As of January 1, 2009, my family and I decided to eat healthier,not neccessarily diet, lose some weight and tone up along the way.   Here came Weight Watchers! Although not especially easy the first 2 weeks or so, as of this date (jan.25), it's much easier. Don't get me wrong, I still crave certain items, but it's easier to say no as long as I have some heal...

I joined WeightWatchers.com 3 months ago.  I was ready to start losing a little weight and this is one of the 3 programs you hear about most often.  Unfortunately it didn't work as well for me as I would have liked but that is mostly my fault rather than the program (darn it!).I joined under the POINTS program.  Everything you eat you track and roughly every 100 calories is a...

I absolutely love projectweightloss.com!  I was looking for a weight loss web site and I didn't want to pay fees to join; I found this weight loss community, called projectweightloss.com, where they have a ton of weight loss tools, and it's all free.  they calculate for me how many calories i need to eat to lose weight, and then i can plan my own meals and they calculate how...

I have joined this weight loss plan after trying on my own , I just needed that extra support that was ONE on ONE. The program is really good it teaches you how to eat properly and portion control. there are premade meals BUT they are not required to be bought. they do have a program that includes bars and if you do that program you get some money back when meeting your goal. the bars are for t...

After I had my second child, I needed a weight loss plan that would not interfere with my breastfeeding her (some diets are very strict which can decrease your milk supply). My friend suggested doing Weight Watchers, as they have a specific diet plan for nursing women. My friend gave me her extra "points" and tips book and her "points" calculator tool. This diet plan is...

Firstly, this Alli weight loss product is only available through a pharmacy to overweight people (bmi over 25). The reason this product is contolled like this is because there is clinical evidence that this drug works. In fact it is a lower dose of orlistat - a drug which is available on prescription only for the obese. All very encouraging. The drug works preventing the body from breaking down...

It contains 45% less fat than the IAMS original formula, and it has natural fibers that help to get the ingested hair through the cat's digestive system. Also added are fish oils that are good for the cat's skin and coat.I had started buying this cat food when I saw that my two cats needed some help to cont...

I love to swim but really can't stand "aerobics". Step classes make me twitch. I'm mildly uncoordinated - the instructor says Left and I go Right, that sort of thing. In June 2006, I realized I needed to start a concerted effort to exercise to maintain my health. I floundered around for a while trying to find the "right" exercise for me. I finally found Bodies In Mot...

The Cap Weight bench is a simple, flat weight bench for use with home exercise equipment like free weights. The bench was purchased a few years back and has gotten quite a bit of use out of it from myself. I can admit to one very evident thing with the bench...it is simple. There is no incline, no extra to it-it is just a flat bench with padding in four legs. It does not have attachments f...

I was a little overweight by about 10 kilograms. So last year I joined a weight loss program where you don't have to do any workout, yet loose weight by burning fat and therapy. The pricing was high as they said the machines used in the programs are expensive and the entire procedure requires expert staff. I joined the program despite the high pricing. In the first month there was dras...

I like for my arms to be free from flab, but not muscular. This led me to look for smaller weights that I could use to tone my arms. After shopping at a few places, I found that Walmart had 5 pound weights for less than $3 each. But, would these weights be right for my workout style?The good thing about these weights is that they were cheap. They do work well with my workout, but I don't ca...

This weight set, made be Definity, is the perfect simple set of weights to add resistance and a little edge to any workout. I have used these to help rehab people that need resistance without heavy amounts of weight. These 3 pairs of weights range in 3, 5 and 8 pound sizes. The weights are color-coded and have the numbers written large on the side. They are stored on a simple little rack for us...

I bought a pair of Nike ankle weights to get more out of my walks. A friend of mine uses them and has seen great results so I figured; I'd give them a try too. Why Wear Ankle Weights?The great thing about ankle weights is that they let you exercise while you are just walking around! You can strengthen your legs and your bottom by just wearing them while doing everyday thing like spending ti...

I purchased Valeo Fitness Gear 2lb wrist weights because I was looking for something to enhance my workouts. I currently do Turbo Jam as well as the Aerobic exercise on Wii Fit. I wanted to begin to get a better workout by adding weights. I saw these weights while shopping in Winners on day and at $7.99 (original price was $13.00), I couldn't pass them up! First of all the weights are 2lbs ...

You can pick these up at Vons, they're the store brand, comparable to SlimFast.  In my opinion, they're just as good as the "real thing".  SlimFast might be just a bit richer than these, but for the price, the taste cannot be beat!They come in a variety of flavors.  I believe there are two different kinds of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry.  So, not quit...

Honestly, they should just be upfront and tell you that these are marshmallow flavored, because that's what they are.  Chocolate?  I got very little of that particular taste out of these.That said, it's an acquired taste I suppose, and if you like marshmallow (like I do) and you're prepared for that fact, they're not THAT bad.  If chocolate is what you're hopi...

Getting into shape is something I have tried on and off for years. I find something to interest me and then jump in with both feet and stay motivated until something happens to take me out of my routine. Then, the routine ends. This is a common pattern in my life.Last year, I started back on my routine with a new recumbent bike. I'd ride the bike for whatever my goal was, then get on the fl...

It has adjustable straps that snap together and offer a comfortable fit. It even has a little pocket for an MP3 playe...

I use Iams Weight Control Cat Food for the chubby girl in our cat family. I love all of Iams products and use different ones for differnt cats depending on their individual needs. Our chubby girl, Pun Pun, needs a lot of weight control, lol. She is quite over weight and the vet suggested that she needs to trim down. I got Iams for her and it is working slowly to reduce her weight. I love the wa...

Purchasing dumbells is a hard and technical process. There are two things you have to look for and consider. One, what weight do you want, two) should I instead just join a gym even though I only want stronger biceps. Joining a gym is hardly worth it, it's around $30 a month and facts show that the  average person would buy a gym membership and use the gyn twice a month. If you buy the...
