  • Since you do find time to do the binge eating, why not turn that time into looking up easy recipes (I like allrecipes.com) and go grocery shopping. You can make a couple of big meals and break them down for the whole week. You can also do that with snacks too. This will definitely keep your calorie count in check. I am a…

  • Good for you!! That's awesome!!! It feels really good to get into working out and then seeing an actual change. I've gone back and forth with my endeavors, but I'm back on again. I'm not pressing myself of how fast I want to lose the weight, I just want to make sure I keep up with the healthier lifestyle. I feel that's…

  • Don't worry about not logging. There are days I don't log, I just pick it up the next day I'm able too. You could even try writing it down on paper and then filling it in later. Then when you go back and log it in, you'll see where your mistakes were or not. I think if you keep making it a point to at least write it down…

  • I felt the same way when I started to watch my portions.. but I think it would be much easier to learn how to visualize it. There are websites that tell you how much a portion should be for each type of food group... We all know what a tennis ball, deck of cards looks like. I would try and remember it that way...

  • That's great!!!! It's almost been a year for me. I decided to make last Thanksgiving my last day. Honestly, I've broke down 3 different times within the year, but it would only be just one at those times. I've realized now that "buzz" you get when you haven't smoked in a while, doesn't feel as good when you don't continue…
    in QUITTING...... Comment by Chef2B September 2011
  • At the time I started doing more of those type of workouts, I looked up different types of workouts. I found that the circuit training under the cardiovascular type workouts was closest. After all, I don't take the calorie counts as verbatim, I use it as a guide of where I stand. I think it's pretty hard to accurately put…

  • I got those too when I first started on a treadmill. I powered through, just didn't walk as hard. You can also try positioning your feet differently as you're walking. I'm flat footed so I tend to land on my whole foot, I started trying to focus on landing more on my heel then go to my toes. It actually helped. But FYI,…

  • Your weight makes a lot of difference. The heavier a person is, the harder they have to work, and the more weight they can lose... I had a hard time getting started as well, but if you like the dvd workouts, I would suggest trying Billy Blanks or Bob Harper. I am currently doing both. The Tae Bo is anaerobic, meaning it…
