Commented on Use Mindless Snacking to Lose Weight
I love all these varied opinions. I've tried it all and find what works best for me is having three calorie-controlled, balanced meals that add up to 1200-1400 calories per day, which includes a very small dessert. I love sweets...
Commented on Help Needed with Lemon Cleanse
A friend of mine is a jogger and in January, started noticing that she got tired after only running two miles - very unusual for her. Not only that but her tummy started to grow. She thought little of it....
Commented on Help Needed with Lemon Cleanse
I completely agree with the comments about the Master Cleanse. Don't do it!! I lost 14 pounds on it in 11 days and was ecstatic - until I started eating again and soon discovered that I had TOTALLY screwed up...
Commented on Shake Off Your Weight With a Vibration Plate Machine
I'm with you, Mandy. It's all about adopting a healthier lifestyle that promotes weight loss. I am done Yo-Yo dieting for good. Scale is going down now, and when it gets to where I want it to be, I will...
Commented on What are your Road Blocks?
Did anyone see this week's People magazine - the one with Kirstie Alley on the cover? Had a great photo of Mel B and her incredible new bod. She's amazing!! Article said she's on the very same food plan that...
Commented on Oprah's Weight Gain
Having lost and gained the same 25-30 pounds more times than I care to admit over the past 30 years, I understand Oprah's frustration, and how embarrassed she must feel when the pounds pile pack on. I lost 30 pounds...
Commented on Ban Junk Food From Vending Machines?
Yep, I totally agree with you there. I think the issue is not what's available in the vending machines, but that kids today get almost NO exercise. They sit in front of their computers and TVs and video games and...
Commented on Hugh Jackman's Wolverine Workout
Had to laugh when you said you were "too busy drooling." Right there with ya, sister!! Hugh is one gorgeous dude - especially when he's totally buffed and ripped like that. Woohoo!! A friend of mine used to work for...
Commented on 1200 Calorie Summer Day with your Girlfriends
That food all sounds amazing. Wish my friends would serve up eats like that when I was coming over!!...
Commented on Fat-Burning Supplement Warning
Very scary. So grateful I never took that product! I remember when people were giving themselves serious heart damage from too much fen-phen. Glad Iovate is pulling some of their Hydroxycut products off the shelves....
Commented on What are your Road Blocks?
Very inspiring. Lost 90 lbs and kept it off?! Woohoo! That's so awesome. I've lost weight so many times and never successfully kept it all off. Really plan to learn from my mistakes this time around....
Commented on What are your Road Blocks?
Thanks for that great tip. I know what triggers me and hadn't thought about having an alternate plan in place. That's an awesome idea!!...
Commented on What are your Road Blocks?
Thank you for your inspiring story and thought-provoking question. My biggest roadblock is emotional eating. I lost 30 pounds a couple years ago on this delicious fresh food delivery program called Freshology (then called Fresh Dining). I learned the importance...

Thanks for the reply. It is very hard when stress hits us. Good luck this time around and just keep in mind you can do it and you can keep it off. One suggestion if you haven't done this already learn your triggers, and plan for them by having a new habit lined up to replace food....
Spectra commented on What are your Road Blocks?
I lost a lot of weight too...90 lbs or so. I've kept it off for 7 years now and I know that there are definitely obstacles to overcome if you're going to be successful at it. One of my biggest things was learning how to stop lying to myself when it came to food. Let me explain: I was trying to lose weight and yet I still liked ice cream. I tried to tell myself that if I ate "fat free" ice cream, it was somehow okay, even if I ate a pint of it at a time. And it...
tnc commented on Help Needed with Lemon Cleanse
That's a great book to read. But don't try that yourself. Start using: green tea, turmeric, ginger, fenugreek, garlic, noni, acai, mangosteen, Don't leave out the seaweed comlplex or kelp caps - highest quality only (no plates of seaweed, the fiber is too tough), all in veg caps, no dcp or mag stearate as additives, yaeyama chlorella tabs, and nsi or better probiotics complex. Use hoodia as a safe and effective appetite suppressant. Green tea has a similar but milder effect. Drink more water with these two. Take ashwaghanda for all around stress. Just read up on all the herbs...

The kelp or seaweed complex caps help to balance this out. Don't use alot of seaweed unless it's tough fiber has been removed or broken down by some process. The amount of seaweed in the caps is ok, even with the fiber....
SueK24 commented on Use Mindless Snacking to Lose Weight
I agree with Arlo. I've been following the Zone diet and lifestyle for about 15 years. It's based on hormonal control and lowering inflammation. This is achieved in the Zone by eating a balance of lean protein (animal or veggie), carb (mostly from fruits and veggies, and a dash of monounsaturated fat at every meal and snack. This provides satiety throughout the entire day, plus a constant supply of the macronutrients the body needs to function at its best and stay lean at the same time. It's inherently a calorie restricted way of eating without needing to place your focus...
