The / is my "or" sign. So I eat for breakfast bagel w/cream cheese OR oatmeal with brown sugar and almonds OR Carnation instant breakfast drink with some dry cereal. Lunch is either leftovers from dinner the night before OR tomato soup made with milk OR ham sandwich with chips and a pop OR tuna salad with mayo, mustard, and spices. I think the longer workout on Friday and Sunday would be great...except my darling husband doesn't enjoy the gym. He has a hard time keeping his mind occupied when he's on the treadmill or elliptical. It's funny because there are lots of cute women there, so I would have thought that they would have kept his mind occupied. I do think the long workout on Friday will definitely work. My husband works swing shift so I can go when he leaves for work and spend some quality time there. I can see where I need to tweak what I am eating though. No pop or chips is a good start.

Keep pushing your fitness and also look for ways to cut additional calories. Smaller portions is one way. Brown rice is not really bad, it is just a matter of not eating too many calories. Snack bars are not unhealthy, but they do add to your daily calories. Hi Stephanie, sounds like you are making great progress.

As you get fitter you can work harder and burn more fat. For diet, reduce calories, try to eat a well balanced diet, eat more pulses, nuts and seeds for the proteins and do not rely too heavily on cheese and breads.

I used to weigh 145lbs and now I weigh 130, and I am 5'1. My target goal weight was 135 but now I see that I am still losing more weight. I exercise 4 times weekly, and do intensive cardio workouts after each session. I reduced my calorie intake, eliminated fruit drinks, and tried eating more protein like lean meats, eggs, etc. but I still would eat bread but whole grain, or brown rice, or whole wheat pasta but I always measured portions. Iv'e noticed a big difference in my stomach, but I still have that lower pouch. Should I eliminate the rice, and bread completely even if it is whole grain or brown rice. And what would you say is a reasonable consumption of sugar for a person of my weight and height, because I have reduced my consumption of sugar tremendously but I don't know if I should take it a step further. Are diet snack bars bad for you also? For example Special K granola Bars? Thank You Hello,

She gave birth just a few weeks ago and has already got back into excellent shape. Of course, she is very used to doing daily workouts and knows exactly what she needs to do to be in shape. Being in good shape after birth is actually natural, unfortunately many women do no exercise at all during pregnancy or for a long time after giving birth. Beyonce was looking great today.

What is most important is to monitor your progress and adjust calorie intake and exercise in response to changes. If you start to gain fat you should be able to spot this immediately if you are paying attention and take action to rectify.

Regular cardio should help keep the fat down. Sttan, if you are working your lower body hard take the normal amount, but be careful with the rest of your diet.

Maybe try to do 2 long workouts on the Fridays and Sundays - if you can do them with your partner you still get to spend time together. Really you need to get more active and restrict the eating.

Depends partly on your age, but on days you are exercising hard then you need to have around 2000 Calories. See the charts above.

Do you mean you find it hard to find the time to follow the plan, or the exercise is hard? If that latter, then you just need to keep working.
