MemberHi everyone! I’ve started incorporating the Kettle Bell as my exercise! It’s low impact on your joints, works on your core strength (you can really feel it in your gut!) and it’s easy & fun to do. I just turn on some music & kind of dance with the bell! I suggest no more than 10 lbs, 5 to 7 lbs to start, they come in different weights. Definitely a good way to get moving!

MemberHi there. My name is chris and I just started. I’m originally from England now living in Canada. I need to lose 50 pounds. I’m hoping to combine this way of eating with my weight watchers point plus program. I don’t know how to navigate around the site yet but this seems to be the right forum for me. Any suggestions to get me started very welcome.

MemberHi I am Mary and in my 50’s as well. I want to lose weight for my daughter’s wedding in April. I played around with the menu planner the first week. Didn’t lose any weight but learned a lot. I ate a lot of canned tuna, salmon and chicken. My second week menu looks so much better. I chose foods that were readily available at the supermarket that I liked and expanded the choices greatly. Check the box for a large variety of foods. You can then go in and alter specific items to your taste. Some combinations may be weird but try doing something different. I cut up my tomato and placed it on top of my steamed vegetables. It gave it a different flavor, I didn’t feel I had to add any salt to it for flavor. Check you list of free vegetables too. I believe they can be used in place of the vegetables on the planner list. At least that is what I am going to try since a lot of the veggies on the planner list is things I am not very familiar with.

Memberhi to all, i’ve finally found my menu and its a bit confusing as it does have multiple choices in each section for each meal, and i’m not sure if your supposed to combine or choose only one, i cant imagine eating a cup of asparagus on its own for dinner, or 1 portion of quiche a bowl of porridge and an apple for breakfast, any feedback welcome

MemberHi, Emma. There is a variety of vegetarian/vegan options in the menu planner. Please check again, and if you still have trouble finding them, I would be happy to send you a list.

MemberEmma, regarding the foods listed in the menu – all items listed for you at each meal are for you to eat at that meal. You won’t get stuck with an isolated item for major meals.
