  • Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred might be a good place for you to start - if you're looking for a home program. It's short, a great addition to the cardio you're already doing, and has 3 levels that will allow you to slowly build your endurance.
  • I've learned that I am the worst kind of grazer. That "just five won't hurt..." kind of person who never realized that 5 a day, every day equaled out to lbs gained.
  • The Nordstrom by me has the absolute worst lighting and mirrors in the entire universe. It's ridiculously depressing every. single. time. Luckily, not shopping at Nordstrom saves me a ton of money. So, silver linings I suppose.
  • Don't worry, you're not alone!! I am not the best cook, nor do I have time to shop/cook often. I do try my best, and I am getting better when it comes to dinner since my husband isn't very fond of pre-packaged meals, but with breakfast and lunch I'm a very "grab and go" kind of person. Granola bars, Slim Fast, Canned soup,…
  • I've found a lot of healthy-food blogs to be incredibly helpful with my cravings. At first some of the recipes seemed a little tasteless, but that's because I was so used to my high sodium diet. Once my taste buds adjusted, I started to really enjoy a lot of the meals and snacks. I still have a long way to go, don't get me…
  • THIS. My favorite Italian and my favorite sushi place both serve the most amazing bread with dinner. If I don't ask them not to bring it, I'll eat at least 2 rolls with gobs of herb butter and ruin a full week's worth of healthy eating.
  • I totally feel you OP. I am a huge wine lover and used to frequently have 2-3 glasses after work to relax and a bottle+ on the weekends. The only things that cures my hangovers? Everything bagels with cream cheese or McNuggets. Not the healthiest way to start a Saturday or Sunday morning! Right now I am abstaining from…

  • I am a huge diet coke addict - HUGE. I finally admitted to myself that drinking it was doing me no favors and have cut down to about 1 can a week, if that, and I always follow it up with a ton of water. After a couple of weeks I've lost weight must faster than I was previously, I've also noticed I've had much less tummy…

  • I am so glad I am not the only one!! My left foot goes numb every time - usually around 20 minutes in - and it drives me insane!
  • I was actually doing this tonight. I had a super intense craving for chocolate, so I grabbed some Jello and started looking up Pinterest dessert recipes instead. I actually have become ridiculous obsessed with both reading and social media since quitting smoking, and now adding dieting to it has sent me over the edge in…
  • I was on Warfarin for about 6 months after suffering from a PE, and I find it odd that some people are saying their docs told them to avoid these foods rather than REGULATE their intake of them. If you want to start changing your diet to include these types of veggies, you need to let your doctor know so he can make sure…
  • Skinny Pop popcorn! Also, I'm a big fan of Go Picnic meals. I'll take one to work and only allow myself to snack on what's in one box all day, depending on the type of box some of them even include food that makes for a decent lunch.
