Start with what you like. I like seasonings. Add salt and a pat of butter to your veggies. Find a great salad dressing that you like. Just measure it. What my kids will eat: Zucchini fries made in the oven. Ketchup. Sweet potato because it's like a dessert. Topped with a teaspoon of brown sugar and a pat of butter isn't…

I think you look absolutely great. Your family has no business to say that you are not healthy looking. I think they are jealous.

When I was very underweight, I had heart problems. My brain-to-heart nerves didn't communicate well because there wasn't enough fat in the system. My heart would stop, sometimes 20 times a minute. Then, it would pick back up and many times "race." It landed me in the ER because I hyperventilated a lot due to feeling like…

Fritos, especially with a can of chili, refried beans, cheese, more cheese, and more cheese . . . . Klondike bars.

Try something new to help motivate you. Is there a contest or a be/buddy up you can do with someone? I think you are doing great. Focus on your success.

I tried the combination last month. I didn't lose any weight at all. Dr. Oz was wrong. This month, I am doing old fashioned exercise and eating very cleanly (see Dr. Oz May diet). No supplements. I had gotten up to 159 pounds (20 pounds heavier than picture). I just finished a bowl of homemade lentil soup as my dinner.…

bump, (so I can find recipe)

Half a peach, grilled. Topped with vanilla or peach greek yogurt and some berries.

I sweat, figure skating. Last week, even my pony tail was soaking wet. At the gym, I have to remember a towel because I drip on the treadmills.

May sound gross. Melted butter, lime juice, and salt. I pretend it's a margarita.

I thought about this alot this morning. I figured out that I am judgmental. I judge most, those who I spend more time with. The answers of why and how to change are going to have to work on, as I've not thought enough on them. I am listening to the TV, and the shows & commercials are on fat. We have become an anti-fat…

Ok, I see the error in my thinking. Sorry to offend. Sorry for my question. Sorry you are offended. And, thank for helping me see a different side of the coin.

I was very skinny, but not in a good way. I thougth about it, and I think I'll just ask to take her out. There's a live theater with a good show playing, and a trendy new watering hole. Time and relationships are what Christmas is about. It hurts that you all continue to misread who I am, but you have made me question my…

That's what I mean! I don't offer her any food suggestions, one way or the other. I don't offer her any exercise advice, one way or the other. Yes, I have hoped for years that she could take more control of the weight issue. What we talk about for the past 20 years is men, relationships, family, movies, kids, news, work,…

Wow. Online questioning is tricky and everyone now thinks ill of me. Yes, I do see her as obese. We have for years wanted to help her change. We all love this person, and she has major health issues goign on now. I hoped that the search results would show items to avoid, a new trend, or a novel gift idea.. Something to…

Thank you so much for the toiletries, perfume, pampering ideas. She works alot and is a mom. She doesn't have alot of time for herself. She reads alot, and picks up a ton of books on the e-reader. Perhaps a gift certificate so she can pick her own books. Makeup is tricky, as she's a fresh faced type. I bought her a nice…

I can't help you with that program. But, I recently started adult ballet classes at a real dance school. Been to 5 classes. It is alot of fun, never boring, and a "light" workout. It isn't the same as running or walking fast on a treadmill. I don't think at the beginner adult level that you are necessarily going to burn…

Cliff Bar in my handbag as an emergency measure for quick meal. They are really good. Can be bought at Walmart and most grocery stores for about a dollar a piece. White chocolate macademia nut rocks.

Try using an exercise recovery drink. For me, I use one and it helps ALOT. Never thought it would. Yesterday, I've sprained my right hip/lower back/buttock from figure skating. Landed too many jumps and too many camel spins, will throw a hip out in a heartbeat. Came home and drank my drink (Endurox) and the pain is 60%…

I skate with a few ladies in their 60s and one who is almost 80! I once was visiting Denver. I took my skates and went to a rink near town. There were about 4 ice dancing couples, all over 60 years old. They were sooooo good. We're talking even choctaws at high speeds. While my lungs were burning from the change in…

River Boot Camp? I've never heard of that one! It would be too interesting down here in South Florida! We have alligators to help out.

As you can see from the video liink I posted above, I have some orthopedic issues. My jumps are not good. I had tendon ankle surgery, which messes with my ability to spring. I've had other things too, and Yoga cured me of plantar fascitus. My husband and I do P90x yoga every Sunday. I'm afraid of rock climbing. Saw it in…

I went to a mud run yesterday as a spectator and cheering section for my husband and our two children who did it. (I can't do it, becuase of an old dog attack to my hand/wrist makes climbing ropes and hanging from my arms almost impossible.) I had alot of fun. It was in Plant City, Florida. So, you can imagine how hot,…

A little bit of Apple Cider Vinegar, a tinier bit of olive oil, dijon mustard, spices.

FIND A GYM THAT IS CLOSE BY. FIND A TIME EVERY DAY WHEN YOU CAN GET TO IT. IT HAS TO BE ALMOST THE SAME TIME EVERY DAY. i go my clubhouse gym every day at 7:30 a.m., after the first kid gets on his school bus. I work out until 8:15, and then get on with my day. I work from home, so it makes it easier. No matter how crazy…

I have a Squeem. Great for my back support and posture. I even figure skate in it. I'm 5'6" and about 15 pounds overweight.

Sqeeum (spanx on steroids)

Alot of mornings I do oatmeal. I do the old fashioned, but just let it sit in boiling water. I add a teaspoon of peanut butter or craisins to mine. I don't get hungry. Other mornings, I do a Greek yogurt and/or a homemade fruit smoothie with P90X shakeology. I don't get hungry from that either. Special K and other boxed…

Your transformation is awsome!
