  • Well I love cake. I mean love it! So birthday cake for me. The problem I always have is the rest of the cake! I like the cupcake idea or get a small cake and freeze half. If you don't love cake then treat with what you love! Is it Pie or ice cream? Track it and move on . If you just don't want to slip consider treating…

  • I really like the Jessica Smith walking workout DVDs. They are resonably priced and don't require much space. She has workouts on you tube for free if you want to start with that. They are a half hour of a moderately challenging workout. Not as intense as say a T25.

  • Raw almonds, I count my portion for the day and have them in a bowl. When the hunger pangs come in between meals I find these work the best to relieve them. They are not salted so they don't make you crave more.

  • I saw this on u-tube and tried it .It was a back to basics kind of exercise. I am 53 and not in great shape and I got through it.Just listen to your body and don't do anything you are uncomfortable with. If I am doing a DVD and I can't do an exercise I will change it or modify it or even march in place or something till I…

  • I have not been to curves but to a similar circuit workout place for women.It is a great place to start but you may want to move into something more challenging later. I would not buy a long term membership.Usually you can try it for a week before you decide and then you will know how challenging it is for you.

  • Just because someone is overweight doesn't mean they aren't trying or on some type of program to lose. I don't know why they have to wear hideous clothes in the mean time or bury themselves in fabric on hot days or hide themselves away somewhere. I am 20 pounds overweight and my doctor says my numbers are as good as they…

  • Mine too .I do take comfort in the fact that pear shaped women tend to have less heart health and diabetes issues then their apple shaped sisters.As I lose weight it is always from the top down.I say I melt like a snowman.:smile: Cardio will take off the fat and the exercises will tone and strengthen your legs and make…
