Have you tried exercising with therabands? They are the stretchy bands used for chair exercises. Many of the gyms use them for senior chair aerobics - and they provide a great workout. I think you can find a list of exercises online to use with the band - or most bands come with instructions. Give it a try - I used them at…

Not sure how the machines that you used were set up, but typically they have the ability to change resistance depending on your needs. If not, the harder and faster you work - the more results you will see and feel. Unlike standard weight machines where slower is better - in a circut training system, faster is better.…

Try making high fiber food choices and make sure to drink plenty of water as you increase fiber. Also, I eat yogurt with live cultures and that really helps - although when you start eating the yogurt it may take a few days for your body to adjust.

I found a new fiber product that so far does not cause "tummy troubles". This week I bought the Kellogs All-Bran fiber drink mix. They are individual packets (similar to crystal light) and come in iced tea and pink lemonade. The best part is that they contain 10g of fiber! They really work to keep me full - I had one…

A guide to help when you eat out: 1) follow a 3/4 plate rule - 1/4 of the plate should contain protein (meat or beans), and 3/4 of the plate should contain plant based foods (1/4 starchy - like bread, pasta, potatoes or corn & 1/2 plate fresh, colorful veggies) 2) Portion sizes: 1 serving of meat - 3oz -is the size of the…

Another concern with fruit is that most pieces of whole fruit are larger than a serving size. The recommends 5 serving of fruit this does not necessarily mean 5 whole pieces of fruit. A serving size of fruit should be about the size of a tennis ball - a small piece of fruit. Typically a whole banana is about 2 serings of…

Love the idea.. I'm 22 and working hard to meet my goal before I get married in May. I'm 5'5'' Starting weight: 220 Current weight: 188 Goal Weight: 150 - for now, I'll decide when I get there!

I am not a video game fan, so I did my research on the wii fit. It was created to get people moving and to support a healthy lifestyle. It promotes not only weight loss, but also balance, stretching and it gives health tips about sleeping, diet, etc. Studies have proven that individuals will loose weight with this game,…

Jolly Time Healthy Pop Popcorn - I found a new carmel apple popcorn that is low on calories and DELICIOUS! Works wonders for my sweet tooth and is very filling.

Very neat - I have not seen this one. I use portion pals - they are dish washer safe cutting boards for each food group and they show the proper portion. I use it when preparing meals at home and am cutting meat, veggies, etc. Just lay the food on the cutting board and cut it to the right size. My fiance is a chef, and…
