YES!!! I've found that I'm extremely ADD when it comes to exercise so I'm trying to change it up. WII fitness is fun,and has lots of options (but now I'm getting bored with that) HOWEVER-I am facing surgery for my back and have been doing my physical therapy "core muscle training"' religiously for more than a year. I hope…

As a former runner who fell and was on crutches forever -- here's some tips- wrap gauze around the handles and armpit handles. Ice helps with the pain. Do wimpy arm weights while sitting -- you'll feel somewhat righteous-lol. Do core exercises for your tummy.

Get someone to help you - a friend or a relative who will be with you through the duration -- two people would be better -- one who will be a cheerleader and one who will keep you accountable. Know that there will be bad days but don't let that completely derail you. Plan A LOT of little rewards - new blouse-new…

1. Sweatbands (and that 80s look IS hot!) and buy some Refresh Plus eye drops (at your local pharmacy or at Sam's Club where you can get 10 billion for less - lol). They come in easy disposable containers and rinse your eyes out with "normal" stuff - not like Visine. We use them a lot during allergy season too!

Portions are an issue -- remember a single portion is the size of you palm or a deck of cards. Also, a big factor is your metabolism. If it's low, you have to eat fewer calories. If you want to add calories, make sure it's healthy food like fresh fruit which is in season now. Good luck!

I'm new to this but well seasoned as a dieter--I should win first place in the yo yo dieting department! I need motivating friends as well. So, I'll be your cheerleader if you'll reciprocate!

calf cramps could be caused by a lack of potassium--eat bananas and potatoes to boost low potassium levels

What's the calorie count? This looks delicious!!!

Your body goes into "shock" mode and will store fat for the "famine" you are putting it through--hence the weight gain. Follow the plan--daily. Overdoing it one day won't make a great deal of difference in the long run but weight loss and fitness is a life long battle. Additionally, there's water weight gain, muscle gain,…

Eat raw foods--stay away from dried, canned and processed. Dried fruits will send your sodium counts over the top, canned foods have tons of sodium and processed foods are like lunch meat. Also check those protein bars, they usually have lots of sodium. Also, pre-packaged tv dinners, pop, and anything "diet" has extra salt…
