OUR CONTESTANTS TIPS AND SUCCESS STORIES

DATE FROM TIPS OR SUCCESS STORIES
12/31/15 Captain Marvel According to experts in a recent study, drinking just 2 cups of water, which is smaller than the size of a bottled soda, before meals can help you lose an extra five pounds yearly and will help maintain your weight loss.
1/6/16 Hungry Grandma It is important to make time for yourself. I have been taking organ lessons which I enjoy. I found myself watching less tv while I have fun practicing playing a new song.
1/9/16 Irisheyes1952 I am using the My Fitness Pal to track calories and exercise...
1/9/16 Captain Marvel

This winter, walking when the weather's nice is a super-easy way to keep fit. Even when she's short on time, go out for a few minutes. Even a five minute walk is a five minute walk. No sidewalks in your neighborhood? Try these tips: •Park your car at the back of the lot. •Get out of the office building and enjoy walking meetings. •Shovel the drive or rake the leaves instead of using a snow-blower or leaf-blower. •Get off the bus a few stops earlier. •Hike the mall, being sure to hit all the levels. •Take the stairs every chance you get. •Sign up for charity walks. •Crank the music and get your heart rate up the next time you mop or vacuum.

1/9/16 Captain Marvel Well, I spent most of the first 10 days on vacation, including a Caribbean cruise. Margaret and I had a great time. Luckily, with all the walking and exploring we did, all the great food on board didn’t hurt as much as it could have had we not.
1/9/16 SquatzAndOatz Don't skip leg day
1/14/16 Hungry Grandma Try to include vegetables in your favorite dishes, such as mushrooms, green and red peppers, and onions in your spaghetti sauce.
1/18/16 Captain Marvel Make only one meal. Instead of making something high-cal for the family and low-cal for yourself, get everyone on the same healthy-eating page. Weight loss is easier when everyone's eating the same thing -- and you're not tempted to taste someone else's high-cal food.
1/19/16 Irisheyes1952 I am drinking more water instead of juices and diet soda.
1/19/16 Scrotch If you're overweight, you should try to eat less, in order to lose weight.......
1/28/16 Hungry Grandma I have been trying to eat more fish and shellfish and less red meat.
1/28/16 Captain Marvel Be patient! While it’s hard keeping a healthy diet and maybe not seeing the results you hoped for on the scale, hang in there. Your healthier choices and habits will start to show, and then you’ll be happy you were patient and persistent. It also may help to know that keeping the weight off generally gets easier over time. Maintaining that weight that you do lose takes less effort as time goes on.
1/29/16 2legit2fit Slow and steady! Add veggies at each meal and snack and reduce your carbs serving size. Keep working on protein with each meal!
