  • I have about 25lbs I have been trying to deal with for awhile now. I'd be happy to go on this journey with you.

  • Carnation breakfast powder mix. Chocolate is okay, but strawberry and vanilla are good. You don't need a whole packet. And, you get some vitamins too. I like to add some almond slivers to the vanilla.

  • Old school method to find shoes: Look for shoes labeled "Running" at the store. The most important things to consider are 1) comfort and 2) weight. I do a "hand" test by comparing the weight of different shoes in each hand. Make sure to swap hands too so that you really get a good idea of the weight. Lighter shoes usually…

  • I use two cookbooks: Weight Watchers New Complete (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0470170018/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=002863716X&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1R1DPFEQDJ5DYBBMBEC0) and New Dieter's…

  • I posted earlier this week when I was feeling really discouraged. Everyone was so helpful and their advice may help you too. The first thing that I have noticed making a difference is finding the appropriate amount of water intake for my body. Apparently, I need at least 3qts of water a day! I lost 7lbs in a few days just…

  • Oh, I forgot to post that I have had my thyroid tested recently and it is fine. Thanks for all of the suggestions, I feel much more motivated now than when I originally posted. I will check out the book rec also.

  • Do you think it would help if I run three days a week and lift for two? The time I spend at the gym is the best I can do. On a good night, I can get a video in at home too. But I can't count on that. I am careful about logging my intake.

  • I have never used those videos, but I use a couple of the Crunch videos. It does take time to learn the routines, but I find the combination of several videos gets me the workout I am looking for. I keep waiting for a two year old to crawl between the legs of the instructors though. Those ladies don't understand challenge!…
