I know for me it also took time. But i started with cutting out bread, then went to smaller portions. Your stomach will start to shrink down and then you will not need as much. Also another trick that can work is use smaller plates. Drink plenty of water too. Good luck :flowerforyou:

GO FOR IT :smile:

I find just standing on a small ledge ( like a curb) and have your heels hang off and just raise up and down. Keep doing it and over time they will get stronger.

I tried it too and the same thing happened

If you are going to the gym you could try a rowing machine. Lot of luck and welcome:happy:

Hey my daughter is 20 and I am still trying to lose the weight!!!! L.O.L I"ll keep using that excuse until I reach my goal :laugh:

Did you say you are from Kona? My daughter goes to school in Hilo. Where Is your store going to be? Pauline

Jersey girl here:drinker:

Welcome to the site. There is alot of info here For breakfast I have a high fiber cereal that keeps me going. ( Kashi and Fiber One) are good choices.Plus they taste good. Lots of luck:smile:

It's no so much the calories its all the salt . It just adds to water retention. :grumble:

Hi Cathe I walk 30 min a day, just started back on the eliptical (15 min). I also do 1 pilates class, 1 body sculpting class a week. Plus weight train about 20 min 3 days. I think I am getting an an all around work out. Any adive from anyone would be great. :ohwell: Thanks

Congrats to you!!! can I ask what your workout is like? I have been here since Feb. and have only lost 2 lbs. I eat 1200 cal. Thats alot less then what I ate before, plus I am exercising more. Any hints Thanks

I really like Jergens Coco Butter. It smells like the beach and feels good.

Just remember to switch arms or one will be bigger then the other L.O.L

welcome. this is a pretty good site, lots of info

DDR is great. i love playing with the kids. Of course they are much faster, but it is a great workout. We also have the WII and that is fun too. Anything to get moving and not being in the gym is a plus for me. Have a wonderful day

When I need something quick I just grab a Slim Fast drink. I always have them on hand. They keep me full until the next meal.

I am all for a cheat treat. Last night I took my son to the ice cream palor and had a small sunday. Normaly i would get an extra large. But just dont do it all the time L.O.L

$2.99 in NJ for regular.

OMG! where were you a hour ago. My son wanted pizza for dinner, so off to the local shop. Well I tried to do the calorie count on the recipe web site and it was 660. That put me way over in protien and fat. I will diffently try yours.

I also got suckered into buying the book. Nothing new in it. If I feel alttle bloated I just stay away from carbs for a few days and away it goes.

I too am trying to eat my exercise calories, but i find I am going over in proteins. Any ideas on what to eat that is not high in proteins? Or should I not worry about them? Thanks

I am a newbie and was also was confused on this subject. I eat 1200 calories and exercise and burn about 400. I feel satisfied with my meals ( not hungry) It does not make sense to eat what I burned. But that could be why I have not lost a pound all week. Stayed the same. I will give this a try and see what happens Thanks

Thanks- My husband does all the cooking also. He loves the challenge of coming up with healthier meals that the kids will eat also. I also find the food diary a big help. I have done W.W. in the past, but always gave up because of writing everything down, but this seems easier.

Slimfast, its quick after a workout.

Maybe this will be it. My husband and I are working out together and we changed our eating habits. My first goal is to get rid of the muffin top. And I refuse to buy bigger jeans.
