  • When I started at first, I was very strict. 1200 calories and no less then 60 minutes of cardio a day. And no matter what I always ended up binge eating, and end up giving in for a few days. Then back to strict dieting and repeating. So instead I allow myself one day every two weeks at least. Usually a saturday, or a day I…

  • I've heard a ton of good things about the 30 day shred. I think I might finally give it a try and see where I get. Thanks a ton!

  • I work a desk job, but my desk sits fairly high so I try to stand most of the time.. Totally silly but I'll stand on one leg and balance myself as often as possible. When I have a few minutes I'll do arm workouts (sit at the edge of my chair and push myself up and down) I put reminders in my phone to remind me throughout…

  • Does this work pretty good for you? We're about the same height and weight and I just increased my calories to 1400 to try to break through a plateau.. hasn't seemed to be working for me yet.

  • Egg whites. I usually hardboil 'em and just throw the yolk out, but I'll also just buy egg whites in the carton, and add extra lean turkey ham for even more protein. I love turkey burger (97% lean) and kidney beans (I'll buy 'em canned and heat 'em up with chopped tomatoes for a quick meal.) Greek yogurt is also very good!…

  • Some fruit is actually way high in sugar! I can have 3/4 of a large banana in my oatmeal and go over my sugar limit! But I could have 3 cups of frozen raspberries and be fine. Tracking everything can be massively frustrating. But make sure to watch the nutritional info on the fruit you eat.. I made sure to stay under my…

  • I absolutely love green tea! Dr. Oz says to add more citrus fruits to your diet to reduce body fat so I've been trying that. I take AbCuts, many consider it a diet pill but my Dr. okayed it and it's helped me. I take fish oil pills and a daily vitamin when I'm not taking AbCuts though. Hope this helps! :)

  • I swear by BioOil. I gained almost eighty pounds while I was pregnant with my son so not only did I get an insane amount of stretchmarks because of that but they got worse and I got even more when I dropped almost fourty pounds in a month and a half but I started using BioOil seven months into my pregnancy when the…
