WEIGHT LOSS IS SUCH A STRUGGLE FOR ME

A nice workout to add to your walking is Core Secrets. It is an exercise ball workout. It is fun and low impact. Another plus, the ball is a fun toy for the little ones when you are not exercising on it :o)

I have always watched my weight because my mother was always on a diet while I was growing up. Now that I've learned more, I realize that diets don't work because we go on diets and we go off diets. There is a great recorded webcast with a doctor that explains why we have a hard time losing weight and what to do about it. I have now helped others lose significant amounts of weight and have found a way to control my weight without constantly denying myself the foods I love. Take a look at the science of what's going on in your body at www.resetlive.com. If you want more information, such as a list of desirable foods and good meals and snacks, send me an email at iamhere2@cox.net.

In addition to tapes, my mom told me about this interval training that has really worked for me! It's super easy and it only takes 20-25 minutes and you only do it three times per week. You start with a 2 - 2 1/2 min walk (not real fast) as a warm up, then you follow it by a 30 second all-out walk as fast as you possibly can, then another 2 minute slower paced walk and repeat the 30 second intervals 8 times total, then end with another 2 - 2 1/2 minute cool down. You can also do this with running, but I find that too difficult, at least just starting out! I combine this with workout DVDs and I've finally lost some weight. Make sure you leave at least one day rest in between your interval training so your body can recover. I also kept a calorie log. I was surprised at how many calories I was really eating!!! Hope this helps, good luck!

Hi Tesa, glad to hear your feeling better.So far I've lost 1/2 a pound. I was doing really well and dropped 6 pounds but then put them back on.It's deressing...I do love to walk but the weather has been cold lately here.It snowed on Friday.I know I'd feel so much better if I lost the extra weight but I love chocolate,I wish that I had a freind here to walk with and made me do it even if I was tired.I guess I'm the only one here that needs to lose weight. lol Well today I have tons of housework to do as soon as I getff here, so that maybe a work out in it self.Chat later.And take care...drink orange juice.OH YA I smoke and drink coffee so your already in better shape than me.Have a good one.

Hi Wendy, just wanted to say that you are very pretty by your picture. Tesa hasn't been on yet, I keep checking for a responds from her. I work at the Leduc Hospital in Alberta and A lady that works there told me to cut out bread and dairy products and ofcorse my junk food.I love chocolate.I figure if I could just cut out the junk food, I'd probably lose 10 pounds easy.But it's easier said than done.My biggest problem is I have no one close to me that wants too lose weight and do it together.I need a push every now and then.Hope to chat again.
