Howdy, ladies!!
I finally read this thread and wanted to see how those of you doing the pilates are progressing.
I have a Pilates Performer machine, box and pole, magic ring, and ball, and let me tell you... when I was doing it (and mind you I was doing a work out twice a day) I looked better than I ever had in my life. I've never had a major weight issue. Well, actually, I had trouble being too thin (eating disorder related) and I think for me the feeling "fit" was the major issue. I would lose TOO MUCH weight in a short amount of time and then just felt kinda "flabby" with my skin not feeling as taut.
Pilates will help your body look better and will make you stronger and sleeker.
I was away from doing it for some time, but I just got back on track and it's doing wonders.
Whatever you do, please be safe (so many diets can mess us up---there are unhealthy ones out there). There really is no "quick" answer that will keep you healthy.
Best to you all!! k

LADIES LADIES LADIES!
Go to the book store right now and buy Bob Green's Total Body Makeover. ITS NOT A DIET. I finished the book and im going to be starting his program shortly. He teaches you how to control emotional eating. SO basically you use your own judgement when eating. But he emphasizes the importance of exercise. I love it. I feel so great I cant wait to start!
Im telling you, if there was ever any adivce i would give you, it is BUY THIS BOOK!!!!

here's another advice article i found about dieting and BBQs: from herehope this helps!!! also, i found out about something called the Binge Buster...it's an oral spray that you spray whenever you feel like snacking mindlessly and it curves your appetite for up to two hours per use...anyone else heard of this or tried it before? if you have, please let me know where you bought it and how much it was...if you order online, it's like $40, which, for me, is a little pricey

;D Yes!! If you want to send me $10, I can order you one. My Avon lady is new and so she should adore you! But, you probably don't live in the U.S. do you? Probably another country?? That makes it hard. I haven't tried it myself, nor do I know anyone who has tried it.

since late march, i've lost 30 lbs by drinking only lemonade all day and walking...that's my exact plan! some might think that this isnt exactly that healthy, but it is...it rejuvinated the body and cleanses all the bad stuff out, which it has! since i've been on this "diet" my skin became clearer and i've had more energy than ever before!
it does take a day or two to get used to, which are always tough, but i always nibble on peanuts or apple slices during that day (something healthy, not bread lol) and i always have at least three fruit juice popsicles and one fudge popsicle during the day and i still managed to lose 30+ lbs
i dunno, if u still want any more explanation for this, PM me questions and i'll answer them...all i have to say for this "diet" is you need a heck of a lot of willpower to go thorugh the first three days...they are the most tempting

Ok, I am bumping this thread because I have great news. ![???](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b124/thewilsons20/Emoticons%20-%20Main/fluffy.gif) Some of you remember my issues before my trip to L.A. last summer and wanting to lose weight. Well I lost weight, but of course put it right back on after returning. About three weeks ago, my friend and I started Weight Watchers together. I am happy to say that I have lost 16 lbs so far!! I am drinking more water, and exercising twice a week. ![:-X](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b124/thewilsons20/Emoticons%20-%20Main/shock.gif) Next week I will make myself go to three times a week. ![:-*](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b124/thewilsons20/Emoticons%20-%20Main/jumpingjacks.gif)

Wow! 16 lbs in 3 weeks! I've never been able to do that, no matter what I did.
Congratulations, LL! Weigh to go!.... so to speak.
