 | Hi, Melkuyk. It looks like your body really needs the exercise, and your body type requires something beyond cardio. I recommend working other muscles, e.g., through sit-ups, light weight-lifting, and repetititve use of stairs. Below are links to some ideas to get you started: |
 | No, not really. I have been trying to eat healthier for awhile now, but but not this. Also, I get a little exercise, I do at least 5000 steps a day, but our treadmill broke so I haven’t done as much as I should. I weighed yesterday and I had gained another 2lb and it is actually 1 lb more than when I started. I am really trying, but must be doing something wrong. |

| | I started this hoping it would make a difference, BUT… My husband lost 6 pounds in the first week and I gained 2. I give up! I tried cutting back because it is just too much or only eating part of a snack. like the orange and not the graham crackers, etc. Still nothing! |
