I run for at least one hour on treadmill and pool exercise(mostly for arms) for at least one hour.I do both 5-6 days a week

I normally don't buy specifically organic, but if the cost is close enough I buy a few things. I grow my own veggies in the garden and do not buy packaged goods. I make all my meals from scratch.

1200 calories is a minimum for a safe healthy weight loss. You may be starving yourself which will prevent weight loss and be detrimental to your body and not a long term plan. I lost all my weight on a min of 1200 cals plus exercise.

1. Ratatouille, lots of recipies out there 2. Also sliced and grilled on the barbeque with seasonings like onion powder, garlic powder, basil ,pepper etc(my fav) 3. Microwave and stuff with tomatoes and slice of lo fat provolone or parmesean cheese

that and the"pretty face " compliments i''ve received most of my life. I have come to learn that the people that say that really mean well and don't realize that it is not received well. I have set it as one of my goals to set them straight about how someone that receives this"compliment " feels. One of my best friends was…

I have been at my goal weight for 2months and sometimes I still feel fat. Because of the amount I lost I have excess skin and still need more toning.. I know I will never be skinny and that was not my goal. I am fit and off all meds which I have acomplished and am very proud of that. I really cannot believe I was as big as…

PA to Hawaii or PA to Austra, not sure which is the greater distance

2 cups of whatever is fresh veg at the market. Right now I.m eating from the garden....cukes, tomatoes , squash(zuchini),cabbage

1. Carmel rice cake with Smuckers natural PB (everyday) 2. Egg whites with veggies 3. Jello sugar free choc pudding

My go to snack is natural peanut butter (16 grams or 1 Tbsp) on a carmel rice cake. 150 cals. The carmel rice cakes are just sweet enough to do the trick.

I put on 5 lbs in one week when I went to FLA and that was exercising at You Fit (a work out gym all over Fla). and trying to do my best at good choices.It came off pretty fast after I got home. On another trip I gained 12 lbs in 6 days with minimal exercise and a few binge meals.I gain very fast if I eat salty food,…

Without trying to sound like a Mom, (I'm 55 ) my heart feels heavy for you. I know you are sad and rightfully so. If your relationship was meant to be you can withstand it. I'm married 27 years and distance, joys as well as troubles. and uncertainty are the road of life. Take some time to put yourself first and do good…

I lost weight and my husbands drive increased lol. Actually I feel better and sexier, so its a plus for us both, :love:

As long as u feel OK without shin splints or knee pain, I think you can keep going. I just started running in Jan and I run 6 days a week at 6 MPH for 5-7 miles. I did overdo a couple of times and got sore toes and shin splints. Your body usually tells you when its too much.

I am 5'3" and 55 years old. I was on 1200-1300 cals and lost all 180 lbs that way. I exercise alot (1 hour treadmill and 1 hour swimming 5-6 days/week)and eat high protein (100g /day). This worked for me, but it is not for everyone. I had a hard time staying on 1200 cal and since I have reached my goal it is upped to…

I do over an hour everyday on the treadmill. I get my morning news on TV and sometimes it runs into a talk show. I don't usually watch TV otherwise. Sometimes I keep the TV off and I get my mind organized for the day, I pray, and occassionally I find someone who likes to chat (although I run for the first 45 mins at a…

Not a fan of supplements. Real food high in protein is available. Greek yogurt, egg white, nuts,fat free cheese, beans(edemame). I also use protein bars when I need a take along snack. My favs are Nature Valley potein fit bars, South beach protein bars, Lara bars. Just make sure they are not cereal bars with low protein…

I have a "day of deperture" once a month. I eat whatever I want and I look forward to this day and make sure it is something I really want like ice cream or popcorn with butter, a big steak, pancakes with syrup, etc. You have to be very careful with this because it does give the tastebuds a good feeling and it can be hard…

For the first 40-50 lbs I lost I did not work hard at exercise, I "paddled around in the pool" 3-4 times a week and ate 1200 cals as that was all I could manage. As I lost weight I felt more like exercising and now I don't go a day without 2+hrs of exercise.The pounds just came off easier with exercise and I wanted to get…

I have Asics -gel foundation and they do well for me as I have flat feet. I tried the Brooks and I ended up with a bruised toe and lost my toenail. I liked the color of the brooks,but I learned my lesson to go for fit not fashion. Go get fitted and recomended for good shoes. I run 5-7 miles a day and although they are $99…

Good luck to you. I started on the treadmill over a year ago and that is how I lost most of my weight(along with diet of course). Never dreamed I would be able to run. In Jan I started to run using an interval approach similiar to C25K and now I am running 5-7 miles on a daily basis.

I have been at this for a while (almost 2 years) . Some weeks are NSV (Non Scale Victories) and other weeks the scale is my friend. Some weeks nothing budges (Darn ) Take the positive and keep going:flowerforyou:

I started walking on the treadmill a little over a year ago for 15 minutes and thought I would die of exhaustion. I kept at it everyday until I was walking 3.5 miles at 3.5 MPH for an hour. In Jan I started "running". I used interval training similiar to C25K at my own pace. I would walk for 4.5 min and then run 30 sec at…

He had a similiar show for saffron tabs as an appetite suppressent.

I have whites almost every morning for the past 2 years. I add onion, green pepper and 1 TBSP fat free cheese(feta or chedder) . Lately I have been adding fresh grated zuchini from garden instead of the pepper. I also use spinach on occasion. I season with black pepper and sometimes with red pepper I like the all whites…

I wear a 34-36 DDD and I have found Glamorise (white/grey 2 part no bounce) ($50) and also regular Glamorise (black/pink)($39) sports bras. The grey and white one runs small in the band size ,so I get a 38. and a 36 in the black/ pink one. The girls do not move as I run on the treadmill for 5-7 miles a day. I tried the…

So proud of you!!!!!!!! I was there also. Who'd a thought we could be runners!!!! Continue and see what great things the world has to offer!!! "Oh the places you"ll go" (Dr Seuss)

I am a food addict and it is only recently that my husband of 27 years kind of' gets it ! I have reached my goal weight and everyday is still a struggle not to overeat. I still want all those things I shouldn't have, but not in moderation. I still WANT the whole box instead of just one piece.I can go off the deep end in…

After a doctor visit, my first goal was to get off of BP meds and not go on diabetic meds as this was going to surely be my fate. As the weight came off(about 10 lbs a month), I felt better and began to look better. After that as I exercised I felt better. After I had lost 100 lbs, my doctor said"I get that you are eating…

I have recently reached my goal wt and am slightly increasing things right now, but to lose the weight I ate 100grams of protein, 100grams of carbs and 50 grams of fat each day(1200 cal diet) along with exercise. I roughly lost 10 lbs a month
