you cold drink one glass of red wine and drink it slowly, or what I usually do is drink a tall glass of water plus white vodka (not a lot) and squeeze in some lime for flavor. Its not sweet, is fairly low in calories, and lasts a long time.

I usually weight in the morning. But mostly I make sure I weigh at the same time each day to get an accurate account of weight lost.

Stevia and truvia come from the same source. Yet, this person is right - stevia is the best choice!

Splenda was actually created as a pest control chemical. When the researchers found that the "pests" were eating it and not dying, they adapted it as a sweetener for humans. Gross huh! Truvia is a natural sweetener like sugar but without the addiction factor and negative effects on the body like sugar has. I agree natural…

I'm 5'2" or so and 39 years old. I'm in the process of releasing at least 50 lbs. I have "lost" weight in the past but I just found it again so this time I'm going to "release" it! LOL I'll send you an invitation to connect.

So do I! Isagenix is an amazing product!

Your results depends on your starting point and your eating habits. And what were your goals with it? Its a resistance training workout so it can actually bulk you up if you lift too heavy. Also, did you take your measurements? You may be getting smaller without weighing less since muscle is much more dense than fat. If…

regular boxing is great. Its totally low impact yet gets the calorie burn of running. i love it! you can even throw in some kicks to work your legs too.

The gold on top one or the last one I like the best. I will say that no matter which one you choose, you will look awesome as you really look good in each one. Good for you!

Purchase Oxygen magazine. There is a lot of strength training exercises and information and its all geared toward women. or you can check out their website, www.oxygenmag.com. Good luck!

I love to eat it steamed or dried. The only bad thing I discovered about it is that it can raise hormone levels in an un-healthy way if you eat a whole lot of it. Stay in moderation and it should be fine.

You are saying you hate your body so its no wonder that you aren't motivated. When is the last time you care about or took care of something you HATE?!? Self-talk is a strong motivator and a complete manipulator and it doesn't matter if the self-talk is positive or negative. If you decide to LOVE your body, even as it…

For shakes I like Isagenix (only available online) and Jay Robb products.

The only think I can see that you are doing "wrong" is your expectation. Have you ever lost weight before? If not, you don't have an accurate example of how YOUR body responds to your new program. Keep with it, and start measuring inches as well as pounds because you probably will loose inches quicker than you loose…

I was actually going to suggest you get evaluated by a therapist or counselor for bi-polar but you said it first. That type of thing can come back and perhaps because you are eating differently which can upset your body chemistry and maybe that's why. Usually starting workouts will make you happier or more of something.…

Its a 60-day at home workout program. High energy. Bootcamp style. The calorie burn is amazing and no special equipment is needed. Research it on Bing or Google. You'll find the website there.

Started Insanity for the first third time yesterday. I love it but I tend to get to week three and then fizzle out. This time I enlisted the support of a workout buddy to keep me on track and make sure I get through the week-3 hump.

why did you get frustrated?

I logged insanity as a workout here after researching the calorie burn online and with my own heart rate when I do it. Just type in Insanity and the plyo workout will pop up but they all burn pretty much the same. Also, log it as cardio and not strength and the calories will register.

Its take about 21 days of consistency to make a habit. Getting up earlier than normal needs to be a habit in order to do it easily. If you can commit to at least 21 days of getting up at 5:30 instead of 6:30 and then workout first thing in the morning, you will actually have way more energy for the entire day. Working out…

I'm a tough love sort of person so I may sound harsh in my reply to you but its totally out of concern and to give you ideas to fix this problem. I'm going to say that if you tell yourself you are in an "impossible situation", then it will continue to be that way until you think of it as a situation that you can definitely…

I understand where you are coming from; however, it may be a good idea to remember this is the internet and people will not really get to know each other here - by nature it is a somewhat "superficial" world. I wanted the same thing so what I have done is encourage my real-life friends to join this site and connect with me…

For me its about accountability. If I didn't think I could hold myself accountable on my eating, then I would open it. That way I know that I'll only do what I can be proud to tell.

SO TRUE! And those hormones can cause up to 9 lbs of additional weight to register on the scale.

are you eating your workout calories?

My only question for you is why would you go back on it when it caused you headaches? That seems like a clear indicator that you shouldn't take them. Just bust your *kitten* without them and see what happens...

Do you lift weights or do any resistance exercise? That will help keep your skin tight. Also, if you are losing weight quickly, you can wear compression garments to keep the skin as tight as possible. That's what they do on the biggest loser show.

I use it when I don't really have the time to look stuff up and I already know the calories. And I always make sure if I use it, I get it accurate. Someone said it can lead to bad habits; however, I don't necessarily agree if you use it responsibly.

Someone suggested ditching the scale and I agree. Get a tape measure and take your measurements instead for a period of time and see what is actually going on with your size. That way you will know if you are actually gaining muscle and getting tighter, smaller, even though you may be putting on pounds. Also, sometimes if…

The yogurt parfait is only 140 calories and tastes very good. All of the snack wraps are good, chicken and burger types. And their salads are great as long as you get the chicken grilled.
