I love Geneen Roth!!! She knows her stuff and really believes in listening to your body, stopping when you are full....eating to only a mild fullness....again, I am not close to that and is why I still log my food....but she is a great resource!

I truly feel like it is an addiction similiar to alcholism and drug addiction. I went to couceling for over 2 yrs for binge/non purging issues. I learned to forgive myself and not beat myself up over my addictive behavior. That others do not view myself the way I vew myself. I learned to somewhat listen to my body and stop…

I have been doing Insanity for over a year and now do Asylum too....it is the hardest thing you will ever do but it will put you in the best shape of your life! It will be hard to not give up but don't!! I don't follow the schedule but mix it with my other DVDs.....good luck...do what you can at first and keep digging…

Insanity works your core like crazy!! My abs look amazing after over a year of doing Insanity. And yes, , it is harder than p90x!! I vote Insanity all the way! My arms and back look great too,

Thank u so much for sharing!!! What a wonderful transformation!

Bob Harper has some great workout dvd's!! He is awesome! I also love Insanity and Asylum. Shaun T is awesome too!

You need to eat throughout the day, it keeps your metabolism up....once you start eating breakfast, working out, you will kick your metabollism in and then you will probably be hungry. There are days when I am eating all day long.....I workout pretty hard 6 days a week....and always carry snacks and water with me in case…

When I am tired....that is when I binge. I lose focus of my healthy eating way of life....I is happening less and less....I try to get plenty of sleep but some days it just happens. I forgive myself and move on,,l,l

I love artificial sweeteners! I eat fat free yogurt, sugar free everything, walden farm products are zero calorie condiments which are made with Splenda. It really helps me still enjoy food and eat and still keep my weight down. I drink diet sodas, crystal lite....anything that has nutra sweet or splenda I am there! You…

MFP all the way!!! WW is not as accurate.....losing weight is calories in/calories out! That is exactly what MFP counts....and it is free!! Why pay for WW when you will be guessing at points with exercise points, when MFP is free and is more accurate? Tell your friends they need to change over to MFP!! LOL!!

I got one at Christmas and LOVE it!! I am the only coffee drinker in my house, so I can make only 1 cup if I want or more than that if I want...I can mix flavors of coffee.....It is awesome and so worth the price! And FAST too!!

I have had it off and on for 10 yrs....I did get insoles for my shoes and still wear them in my workout shoes. Stretching is essential....anti inflamatory meds....it took about 10 months for it to go away and I still have flare ups every so often. I also was told to not run on a regular basis....I spin a lot, do Insanity,…

Eat 2 servings of fruit a day, veggies at lunch and dinner....make one meal have no bready carbs a day....I usually choose lunch b/c I can get a grilled chicken salad almost anywhere. Pure protein bars have 20 g of protein in them, protein shakes.....chicken....be careful w/nuts b/c they have a lot of calories....good luck!

Do not get too hungry....you can easily eat the calories throughout the day....if you get hungry, eat! But not Little Debbies! Get low calorie, higher protein snacks.....I love Pure Protein bars, yogurt mixed with fiber one cereal, fruit, cheese sticks, etc.....that has helped me more than you can imagine! Once you realize…

The Notebook!!

I get up at 5 am and do not eat anything before I workout. I usually will eat by 8 am....unless my blood sugar drops, then I will eat a snack....1 tbls Peanut butter and 1 slice of bread. Otherwise I usually am pretty good until 8. Everyone is different!

I add splenda to it b/c I need it sweeter and sometimes I add cinnamon to it. Love it!! It really does help with the PB craving!

HEY!! What about Lean Cuisines?? Are you a Smart One snob?? (can you hear my sarcasm??) LOVE IT!!

I started buying portabella mushrooms to go with my hamburgers (96% fat free instead of 85%) instead of buns!! Love spaghetti squash instead of pasta!! No more graham crackers b/c I will over do it everytime! Especially when I put peanut butter and jelly on them!! Stopped buying them completely!!

I bet if you added fiber one cereal to it, it would be good too!! Sounds great!

I love cottage cheese with yogurt! I will mix it with fat free cherry yogurt, put fresh cherries in it and mix fiber one cereal in it! Protein, carbs and fiber!! SO tasty!!!

I love sugar free stuff. Sometimes I make toast with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray on bread, toast it and put 2 tbls of sugar free cherry jelly on it. Like 100 calories. Use high fiber low cal bread and it is a sweet tasty snack!

I think every so often, it is OK. Especially if you have a special occasion....Sometimes, I save my calories for wine on Saturday nights! I also might have higher calorie workout burn too......

I mix cottage cheese in with non fat yogurt....I love the fat free cherry yogurt with fresh cherries, cottage cheese then mix fiber one cereal in it. Or banana yogurt with a banana, cottage cheese and cereal......any yogurt makes cofttage cheese so good!! That is my favorite way of eating cottage cheese!!! I don't like it…

I like putting protein powder in oatmeal....makes it very tasty!! I use Super Advanced Whey Isolate Vanilla Creme....1 scoop is 130 cal and 30 g of protein. I get it at Walmart....my hubby uses it to make his shakes with bananas and almond milk. That is also really good!! I sometimes mix it with yogurt to increase my…

How old is your child? What time do you get up? I usually get up at about 4:50 am to get my workout in before everyone else wakes up. I have a 5 yr old and a 7 yr old, work everyday along with their extra curiculliar activites....I get 6 workouts in a week and usually only workout at home. I have tons of dvd's, an…

Get some DVD's....Bob Harper's are great! It includes weights and cardio....I love his stuff!!
