  • i too am very sorry about your mom's passing. am very glad you see this as a wake up call though. use this terrible event as motivation. i didn't know her, but as a mom i know i hate seeing my daughter living in ways i know are unhealthy. she is not overweight, but she is a smoker (at 22) and i, like you work in the…
  • exercise a little more tomorrow and try to keep closer tabs on the calories. don't give up! sometimes if i add the food before i actually eat it helps me to decide whether i actually really want those calories or not. peanut butter and carrots have been the most deceiving to me! keep on going!
  • i spin 3 to 4 times a week and burn about 400 calories for 45 minutes give or take some depending how hard i work. i used to to a little kickboxing--i hated it because it was hard for me, but it really gave me a great workout and burned the most calories. also if you have direct tv, they have quite a few short video on…
  • LOVE roasted cauliflower w/ EVOO as well as mashed cauliflower! also stopped eating meat so am finding so many ways to eat now and not miss it at all!
  • i love the brushing your teeth trick! i'll have to try that. i also eat sugar free bread and butter pickles--0 calories! if you're in texas and close to a bucee's they have a jar of candied jalapenos that are wonderful!

  • i'm a physical therapist asst and treat this quite often. really need to stretch out your calf muscles and your achilles tendon. you can do this sitting or standing. sitting: sit w/ legs stretched straight out and place a belt or towel just around under your toes (ball of foot) and pull back, hold stretch for a good 10…
  • fantastic! you do look so much younger and happier. not to mention i bet you feel great! keep it up!
  • your pic shows a glass of wine. be careful w/ alcohol as they are full of empty calories! if i know i will be drinking, i definitely will make sure to exercise that morning to give me extra calories and then i will eat a light breakfast and maybe a hearty salad for lunch w/o adding things like crackers or croutons. then i…
