Thanks..I will try that new diet plan..except the oatmeal. I don't like plain oatmeal, so I might just drop it all together. And I am going to try really hard to quit the pepsi. I had quit drinking it for the first month, but I think I got stressed and then got to drinking it again. I also like gree...

Workout: 4am (I try to eat a piece of string cheese before working out) Breakfast: 6am 5-7 egg whites with salsa, (either a packet of oatmeal or mini wheats), apple, water Snack 1: 9:30am String cheese, grapes, 10 almonds Lunch: 11:30am Chicken breast with Tabasco sauce, peas, yogurt or fruit Snack...

I wondered the same thing about the bike thinking since I was sitting I wouldn’t get as good of results as I would with a treadmill. I don’t know about the regular bike but I have been using the spinning bike at the gym for the past month and it has really been wow on toning. I can feel it really wo...

I started working out every day and dieting on August 10. I have lost 20 pounds since then. I hit a mini-plateau about 1 month ago where I had 1 week of no weight change, but thankfully I had found a post from Cassie and she had advised on a lean protein, complex carb, healthy fat diet and I changed...

Yes..that makes perfect sense...I will try that. Thanks again for all your help!

But really you are the one who made not just day but week! I think you are really informed and I am so thankful that you are sharing your knowledge. The food journal is a huge help…I have tried with the diet tracker on here and it is great, but sometimes if I don’t enter it right away I forget so I ...

Cassie- Thanks so much for providing the diet guideline earlier in this post. I have been doing fairly well. I started at 210 on August 10 working out every day and trying to change eating habits. I did great the first 2 weeks and lost 10 pounds..but I think it was mainly because I didn’t eat any f...

Soda was big clutch…but I decided I was tired of being 210 pounds so on August 10 I went from about 4 sodas a day to 0 the first two weeks and had 1 per day on the weekends. It was very hard, but I just drank lots of green tea and pictured myself at goal weight in mind every time I wanted a soda. I ...

I am by far no expert but I have found some help from these forums myself and I have lost 15 pounds since August 10. first two weeks I dropped 10 pounds, but I also cut out pepsi and went to drinking green tea. Green tea is excellent. I hit a big plateau on week 3 where I gained 3 pounds and didn’t ...

Thanks...I will try to add more protein..and lighter on the pasta. I really appreciate your help

hat does your diet look like? Weight loss is about 75% diet and 25% exercise. You can't outtrain a bad diet. Post an example of a typical day for you so we can help make suggestions there. Well…this is a typical day. 2 pieces Cinnamon toast with an apple or peach. Then strawberries for mid morning s...

You might try a 5-10 minute bike warm up before running or treadmill. I was having terrible ankle pain and then calves tightening up when doing HIIT on the treadmill. Today I rode the bike 7 minutes before the treadmill and it wasn't until about 25 minutes on the treadmill, ankle started to hurt...b...

Thanks again everyone for be so friendly and giving me some useful suggestions. I am going to stop the fat burner. I think maybe I need to keep working on diet because I have no idea on what I am really doing there except for what I read. I know to reprogram myself into eating the 6 small meals will...

Thanks for the welcome and advice. You might be right about the 10 pounds being from no longer drinking pop. I was a moderate pop drinker. I guess I forgot to mention that I have been taking a weight loss supplement BurnX…it really helps speed up heart rate for workouts. I forgot to take it one day ...

I have been working out on the elliptical since two weeks ago from Monday and I lost 10 pounds. I have been using the elliptical everyday for 30-45 minutes (3-3.5 miles). I started adding about 15 minutes of weight training starting this Monday and I gained 2 pounds back then, 1 more yesterday and s...
