50 pounds I'd LOVE to lose. Live in Alabama, court reporter, sit most of day on job (and surfing), exercise on elliptical and recumbent and like to do DVDs (yoga type) at home, and am getting my new FitBit in mail hopefully today! I am a pretty good eater and exerciser till the time when…

Congratulations - you are doing fantastic!

I'm SO proud of you! What a great feeling! I hope this year brings all your goals true and lots of fun times in your skinny self! Laura

Hi! I'm Laura and have struggled with my weight all my life - never terribly obese, just borderline and always wishing and working to get to ideal. Right now I'm 185 pounds and would love to weight 130-140 and keep it off, be healthy stay on goal. My knees have been "popping" along with other bones in the last few months,…

Hi All! Been hanging around home all day and somehow when I do that, food is always on my mind! If I go do the exercise I've prelogged I ought to be fine though. Thought I'd share one of the meals I enjoyed today: 1/3 pkg (of the 1lb) Trader Joe's Frozen Mixed Seafood Blend (shrimp, calamari and bay scallops) heated…

How lovely you look -- congratulations on some amazing willpower! Two years is a long time to ante up the stamina to stay with it and yet you did and wow at your success!

They used the hula hoops for all kinds of stuff, rotated it on shoulders, overhead, etc. Wasn't as easy as it looked and after it bonked me and bursted my lip, I just left to do the…

And I bursted my lip when I tried it :-)

Try dried cherries too -- they are wonderful! My yummy breakfast is oatmeal with dried cherries and toasted almonds or walnuts and Splenda to sweeten.

I'd just smile and be happy :-)

Old Beach Boys music -- makes me pump the pedals SO much faster.

I read reviews on her other DVDs and saw them today at Costco for $7+ each: No More Trouble Zones, Banish Fat Boost Metabolism and Yoga Meltdown. BUT instead of doing a new one tonight, I just did Level 2 again. Wasn't really motivated much tonight. A yoga I LOVE is Self's Ultimate De-Stress Yoga DVD. My "extended" workout…

I like Level 2 fine but really hate Level 3 - way too hard for me.

I couldn't do them well at all the first time, but within a few days, I was doing fine.

I'm in again -- started in February and have probably done most everyday for three weeks. Hard but very good. I'm doing Level 2 now -- not that Level 1 ever got easy :-)
