Maria.. Yes when you have support and motivation it feels so much easier to do. I have been searching recipes since cooking 'healthy' is completely new to us... I have found some amazing low carb recipes, we try a new one every week. We are eating completely different and some of the new food is so good, we incorporate the…

It is hard to get back at it... I have all the knowledge now and know what works and doesn't... Just need the support and motivation!! Lol

I have done it a couple times over the last few weeks, but never stay dedicated past the 24 days.. So that is why I'm on here, to get accountability! I think the products advocare offer are amazing!

Thank you all for the advice and tips! I went for a walk tonight... That seemed to help a lot! Now that I am home it is just about bed time so occupied my time.. I think I will try exercise in the evening if it is cool enough outside.. in Texas so it is a little hot to be outside during the day time. :-) I will try the…

Mine probably seem so silly.. but a few of them are: 1. feel proud of myself for the accomplishment of what I have done so far... 2. be more active 3. get my hubby and kids out from in front of the tv 4. finish a whole work out video not just do it for a couple of weeks 5. when I return to the gym in Sept. weigh 205. (20…

When you are doing the video Tony shows you what to do with the band instead of the pull up bar. So you can use bands instead of the bar.. But... There is a bar at wal-mart for $20. I just got it for my hubby.

Even if you don't see it I am sure others do. I don't see my weight loss either.. I did at first, but not anymore. I feel like I look the same.

I took it to quit smoking the first time and I gained weight, but I think it was from quitting.. But it does work quickly and I did feel wonderful on it. I didn't experience any side affects... My only regret is that I didn't continue taking it. Although it did make my husband and sister feel like they were on speed and…

I have always wondered this myself.. This article enlightened me quite a bit.. http://www.fitsugar.com/Why-Do-Some-People-Sweat-More-Than-Others-145870

You diet looks excellent! You are just in a slump and my advice that has worked for me and this is only by my own experience is... Eat more 1 day a week. Have a day where you eat all of your calories and even go over. no high protein shake that day just a lot of good healthy food at least 2000-2500 cals. It has kicked my…

It is good. Protein is what your muscle's need to grow.. It is food for muscles. My protein is set at 50. I am over every day by at least 40 to 65.

Heart problems are pretty scary.. I would take it easy and work your way up to 1 mile.. Just start out walking for 10 mins everyday or twice a day and increase the time by 2 mins everyday! That will not over work your body and get your muscles used to moving again.. I started at 260 lbs and that is what I did. I wasn't…

I liked the red team at the beginning (they are from Texas).. But the wife needs to go! She is almost as bad as Tracy was last season! But the green team has some major issues!!!! The daughter needed to stay and work on hers! I understand that her hubby was leaving for war... But still she needs to get that anger out! The…

Understood the fact.. :) and thanks for the info..

Very hard situation!!! if most of your meals are going to be "out" then just plan, be smart on your choices and know what is in your food. It is actually pretty easy to eat at fast food "healthy" lots of salads, veggies, and nuts to help you feel full. If you know what restaurants are going to be around your hotel then…

great advice.. only I am pretty sure that muscle and fat weigh the same.. just double check your info.. Great advice anyways.. :)

I have been using the Biggest Loser Jump start as my starting guide and they talk about splurges at the end of the book.. They say keep it to one day.. one meal/snack and for the rest of the day eat normally.. And PLAN it! Don't feel bad, just don't let it become a habit. My family goes so often that I am sometimes caught…

I realized after about a week of walking my good o'l trusty sketchers were not meant for walking! I went out to famous footwear and got New Balance cross trainers. They are very comfy! I usually buy wide shoes, but got these in regular and they have stretched to fit my foot perfectly and I love them.. No more sore feet…

I had the same experience.. I was late by 3 weeks! then I did a search for periods on the message board and got a ton of information on what others had experienced.. As for the munchy's before, and during well.. I would love some suggestions as well.. I have been just ignoring my stomach.... I have splurged a bit with my…

quick fix for the blender.. rinse good and put about a cup of water in it and a LITTLE squirt of soap and back on the stand.. blend it a couple of times and good to go.. all clean!

I don't worry about my sugar intake as long as it is not huge, sugary candy, if it is natural from my approved food list then I eat it. I have either oatmeal w/banana & 1/8 t vanilla or kashi cereal for breakfast. I am a creature of habit and I understand the rush.. eat breakfast as you do your make up or hair. other…

I have concerns about the yoga video as well.. my knees... I just take it easy when I do, do it.. :) I think you would be able to do this one, it is a "weight loss" yoga! I can't do about half of the stuff, or do some of them for half as long as them, but I do feel improvement every time I do it for more then a couple of…

I have weight loss yoga, cardio max and boot camp.. All 3 of them kick my butt when I use them. I was going to buy the 30 day jump start since that is what I am using to get myself on track with healthy eating (the book), but didn't know if the video would be worth the money. Let me know what you think and I might go buy…

Great JOB!!!! Keep it up! :)

So glad to have you here! Good Luck on your journey!

Congratulations!!! Way to go!!! :smile:

I really think that the whole weight-loss vs life-style change is where the true transformation takes place. If you are in it just for the weight loss you don't change what made you fat to begin with. You don't deal with the emotions, problems.. etc.. When you make a lifestyle change you change what was wrong to make you…

I will try those greek yogurt. where do you buy yours? I only tried 2x and it tasted like sour milk to me. Maybe the yogurt was bad???

I don't like greek yogurt. You can try it though. I put my yogurt in smoothies or add low-fat granola.. Recipes: 1 cup yogurt 3/4 cup low-fat granola and a twist to the above recipe add: reduce granola to 2 T 1/4 cup fruit (any kind) fresh mint sprig Smoothie: 1 cup yogurt 1/2 c berries (any kind my fav. is…
