  • It took me a while to start losing. I guess it is trial and error. If one thing isn't working, don't give up, just try something else until it works. It took literally 5-6 months for me to get it right, but I didn't give up. You will do great!!!

  • I hear ya. I felt the same way. First, I realized that my weight was really bringing me down and then I realized that I DESERVE to make myself happy. Some major things I did to stop being so darn tired is drink lemon water (great health benefits including energy), LESS coffee (easily makes you dehydrated which in turn…

Anyway, I love them with salt, however I don't add the extra salt because I don't want to get bloated.

  • I have to agree, the munchies would make you take down a lot more calories / fat / and carbs than you need. Unless you immediately go to sleep afterwards to keep yourself from eating.

  • The way I have tried to beat getting discouraged is by NOT looking at those photos, de-tagging yourself, or asking your friends to take them off.

  • The elliptical is my favorite. When I bumped up the resistance to between 8-10 I started losing more calories, faster. I like to read a book while I go. Takes me about 40 minutes to lose 400 calories. Wish I was one of those people who can do it for 1 hour + but I'm not, at least for now. I'm looking into purchasing one…

  • I was having the same problem and stopped putting extra salt where I would usually pile it on. Not to mention, I tried the Triple Leaf Tea Super Slimming Herbal Tea and let me tell you, if used properly is awesome for its natural cleansing effect.
