I'm interested in doing it eventually. I'm hoping my husband will try it too. We have myriad nagging aches and pains between the two of us. <br /><br />WRT Slim In Six, you can do Start It Up! for several days if necessary. Progress to Ramp It Up! when you're comfortable. Burn It Up! will give you a good workout. You'd like Hip Hop Abs if you like dance-y workouts. It just lurve Shaun T :) I should own stock in Beachbody, lol.<br /><br />Stopping by from #SITSSharefest.

I can't just eat something because it's dietetic (never heard of that word before). If I don't like something I just can't force myself to eat it. That's why I like this Weight Watchers program...you eat what you want; it's all about portion control.<br /><br />I would take someone else's vacation though just to be somewhere different LOL.Cassi Schmigotzkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09193282518218220323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1446291289204755411.post-47147045876269019282013-07-10T22:25:48.326-04:002013-07-10T22:25:48.326-04:00Cassi -- I admire you for your journey. My weight ...Cassi -- I admire you for your journey. My weight has been up and down all my life. I reached my highest weight during my husband's long illness -- turned to food for comfort and zipped up to my greatest weight. I lost 40 pounds 2-1/2 years ago and it's something I have to watch constantly. My advice is not to think you're on a diet and once you reach your goal you can go back to your old way of eating and living. <br /><br />Find the foods you like -- NEVER eat anything you don't like because it's dietetic. Years ago I always ate a can of tuna fish for lunch. Didn't like it but did it. Now I never eat tuna fish. I've learned that you've got to do what works for you. Don't go on someone else's diet. Just like you wouldn't take someone else's vacation. Ask for our advice and then do what works for you. I really can't emphasize that enough. <br /><br />Congratulations on your progress so far -- and good luck on the rest of your journey.Jeannette Paladinohttp://writespeaksell.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1446291289204755411.post-67743965239368373482013-07-10T22:07:27.079-04:002013-07-10T22:07:27.079-04:00You could give the German names and I could ask Be...You could give the German names and I could ask Benny about them, as he's from Berlin.

I use the The Bar Method for a workout because it doesn't rip at my joints. No matter what diet there is out there, it boils down to you have to burn more calories you take in. This needs to become a lifestyle or it will never stay off.Arleenhttp://www.garrettspecialties.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1446291289204755411.post-31525800024070752882013-07-10T19:11:25.550-04:002013-07-10T19:11:25.550-04:00It's inspiring that you're trying so many ...It's inspiring that you're trying so many programs.

There are so many other enjoyable ones - rocket for example, add some raw spinach (just like lettuce). I won't mention many more as I only know the German names!! curse of living here and discovering lettuce. Do you add any oil and balsamic vinegar? I know the idea is "no fat" but seriously no sugar is a bigger issue.

I'm not sure if yoga can help with weight loss but I can guarantee you that it helps with pain and helps balance your body and remove tightness in every muscle - the key though is to start with a small GENTLE yoga class and find a teacher who is willing to work one-on-one with you. Avoid by all means the gym yoga classes and hot yoga!
