I lost 16lbs on the BBV 90 day challenge. I think this is the most versatile shake mix out there. You can mix it w/Soy, Almond, Skim milk, oatmeal, etc. I have made shakes w/coffee & cocoa. You can use sugar free pudding mix, extracts, fruit & vegetables. I mean there are 100s of recipes for the ViSalus shake mix. If…

I totally agree w/you. Wendy's does seem to have more healthier options. You're right about Hardee's...their food is VERY fattening!

When I go to Wendy's I get the Ultimate Chicken Grill sandwich. It has 360 calories and 7 grams of fat. If I'm extra hungry I'll also get a small chili and that has 210 calories and 6 grams of fat. I have to say for fast food it's not that bad compared to burgers & fries.

Walking just 30 minutes a day will help. I tend to get lazy when it comes to exercising but when I do exercise I see results. You can do it! :)

I use the Body By Vi shake mix and I mostly use light soy milk. My favorite in the morning is 6 ice cubes, 2 scoops of Vi mix, 10oz light soy milk, 1 instant coffe packet (like Taster's Choice) & 1-2 tsp of unsweetened cocoa...blend....it's like one of those mocha frappes but less all the sugar, fat & calories. Sometimes I…

This is a great idea! You're right, lunch portions do tend to be smaller and a lot of places offer lunch specials..like 2 for 1 deals. Dinner can be somewhat expensive, depending on where you go, plus you have the temptation to order appetizers and dessert and like you pointed out, after lunch you can always squeeze in a…

Finding motivation to exercise can be hard. I tried losing weight on my own but it never seemed to work. I finally joined Curves and the women there are so supportive. There are days that I so do not want to work out but I have to force myself. Once I walk in the door & see all those lovely ladies it totally changes my…

I totally agree w/you ladies about potassium supplements. If you think your potassium level is too low then the best thing to do is see your doctor. I have a family history of high blood pressure and twice a year I have blood work done and one thing he checks is my potassium level. Too much or too little can affect your…

I like almond milk but for more protein you should try soy or light soy milk. I'm currently on the Body By Vi 90 challenge and I started out using skim milk but unfortunately it did not agree w/my digestive system! I switched to soy and problem solved. Plus, soy milk has less carbs, calories & sodium than skim milk but…

Hi! I somewhat tried a vegan diet for Lent earlier this year. I didn't try the vegenaise but I've seen it in the grocery store. Below is there website if you want to check it out www.followyourheart.com I also tried the Veggie Patch Chick'n Cutlets. They're 100% vegan and I thought they tasted pretty good. I still eat them…

In my opinion, McDonald's is definitely not the place to go on a first date! On the other hand, wouldn't expect to be taken to a fancy expensive restaurant either. Personally, I like small local places or if the weather is nice somewhere with outside seating. I want to be comfortable on a date and get to know the person…
