I'm so glad to read that there are other people out there that feel the way I do. I am trying to lose about 70lbs and have no support at home which makes me feel extremely alone and lost. I hope to find more people like me that won't mind being a distant support system

im not over weight, but i see that i have grown some unwanted "love handles, bigger thighs & a yes belly pouch". Its not excessive, but iv noticed that when i put on my favorite jeans i have a muffin top & i tend to wear sweaters and hoodies to hide them. I really want to be comfortable wearing a normal shirt again & since summer is just around the corner i really want to feel "sexy" in my bikini. Any suggestions?

Hi Ashley there are two specific things you need to look at:
1. Your Diet
2. Your Workout Routines
if you cut out the small stuff such as sodas, chips, etc, you will see a loss in weight quickly, but implementing 5-6 small healthy meals daily will boost your metabolism up to burn fat more frequently. Add in a good combination of cardio (HIIT is great, do a search on fitbuddy below) and weight training (doesn't need to be heavy) and you will be able to tighten up those unwanted love handles, and belly pouch.
Depending on how your activity level is currently, you'll need to increase it. I would suggest trying out one of the free workouts on here. Click the "Exercise Program" at the top of this page to get started. GOOD LUCK!

---Yes, bananas and peanut butter are high in calories. Your shake should mainly be a protein source used immediately post work out.

Love this!!!
Found this article and thought I would share. :)
---------------------------
The following 10 tips to weight reduction don't involve buying expensive foods or hiring a personal trainer. Instead, they involve common sense.
Tip 1:
Choose activities that are fun. Exercise doesn't have to be a chore and the more fun it is, the more likely you are to stick with it.
Tip 2:
Variety is the spice of life! Don't just find one thing and stick to it... your guaranteed to get bored eventually. Find a couple different types of exercise that you enjoy (swimming, biking, weight training, yoga, group exercise classes, etc.) and mix it up!
Tip 3:
Keep a record of your activities. Set small "achievable" milestones and reward yourself periodically. Nothing motivates and keeps you going like success!
Tip 4:
Make it a lifestyle! Short-term diets and fitness kicks don't work. Lifestyle changes that become part of your normal routine are important for long-term success.
Watch the clock. Pick a time that's convenient and try to stick to it. If you get used to working out before work or walking during your lunch hour... you're more likely to stick with it.
Tip 5:
Don't be too hard on yourself. If you miss an exercise opportunity, try to work something else in rather than feeling down. If a lunch meeting interferes with your regular walk... go for a walk after dinner.
Tip 6:
Stay entertained. Music is a great motivator and can make exercise more fun. Mix your own CD's with your favorite music or books on tape and take them along when you're working out. Many people also like to watch TV or catch up on their soaps while on a treadmill. Whatever it takes to keep up with the program.
Tip 7:
Surround yourself with supportive people. Share your activity with others who want to see you succeed and will be encouraging. It may be a friend, family member, or neighbor, or US!
Tip 8:
Run with a co-worker over lunch or find a workout partner. If you're at the gym at the same time everyday, look for people that may have similar goals... since your schedules are the same, maybe he/she is looking for a workout partner?
Tip 9:
Slow and steady wins the race. Don't risk injury by pushing yourself too hard too quickly. Start with low to moderate level activities and gradually increase the duration and intensity of your workouts as you become more fit.
Tip 10:
But... don't get lazy! While pushing yourself too hard is bad... not doing enough is equally bad! There is a fine line between staying on a plateau and providing enough stimulus so your body will grow. You should gradually increase the amount of weight you lift, the length of your cardio exercise, etc. to keep you moving towards your goal. If your goal is overall fitness, you should work up to exercising three or four times per week for 30-60 minutes.

I lose weight when my sleep is right. I exercise at least 30 minutes a day and eat natural foods.

Many people underestimate the importance of sleep!!! It is most vital to a healthy, active life. Meditation at night before bed is a great way to unwind and fall into a peaceful sleep with you electronics around. (except that alarm clock to wake you in the morning.)
