[Blueeyes101817]

Hey Jen!

Hope you start to feel better soon. Make sure you get lots of rest and eat some chicken soup. Sending and your way! Get better soon, Jen!

 

[sarahsmom73]

echinecha is an herb you can buy in capsul form at the drug store, tea in the grocery store, and in different forms in a health food store. Whenver I feel illness coming on I start taking the capsuls... I either don't end up sick or end up with a mild case of what is going around school...

Hope you feel better!

Jen, I'm so glad you're feeling better and way to go on the weightloss!!! Woo Hoo!

If I don't see you again before you leave for Disney I hope you have an awesome trip! It's really hot and humid here right now so you'll probably be guzzling the water and since you don't like anything food wise I bet you come back with a loss! LOL

Thanks guys--i really appreciate all your support here-i honestly couldnt do it without you guys..sooo many times i dont want to go and i come here ,read what u say..and i go to curves..
now i have a question for you --does anyone now any exercises or anything that help with your stomach? im losing the weight, but my stomach is still so big! and im at 145 now, but id love to get to at least 140..any ideas on how to get my stomach? thanks guys! keep up the good work while im gone!

Jen, are you doing any type of cardio in your workouts? That's about the only way I know of the get rid of belly fat. You can do ab work to develop the muscles but until you burn the fat off no one's gonna see it. Also examine your diet and see how much fat you are eating, you might need to trim it back a little. I've read numerous times that for women excess fat consumption usually ends up in your belly area.

 

[wilderness01]

I think cardio is the key as well. Also I was told by a trainer to do 3 sets of 40 reps of situps. Good luck.

Hey Jen!

Stopping by to WISH you a safe and relaxing trip. Have a great time at WDW and please tell Mickey and Minnie we said hi!

Take good care of you sweetie

 

[Blueeyes101817]
