My trainer says that when you are doing crunches you need less than 3 inches of movements to target the right ab muscles without straining your back.

Thank you for posting this. It reminded me of how important it is to WRITE DOWN my goals. I have them but never journal or write them down. I have lost 60+ lbs but have 20 to goal and have just been maintaining since Nov. I have stepped up my exercise routine and am eating healthy regularly. Last night I ate off my normal…

It does get easier!!! Good…

When I get in those modes I have to figure out why I am eating and try to replace eating with something else. My problem is usually at 3ish in the afternoon. I have decided to go out and walk around the building when I am tempted to eat and am not really hungry. I have to evaluate myself to determine if I am eating for…

I just joined today as well. I have lost 70 lbs since July using another program which I love and has taught me very healthy habits, but I wanted to use the tracking and journalling and join some friends on this site. Good luck to you. Learning to eat when hungry and stop when full... Making healthy choices... I've learned…
