I just bought the book...I have been doing atkins for 3 months and have lost 30 lbs and looking to change it up and continue to lose.....getting bored so I have to find my happy place again :)....but seriously low carb has changed my life.....i have done every diet out there and this has been effortless...on atkins my…

Hi there JAPS4, I have never heard of buttercup squash......do you mean butternut squash or is it just another name for some other kind of squash???? Looks yummy :)......

Hi super_mom, I am currently following low carb ....and I wouldn't recommend removing carbs all together....your body needs them but you don't need as many as most people eat on a daily basis....I tried removing them all together and got sooooo lethargic, tired, had memory fog, slept alot etc...not fun at all.....but by…

Hi, How many carbs and sugar per bar? I live in ottawa, canada do you know if they sell them there? thanks cathy

Your so right.....it is a matter of time and effort.......I have just such a hard time to keep the momentum going and then after one slip I revert back to my old ways......I am an all or nothing kind of person :).....I am either completely perfect or so bad......my added motivation this time is I am turning 40 in May and…

New to turbo jam.....and I LOVE it :).......I used the turbo scultping on sunday and the fat blaster on tuesday (couldn't do the whole thing through, I had to stop a few times and walk it out) but it was so much fun...can't wait to try cardio party 1 next......I am a TJ convert :).....so far this week I have lost 3…

I have soooo many resolutions (I make a list every year)...but I would say my top 5 are: 1- to lose this annoying 60-80 lbs (I turn 40 in 2009 and want to start my 40's in style :)) 2- I have decided to go back to school and will be enrolling in a 2 year program in the next week or so.....so my resolution is to be able to…

One of my favorite sites is a live camera set up in an african animal reserve......it is live 24 hrs a day near a small pond of water.......it is so exciting when you see elephants, monkeys etc......but then there are times when there is nothing..........there are three different live cam sites on this one site...if you go…

Welcome fellow Canadian :).....I am from Ottawa (Ontario) and love this site......great information, able to watch calories and always great advice :).....good luck in your weight loss journey :)....

Something else that you might want to address with your husband is the comment you made about your husband and daughter joking about your weight......I am sure he doesn't mean to do it but he is sending such a bad message to your young daughter and could really hurt her in the end.....and if she ever gains weight it could…

What I am going to have for lunch is whole grain bread with a tablespoon PB, cottage cheese and cucumber sticks..........what I really want is a harvey burger with onion rings :) lol......

Has anyone tried core rythems? I saw the infomercial and it looks like alot of fun....but.....I am wondering if it is a good workout or not......it would be great if it was, and it was fun :).....looks like it would be great for the waist/abs......anyone know???? thanks

I am the same as you.......going from eating things that I love to eating cottage cheese and yogurt isn't easy.......when i start a new way of eating i start by trying to make things healthier and cut back on the things that just can't be made healthier :).....although i have to say if i start an excersise routine at the…

Start now and do Jillian's 30 day shred.....i had to fit into a bridesmaid dress this past summer and needed to lose a full dress size in about 3 weeks.....so i did the 30 day shred and not only did i fit in it and had it zip up, it was a little loose on me.......so between that and spanx you should should be just…

My best friend use to be an aspiring actress a few years back and she went for an audition and it was for a weigh loss product and what they did was to get her to wear baggy clothing, slouch slightly and basically look overweight..........now to give you some perspective on how unfair it really is.....my friend is about 6…

I already have "learn & burn", "20 minute workout", and "turbo sculpt".....I dont' remember buying them but i must have a couple of years ago :) lol.....and i noticed alot of the packages come with those 3 included.....so i am just trying to find single dvd's to add to those that i have already.......from what i can see I…

I am looking at buying the turbo jam cardio party dvd but i see there are like 3 different versions (mabey more I don't know)......which ones seems to be the most effective (I have about 80 lbs to lose)......not sure the running time of these dvd's or the difference between them all......any help would be much…

Love it......it is a peice of equiptment that I keep going back to time after time.....I go through phases where i get bored so i do some dvd's etc...but always go back to it....i have it in frount of the tv so it takes my mind off of the time and/or i have my ipod on.....plus i can vary my workout by just walking, just…

I bought one years ago from the home shopping channel and eventually returned it.....I just found the machine did all the work...is in an arc shape so it really didn't take much work to get it to go back and forward.....I also found it really boring :).....at least with an elliptical you can change the resistance and you…

YA where did you find 100 pack M&M :)??????? sounds yummy :)

I really like the Tony Horton dvd's.....his P90 dvd's are really good and it takes you through 4 different levels of fitness...level 1 for beginners to level 4 for the advanced and everything inbetween.....he incorporates strength and cardio into his program....i highly recommed it.....I would also recommed any of Jillian…

Ya you have to be careful with stylists recommendations because usually they get a commission off those sales, so they aren't always looking out for your best interests. As for what temperature to use.....cold water shuts down the hair cuticle and hot water opens it......so before swimming I would give it a good shot of…

I don't know what fiber chews are but they sound like they might help,plus if they really are chewy then it will keep your mouth busy like gum so you may be satisfied that way as well.....

mmmmmmm......I would say anything with fiber.....if you like things like hummus would be good (chickpeas)....high fiber so it fills you up, mabey air popped popcorn, granola with yogurt, cheese string with an apple......these are a few of my fav's.......

Yes the cholorine shampoo is expensive and it only works once the damage has been done (not for prevention).....if you use it and you don't have the chlorine in your hair and it isn't a build up then it can really dry out your hair because it is basically stripping the build up off....so for prevention simply pre wet the…

Hi mariethai, I am a hairstylist and also have long hair (mine is thick and somewhat coarse) and swimming makes it unbearable.......the advice iftcheiaf gave is the best .......think of one of those dry hard sponges you can buy, when you put it into water it immediately soaks up all the water, but if that same sponge is…

I also have quite long hair and HATE when it touches me when I work out :)......I am not sure how to explain it but I put it into a fairly tight pony tail and then when there is one more loop that i can take my hair through I only take half my hair through so I end up with a pony tail loop that is less than half the length…

This is definately the place that can help....between the interaction with other members and the food diary, excersise diary etc you have it all at your finger tips....the rest is up to you :).....so welcome and good luck to you :)............
