sorry, I didn't see your reply until now....no I haven't found anyone else doing this diet/workout

guess I belong in this group.....I haven't had any hot flashes yet, but periods are very irregular, and heavy sometimes, and then only spotting some months. I gain weight just opening the refrigerator!!! I am doing the venus workout/diet, and into my 3 rd week. I am also a certified fitness trainer, which is really…

Yes, lift weights!!! it will make you have a much better shape than any cardio! You can get a good workout with just a few different size dumbells and a bench.....don't forget squats and lunges! They burn a lot of calories :)

Dont waste your money on it....tried it (took 3 bottles of it), only thing I liked about it, was it makes you have a raspberry taste in your mouth! I didnt lose any weight. Eat raspberries instead!

My response was for jbutterflye.....someone posted the same time I did but beat me to it! Lol

Pretty

Everybody has a different opinion on everything! There is a doctor that wrote a book called "the wheat belly" I haven't read it but from what I have heard he says that wheat can be a problem for some people. Something to remember is wheat today isn't what it was years ago......pesticides, chemicals, and now GMO's have…

'Chubby chaser' that's funny!

I drink almond milk( unsweetened kind), because an 8 oz glass has only 35 calories and has more calcium than milk. I do like the chocolate almond mlk as an occasional treat!

Great ideas! Here I was getting bored with eating it plain.....thanks everyone. Cant wait to try it with the frozen berries!!

I had 4 children too. For me, just doing sit ups and crunches didnt work. I find it helps to do several different exercises, like knee ups( hanging from a bar), leg raises(lying on bench), planks, along with side bends, and twists(using empty barbell,or even a broom) jogging in place, raising your knees high is good too!

I am quite a bit older than you, but feel free to add me :)

Nope never

I agree with things dietstokes suggested....along with skin brushing, afterwards,massage an essential oily (mixed with a carrier oil, like almond oil),into affected areas. Some good ones are lemon, rosemary, and geranium...have to masssage the oils into the skin, rubbing areas quite hard. It really does help......I have…

Thank you .....I will check it out

I wouldn't recommended raspberry keytones. I took two bottles of them( not all at once! Lol) and it was a waste of money. I am taking L- Carnitine and have seen results. Been taking it for 2 weeks now

MoreBean13, that's funny! But probably true!

I just saw that your kids are young. I would just put the peanut butter in their shakes. That would give them a good amount of protein.

I would leave the protein powder in, if it was an all-natural one( most of them aren't),without artificial sweeteners, flavors, etc. I have been giving my son protein shakes since he was 14. He is 17 now. He plays sports and doesn't get enough protein in his diet.

I am sleep deprived too. I usually go to sleep ok, but if something wakes me up, or someone, like husband getting up, in the middle of the night, I cant go back to sleep......I have heard that not getting enough sleep, can make you gain weight, so that concerns me too!

Thanks for the responses. I was just thinking of trying it. Feel like I need to do something different to lose weight

As other people have said weighted squats, lunges,and i do leg lifts with ankle weights( on hands and knees),lots of them! Brazil butt lift is a great workout too! It uses ankle weights and bands

I usually just down a tablespoon by itself or I use a tablespoon on my salad, instead of dressing. I use braggs with the 'mother'

Going to try these....someone said they made them also, and they were good :)

The idea behind it is, you start out on the high carb, low fat day and it's supposed to give your metabolism a boost and the next day you cut carbs( not totally) and eat more healthy fats. Then alternate high carb, low fat and low carb, high fat days until you get to Sunday. And that is your cheat day. You basically eat…
