I used to love lean cuisines but I realized they have too much sodium in there. I eat them occassionally if I need something quick. I like to eat salads for lunch w/ grilled chicken or protein shakes which usually fill me up.

I tend to burn more calories on the elliptical!

I"m sorry you're feeling frustrated...that's a normal feeling when you're trying to lose weight. This is a great site to find support and tips from people who want to lose weight and get healthy! I always feel better after I exercise....it can be as simple as walking around your neighborhood. Try and get some exercise in…

I do that all the time when my kids are constantly asking for snacks or when I'm preparing meals....try drinking lots of water and have healthy snacks available like cut up veggies or fruits on hand to resist temptations. I also try and chew gum during those tempting moments too....it stopped me from eating homemade fudge…

I also log it as circuit training....I'm still on level 1 and it's a hard workout!

I love wine....red wine is my best friend but I alslo like a good Riesling & Pinot Grigio. Blackstone and Mirrassou are good brands...about $10 each so not too expensive. I'd suggest having both red and white wines at your dinner party. Enjoy!

My hair is naturally curly and I hate it.....I just cut off 4-5 inches and now it's super curly!! I try and straighten it but I usually don't have the time or patience. Everyone seems to have straight hair now!

Pilates is really good for strengthening your core muscles. Try a Pilates DVD or take a class! I took a class last week and my stomach muscles were burning the next day.....great workout and you can go at your own pace and build up your endurance. Good luck!

Fun workout! I went to a bachelorette party and one of our stops was a pole dancing class.....I didn't think I'd like it but it was a lot of fun and it was definitely a workout! I haven't tried it since but if I had the chance, I'd do it again! Belly Dancing is also another good workout and you can learn some new moves…

I agree....someone needs to make me smile and laugh! I was stuck with someone who was way too negative and always brought me down!

Someone w/ a good personality and sense of humor!

I used to eat the Kashi Go Lean cereal too b/c it tasted good and it filled me up. I'm now drinking protein shakes b/c it fills me up and hardly has any sugar. I'm not hungry all morning! Check out the website....www.lisalynnfitness.com I love the chocolate shake is my favorite. The woman is a local ftiness expert and has…

Try having popcorn as a snack....they have a lot of varieties and small portion sizes. I find that helps me when I'm craving something salty/crunchy.

I have a lot of her videos and have been a fan for 8 years when my oldest son was born! I like the 5 mile walk too and usually do that when I can't get to the gym or walk/run outside. It's definitely a great workout!

I like doing the Leslie Sansone walking videos when I can't walk outside or get to the gym. She has a lot of videos ranging from 1-5 miles and they're easy to follow.

Bump! Check-out "Crock pot girls" on Face Book for more recipes!

My husband hardly pays attention to me so it doesn't matter....LOL!

oh no...I can't wait to take my bra off at the end of a long day!

I'm going through the same thing....slow weight loss. I'm trying to drink more water and watch my carb and sodium intake...trying to eat more veggies, protein, limit fruits b/c of the sugar, and trying to avoid sweets and snacking. It may be a good idea to get your thyroid checked out too.....my sis ended upon meds b/c her…

I"ve been thinking of trying it since my cousins have lost a lot of weight on it and have maintained their loss. I was skeptical too but now I"m thinking of trying it! I may just do it for a month and see how it goes.

I've started it and have been on level 1 for a while....I need to do it daily and would love some motivation!!! It definitely works so I need to keep with it. My excuse is having my 3 kids around and trying to find the time to sneak in a workout w/o constant interruptions!! I also walk at night w/ a friend but need some…

Welcome! This is a great site to find support and ideas for your weight loss goals.

I also like to do Leslie Sansone's walking DVD's in the…

love the "Zone" protein bars....cookie dough is my fav and it's smaller compared to the typical protein bars. It tastes like a candy bar! Balance protein bars are good too...I also like the skinny cow ice cream sandwiches yum! They're both very satisfying!

Hello and welcome! I'm sure you'll love this site and you'll get a lot of support and motivation. I'm also doing the 30dshred so I'll add you as a friend for some extra support. Good luck!

Leslie Sansone walking DVD's are very good and easy to follow. There are several different ones to try ranging in 1-5 miles that you can do right in your living room! It's a good way to start out exercising if you haven't done it in a while. Jillian Michaels has a variety of ones and I'm currently doing the 30 day shred…

I'd love to join too...thanks!

HI, I'd like to do it too! I bought the DVD and need to actually use it now!

Leslie Sansone walking DVDS are very easy and effective....she has 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 mile walking videos.
