same for me.

I do cardio 50 to 60 minutes 6 times a week and lift/squats 6x a week and I do a cardio dvd 4x a week. I workout a lot but I like it. I have a goal to lose 70lbs and have lost 25 so I have a long way to go.

I do agree that you should talk to your doctor. Recent guidelines recommend much smaller weight gains for normal size women and almost none for overweight and a loss for obese women but your doc should guide you. I actually lost 10lbs with my daughter, I was obese at the time and I was sick for all 40 weeks. My doc thought…

Actually ( I was a cholesterol nurse at a big hospital for years), the best thing you can do to increase your HDL (good cholesterol) is exercise (cardio) esp walking. Good oils, nuts help but cardio is best. Also avoid excessive vitamin E. It is imperative to get it greater than 50 if you can and higher if possible.

One thing I have found is to take a biotin supplement (b vitamin). It really keeps my hair soft, shiny and healthy esp with so much abuse from exercise, cutting calories, all the washing.

You need to do that but it does ask every 10 lbs.

Check out craigslist. You can often get great deals.

Amazing! I just started a couple of days ago. Hoping I see results like that!

I lost a bunch of weight several years ago and maintained up until a year ago. A year ago I gave up diet pop to try to be healthier. What happened? I gained a ton of weight because I was drinking tons of other stuff with calories. When I have a diet pop, I have no desire to eat other crap. I say keep drinking.

The side effect you are having from Topamax is rare but happens in some people. It will eventually slow down and your appetite will normalize but it may take several months. I took it many years ago and had the same effect (that is how I learned so much about it). No matter what I ate, I lost weight. Part of it raises…

Not true at all.

Ditto on Bolthouse, the yogurt based ones are fantastic and low in calorie, good ingredients. I didn't care for the new french one but otherwise all were good.

Ditto on Old Navy Sweetheart jeans. I actually love their Dreamer and Flirt as well.

Sparkpeople has a great recipe calculator. I like it best.

Artic Zero is nasty.

Giant lie. It is a fat laden product compared to other forms of protein but it does not slow your metabolism. Where do people get this stuff?

How about increasing your fiber intake? It is a filling and good way to aid weightloss? That and good protein.

Loss of estrogen and testosterone as we get older. It is a bummer! I could drop weight easily in the past, not anymore.

If it is cooked right, it is supposed to be a little crunchy. It is not the same as white rice. If it is gummy, you cooked it too long.

Her newest, Extreme Shed and Shred is awesome.

Get her new one, Extreme Shed and Shred. It is great!

use leaner meat (tastes better), mrs dash, oatmeal. I use 2 lbs of venison or buffalo 1/2 cup oatmeal 1/2 can low sodium tomato soup egg 1/2 tsp pepper 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp mrs dash onion chopped low sodium ketchup with some hot sauce shaken in (1/2 cup) Mix together Bake at 400 for 1-1.5 hrs, last half hour put lower sugar…

How is everyone doing? I need to still do my 100 for today.

I finished Insanity and so far I have found nothing that is as difficult and honestly most are too easy. I found Jillian easy in the past but I don't have any of her dvds right now to compare. I did Bob Harpers Inside Out after finishing Insanity and they made me crazy b/c they were so easy. I also tried Chalean Extreme…

I did 500 last night. Going to do 200 tonight. I think I will have to have some kind of log to keep up with how many I have done.

I will do it. I am behind so I will work at catching up tonight. I should have 400 done by today so maybe I will aim to do 200 tonight, 200 tomorrow and Wed and then I will be caught up.

Thanks! I think it will be p90x. My goals are just to be in shape. I can do my own lifting if strength is not included and I do love cardio. I love insanity and Shaun T, just need a break. It was the best program ever! I cannot believe how much better shape I am in! I just need to work harder than these My Trainer Bob…

Cardio recovery is a breeze. It is not hard at all.

this exactly.
