have a Fitbit Charge 2 and am very happy with it.

My husband and I are doing dry January. Time to get healthy!

And it's not a diet fad. It is a way of eating. Nothing crazy, nothing fancy...Easy and very sustainable. Much more so than what I was doing on my own. I actually eat now.

OK people, I knew I would get these types of responses. I was just sharing because it is working wonders for me. I don't follow her meal plan to the T. I do my own version but in the right percentages for me. Her workouts are awesome and I have seen my body change really fast. Nothing else has gotten me in this shape. It's…

Looks similar to vegan but you do have meat as a side dish, not a main. I hate beans!

Thanks Ladies. I could definitely use the flexibility.

You look great!!!

I will be going to 9Round. It's a 30 minute HIIT Kickboxing workout. Awesome.

I would add weight training and lots of squats and ab work. No, you cannot spot reduce but what you can do is get some muscle so that when you do lose the fat, you have some nice muscle. I have been doing this and my stomach and hips are so much tighter. Good luck. It will happen it just takes time.

Heading to the Gym soon to do my kickboxing. I am sore from yesterday but I will power through. Gotta wear my bikinis in 3 weeks. Heading to Maui!

Just wanted to see if there were any suggestions

I have abs, I know I do, under a thin layer. Just trying to see them. Thought 3 weeks would be a good goal for that. I am 5'4" and 130 lbs right now. Trying to drop maybe a few in 3 weeks.

Me too! I am 54 but think I am 25 most of the time. Love to travel and have fun. In fact, my motto in life is "Just Have Fun". I am married with 2 adult kids. Have a sweet old Golden Retriever. I live in California where it is warm most of the time and we don't wear a lot of heavy clothes so being in shape is important to…

WOW, great video and great info!!!!

You want to incorporate weights and cardio. You need to condition overall to lose body fat from anywhere, including the stomach area. And...proper diet...deficit, good sources of protein.

RX bars are all natural I believe

I'm with ya! But I am 54...a bit harder but I am starting to see my abs.

UGH, Plane rides kill me. I get so bloated. Just started happening last year.

I cannot do jumping jacks due to lack of cartilage in my left knee from a ski accident and surgery. I do HIIT workouts.I substitute jumping jacks with something else to get my heart rate up. Sometimes I do squats then a kick as I come up. Anything low impact should be ok for you. Keep doing upper body. You can do weights,…

You will lose on 1200 calories a day IF you are logging and weighing and measuring correctly. No, you will not go into starvation mode which is a myth. I was in a similar position. I did not use a food scale...I do now and realize that I was pretty much underestimating how much I was really eating. It was an eye opener. If…

Kerrigold, the good stuff. I did mention this before by the way.

It sounds like you are really motivated. Just think how you will feel when you start losing weight. You will feel so much better and be even more motivated because you will see how good you feel. You can do this...you have your husband and child to do this for as well as feel great and be healthy for yourself. Best to you.

Yep, almost always...I eat super well during the week and then on the weekends I relax a bit. Have a few margaritas, beers, whatever. I don't log on the weekends either. I don't go crazy but I also just give myself a bit of a break.

Water, water and more water. It flushes your whole body and your skin too.

Donate them. Don't give yourself an excuse to gain any weight back.

I don't. I go by the way my clothes fit.

Yep, that's what I did.

Bad shoes can wreck your feet and legs. You need good sneakers especially if you plan to run a 5k and train for it. I would suggest going to a good sneaker store. tell them what you plan to do and maybe a budget that you have. They will help narrow down the selection. You can try them all on and compare, even run in them a…

But it's not even a measurable amount. Like maybe less than half a teaspoon.

Personally, I like to keep things simple which makes it easy to make food and not look at it as a chore. Examples: egg with piece of toast in the morning. Protein shake mid morning Chicken with vegetables or salad at lunch yogurt mid afternoon snack Chicken or other protein with veggies and a sweet potato or brown rice for…
