If you are really craving it, I would have the 1 slice and fit it into your cals for the day. By not giving in occasionaly (and I do mean just once in a while), you could drive yourself into a binge. FYI, I had 2 slices of Pizza Hut thin crust cheese pizza today and do not feel guilty at all. I do, however, plan and…

Jillian Michaels from the Biggest Loser show dvd. You start with level 1 and work up to level 3.

Choboni yogurt or skinny cow ice cream. They both have curved my sweet tooth cravings.

The chest straps are very comfortable and when adjusted properly do not move out of place when working out.

I have a hrm and am burning about 250 cal in the 20 minutes. I am currently 134 lbs and am 5'4"

I will tell you I originally bought a cheaper hrm and we very unhappy and discouraged by its inaccuracy. If you are going to use one, save up the extra money and get a good one. If not, don't use one. I saved up and bought a polar with a chest strap ($110 usd). It was worth it to me to have one that worked accurately. you…

You really have to try to stop weighing in so often. Once a week is more than enough. Make sure it is in the morning before food or drink. It can become addicting and make you crazy!!

I recently started 30ds and I was shocked at how hard it was. I do Zumba 3 times a week for an hour and keep up pretty well with the class. But I have yet to keep up the whole 20 min of level 1. It is the jumping jacks and jump rope that are killing me. And I do not understand why. In Zumba we do a routine that has alot of…

Congratulatons!!! You look fantastic!! May I ask what you did to get those abs? Please do tell.

I have been doing Zumba since January (love it). But just recently started the 30 Shred for the days I don't have Zumba. I am enjoying both!!!

You betcha!!! LOL

Great for you!!!

I have had a few negative comments about my weight loss. So, I would prefer people said nothing than something hurtful.

You should not be on a "diet". You should be on a lifestyle change that you can live with for life. I did not realize that when I first started. Otherwise, I would not have chosen the screen name that I have. You need to focus on being healthy, not just losing weight.

Get in a squat stance and punch right to left.

Choboni yogurt. Love it!!! Also, fresh veggies with 90 cal/packet dip. Really satisfies those snack cravings. And, of course, air popped popcorn.

Calcium and vitaman D (my Mom has osteoporisis, I take these to help prevent that.) Multivitamin Flaxseed (my cholesteral was getting high a few years ago, 2 of these a day dropped it by 22 points. That was before I started eating better) CoQ10 (my Dad died of heart disease and had alzhemizers. I read that this was being…

Thank you for the replies and great advice.

It sounds like you may be weighing in too often. Once a week at the most is best. I would add more fruit and veggies, more protein too.

That is fantastic!!! Great job!!

It sounds like you have done great!!! You should be proud. I originally wanted to get down to about 125 lbs. But once I hit 140, I realized I was pretty happy where I was. I changed my goal to 135. I am about 1.2 away from my goal weight. I, too, am more concerned now with toning my body. You have done a fabulous job.…

I am 5'4" and small framed. I cannot imagine eating less than the 1200 cals/per day. I think anything less would leave me hungry and frustrated. However, I do exercise regularly. Are you on a regular workout routine? What about fruits and veggies? Are you eating enough of those a day?

I weigh in on Thursday mornings. It is harder to stay on track over the weekends, not that I binge. But if I want a slice of the homemade pizza I make my husband on Saturday night, I have a few days to make sure it doesn't turn into pounds. My feeling is if you try to deprive yourself completely of certain foods, it will…

I go to Curves. I started about 2 years ago. But it wasn't until they started offering Zumba classes that my workout started to show. It is a good place to start, but you need more than just the circuit to get a good work out.

Welcome and good luck. You have come to the right please. Friend me if you want.

That is amazing. Great job!!

Great job!! That is awesome!! I know what you mean about the in between sizes. I have lost more in my butt and hips than my stomach. So one size fits great in the waist and too baggy in the rear. The other fits my back side and a litte "muffin top" in the waist. I am really working on toning my abs now to try and balance…

Welcome and good luck!!! You have come to a great place. I started in January and have had great results. Good luck.

Once a week. In the morning.

I put it under cardio
