PLAIN Greek yogurt. Add berries (fresh or frozen) for flavor - they will add some carbs but also fiber.

First of all congrats on all the hard work and results. I started about the same time with similar height/weight stats but I got suck after 30 lbs. I simply enjoyed the reward of my work and maintained the loss - mostly. Suddenly after a year in a plateau I took one month (June) to REALLY focus on food and exercise, cut…

I have the exact same issue with sugar. I'd like to clarify that while there is hidden sugar in EVERYTHING, I go for the in your face sugar snacks: Starbucks mixed drinks, little debbie snack cakes, candy bars, Mt. Dew etc. When I can keep the crap out of my mouth the withdrawal subsides after about a week, and I feel…

I have the same concerns. I've lost 30lb so far and I can see some difference in my belly, but it's still mostly just flabby rolls. I'm hoping and praying that with enough exercise and eating right they belly HAS to get a little smaller. I've even thought about getting some kind of firming lotion (like you would normally…

It sounds like your doing great. Just keep logging and exercising and you'll be fine. It is natural to for weight loss to slow down a little once you get a few months into it. 1 pound a week is still awesome. CONGRATULATIONS

I have had mine for 3 years. It doesn't seem to affect my weight loss as long as I'm eating healthy foods, in the right portion sizes and exercising. On average I work out 3x/wk for no more than 90 min. including multiple Jilian workouts. I've lost 30lbs. since Jan. As someone else said, you've gotta weigh the pro & cons.…

I know what you mean. I remember looking at other women in my family and saying "I'm never going to get that big". Over 11 or so years . . . . here I am, just as big as the other women in my family. It was frightening when I could "borrow" my mom's clothes. Staying on track is very hard and I have weeks/months where I fall…

I started @ 203# and dropped down a size after about 15-20 pounds. Now at 173# I am very close to going down another size into 16. I have some size 16 I can wear, but others I can't depending on the brand. I do more weight lifting and toning than cardio and have noticed that I won't loose any weight at all, but my pants…

I'm struggling with the same thing. First it was Memorial Day parites. I reset everything, got back on track and lost the pounds I had gained. This past weekend it was camping. Cookies, smores, hot dogs, brats, alcohol, augh!!! In two more weeks it is vacation. I don't even want to go because I know it'll be a nutrition…

I have been amazed at how much my personal trainer does NOT use weights. It is hard to believe how much of a workout I get with no or limited equipment. See attached link for ideas. If the link doesn't work search google/bing for "Exercising without Equipment". Like the others have suggested I too recommend a few weights…

It could be that your body/muscles have adjusted to your routine. That is always my problem. Maybe changing the type of exercises and/or increasing the intensity will help. Since I started working with a trainer (who constantly changes my workout routine) I havn't hit my usual plateau. Most important - don't give up!

I'm 5 foot. I think it's funny how walking at 4.5 is "very brisk pace". For me that is running! I have a lot more to loose (50+ pounds) and so far the weight is coming off pretty easy. Hope it stays that way for awhile.
