I ditto that! Let go get em' girl!

I ordered the program and received it in the mail yesterday. Honestly, after reading all the information I'm sending it back. I don't have time to be using tally sheets and remembering how often I have or have not filled a colored container, and how many of what/when I'm suppose to eat it. I'd rather make healthy caloric…

Thank you all for the suggestions.

Sounds yummy. Going to be hard to stay away from the beans, my favorite.

Nothing wrong with a occasional cheat "meal". Just don't lose the whole day.

Love, love, love this DVD. I think it is her best so far. I'm on day 19.

Ryka.

I received this new Leslie Sansone DVD last week via Collage Video and I LOVE it! I have many of Leslie's DVD's and In my opinion this is her most intense workout yet. This is a 30 day challenge mixing her walk routine 3 days a week with a strength training program 3 days a week. Leslie still does her basic moves, knee…

My goal is to walk at an average speed of 3.8 MPH. I use a free app on my cell phone called Pedometer. This app records steps, calories burned, time walked, distance and speed. I wear an armband with my cell phone in it when I walk.

Monica has the right idea. I quit smoking almost a year ago and when I first quit I could not do more than a few minutes of any type of exercise. I started with Leslie Sansone's one mile walk and through the months have worked myself up. Her DVD's are unbeatable for us "older" ladies. Also recently I added Zumba Gold to my…

Thanks KimKuz99, I'll do that.

Oh I get your crack comparison, mine is Cool Whip Free. I'll put just a dollop on my fruit and when I finish that I go back to the fridge and just eat it straight out of the tub. The WHOLE tub. I buy the stuff a half dozen containers at a time. I am trying to ween myself off it and have gotten some control of it lately. I…

Minus the Monster drink and add a Starbucks and you'd be a girl after my own heart.

I just quit smoking in June of last year after smoking for 35 years. I shared the same fears of gaining weight that you do and those fears had sabotaged every other effort to quit prior. What was different this time is I found My Fitness Pal and about 6 weeks prior to quitting smoking I recorded everything I put in my…

Okay so I took the plunge and ordered a Body Media. You all talked me into it :) Thanks for the great reviews between the 2 devices, I read all of the posts and decided a BM may be just what I "need" (aka want).

I would say I have a large frame and I'm 5'8". My goal weight is 128#'s.

Have you tried Greek yogurt? I eat yogurt every morning with my flaxseed mixed in and I prefer lowfat regular yogurt. Recently with everyone making such a big deal about Greek yogurt I felt I was missing something. I picked up some of the Greek from a few different companies and cannot eat it. The consistency is tart,…

Hi Dawn. I read the same thing in some woman's magazine, I think it was For Women First magazine. Anyway I ran to my local health food store and grabbed a box of 100 tea bags. I've probably finished at least a half dozen pitches of it and have not noticed any burst of energy or help with weight loss. I will say though it…

Add me to the list. Yes, I fell off the wagon and was probably dragged a few miles before the wagon ran over me :) But this morning I weighed myself, admitted to my temporary setback and pulled myself back up. I refuse to beat myself up over it and instead will look ahead.

Hi Ashlee, I use Webmd. They actually have a program like My Fitness Pal but I just use the calculators and not the food diaries and such. Try this link and I think you'll be able to navigate where you want to go from there. http://www.webmd.com/diet/food-fitness-planner/

I'm going to have to read this book because I'm in the same boat the other ladies are in. I'm actually below my goal weight, I am 53 years old, post menopausal, 5' 8" and 123 pounds. I should look and feel like a twig but my belly is still an issue. I have a taunt belly but its large and I'm at my wits end. I walk…

Hubby is a CPA and will answer your question if he can.

Cbear I agree, I'm 5'8" and at my goal weight of 125, this is where I feel comfortable and look good (not scrawny at all). I think it may depend on your body type over all as to what goal weight compliments your body type.

Howdy. I'm 53 and now weigh what I did in high school. I'm also 82 days smoke free! What prompted me to visit MFP was a want to quit smoking, I've been a rather heavy smoker for 35 or so years. Previous attempts to quit left me with 5, 10 or 15 pounds of extra weight I didn't want or need so I would always go back to…

Oh I like this question. Ditto please.

Hi Tony, Another Texan here in rainy Mountain Home. Just a quick question...Are "white" carbs really my enemy? Try as I might I have a hard time with whole grain breads so I just don't eat breads at all. How really horrible is a white bread sandwich every once in a while?

Wow, wow, wow, you are an inspiration to many. Congrats! You are beautiful!

Yes the recipe posted is one single serving.

Found this one on Spark People, VERY yummy! You can use leftovers for stuffing tortillas or pita or you can use it on salads. Simple and tasty. Crockpot Chicken Taco Stew 1 onion chopped 1- 16 oz can black beans (not drained) 1- 16 oz can kidney beans (not drained) 1- 16 oz can corn (drained) 1- 8 oz can tomato sauce 2-…
