  • I lost 100 lbs by doing a combo of both cardio and weight-lifting. I lost 70 lbs in the first 7 months, the other 30 lbs came after I tighten up my eating plan and gym program as did hit a few plateaus. I did both together and then just cardio alone and yes it does yield different results. I burn much faster by doing both…

  • I agree with Mrs. Joshica, that its best to have a healthy body with loose skin than being at an unhealthy weight which brings on a whole set of medical problems with it. ;)

  • Yes I agree that putting on more muscle can help with filing in the area around the arms and tights, but only to a certain extent. If there is too much hanging skin, no amount of muscle can compensate. I've done the weight training stint for a while and I ended up a bit too muscled to my taste. I was getting bulky...but it…

  • I would suggest you try Steel Cut Oats. It has to be cooked on the stovetop for about 25 min. Has a thick consistency, a bit chewy, but very satisfying. It is more in its natural state. I put a serving of fresh fruit or some unsweetened apple sauce with some cinnamon.

  • This is always a subject for debate. If I do decide to incorporate some bread in my day, I always eat it early in the day. I always aim for 100% whole wheat bread, no fat no sugar added and I only eat one slice. You can always eat bread, but I suggest you go in moderation and try not to eat it on a daily basis. You can…

  • Sometimes I get down because I have unrealistic expectations. During those down times I try to think about the reasons why I am doing this and how hard I work towards achieving my goals. I try to stay focused by setting milestones. This way, every time I achieve a milestone, I celebrate it by treating myself to a cheat…
