I am not going to read through all the responses SO excuse me if I repeat - or if someone has spoken to OTHER side affects that I'm not thinking of. I've lost 70 lbs through diet, exercise and newer healthier habits involving stress management and more sleep. I'm sure that there are many that have lowered their blood…

I am not reading all the replies. My thoughts could be echoing others' thoughts. A couple of things: I make worse decisions when I do not have enough sleep. Make sure that you are getting enough. Everyone is different. I can function on 6 - but it's not enough. My minimum is 7 with the optimum being 8 hours. L-Glutamine…

I have had good luck with Advocare products. It's not a magic pill - but I believe that the products are good quality (from what I can tell researching them) and while buying them, I discontinued my normal supplements from GNC. I had lost 58 lbs in 2 years before trying them: exercise, change in diet, reduced portions and…

Hey, Kim. You posted this so long ago, I don't know if you're still making a decision on this or not but..... I occasionally use Shakeology by Beach Body. Downfall: It's pretty expensive for a pouch but mine lasts a long time. (It's about $130 for a pouch of chocolate.) It calls for a full scoop per drink but I think it…

I agree with those saying that if you have access, a wonderful option is water aerobics or aqua zumba, etc. I know it's intimidating to go to a pool when you're out of shape but many times those taking these classes are in the same boat as you: needing exercise without a lot of impact and this form of exercise is really…

I'm 5'9" and weight 231 - down from 290. I'm shooting for 160 but as others have said, I'll be doing cartwheels when I get below 200. At my thinnest adult weight, I weighed 155 and if I'd worked out much, I think I'd have been really happy with that again. I didn't work out much back then and I'm an "apple shape"…

I agree mostly with the: "Breathe, everyone slips up" mentality but also think that an hour or so on a stationary bike never hurts! It's early in the day. No worries if it doesn't totally wipe out the 1400 but if you haven't exercised much today, it's good for you!

Hi Nidda! I'm Susan and need to lose 78 more lbs! That's pretty similar. I see that you're a university student and that's a common time to gain weight. Good news is though that you are young and can get it done. You'll have your whole life to enjoy these changes that you're making. I started nearly a year ago. I've lost…
