I get down with Richard Simmons too. Its good to go to second hand stores and look for exercise tapes or you can go to the library and rent them for a week and see which ones you like. Richard is fun and uplifting and a good motivator. Good Luck!!

How can you not love Richard Simmons..................all that positive energy, helping and pushing people to improve there lives. And what woman doesn't like to dance. What was the name of that movie with Julia Roberts where at the end they said, "Thier might not be sex but there will always be dancing." ? Dance with…

Exercise for weight loss: Calories burned in 1 hour Being active — either through physical activity or through a formal exercise program — is an essential component of a weight-loss program. When you're active, your body uses energy (calories) to work, helping to burn the calories you take in with food you eat. Whatever…

Renee its just nice to know you are there. I didn't like leaving my little ones for work either and found something that I could do at home for a few years. I think thats a good idea in general if a mother "can do it." (no pun intended)!! lol I started an exercise tape, Richard Simmons and the Silver Foxes,lol But I can do…

When I was 22 I went out almost evry friday and danced with a bunch of friends.....................its was great exercise and fun. The dance exercise tapes are fun and so is the jazzercise classes. Now if dancing isn't your thing the kick boxing classes are fun too and a chance to get out and be with others for a night to…

Welcome, and the freeze is on in Iowa too. We have not had such a snowy cold winter since 1979. The year my middle child was born. The cold and snow is a natural signal for me to bake and eat and this site is keeping me on track. If ya need some help I'm only a state away or better yet a few clicks on the keyboard.

Clearwater Creek also has some larger sizes and are different looking then what you usually see out there. Don't feel bad if you need a bigger size in there stores..they run a little small, but are diffinetly worth looking at.

LOL I thought clear meant clear and I've been drinking so much water to have my urine clear. I always thought that if it was yellow at all it meant I needed more water. I guess I can slow down a little on the water. lol

Ashley, I just got into it this am and submitted the pic I have on this site with my Grandson. Really a full body pic is best , but for obvious reasons I don't have many full body pics at my current weight.lol When I get it back I will post it it would be fun to see everyones. Ya know on second thought I think it was the…

Your very welcome Forestdancers, I think it was on the Today show last week(or some show I was watching). Thats how I found out about it.

The website is weightview.com , you fill out the info and send a picture thru your computor. Then you put what weight you'd like to see come off you. In 48 hrs they will send you that pic back with the weight off. Cool, inspiring and fun.

I heard the more you weigh the more water you should take in too. I also heard from a uroligist that your urine should be clear. Not yellow or light yellow but completely clear. I put eight pennys on my window sill above my sink and move them when I drink a cup of water..............as soon as all eight pennies are to one…

I'm 54 in April.............pretty darn close to that senior citizen age. The older you get the more important it is to take care of yourself cause you don't bounce back as easy from health issues. I figure I need to get ready and in shape so that when i retire I can have alot of fun. Take care Lorelai and Angel food cake…

Watch your coffee. I find that I can get by with 1-8oz cup in the am but if I have 2 I'm really hungry at lunch. Hope this helps. Coffee is an appetite stimulant.

PS my oldest son..............................my sisters say he looks just like Keanu Reeves. He's the Father of the little guy who's in the picture with me.

I really think that every once an awhile you have to just eat what you feel you've been deprived of. Then it seems like its not that big of a deal and you can go back to eating healthy. Your OK, you'll be back in line tomorrow and you've been doing so good. Every one needs a little splurge now and then.

I am a nurse that assists Dr.s with those scopes everyone hates. Yes, the colon scopes. We also scope lungs, small bowel and stomachs. And while I'm here I'll get on the soap box. If you are 50 get in for your colon scope. We see alot of polys that we remove before they are cancerous and getting scoped is so much easier…

Hey, Hey, its not that bad!! Stuff happens, we fall on the ground and off the wagon sometimes and in your case both at the same time can happen too. You take it easy until you feel better from the physical fall on the cement and in the mean time get prepared for eating healthy again. Get the food you need and have it on…

Wow, what good ideas. Rheston, I wish I was eating at your house!! I usually keep it simple with Stir fry veggies and shrimp or chicken on Fridays. But I think the idea of looking for new recipes is a great idea.................count me in, I'll try and see what I can come up with this week.

I'd go into www.dwlz.com. and even if the restaurant your going to is not in her site look for one with a similair menu and look it over. The seafood and veggie dishes are usually good ones to look at. Rice is high in calories so I usually order without it. Looks at that site like I said and check out her restaurants and…

Wow, I'm green eyed. Wish it was me!! lol Good Job. I bet you feel wonderful!!

A nutritionist gave me a paper on this that says: The kidneys can't function properly without enough water. When they don't work to capacity some of their load is dumped on the liver. The livers primary function is to metabolize stored fat into usable energy. So if the liver is doing the kidneys work it can't operate at…

www.dwlz..com This is Dotties Weight Loss Zone and if you go into it and hit her sub titles, the one that says restaurants, she has a ton of restaurants and the calories and nutrient facts for there food. This is a great website for going out to eat and checking before hand so you can figure out your menu without going…

My son was visiting us and when he left he left behind some Peanut M&M's. I couldn't resist, and had a few, about 10. lol

You must be a comedian!! Thanks for the laughs.

Those were great , now if I can just remember them so that I can tell them to the people I work with.

Good Job!!! But I wouldn't stand and stare at temptation everyday.......just the days I was feeling especially strong. lol I'm sure that cake didn't taste nearly as good as you are feeling right now!!

Thanks, what a great recipe to have on hand. I can't wait to try it. I stir fry alot!! I do it without rice too.

:smokin: You are smoking!! Keep it up it only get better and better the more you lose!!

I'd say when I lost 10 lbs I could feel a big difference. It was like if I didn't look in a mirror I would think I was thin. Now I'm down 31 and people are noticing it and I feel even better. My clothes are baggy on me and I've bought a few new things in a smaller size to enjoy. I just think if I feel this good with 31 lbs…
