pasjj5, the tea can count toward the amount of liquid just be sure not to sweeten it unless the sweetener gets counted in your menu planner.
MillisaD97, Yes, the 10 glasses of water seems like a lot, and it may be for you. Some personal trainers, not associated with this program, recommend this formula for sufficient water for an individual. Take your weight in pounds (mine is 198)and divide by 2 (99)and that is how many ounces of water I need, or 12 glasses plus 3 ounces. I keep a gallon jug with a Sharpie mark at the level of 12 glasses and 10 glasses, and I fill it with water every morning and use those extra three ounces for my first drink of the day. The water in my jug better be gone before too close to bedtime!

Hi guys! Since I’ve posted this, I’ve been to NYC and you have no choice but to walk so that helped. Today (after getting 14 inches of snow the past 2 days) is gorgeous out and I am actually feeling motivated to get out there. Then my mom said, “watch out- there’s no side walks, the snow is piled high from the plows and the cars will not see you.” Enough to keep me on the couch!!! Any ideas, I actually have energy today!!

I have been doing infinitely better since I purchased a fitbit pedometer. It tells me how mant calories I burn even when I am asleep! It is nice to wake up and find out I have already burnt over 400 calories! Anyway, I digress….the fitbit has made me be so much more active! Because of this my weight loss is so much greater! This week I have been trying really hard to do the 10,000 steps (more if I can) and this week I lost 6 1/2 pounds! When the weather outside is not so nice I put on some good tempo music and jog on the spot! It is so motivating to see the steps add up so quickly and the calories burnt skyrocket…..it’s great! Hope this helps!

where do I find out info on this machine

Hello! My husband bought it for me from an outdoor store. My dad also found lots of information about it online and apparently it is an Australian product but available in many countries! I don’t know where you live but I live in the US and now I have one I have seen them for sale in other places. The week before last Target had the blue colored one on sale (don’t know why it was only the blue one but anyway!) the fitbit itself is small, about the size of a digital watch face and it comes with a rubberized clip that you can attach to your bra. It has superior technology to track your steps and is, therefore, more accurate in my opinion than other pedometers I have had in the past. It was nice to not have to calculate my stride length as I have had to do in the past. Healthy eating with TrimDown plus the fitbit has really worked for me I hope it will help you as well! Happy searching! Hope this helped.

Hi Everyone I have been on the programme for 2 weeks and have lost 4.4lbs exactly where I wanted to – around my middle!! The bonus is that I no longer suffer from a bloated windy uncomfortable tummy after eating. This is definately a healthy way to go.

I have two artificial knees since yr. 2000 and a new left hip since Jan ,31,2013. I would not advise stair climbing for anyone with sore knees!!!! Just walk around the inside of your house if the weather is bad or walk in place on a soft carpet. It helps if you play music that is appropriate to march to! Good luck, Marilyn
