Jillian Michaels DVD "No more trouble zones" should help tone all those areas. It is a great workout. So far it is my favorite of all her DVDs

almost to your goal! good for you!!

During the day, I stay out of the kitchen and find something to do that will occupy my mind ...even go somewhere; for a walk or to the Mall. If it is night, I go right to bed with a book, looking forward to my breakfast in the morning.

I shop at Goodwill! I've found some of my favorite clothes there!

You can do it one day at a time! Starting now, you are on your way to a healthier lifestyle! You've already made the switch, now just keep going ... one day at a time, and before you know it, you'll be feeling so much better that you will want to keep going all the way to that healthy weight, and your lifestyle will be…

I used to get cold sores and canker sores quite frequently. Now I take Lysine (an amino acid) and it really works. Recently I've been taking it every day, but it also works pretty well if you take it at the very first sign of a cold sore or canker sore. It makes it less painful and last a shorter amount of time. You can…

You shouldn't fool with chest pain. I would go see a doctor if you can...

I eat a snack called Cranberry Bliss that I buy at BJ's. I think it is very filling, but kind of high in calories. It is craisins, yogurt covered raisins, almonds, peanuts, raisins and cashews. I love it! A quarter cup is is 140 calories. I also find yogurt to be very filling. I like the vanilla Danon light and fit. It is…

I have had some really good ones that someone else made, but when I tried it they were not as good. Maybe I should try again! BUMP!

It depends on how much you weigh now, but on average, two pounds a week is a good goal.

...but if they are temporary, as in a few weeks (?) ....still yuck, but it won't last forever, try it!

Yuck! As a mother, I would tell my daughters, please don't do it! What's the point?

....when you keep nodding off at the computer! I'm going too!

Great! Keep up the good work! You'll be running a 5k before you know it!

I always feel good when I have done Jillian's "No more trouble zones". It was part of my exercise program when I was loosing weight and will be again when the pool closes after Labor Day to help me maintain.

...sitting by the pool, reading my book and getting in a good swim! Hope I still have time for that when I am finished working!

Thank you so much for your service! I appreciate it more and more all the time. My son just completed Officers training school for the marine Corps. He will commission next Spring. As the mom of a military guy, I thank you, for all the Moms, for your sacrifice. We are all so proud of you!

I am also 5'2" and started at 162 lbs last October. In April I reached my goal of 120 and have since lost 6 more pounds though I am trying to maintain. I stuck with 1200 calories and walked every day (4 miles an hour) for 40 minutes and did Jillian Michaels' No more trouble zones" 3 times a week. That is what did it for me!

Just keep at it!.... It may take longer than you hoped, but one day you will get on the scale and say "hey! I did it!" Then for sure you will see it and so will everybody else!

Every Saturday morning, before breakfast and after I've gone to the bathroom!

Great idea! Thanks!

Any ideas for keeping track of laps when you are swimming? I don't run but I often loose track when I am swimming...

I agree with what everybody else says. You are trying to loose about the same as what I lost. It took me seven months and I never lost more than two pounds in a week, and sometimes even one or less. Just keep at it, even if your scale doesn't show a loss one week, the next week it could be much better. If you blow it one…

It took me 7 months to loose 42 pounds. I'm 5'2" and went from 162 to 120 lbs in that time. That was eating 1200 calories a day and not eating back my exercise calories. I did a brisk walk for 40 minutes every day and did an exercise DVD every other day if possible.

Bump for when I have some eggplant! Sounds good. I also love french fries and miss them...

You could put your scale away somewhere where you can't see it (a closet maybe) and take it out only once a week to weigh. ....Same time every week!

Ha ha! Here in the south that fixes everything!! :-)

I've always thought that going over on protein didn't matter, and also fiber ....I would be interested in input on that as well. Bump!
