Soda, now that you are home, you will be back on track with your eating, so hopefully you will lose the weight. It's very hard to watch what you eat on a vacation,
I gained 5 pounds since last...

GA, Congratulations on losing some weight.
Brooke; I don't want to jinx myself either, but I haven't been sick at all either & I don't take any vitamins or calcium, or anything....I think the key...

Be very careful with your intake of calcium..I was also told to take calcium to prevent bone loss...Well, that is until I was in excruciating pain. The cause was linked to kidney stones caused by...

Most multivitamins are useless. They don't have enough of any of the vitamins or minerals to make a difference. If you eat right, you don't need to take any vitamins.

Zelda, I would say stay away from them. I think they have a very high level of caffine that can be dangerous! Coffee should be enough to keep you going!

Soda, when I saw you in Sept. you looked like you don't need to lose more weight. You looked great!!! I think when your body reaches a point where there isn't much to lose it just will settle there....

I use a mix Cajun Spice that I found & it's just great on any vegetable, or chicken or even eggs. It has Chili, Cayenne, Bay Leaves, Onion, Paprika, salt & garlic. It just makes anything tasty, even...

PM, Congratulations, You are doing great on this program!! It's hard to follow a plan 100%, but you are sticking with it very well!
Continued success! :thumbsup:

I haven't eaten white bread for years. I am giving up ALL bread, even whole wheat. I really think the carbs are what is keeping me from losing the weight.
Hanging in there.

I'm finding a new...

I wish I could eat tons of veggies & give up meat & dairy, but I do like chicken & dairy. This diet wouldn't work for me. I am giving up bread & that seems to be working out OK. I only have a piece...

I looked at that book online, but I honestly don't think I can handle a diet like that. It seems to be a vegan diet & I know that is not for me. I know it is much healthier but I Know i couldn't do...

I know, everyone keeps telling me that I am gaining muscle, & I do feel stronger, but the other answers, would be NO. My clothing fits the same, I do not feel much better, & I am really tired when I...

Soda, thanks for posting all your experiences because it is a lesson we can all learn from. I never starve myself, but I am having so much trouble losing any weight at all. I only have about 10...

Well, I forced myself to the gym today for a good 2 hour workout. I'm Ok once I get there, it's just the thought of going that I have the problem with. I can easily talk myself out of going...I...

I know how hard it is to stay motivated. I used to have friends that I would go to the gym with, but now my friends don't really live nearby & go to different gyms and live far away. It's always more...

Lizzy, I can relate to a lot of what you're going through. When I stopped smoking, I quickly gained 15 pounds, & I was not a happy camper. I had always been very skinny, only 95 pounds, but I am only...

Well, I have been a little slack on my workout schedule, as I just couldn't seem to fit in getting to my gym. I also hurt my back & couldn't go for a few days in a row. I don't have a scale in my...

OK Mrs Frey, I will describe as best I can. I use light hand weights of 2 pounds.
I started with these 3 exercises;

1) Stand with legs a bit apart, Cross your left leg behind you & go into a deep...

Thanks all. I think what really helped was doing a longer cardio workout.

Oh, here's something funny. One night when I was up at an odd hour, with my insomnia, I saw that infomercial for the...

Well, my working out is finally starting to pay off. I lost 8 pounds. I upped my eliptical workout from 30 minutes to 45 minutes & I can burn about 350 calories in that time. Then I do 1/2 hr. of...

I did think about that, but I have heard they aren't really that accurate. Also I feel like it will be one more "gadget" that I have to carry around.

Took my first ZUMBA class yesterday...It was so much fun. It was an hour class. I thought I was gonna collapse, but I highly recommend it...Lots of fun even though it's tough. I'm hoping I burned...

WOW, Soda, I'm impressed. CONGRATULATIONS!!!! That's fantastic.
Maybe that will help encourage me to stay on track....I only want to lose 10 pounds, but it's still hard for me..

Yeah, well Glenn's got that one right!

Well, I made it to the gym today. I find that once I'm there, I'm OK, but it's just the thought of going that gets to me. When I'm in the gym, I usually do 1/2 hour or more of weights & then 1/2 hr....
