Really could use some accountability FRIENDS for this long journey!
Hi All, I've done the same after each baby and after reaching each goal. I gain at least 10-20 pounds back and feel like a failure. I want to continue staying on this journey but I find when I don't have fellow "journeyers" alongside me it's so much easier to fail. Would anyone like to join me? I'm 35 years old with 3…

Looking into LIPO for trouble spot...Anyone else?
Second child left me with a flabby stomach and no matter what AB and CORE work I do, it doesn't shrink or burn. Has anyone tried (as a last resort) a Mommy Makeover or liposuction (Tummy Tuck)? If you have, what results are you left with? Recooping? Did it work to take this stubborn fat away? I'm not giving up on the…

What is a good base for a veggie shake?
I LOVE fruit shakes with yogurt as the base and, of course, a scoop of protein powder (chocolate or vanilla) with 2 oz of orange juice. What I want to do now is have a fruit shake in the morning , a normal lunch, and a veggie shake for supper. I don't think I'd enjoy yogurt as the base for the veggie shake...does anyone…

Clear alcoholic beverages...ok?
I was told froma "friend" that some clear alcoholic beverages are better by the way of calories and won't do as much damage to weight loss as beer (German hefeweizen, my absolute favorite! Boo hoo!), fruity drinks (pommegranate martinis, another fave), and whiskey shots (my Jim Beam Yum!). Any help? I pretty much stoppped…

What do you eat/drink before a good workout?
I would like to see what people who work out at least 5-6 times a week eat/drink before a good (1-2 hour) workout. I'm looking for what keeps you full and pumps you full of energy to last through a workout routine. I've been doing my 2 cups water, coffee, oatmeal, or coffee, fruit and yogurt. Tomorrow I'll be trying…

Protein shakes? Need them or lose them?
I am borderline diabetic right now and consuming 1,200 calories per day plus exercise everyday. I still feel hungry most of the time and I slam at least 9-10 8 oz. glasses of water in a day. I'm doing everything my nutritionist told me to do and I still feel weak and crappy with not much balance. Will protein shakes help…
