It happens Sue, I'm up 2lbs from this weekend. I wouldn't say it in public, but I am finally figuring out I stress eat when hubby is home. I don't think he means to stress me out but he does. He's an civil engineer, totally into every single little detail of things which drives me crazy, and I finally figured out that if I…

I did it for a week and was so ill. I was dizzy, felt faint and was hungry all the time, not to mention to cost of all these fruits and vegetables needed to juice. I also went out and bought a brand spanking new Jack Lalaine juice, the high end one and still I lost so much of the goodness of the vegetables. That being…

Tai chi is actually martial arts based, I have done both Tai Chi and gigong, and omg I hurt the next day, gigong was all stretches and holding poses, sure they are slow paced but they are much harder than you think. That being said they are both awesome. And FYI, I was doing both of these at 375lbs!

Do what feels right for you. Personally I disagree with your coach, fat is not the enemy. Eating healthy fats, such as coconut, avocado, olive oils and real butter is just fine. Also increasing protein (grass fed, pasture raised is best) and including fish is a healthy approach. If low fat low cal works for you, great!…

I have drastically my diet, I try to eat fruit, veggies and lean grass fed, protein only now. I still occasionally slip up but I'm working on it. Stay strong you…

I cut out refined sugars, processed foods, legumes, sodas, potatoes and I severely restrict breads also. My doing this I have lots more calories to play with. It also means I can eat more good foods, such as Steak, Pork, BACON and my current fave ground buffalo. Yesterday for example I made my own version of PF Chang's…

I'm a (dog) foster mom. I'm involved with great Pyrenees rescue. You know the great big white polar bear dogs? Yup they are pyrs. 100lbs plus of doggy love! Hubby and I have fostered 20 +/- over our 5 years in foster. I've foster failed 3 times. I'm a sucker for the ones with emotional, separation anxiety issues.
