Great job and Cassie is right about the progress pics!!!! Without them I wouldn't have realized a lot of progress. I am so proud of mine and you will be too!!! :D :D Keep up the great work and a little PATIENCE goes a long way! Thanks sandigirl! I will try the picture thing and see how that goes. I...

Simple answer is keep doing what you're doing. Expecting results you want after 1 month is farfetched, (said in the nicest possible way. You basically have lost half an inch of the thighs and lower core in one month, but you're expecting it to have been more than that. Had it been much more than th...

A half of an inch is pretty darn good progress. I'm sorry but I'm not going to recommend any "quick" plans to help you meet your goals. Quick plans... aka "quick fixes" don't work and only set you up to fail... which causes frustration... which often results in people quitting b...

absolute worst problem areas are huge hips and thighs. I have been working out for about a month now and haven't seen much of a difference. Perhaps a half inch from both. What can I do to loose the fat off of these areas quickly?? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

The main thing to remember is, protein shakes for Women aren't a specific thing. One or two people make these. One company I forget the name of, does one with some Pink on the label, then claims it has things in it like Folic Acid and Iron and Omega Fats, I think. Things like that and a few other s...

The "don't eat 2 hours before bed" thing is pure nonesense. I eat last meal right before bedtime and it has never affected me. Natty nut butter.... Natural nut butter. I prefer almond and peanut butter. Greek yogurt has some sugar in it but not as much as regular yogurt. I buy the plain l...

This is normally what I eat. 8:00 am- Oatmeal, or multigrain cheerios w/ non fat milk, and coffee w/ nonfat milk or sugar free hazelnut creamer, and splenda. 11:00 am- Salad with chicken or turkey and lots of veggies, piece of cheese. Or a turkey sandwich on Wheat or wrap. 2:00-3:00 pm- a piece of ...

Yes you should definitely eat protein with EVERY meal. How about making some simple changes such as: 8 am: 1/2 cup oats or cheerios with nonfat milk and 3 scrambled eggs 11am: salad w/ chicken or turkey, veggies, and cheese 2pm: piece of fruit, 11 almonds, 3-4 oz chicken,fish, turkey, lean beef, or ...

weight actually kept plateauing so I totally cut out diet DP to see what it did. I stopped having headaches and have not plateaued in weeks! I feel less bloated. I know that consuming the "fake" sugar is not good for you. Plus all the sodium in it isn't good either.

I have been reading a lot about protein and how much i need. I read that you should have 1 gram for every pound.. I'm 170 so the only way i'm going to consume 170 grams of protein is through shakes. I read that a lot of them cause gas and bloating. That is something I would like to highly avoid. Wha...

This is generally what I eat... Breakfast- Multigrain cheerios with skim milk or oatmeal and hard boiled egg. Sometimes whole wheat toast with sugar free jelly. Lunch- Salad w/ chicken and lots of veggies or Turkey sandwich. A spinach wrap with turkey and vegetables or a lean cuisine meal. Snack- Fr...

I'm 5'5 174lbs. I have seemed to quit dropping pounds. I have been good since January with eating better and for the past mth I have started exercising. I figured when I started that I would loose weight more quickly. I have lost about 30lbs so far. I have been at 174 since May 5th... Last week I we...

I normally do about 30-40 minutes of cardio each day and do weight lifting. I was told this doesn't help to tone.. So what can I do in order to tone? I mean I don't want to be some fugly body builder chic with huge muscles. Some definition would be great though! So is it okay to do weights? I'm only...

I have just started workout routine. I was made aware that I need to let muscles rest and work different ones everyday. How long are you supposed to let them rest for? I have been doing lower part of body every other day, and the upper part every other day. Will this be fine? being female I don't wa...
