My goal is to lose 31 pounds by July 25. I have lost 3 pounds since Jan 1 and I am on track for my goal.

I use an herbal supplement- Cascara Sagrada- I buy it at GNC it is very inexpensive and it works the same day. I take it about three days per week just to help keep things on track.

I dice them up, put them into a bowl and toss with olive oil and sprinkle cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice. Bake in oven for 25 minutes and they are super good.

Have 43 pounds to take off, definately need some motivation and encouragement.

yes this happened to me. My youngest child plays softball and we went to a tournament over the weekend and I ate a hamburger and milkshake and I was very ill for the entire weekend. Went to Dr. on Monday and it turned out my gall bladder was not functioning and had to be removed. They said it is common among people who…

I start week 4 tomorrow too. I really like it and can't wait to change it up!!!

i am a mom of 5 children( 4 which are teenagers) and we still eat hamburger helper and pizza but I buy healthier versions. I buy 95/5 lean ground beef and I buy ground turkey when I can sneak it in like chili, spaghetti and mexican dishes. I buy whole wheat pasta and make my own spaghetti sauces. I try and buy the freshest…

My husband and I had strawberry protein whey with 1 cup strawberries, 1 cup blueberries and 1/2 cup pomegranate juice and it was great. I have read that when picking out a protein powder the more protein the better and make sure to watch your sugar, some companies add more sugar to alter the taste. I bought Body Fortress…

I am with you. I am 37 years old and I am a mother of 5 children, work full time and I am a full time college student. I find it is hard to eat on a normal schedule because I am up all hours of the night finishing papers and never enough time to exercise. I will graduate next Saturday with my associates degree and I don't…

You can purchase it at GNC, but I agree that you should just stick with diet and exercise.

I usually go for a run either in the morning or after I get off work at 4pm. But tonight we had a reading thing at school and it was dark when we left so I watched football from the gazelle. Better than nothing!!!

I pulled mine out on Sunday and I have used it both nights. I put it in front of the TV tonight and watched the first half of Monday night football on it.

chew gum, it helps a lot

i too have had some troubles. I take Casa Sangrada it is an herbal supplement you can get it at GNC

so my BMR is 1544, I should eat no less than that??

Is it that your hungry or is it that you don't feel full. After a meal you should feel content, not full. This took me a long time to get used to. I always thought you should feel full all the time, and that's what got me to 250 lbs. After making this correction, I lost 76 lbs and I felt so much better. It really is a mind…

i trained for a marathon and used this 16 week running schedule and really enjoyed the extra push it gives you. http://www.marathonrookie.com/marathon-training.html

i have been for the last year and i learned so much, I lost 76 pounds and got within 20 pounds of my goal and decided I could do it on my own. It's harder than I thought it would be. The one thing i really liked was that it made the menu for me and if i didn't like it then you could swap it out for something you did like.

i was reading this story and it was like someone had written it for me. I am a mother of five and my heaviest weight was 250 and over the last couple of years I have taken off 76 lbs and I don't give myself credit either. But i decided to go back to school and it has cut into my exercise time and these last 20 lbs are not…

To calculate your body fat percentage, write down how much you weigh and multiply your weight by 703.

I do sugar free jello with fruit or eggo waffle toasted with fresh fruit

i usually get meat that is grilled and not fried, steamed vegetables and a side salad with light dressing. I have been known to carry some in my purse just in case.

I eat Kashi Go Lean cereal and skim milk and it has 22 g of protein.

My husband likes his pizza with BBQ sauce instead of tomato. The kids really like it too, because they get to make their own the way they like it.

I do the cooking every year for 30 people. The last two years I have cooked tings much healthier and thought I would get some complaints............no one even noticed!!! I made mashed potatos(1/2 potatos 1/2 cauliflower) with broth instead of milk, no butter because we put gravy on them, and all the pies I made with sweet…
