Okay, let me see if I can figure out how to do that.

I just heard of it, so I have not had time to do any research on it. Would be interested too.

I have been working out with a personal trainer that is also a body builder. He said that eating clean is the key to the abs. No sugar, dairy and I can't remember if there is anything else. It seems like he mostly eats lean meats and green leafy veggies, egg whites, for complex carbs he eats Old fashion oatmeal, sweet…

Yes, I have been tracking my calories forever it seems. Did weight watchers for about 8 years and then started gaining on the new program when fruit was a free food. From allergy testing, I was informed that I am allergic to sugar and many other foods. Removed those back in August. For sugar, I typically have fruit but…

Yes, I have taken measurements and pics and have seen no change. My husband said that I am looking firmer, but I can't see it. clothes are still fitting the same. The Personal trainer took all kinds of measurements about a month ago. I need to find time to get back with him and do that one day. Just always pushed for time…

I have an elliptical and have been using it since January. The weight is not dropping off. I am wondering if I am getting my heart rate up enough. How do we figure where we should be at. I have thought about getting a HRM, but not sure what type would be best. I am typically at a 3.2 on it and dripping with sweat after the…

I have been trying to find a new doctor. I was told at first that I was prediabetic and to just take these meds. I told them no, I wanted to speak with the doctor first and make sure I understood everything. Then, she retested me and told me I wasn't but could be some insulin resistance issues. She was suppose to look into…

I am reading Insulin Resistance Diet. It seems very practical. They are saying no more than 30 carbs per meal max and with every 15 carbs you eat, you need 7 protein to counteract those carbs. Today is day one in doing what they call Balanced Eating. I am interested in seeing if this will finally work or not. Good luck…

I am right there with you. I grew up with a thin sister. I was always told by my mother how big I was. Looking back, I really wasn't. But, I was always told I couldn't wear something because my hips or thighs were too big. I am 42 and still have a ton of self-esteem issues. I just can't get past them. I try to love myself…

Hi everyone, I am pretty new too. I started the profile awhile back, but have really been trying to stay focused this last month. I am older, (over 40) and have 2 kids 15 and 11 years old. I am not sure how to add people to my list. :smile:

My doctor switched my pill last year. With insurance, that pill was not being made as much and it was extremely expensive to pay monthly. I was on that pill for 10 years without any issues at all. I switched to a new on and have gained 15 lbs that I can't seem to get off. I can exercise, track everything I eat and still…

Bump to read later.

I have been trying to focus on more portein and limiting my carbs. Still have not seen a difference. Weight is still stuck at the same when I started doing this 3 weeks ago. I keep thinking that because I am now exercising regularly, that maybe I am building muscle and that soon the weight will start to come off. Still…

I am having the same issues. Started about 3 weeks ago. I am doing the ellipitcal 5 days a week between 20-30 minutes. Depending how much time I have. I always stay below my daily intake as well. Breakfast - egg beaters, jimmy dean lean turkey sausage and toast Lunch - a lean meat with broccoli or some veggie. Fruit Dinner…

I am thinking about purchasing a HRM. Any suggestions on what is a good one. I have seen ones that look more like a watch and think I would probably wear that more.

Thanks, I will have to make one of these tomorrow night.
