  • OK I think the main thing that everyone is missing here is that whether you do Atkins or SB its is lifestyle change NOT a diet. The first 2 weeks are used to rid your body of the sugars and level your blood sugar levels. Personally I have done both. I have lost weight on both and BOTH were recommended by my doctor due to…

  • I have done both and in my opinion WHY pay for something that you can do for free. Find a weight loss buddy either on here or just a friend that has similar goals. Be accountable for your self and track what and how much you eat and you will lose weight! Easier said then done . . . NO keep it in your mind that this is for…
    in For those who do weigh watchers? advice please. Comment by Twinmommy13 April 2010
  • I think it is truly a PERSONAL choice! Many people will say that due to daily fluctuations that you should not weigh everyday. HOWEVER, I believe that weighing myself everyday helps me plan my food for the day. If my weight goes up, I look back at what I ate the day before and modify it (usually it meant I ate WAY too much…

  • I am insulin resistant which is the precursor to diabetes. AND I have a massive sweet tooth. Yes artificial sweetners can be bad for but in a nut shell diabetes not treated properly can kill you. Not to be harsh but I have had many family members die from this because they couldnt control their sugar. SO I said all of that…

  • I have used stevia for years. It is great just make sure that you check for additives. I buy the actual extract online so that all of the fillers are gone which are all natural. It is better for you from the research that I have done and we will soon see more and more products sweetened with it.

  • Buying extended warranties are generally a waste of money! If something is going to happen to it that the warranty will cover it will most likely happen during the time that it is already covered. Just make sure you send in all of the product registration paperwork as soon as you open the box. Also more than likely if and…

  • I agree the Wii is awesome but I get some pretty good walking in as well. I have twins and I take them out in the wagon and also find myself walking around constantly while waiting on them hand and foot all day!!

  • Get them from SAMS or Costco and get them in bulk. I believe whole heartedly in finding a better way to snack and although these are expensive and may not be the best in nutrition, you have to do what is going to work for you to get to a healthy weight. My husband and I love the 100 calorie snacks and find that they are…

  • Stevia is a natural no calorie sweetner. It is not chemically created. The FDQ just approved it as a sweetner this past summer and since then many stevia products have appeared like Truvia. I buy mine from betterherbs.com though. It is great with no harmful side effects.
