Day 3 tip- What in the world are you eating? Look at it, taste it, note the texture, color, flavor, slow down.....NO more mindless eating. I have a new mantra- the first taste is the same as the last, so I really don't need more. I been losing more because I refuse to eat in front of the tv, when I do mindless eating…

oooh that does sound good, I know I have to down size all my recipes since its usually just for 2-3 people. LOL Still have a 5 Qt crock pot ...downsizing is a challenge in all aspects of life!

HA ha, well its back, and more walking in snow and cold...that shivering has to burn more calories, if anything we do walk faster in the cold.

Another Tip, and good news it is free.... drink water Drink herbal tea, drink first waking up and through out the day. Ever watch the biggest loser TV show? Well they are always drinking water. Benefits of water-flush toxins out Your skin will be amazing...... drink up and look younger

FYI lost 5 pounds this week, the big thing is eating right and journaling. The vitamins helped reduce stress, I feel like I finally found the missing link.

Muscle will weigh more than fat. be kind to yourself your working out is a huge positive. is it that time of the month? Hormones can make you retain water. Watch out for diet soda! Lots of sodium Breakfast, include protein eggs or smoothie Good luck, don't be discouraged

Best thing is it is only 200 calories wo cheese and tortilla. And I usually just take a few chips for a topper so not much more! Thanks missionfittness

Do you have a under active thyroid? Ask your doctor if you can have it checked. Woman tend to carry more stress, and stress creates cortisol hormone and it makes you retain fat cells. I would continue to journal. See your doctor to make sure its not your thyroid. Try to eliminate stress by yoga and deep breathing Rules for…

Menopause is tough one, we have to be diligent with keeping track of food and finding energy to work out.

I like a fudge bar- about 100 calories, satisfies that chocolate cravings and nice and cold like ice cream. Eat it where you can savor it, avoid mindless eating.

Maybe your not eating enough, the body will go into starvation mode then store fat instead of burn it. Increase water intake, watch diet sodas and salty foods for retaining water. Never hurts to check out your thyroid. I have hypothyroidism and it is tough to lose...it takes effort and lots of exercise.

Body media Fit, is that the name of it? Where can I get one? I usually struggle calculating my activity.this sounds like something I could benefit from. Do you think Walmart or Target carry it? What did you pay for it?

I call it mindless eating, the tv or movie binge. I am new to this, how does a group work? And I think those who walk similiar paths find comfort in knowing they aren't alone and some may have successful tips to share.
