I like Leslie too. Especially just starting out. Those other ones make you jump around and do crazy moves that I just could not keep up with. Then I would get discouraged and quit. Just keep increasing the intensity as you get fitter.

I second the Leslie Sansone walking videos. I have several of them and some others as well. I love the Leslie ones because they are easy, do not require me to jump around, and I don't feel like passing out at the end. Its a great way to start if you are like me and had no experience with exercise to begin with.

I've never had someone say anything really nasty to me and I like to think I have pretty good self esteem. I actually used to love it when my great-grandmothers would say something about my weight. They could come up with the funniest stuff. It never bothered me because I didn't care what they thought about my weight. One…

That seems like it would work but you can get nicotine poisoning. When I started smoking I would have one right before bed, go throw up, then go to bed. Its a wonder I wanted to smoke at all, but it just latches on to you.

I know!! Fat burning does not seem like a lot at all. The thing with me is that I go by my heart rate. The trainer told me to keep in the 124 to 144 heart rate range to burn fat. Anything more than that and you are just doing cardio. When I started keeping in this range I thought something had to be wrong because it was so…

You're right, I have hit a plateau, but I was having a lot of trouble keeping it at 1280 because it didnt seem enough. I really didnt want to go less. Thanks.

So, im wondering. My BMR is 1,429 but myfitnesspal recommends that I eat 1,280 calories a day. It says that my calories burned from daily activity was 1,790. So you are saying that I should eat between the 1429 and the 1790? Im confused. I also did the thing robstot suggested and it ends up I have to eat 1923 calories to…

*giggle* I can do that cause I'm family. But really, I know you and I know you wont let that get to you. One day soon all of that will go away.

My grandfather gets way to worried over everything. He is always giving is advice. And while I am still respectful and listen to him when he has a concern I don't take my frustration home with me. If it is good advice, great, I'll use it. If I dont think it will help me, then I say thanks and forget it. It was hard not to…

I had the same problem at first but, unfortunately, that is no longer a problem. I don't know what happened but now I struggle to stay under the calorie goal. I think one thing is that i've slowly gotten back to eating out. I need to look back at what I ate when I started and get back on track. I've been on a plateau for…

Roasted brussel sprouts? How do you do that, Id like to try.

I like Trueheart's Blend Low Sodium Spices. It was made by a chef in Alaska that my mom knows personally. It tastes great on anything. I just rub some into chicken and bake. Thats it!! There is an email address on the label of tntent@gci.net He may be able to ship some.

I know, sometimes it gets really weird. I gained a lb one time and i had been staying under my calorie goal.

I agree with this one. Walk away the pounds is not a lot of crazy jumping around and great for beginners. You still get a workout and your heart rate up but without having to be a gymnast.

You're actually not doing too bad. You are only 1 lb off. I know its discouraging but its better to lose it slowly. If you don't get in too much of a hurry it will be okay. How much are you below your calorie intake? Too low and you will go into starvation mode and your body will retain everything you eat.
