I need a low carb as well.. I am 50 something.. a runner, cyclist and all around active person with an all around round belly.. I would love help and friendships! Thank you

Hi there.. I would be interested in knowing what others use or experience... here is my recent experience: EAS Soy Protein - Mixes nicely, has a great taste (chocolate), low in cholesterol, but is high in sugar.. I think the 3rd ingredient is fructose.. WalMart sells it.. Visalus VI-Shape Nutritional Shake Mix Sweet Cream…

I love juices that have more of an earthy taste.. here is my go to favorite: 4 large Carrots 2 med. stalks of celery 1/2" fresh Ginger root (peeled) 1/2 of a Parship (also peeled) 1 small beet May I also suggest if you are new to juicing to take one day and do your prep work so that in the am.. you can be creative with…

So greatly put! My quick fix will hopefully reset my mindset to everyting in moderation and really just help reset my sugar habit!

Hi there.. I am just finishing my 2 weeks on Phase 1. I have done this diet before and it works for ME. I am 48 and going thru Menapause a'natural so my belly fat is out of control.. and I exercise 3 days a week. Last year I joined had a personal trainer and worked out 5 days a week - hard.. kept my eating at 1200 calories…

Close by.. Outside of Marysville..:)

I obviously do not know how to repost with a quote. I would love to try the almond joy one. I love anything coconut. Also my apologies for my spelling errors on the previous post.. I did read the ingredients this morning as I made my shake and it does list soy protien isolate as the first ingredient. I had a pharmist tell…

I just recently started using the sweet cream body by Vi protein powder. I am normally a juicer in the am, and it is a challenge for me to eat in the morning.. let alone eat protein so I have a friend who sells it and gave me a free bag to try. She is NOT out to make money.. she is a distributer only because her family…

I made this today.. and it was fantastic! Thank you.. and it made enought for me to freeze for lunches later and that is always a plus! Kim

Hi There.. I have been jucing for about 5 months (so relatively new too) . I ordered 2 books from Amazon one called Juicing for Life and the other is a book of recipes and pictures called The Big Book of Juices My favorite is.. 3 or 4 carrots, 1/2 a beet, 2 celery sticks, about 1/2 cup or parsnip and then an inch worth of…

Thank you everyone.. after much research, I was goint to limit my fruit but not completely cut it out. I would rather go without my wine than my berries :) I did not know about eating fruit on an empty stomache.. I have so much to learn.. and the nutrition world can be a bit overwhelming! I did the South Beach diet a few…

I am to new to the Belly Fat Cure book, as I just began reading it this week. My fruit has always been my candy.. as I grew up on an orchard. Thank you for the links.. I am open to friends on the BFC.. I am a newbie to this.. and still reading and learning.. Kim

Mandy, I am on day 3 too (friend me if you like) and a little sore. I started day one on Sunday, then day two on Monday.. but since I do Yoga/Spin on Tuesdays I skipped a day and really the yoga helped me stretch. What pound weights are you using? I am using 5 lbs.. and sometimes I just go until I cannot lift.. then I just…

Interesting.. I googled them. I have never heard of them.. or anyone talking about them .. but I also have only a few die-hard runner fans.. Can you try them on in a running store that has a treadmill? It would be interesting to hear if anyone has tried them..

WOW what strength and determination you have had in spite of everything. I am relatively new to this site.. and my battle is no where near what yours have been.. but I just wanted to write a quick note.. of graditute for your attitute. Keep loving yourself.. because that is what you are doing.. you are unconditionally…

:) I did the dvd for the first time tonight. I thought I was in relatively good shape (for my shape lol). I spin and do yoga for 60 minutes, I run up to 2 miles.. etc.. but it kicked my *kitten* when it came to the weights and upper body. I got my 5 lb weights out and when I was finished with the 20 minutes I was searching…

Diana Gabaldon - Outlander Series.. my favorite all time books as well..First book is called Outlander, then Dragonfly in Amber.. you will be hooked they are an excellent read and superbly written!

Thank you so much for the inspiring story.. I bought the shred last weekend and I have watched the shred.. just not sure why I cannot put it in the dvd player and DO the shred.. Thank you for the inspiration.. Thank you.. It means a lot to read posts like yours! I am sorry for your calf and hope that heals quickly.. and I…

I am starting this this tonight.. I looked and researched the calorie burn..and although it really does depend on how much you "give" during the work out.. I know I will give it 100% -why waste your time otherwise is my thinking, plus I am only really cheating myself. So after an afternoon of research. I chose 180 calories…

Water or any liquid will cause gas if you guilp it down or drink very fast.. ingesting air along with it! Try a filter.. invest in a good one it will save you money in the long run by saving you from buying bottled water.. and if it taste better you will drink it and it will be healthier for it. :) Honestly I want to get…

Start writing what you feel in letters mom.. she will appreciate that more than anything. I went thru basic training (a very long time ago).. and what kept me going was mail call. The letters will help you express your love and proud feelings and they will help get her thru some very long hard days. Snip local articles to…

Congratulations!

My feet are wider at the top.. so I usually need extra room for my toes.. I love Saucony's.. they also have support in them. I agree go to a running shoe store. .. for a free analysis.. you roll your pant legs up, walk or run barefoot in the store or on a treadmill and they can tell what type of pronation you have. Good…

Was in Ireland this summer.. beautiful place, fun folks.. thanks for the hospitatlity! Good luck with your goal!

I love Pandora.. great topic.. I just got an Iphone so I love to hear the suggestions as well!

I agree with Sara.. I have several play list.. because I will get too bored.. but it is nice that I kinda know how far I have run (or have left to go) by the number of songs once I have the play list memorized.. but here are a few I have playing in my ears We will Rock you/Queen Just Fine/Mary J. Blige Raise your…

Make it a challenge! a check off, chart, number your bottles..In the am say I am going to drink 3 glasses today.. or 2 bottles, etc. Add flavorings, lemon, lime,etc. , try it cold, try it at room temperature, Slam it.. pretend it is a bottle of beer and you are 17.. and jug jug jug.. every time you cuss or think negatively…

Juana! I cannot encourage you enough to start yoga! When I started 15 or more years ago, it was more about finding a "spiritual" place.. I needed a way to calm my mind.. Now it is more about the physical part of it, staying limber, keeping balance, but it still does help me take one hour and shut the world out an challenge…
