The best time of day to exercise is the time that works best for you. Studies go back and forth on this topic and there are benefits in exercising in the morning and later in the day. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference and lifestyle. Choose a time that helps you make exercise a regular and consistent part of…

Good Morning All Great to see everyone checking in. Cindy down 1.1 :) Notquitting :/ don't give up, keep focused and keep moving forward, taxigirl down 2.0 :) way to go! For me I am still at a plateau after 3 weeks! :'(

When you are at a diet plateau and feeling disappointed and binge, it's not your fault. When to restrictive on these fad diets, we often binge or just stop trying. The trick is to forgive yourself and get back on track with a well balanced diet and exercise. Give yourself permission for a small cheat and learn from it and…

Weight loss is primarily a numbers game: calories in versus calories out. So choose nutritious foods, but count those calories and be mindful. And when you count the calories make sure you're meeting your weight loss calorie goal. (VW)

Snack Your Way to Slim Working snacks into your day can help you stick to your diet - just make sure to factor in those extra calories! (EH)

Good Job Notquitting and Cindy, taxigirl just get back on track. Start March 25th: Name: BCL SW: 204 GW:172 April 2: CW:201.1 Down 3.3 this week.

Well, my first month weigh in was great this morning, down 16.6 pounds! :p Now I hope I can do it again this month.

Should You Take Vitamins? A healthy diet should give you all of the vitamins and minerals you need, but many people take vitamins just to make sure. There are several formulations available, but all you need is a simple multivitamin and multi-mineral supplement. "Live Lighter, Healthier, Happier"

Low energy and Dieting Water and fiber provide little, if any, energy to foods. Eating more water-rich and fiber-rich vegetables and fruit can decrease the energy density of the diet. Protein and carbohydrates provide less than one-half the energy of fat per gram.

Good Morning all Two more days before my 1 month check in with my doctor, If I can just lose a few more pounds.
