I think you just have to decide to start eating healthy. Not that you can never again have a fast food meal or a fattening starbucks drink, but decide it's just not gonna be part of your regular diet. If you have to, limit yourself to once week, then move to once a month. For me, having a fast food meal, once a month, has…

I had a Tae-Bo tape several years ago and lost it, so haven't done it since...looking back maybe it was intentional. I haaaaated it, but cause it huuuuuuuurt!!! J/K I've never worked so hard from watching a video. I really think it's amazing. Also, it works the problem areas for women the most. As far as I know, there's…

I was one of those people who didn't diet. I always believed excercise was the only way to go. This site really helped me combine working out with watching my calories. I hope it's as helpful for you as it has been for me. Also, this message board is by far the friendliest and most helpful board I have seen, everyone is…

That's awesome that you are gonna do it together. I know that makes a big difference for me, that my husband is trying to work out too. He's not watching his calories like I am, but he's working out. Did I read that you recently quit smoking? Congrats if that's you! My husband and I need to both do that. We are waiting…

That's a cool idea to have a biggest loser competition at work. Congrats on the 8 lbs! I have lost about the same, feels good. It's great that you had a breakthrough too. Hope your weigh in goes well! Keep it up! :happy:

Your situation is different from mine, but the philosophy is still the same. I can't imagine how hard it must be to find time to go to the gym. Maybe the first step could be working out once a week, when it's most convienient. I heard someone say recently that no one does big things, they do lots of little things that,…

I'm sad the brown team is gone. I wanted them to win the whole thing. I am very glad the white team is gone, but I do feel bad for Amanda. My favorite now is the orange team, but I think people are gonna be scared of them and vote them off the first chance they get.

Making myself a priority is definitely a new concept to me. I am a stay at home mom of a four year old and have a hard time buying clothes or even getting a haircut. I finally had a revelation that my whole family would be happier if I took the time for myself to do what was important to me. If it's getting in shape then…

Thanks a lot everyone! I will definitely try harder to be closer to my goal for the day.

It's gotta be the steaming. My family has made a version of mashed cauliflower since I was a kid and if it's crunchy, it's just not cooked enough. With cauliflower, the flavor you had before won't change by cooking it 5 min. longer. Try a piece and don't stop cooking till it is mushy if you're going to be mashing it. If…

Hi, just joined a couple weeks ago. Trying to lose weight before a trip to Mexico in late Feb. I absolutely love this site. I have been reading the message boards and really like the community as well as the log for food and excercise, it's keeping me accountable. Does anyone know if eating a low-calorie diet can be bad…

Funny you should ask....I was looking for healthy recipes this morning and came across a very helpful site that has all the nutritional info, weight watcher pts, and even commentary on how healthy the recipes are, and they are all veggie recipes. I saved it because my mom is a vegetarian, so here I'll share it again!…

Hi! I'm new to this site as well, but I have been doing a lot of reading about fitness and weight loss to stay motivated. I am a stay at home mom, and got in the habit of not eating anything till after I make lunch for my daughter around 1 or 2PM. Changing my eating habits to 5 or 6 times a day, small healthy snacks made a…
