I'm just starting - on day three. I like what I'm reading about balancing Thyroid (I have Hashimoto's) and hormone issues (I'm 42). I see so many people lose weight quickly this way and I hope to figure out how to do it properly and maintain it. I did Atkins 20 years ago & lost weight but gained it all back. With keto…

Sorry, that should have said "prescription meds," not mess!

For me, exercise is the #1 element. So I want to feel and look better in my clothes? Yes. But at 42 and being a mom and role model, my priorities have shifted. I have a responsibility to let go of the habits of learned self-hatred and self-abuse and show the kids around me what it looks like to love my body right now, in…

You can't find them on Youtube but the Jazzercise HIIT dvd workout is awesome. Once you know the moves you can turn down the sound and play your own favourites.

I think you have to find an exercise that fits the general description of the workouts...HIIT? Or maybe cross training? Not sure but once you choose a description you can adjust the amount of calories burned if you have an idea of how many you've worked off.

Thanks for starting this discussion. I am 40 and do have weight to lose along with wanting to just be stronger and healthier. Will be watching for tips as I am concluding it's time to do some resistance/weight workouts along with my runs.

I am actually drinking a cup or two more than my previous one per day since I gave up sugar, sweeteners and such. Stevia is the only thing I have heard of that is supposed to be "natural" and okay, though there is still some debate about it. I am not a fan of it but if you need the sweetness give it a try. The real key is…

Love the tiger earning her stripes thing...I have them both from weight gain and from childbirth, on my tummy, hips and thighs. My first experience with them was actually on my breasts, which grew basically overnight, and a lot, when I was about 13. I was mortified then and thought I would never be able to be naked in…

Me too, feeling gross and over tired today and have to muddle through caring for my two little boys just the same. Just started my monthly and have a nasty head cold. Do not feel like working out. I will just have to track everything I eat & make careful choices so I don't run out of calories later in the day...Good luck.…

It really is about how much you eat. What you eat is important too, but it's total calories over everything - exercise and all - that makes the difference. Do you have any friends trying to lose weight? Try creating a secret facebook page for support and joining here together. So far it's doing wonders for me. Each week we…

Yes, I will friend you too. It's not easy but you can do it. I find now that I am using this site, I am automatically planning a lot better. Maybe you just need to sit down, write out a plan for change and decide when you will start. Even if you need a week or two to work up to it, you'll feel better knowing you're taking…

A friend of mine has a 40th birthday party on the 11th. She is married to one of my husband's friends whom I've known since I met him 16 years ago. Several other friends of his will be there, all of whom I met when I was still slim, but just before I ballooned up 40 + lbs due to hypothyroid and bad eating & party habits (I…

Awesome, congratulations :D

Thanks for posting this! I was feeling stuck for the last week or two of the month and things are looking up again. This reminds me of what I accomplished before my very temporary pause; I am on a mission! I started the month by running a big 10K race I haven't done since before my oldest was born four years ago. I just…

I think this is a Martha Stewart recipe; my sister made it for my wedding shower and I fantasize about it from time to time, then I MAKE IT! So good. Wild Rice Salad Serves 8 to 10 This is a good addition to a buffet; the flavor develops as it stands at room temperature. 3 cups wild rice Salt 4 blood oranges or navel…

Sounds yummy. I often splash my chicken breasts liberally with chipotle tabasco before, during and after grilling. Some like it hot :D
