  • I have a family of 5. Since we changed how we eat, our grocery bill has gone down. A bag of sweet potatoes is cheaper than a bag of frozen french fries. Apples and oranges are cheaper than chips and crackers. It is healthier and cheaper. My grocery bill goes way up when I buy boxed, frozen, or bagged items. Plus, since we…

  • Counting calories every day drives me crazy, too. I find it hard to remember, I hate measuring things, and i forget the little tastes I've had throughout the day. However, for a beginner I would say that counting calories is important, because you need to understand how many calories are in the things you eat. Learning the…

  • I just wanted to respond because I am exactly the same height and weight. I started out at exactly the same weight. So, I know where you are coming from. I am also trying to reduce body fat, but not weight. It took me a long time to get to this point and it will take more time to get the body fat down. I personally do a…

  • I took a big sigh of relief when I finally hit the goal number. Finally, all the hard work had paid off and now I could work on another goal. While I was reaching for my weight goal, I constantly had little goals that I wanted to attain. Some of the little goals were to be able to do a pull-up, do a handstand push-up or…
