I do only use two splendas in my coffee. I only drink a small cup. I might try using regular sugar and cut it down to one tablespoon.

Does Stevia or Truvia taste good in coffee?

Yeah B vitamins have helped me in the past. I even took the sublingual ones you put under your tongue for faster absorption. I need to pick up some more.

I might look in to getting some fish oil. I have also heard ginko works well too.

I've never heard of kettleworx. I might have to check that out!

When I was doing them regularly, my butt and thighs felt like they were on fire and getting harder!

I do the ones made by Danskin. You can get them at Walmart. I use the 5lb currently but will upgrade to the 10lbs next week. I really like them. They burn a ton of calories in a short amount of time and leave you feeling toned and energized.

Was the 717 calories in just 45 minutes? Oh my! That is awesome! I just found a great deal on the Turbo Jam workouts - 5 workouts for just 15 dollars off of Amazon. I'm going to use some of my Christmas money to get the Zumba for Wii. I will post later and let you know how much I burn. I have a Polar F6 and feel it is…

Yes, I do suffer from depression passed down from both of my parents. I'm on a low dose of Fluxotine (generic for Prozac). And I hardly even exercise anymore. I need to exercise more. I think depression may have a lot to do with it, that paired with the Epstein Barr. I have talked to my doc. There's nothing she said she…

HawaiianDreamer - I was thinking about all of the holiday stuff adding to my stress and causing me to get more tired too. Thanks for your suggestions.

You need to eat more calories. 1100 is not enough if you are doing all of that exercise. 1200 is minimum.

That is crazy! Thanks for these great facts! I'm definitely going to keep lots of water on hand!

To break through a plateau (which is what it sounds like you are in) try calorie cycling by going to this site: http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm There you can enter your information and it will give you a week's worth of calorie goals to aim for that stagger from high cals to low cals. Calorie…

Yes, please don't give up! The scale will move! It happened for me because I changed scales (my old one was giving me totally different readings one right after the other). I also didn't see a change for 3 weeks. Are you measuring yourself using measuring tape? You probably lost inches. Inches come off first while working…

What a cool blog! Thanks for sharing!

I agree, deblu, drinking every once in a while (like once every two weeks or so) won't hurt your weight loss goals. Red wine is said to be healthy for the heart in moderation. Now if you drink everyday then you do have a problem and would need help (rehab)

I've always wondered how many calories is in liquor like rum and vodka. When I go to the bar I always get captain and diet coke.

I'm not a big Corona fan. I'd rather drink a Miller Light any day though!

I'm throwing back a few Bacardi Razz's tonight since I already sabotaged my calorie goal with Thanksgiving dinner.

MGD Light 64 is the lightest beer. Not sure of the amount of alcohol in it.

My friend did the Master Cleanse and she said she felt great and lost 5lb in three days. If you drink caffeine and suddenly stop you will get major headaches! I might look into the Cabbage Soup Diet. It is expensive to do it? I'm looking for something cheap and natural.

I am also interested in a good cleanse to jumpstart my weight loss. What types of shakes do you drink? I was going to pick up some protein shakes from Walmart later. I have no idea what to buy. I'm going to be looking for some that are low in calories and sugar of course.

There is a kettlebells 5lb option because i added it into the database. I am about to increase to ten and I'll add that in too. Kettlebells can be found under strength training.

Welcome to MFP! I love this site as well! Been on here for about 17 days. It's an awesome site!

See I'm medium-framed according to the body-frame test I took on the link above. I always thought I was just small-framed because I was so short, but I was wrong. I am on the borderline. I have always been muscular and if I got down to 105, I would look anorexic and sickly and would be sick. I got down to 110 once after a…

I am 5'0 and got up to 143 when I was pregnant for my daughter. After I had her I quickly got back down to about 135. I then started to eat healthy and got down to what I am now 125. My goal weight is 115. I have a medium frame and muscular. I'm hoping to get down to 115 by February 2011. If I get down to 120 and maintain,…

That looks amazing! I think I might try making it!

Everyone looks wonderful and fit and healthy! Love all of the pics! All of you are such an inspiration to me!

I had two Thanksgiving dinners to go to on Thanksgiving and one is tomorrow (Saturday) because my mom had to work. I'm just eating a little bit of everything and working out extra hard! Lots and lots of water too!

I am 5'0 and 125lbs currently. My goal weight is to reach 114-115 lbs by February. That's my optimum/best weight for my height. I know what you mean about friends who just eat whatever and try to pressure you to be like that. Several of mine are constantly telling me I look great and don't need to lose any more weight.…
