Hi to all..this is my first post and a topic near and dear to my heart.  I am 56 years young and having enjoyed a career as a certified fitness trainer, I have finally given up "diets"....I am also a nurse and picked up very unhealthy eating habits when I returned to nursing while still working as a trainer---2003.  On August 29, 2005, my whole world turned upside down when Hurricane Katrina struck.  The gym where I trained my clients, and the hospital where I worked in the  Cancer ctr as an infusion/chemo nurse both ceased to exist.   I had to start over and chose nursing as a full-time career.....but let me go back to my intention of this post.
I am learning to eat only when I am hungry---but no restrictions--I am eating whatever I feel like eating and learning to love and celebrate my body as is.  I do exercise at least 5 days a week and did my first "Carribean style" dance class today--what a hoot!  Eventually, I think my body will get sick of some of the "unhealthy" choices I have selected over more nutritious ones.  For me, allowing anything I want makes me feel calmer--I don't have to eat something "fun" as if it's the last time I'll ever have a chance to indulge.  I'll keep you posted if interested.
For me, no forbiddens is psychologically healthier--I'm already craving less fatty and sugary stuff.  My health is my priority and I monitor BP, lipid profile, etc. faithfully.  Let me know what is working for you!

I would love to chat with you. A friend of mine gave me her home weight machine. It is awesome but I have no clue on using it. I want to tone and firm but  not turn into a muscle woman.

Working out takes a lot of decipline but it all helps out in the end tho

Same here! I lost about 60 lbs on a low carb diet a few years back. I recently found out that I have a gluten allergy! Which is why the low carb diet worked so well for me. Now I'm trying to stick to a low gluten diet. I've only lost about 9 lbs....but my brain fog has cleared, i have more energy, and I just feel better! it's really hard to stick to, but I just try to remember how awful I felt before...and that usually helps me stick to it!

I am currently following the workout i learned from my basketball coach. It consists 5 sets. Each set contains 40 sit-ups, 35 push-ups(military style) 35 declined push-ups(regular), 50 mountain climbers(military style). After that we run about 3.5 miles.

Sounds more like bootcamp! Hee hee

What is a Carribean style workout? Sure sounds different.

I got the Wii Jenny Mccarthy workout, but I haven't tried it yet, since I was able to walk again more.

The best way to diet is to walk about 1-2 miles every day and eat a high protein diet.  At least that's what my dad did and he lost TONS of weight and it was the healthy way...he didn't use drugs to help.

I am losing weight with Weight Watchers and love the program, but no I don't do workouts. Do some walker expect to do more now that the weather is getting nicer.

I'm dieting and working out. I have lost 45 lbs since last May. I'm a male, 5' 6" and I started around 190, and now I'm 145-149 depending on the day. :-)

Eat right, and exercise a little.... you'll be healthy. It's so easy!
