Protein and fiber rich foods will keep you satisfied a lot longer. Think whole grains and lean proteins. Lots of options available. And a good protein bar to keep in your bag or purse is Think Thin Protein bars with 20gram of protein and 0 sugar. I keep those on hand for when I know I'm not going to be able to get a meal…

You're on the right track... maybe it's the type of food you're eating. Stay away from processed food/high sodium food. Eat protein, healthy grains, veggies and berries. And really stick to your calorie range. If you do that and walk 4 miles a day you should lose up to 2lbs a week! Good luck!

If you're doing most of your walking on a treadmill try and mix up your speed with your incline; like lower it to a 3.5mph and 6.0 incline and then go a little faster and then lower the incline... if you change it up 3 or 4 times during your total time on the treadmill it will help you burn more calories and makes it a…

Try Circuit Training... that is what the 30 Day Shred is; cardio mixed with strength training. I'm doing the same video right now too, mixing it up with the Biggest Loser Last Chance Workout.

That is what gets me through the day. Oroweat Health Full bread is full of grains and fiber and is only 80 calories a slice. Try to stay away from…

Wow, I'm exhausted just reading your schedule. I don't think you should feel guilty at all for letting laundry pile up or the house getting messy... you apparently get quite a lot done in your day so give yourself a break. I'm a stay at home mom and I still let the laundry pile up sometimes... that's just life. Spending…

Thanks for all the suggestions! I think tonight I will try some protein an hour before bed and not look at the tv or computer either... see if that helps. Also, I may start trying that one red potato a day. I really do seem to have this problem mostly when I cut out the white food. Of course it doesn't help either that my…

I used to use the Body Bug and it measures the amount of calories you burn by wearing a sensor on your upper arm. It NEVER matched what the machines said, especially the elliptical machine. It was a real eye opener for me as to what the machines said and what the BB said, such as the EM would say something like I burned…
