My parents have weight related issues (diabetes, blood pressure, knee replacement) and I know that I am heading down the same path if I don't take control now. My youngest son told me I was fat. He wasn't being mean just honest. When I am their age I want to spend money on travel and fun not on prescriptions.

I started to cook by finding a recipe I wanted to make and then asking my coworkers at the time a ton of questions on how to cook it. I am sure they thought I was an airhead but this before the internet. I moved on to Alton Brown recipes and then Cook's Country magazine. I love the website Simply Scratch and all of her…

I cannot say enough positive things about my Schwinn Airdyne. One of the reasons they have been around forever is that they work and the bike is built like a tank. My knees and my right foot are toast but I can do my bike just about everyday without much pain. I call it my granny bike but I really do enjoy watching a dvd…

You could see if you have a bodpod in your area. It's a bit of cash but it would give you an accurate baseline on your fat % - it's what they use on the biggest loser. I live outside of Akron and the University has one. It's free to employees and $50 to outsiders. It's a bummer that you are doing what you need to do and…

I wouldn't freak out. If you can afford a blood sugar monitor and test strips (Cvs sells cheap generic monitors) test for a week. I have morning blood sugar issues but my a1c is normal.

I'm officially out of the running to finish JMBR by the end of the year. I have morton's neuroma in my right foot and the dvds are messing with it. I can pedal my exercise bike without pain but can only do the dvds about every other day. javascript:add_smiley('sad','post_body')javascript:add_smiley('sad','post_body')

Big lots regularly has small rice cookers for $11-$14. I make rice a lot.

I remember a Weight Watcher leader telling the group about how bad he smelled when he lost weight if he didn't get in a lot of water. I notice that my breath is sort of funky when I am loosing weight. Nicole

You look great! Love the Green Tea suggestion!!

I wish I saw this three hours ago. I would have took a picture of the table in my office 3 dozen dunkin donuts. I walked past them and avoided the middle table all morning. They are now gone and none went in my mouth ;-)!

Coach's oats!

Did you try ebay? I bought a polar ft40 for $60 that was opened but new.

*****cakes and she is vegan!

Wow! Amazing transformation!

Reformed diet crack addict. I went cold turkey after last new year. I went from 6 a day down to maybe one a week. I started drinking flavored seltzer this summer. I like Seagrams brand but it seems to be feast or famine with the selecton. I like the bubbles! No artificial flavors or sweeteners. A real sugar sweetened coke…

I travel for work and sometimes Panera and Subway are the best choices in the places that I am sent. If I am at a location for more than a day, I will find a grocery. I usually eat a veggie sub with cheese/oil & vinegar from subway or a greek salad from Panera. Thanks!

I agree with the other posters, this does not sound normal.

You both look great!

Smucker's natural peanut butter, greek yogurt in the large tubs, bag of frozen chicken tenderloins, frozen broccoli, frozen stir fry vegetable, block of extra sharp cheddar cheese, black beans dry, sweet potatoes, triscuits or wasa crackers, apples, bananas, tub of organic spinach, eggs, oatmeal, milk, bread, Newman's own…

Beans are super easy and I know Aldi's has a nice selection. I use dry ones. My favorite way to make black beans is to turn them into sweet potato & black bean burritos. Cook 2 sweet potatoes in the microwave, cut in half and mash up the middles in a bowl with a bit of chili powder. Spread the sweet potatoes in a tortilla…

I have a serious issue with night eating. It was awful but increasing protein through out the day helped. I also keep peppermint or mint tea around to drink when I have issues.

My husband met Richard Simmons a while ago and said he was totally wacky but a very sweet guy! It's nice what you are doing for your mom.

I usually say "I'm not drinking so I can drive your drunk butts home!"

YES!!!! Fat cells are full of estrogen. Losing weight makes me feel like I have permanent PMS.

I am struggling with getting the time of day for the workout right. I have arthritis in my knees and shoulders and mornings I am fairly stiff. In the evenings I am tired. Mornings are better timewise so I think I will have to get up early enough to get warmed up. I completed the workouts for week 1 (again) last and will…

When I was in my teens my period stopped for 9 months due to dieting. I took a few month of eating better for it to come back. I had two boys and 20+ years if periods so no permanent damage was done.

This is so true!

Take your tongue,try to touch the tip of your nose and hold it for a few seconds. I worked with a older lady that she tried to do this periodically through the day to keep her neck and chin tight. That said, it is part genetics and at 43 I am start to see the first signs of a waddle :-(

I have a Schwinn air dyne. It's really well made and sturdy. I bought mine new but you can find them on Craigslist. When I picked mine up a lady was having one serviced that had 80,000 miles on it. The bike has arms that move when you pedal that work out your arms, chest and core.
