Walk. It is amazing what just walking will do. Have them walk a dog through the neighborhood or something. Dance. Turn on the music, and dance like a fool till you fall on the floor laughing. Just turn off the TV. TV = couch = lazy.... its inevitable.

Do the corn tortillas. Remember that Carbs are important too in your intake. Avoid the greasy enchiladas etc. Stick with the fish and fajitas etc. Moderate your portions. Make a single big fat fajita taco filled with meat and vegies. Eat it slowly and enjoy the conversation with your company as you eat. Drink lots of…

The 1200 calories is the net calories. You have to add in the additional calories that your cardio burns. Example, if you are burning 400 calories each day for your cardio, you need to eat 1600 calories to accommodate for your burn and the 1200 for breathing and waking up.

I just try to go to bed. After work, walking, washing the twins, eating dinner, cleaning up, etc. Its 9pm or later. I feel like snacking too. So I either eat half an apple with 2 tbl spoons of peanut butter (about 230-240 calories), or just go to bed. BTW, I am loving a good fuji apple with peanut butter, something about…

All you need is some bands, the bowflex dumbells (love them!), a pull up bar, and a yoga mat. You can do everything with those. Push ups for chest. (wide grip, military, one armed, supermans etc.. you dont need weights for chest.) But later on, if you realy really want to. Then you can add a bench with an adjustable back.…

Yep, it was seeing myself in pictures that made me snap. I asked my wife if I really looked like that. She looked at me and said yes honey. I then asked her how she is able to make love with me, and act like she feels that way. She said, because I love you. It was that moment, that I started on a REAL path of getting back…

I was at 260 when I decided to get my act together. The first 2 weeks were fast. It was very motivating. After my body realized we were sticking with this, it decided to slow down what it was shredding. I even hovered at the same weight one week, and went up a couple of pounds another week. It was frustrating. (The…

Make sure your meals are spread out during the day. Make sure your eating the proper ratios of fats, protiens, carbs, etc. Change your routine up regularly. Your body gets used to certain things. Once it is able to accpomplish a certain task (weight, distance, intensity, etc) it stops adapting. So if you run 3 miles every…

Im on 1580 calories, but I am 244 pounds right now. I find that eating smaller meals throughout the day about 6 times a day, helps. It feels like I am always eating, and therefore satisfying some of the urges. I actually eat about 1800-2000 calories, but take my twin 2 year olds on a walk every night after work in their…

I wish I could run, but the only time I get to do excercise is when I push the babies in the stroller around the neighborhood. I tried running with the double stroller, but the front wheels feel like they are falling off. I average about 3 or pounds a week loss. Walking is about 2.5 miles each day, and weekends, I…
