Yes it is slow, but it does come off. My Dr and Nutritionist recommended a low-carb plan that is followed by people who are diabetic. I eat no more than 45g of carbs at one meal and 30g of carbs or less for snacks. I also balance a protein with a carb so there is no spikes in blood sugar. The weight is coming off faster…

Your health related issues are very similar to mine. Here are some tips that I have been using the last couple of months and have dropped 12 lbs. First make sure that you are eating a balance of protein and carb. For example if you are going to eat a piece of fruit make sure to add a protein like peanut butter to balance…

I have been doing p90X and training for a 10K for the last month. I really can already see a difference in my body definition. I like the progam because it gives you a little bit of everything. So far I have lost 2 inches off my waist and everything else is shrinking as well. For me it is very much like boot camp with a…

I am lucky because I am hosting Thanksgiving this year at my house so noone is going to complain, but what they will not realize is that all dishes will be made the healthy way. Skinny Mashed potatoes made with chicken broth, and skim milk and just 2 tablespoons of butter Green Beans and Almonds instead of Green Bean…

Good Luck. One my my friend's husband is running it this weekend.

That is a great NSV. One I am sure you will always remember

You have to build muscle to burn fat. It will tone you for sure, but it will also increase your metabolism because you will have more lean muscle.

My favorite weekend food is Chicken Fajita's. If you stick with just the veggie toppings like peppers, onions, and lettuce, tomato and a little guacomole you can have one or two tortillas and be very satisfied. Since most places bring you portions for two take half home and eat it the following day for lunch.

I am trying to save for a new road bike because I do triathlons. So I pay myself $5 a day to track because I hate tracking. It works out on both ends. I am tracking and I am saving at the same time

Chances are you have Insulin Resistance as well. They actually go hand in hand. I agree with the lower carbs. Also try balancing protein with any carb that you eat For example if you are going to have an apple add cheese or peanut butter for a snack. Also check with the your Dr about Metphormin. It is a drug used to treat…

According to many books that I have read. There are 5 body types T,H,O,A, X. T is for the people that have now hips, but are wider from the shoulders down, a lot of men are T. H is for the people that are very proportioned upper and lower bodies with very little curve at the waist., again many men and some women are this…

When I was pregnant with my 2nd child I developed Gestional Diabetes and had to monitor my carb intake and also balance my protein with my carbs. While pregnant I could have 50g of Carbs balanced with 30g of protein per meal. I ate 5 meals a day. Since I had to monitor everything that I ate, I quickly learned that portion…

I have completed 4 sprint triathlons. I used beginnertriathlete.com. They have a 13 week training program for beginners that maps out everyday for you. It makes the training really easy. I would also recommend getting a road bike. I made the mistake of buying a hybrid bike and I have to work a lot harder than most people…

When I started this journey I decided that I had to put myself first. I felt really guilty at first, but then I realized that if I don't make time for myself I will never get to where I want to be. My routine is I get up at 4:30 in the morning and go to the gym. I claim that until 6:00 am Mom does not exist and that I get…

I get a lot of stuff at Target, Ross, Marshalls, amd Kohls

I have hypothyroidism as well. I take Levothyoxine to regulate it. I have lost 57 lbs in the time it takes most people to lose 100+. It is just a slower process. I average about .5lb a week. I am also insulin resistant so I have a double dose of stuff to deal with. What has been working for me is weight watchers. I also…

Make sure you are drinking enough water. If you are not drinking enough water your body holds onto the water it has. Also check with your doctor to make sure you don't have any problems with your sugar levels or thyroid. Both can be killers if you are trying to lose weight. You might also be eating too many fruits and not…

The only way not to be down on yourself is make a change. Start small. I would say change your diet first when you get comfortabie with the eating plan then increase your activity. 90% of weight loss is controlling what goes into your mouth. I have seen many people lose weight simply by changing what they eat. Good Luck.…

bare nesscities has bras up to K

Moving Comfort is great for larger sizes in the bust. You have small frame so buying at Juno or Lane Bryant might be hard because they are made for Plus size chests

I did my first triathlon at the age of 36 last October. I am about to do my 4th triathlon this Sunday. I have done many 5ks, several 10Ks, 1 Half Marathon, 1 Duathlon, and have lost 57 lbs. My max on the bench is 160lbs, and I have leg pressed over 500lbs. I love to cook and my low fat Banana bread is a thing of beauty.

I am about to do my 4th triathlon this weekend. When I started training last May for my triathlon in October 2010 I weighed 245 by race day I was at 219. I love triathlons they make you feel like you are superman or superwoman. There are some great 13 week training programs on the web. My favorite is…

I focus on clothing rather than scale. There are several articles of clothing hanging in my closet that I have never worn because they were given to me by my friends. Every week I try them on to see if I am closer to wearing them. I have now reached the point of wearing 3 of the pairs of pants and several shirts. I weigh…

45 is way beyond Hypoglycemic and you can actually pass out from that low of a blood sugar. You got to get that checked pronto

I am Insulin Resistant as well, but I am not on medication. My doctor and nutritionist told me to keep everything in balance so that I don't have high spikes in my sugar is to balance 15 grams of protein with 30 grams of carb. I would also see if you can talk to your doctor's nurse on the phone and explain what is…

Poor Self image is caused by many things. The first is not having enough confidence in yourself no matter what your size. I have always seen myself as fat compared to other people that I was hanging out with, but they always saw themselves as fat as well. I am now realizing that the media and "thin is in" mentality only…
