Seriously, I have a belly to lose and inner thigh fat....but the first place it leaves???? BOOBS. Now, I can easily stand to lose there but to have it go first and back fat second? Come on, it's some sick joke.

The book "New Rules of Lifting for Women" would be perfect for you to start with. Get the book, take it to the gym and start lifting! It has all the info you'll need.

2-3 egg scramble with fresh spinach, mushrooms, red peppers and zucchini sauteed in it. Piece of whole grain toast. Perfect amount of protein and good carbs. I cut it all on Sundays so it's in containers to use so it doesn't take me long to cook up. Other days it's a protein shake with 1% milk and frozen blueberries…

You are the truest form of inspiration. Thank you for posting this. You have no clue what you probably have done for many people today. Keep up the good work, I know you will reach your goal.

Bellevue, NE location. Week 2 of first time 10 week challenge. Love it (when I don't have to get up from a seated position quickly!) :) whoa do I feel it worse this week than last!

Lots of factors at play. Based on where I carry my weight and my lack of being able to lose it like others AND my age, my Dr. suggested that I am not breaking down fruit as well as others do. That the sugar if it is being held onto as if it were refined sugar. So she had me limit it to 2 fruits (and to stick to mostly…

Thank you so much. You have cleared up years of confusion on my part. I have started this process based on my TDEE - 20%. I already feel better. For years I slaved away running half marathons and lifting weights on Weight Watchers' 25 points (equivalent to 1250 cal). No wonder I couldn't lose that last 10 pounds of fat…

A swimsuit that DOES NOT look frumpy or make me look like a whale that should be harpooned :) When I get to summer, I should be close to 25lbs gone so a new, cute suit is on my list! I will ceremoniously BURN last years!

When we get Chinese take-out, egg drop soup is generally 120 calories or so and I love that. My local place also has "steamer entres for weight watchers" (their tag-line!). It has steamed veggies and/or chicken or shrimp. I do get some sauce on the side but usually no rice. I can then dip my fork in the sauce and eat the…

I am as well. I find that if I do not work out, I am grouchy and irritable to my kids. I also know that when I don't workout, I get down on myself and feel just plain "gross" so I am not a fun wife either! LOL

I'm 43 (well, just a few week's shy of 44) with 2 kids very into sports (read that as always running them to practices and games), husband and a full time job. I force myself to find time to work out (truly, I do circuit classes) and I eat really healthy (OK, 85% of the time I eat healthy but sometimes I can't resist a…

YEP. Exercising, sneezing, coughing and miles 8-13 :O) I can do some jumping as long as it's one leg and then the other, never both at the same time :) Kegels, I can never remember to do them!

Planes flying over my house. I know it's irrational, they aren't going to drop out of the sky but it makes my skin crawl off when I hear them. I live very close to a Military Base so I get lots of fly-overs and each time, I can barely breathe waiting for it to go away or waiting to hear the engine stop and the noise of it…

Knee joints can easily get sore from running. Sometimes I take glucosamine chondroitin to help. As long as it isn't anything more than soreness from something new exercising will help relieve the lactic acid that has built up which is what is causing the pain. Yoga will help stretch and relieve that lactic acid as well. If…

Seriously brought tears to my eyes. Congratulations on the new you. You have worked hard and it shows.
