Yes, I take it for rosacea. I take a probiotic every day. I have not experienced any GI problems.

I lift 3x/week. I run/do zumba/yoga/some other thing 2 to 3 times per week. I started in January of this year. If I skip something, it is the cardio. But I really try to do it at least 2x/week. I have noticed amazing changes in my body due to lifting. I am an apple, I have lost 15.5 inches on my waist! Still an apple…

Thanks! I have never been able to figure out how to post actual photos, so frustrating!

Can you walk?

In February I lost 9 pounds, and began exercising. In March, I would like to lose 10 pounds and begin strength training.

Yes, I am a nurse so I am running around on my feet for most of the shift! This leaves me quite exhausted at the end of the day. I switch to nights next week. Should me 'interesting.' :)

For me, having a "cheat" day has enabled me to stick with it this time. If I am struggling one day, I just tell myself in 6 (5, 4, whatever) days I can have this if I really want it. It allows me to be moderate. In prior attempts to lose weight I would be rigid, black and white, and extreme. If I had one piece of…

I do sometimes, but not usually. If I stopped losing weight, I would probably start logging them more strictly, so I could reduce the intake. So far, that hasn't been an issue.

I am going to!!!! :)

I do Zumba Rush on Kinnect. I love it. I do the 45 minute classes, high intensity.

My goal is to lose 10 pounds and exercise AT LEAST 4 days a week.

Having a cheat meal once a weak.

I love Aldi! We have three kids, and we save tons of money there. I do use their frozen chicken breasts, and their 93% lean ground beef. I have also bought their frozen raw easy peel shrimp and it was good too.

Light popcorn, veggies + hummus, apple + reduced fat cheese, whole grain cereal with skim milk. If I don't have any calories left I'll have hot tea with splenda and a splash of skim milk. I try to save at least 200 calories for after dinner because I stay up late and am a snacker.

I alternate yoga and aerobic workout days. The yoga workouts that I have help increase my flexibility (important to prevent injury), upper body strength, focus and stamina. My HR does increase during yoga, but not to the degree it does with my tae bo workouts. I gain and enjoy different benefits from each kind of exercise.

I check my blood pressure frequently. I have been on BP meds for >4 years. My numbers were consistently in the 140's, even with medication, but now it's running in the 110's. I am going to my doctor next week to see if she wants to alter it at all. I bet she'll just have me come back in more frequently as I continue to…

Thank you for the tips! Yes, my mistake, I meant 7p to 7a :)

I am 5'10.5" and would like to lose 119 pounds. I'm working on it! ETA: I have lost 24 pounds since Dec. 31st.
