My Latest Weigh In and Other Good Things

After Easter and spring break for my children I skipped the Friday weigh in because I knew I had gained weight. So, in this video I show my latest weigh in and share some positive experiences I had this week. Thanks for watching LoseWeightNow TV.



Come back regularly to join me on my journey to lose 100 pounds.

My Apple Carrot Juice

Apple carrot juice is delicious when it is made to your liking. I prefer green apples because the red ones are sweeter and added to the sweetness of the carrots, it's just too sweet for me. So watch this video to see how I make mine and try it for yourself.



The Jack Lalanne power juicer really makes a difference in how much juice you get.

Something for the Fellahs! 10 Easy Ways to Lose Weight Without Starving

10 Easy Ways to Lose Weight Without Starving

1. Always Eat a Man's Breakfast
No more Lucky Charms—you want some protein and fat. Scrambled eggs and a few sausage links will keep you fuller longer than an airy doughnut will.

2. Eat More!
We're talking three good snacks and three healthful meals. But what do you serve during the bowl game if you can't have chips and dip? Mixed nuts—especially almonds—will satisfy your craving for something crunchy while helping to build muscle.

3. Just Say No to Starches
Foods like pasta, white bread, and potatoes make you fat. If you must have pasta, make yours whole-wheat. Same goes for bread, and swap white potatoes for sweet potatoes. Just don't eat too much!

4. Lift Weights
Yes, you have to hit the gym, and no, lifting beer cans during happy hour doesn't count. The muscles you build will not only improve your performance, they'll stoke your metabolism so you burn calories long after your workout is over.

5. Think Before You Eat
Don't just stuff your face with the stale cookies left over from the holidays, eat what tastes good and what's good for you. Take your time eating; you'll stay fuller longer.

6. But Have Fun Once in a While—or Once a Week
Stifle those cravings for too long, and you'll be miserable and might fall off your new plan forever. Just splurge reasonably—two slices of pizza, not the whole thing.

7. Go Low-Carb
It's the easiest way to drop weight fast. The cravings are hard at first, but it gets easier—especially when you see the results.

8. Run Intervals
It's easier to alternate between hard and easy running instead of going for a long run—especially if you don't like running. Plus, you'll be done faster and burn more fat.

9. Never, Ever Drink Sweetened Soda
But go ahead, have a glass of wine now and then. Low-carb beer is fine, too, in moderation.

10. Don't Fear Fat
It makes you feel full, helps control your appetite, and your body needs it.

Wii Fit vs Wii Fitness Coach Core Rhythms

Wii Fit vs. Wii Fitness Coach. I really like both of these games, watch the video as I compare the 2. THey both have great features and different features. Wii Fit costs a little more but the whole family can use it. Also, I saw an infomercial for Core Rhythms and that looks like fun too. I might get it in May.

Weigh in Part 3 I gained . .

My third weigh in and I gained 1.5 lbs. I wasn't surprised it was my son's birthday this weekend and I over did it. Add to that, my knees and ankles were hurting so badly it was hard to exercise. Even the dog was hurt, and we could only walk not run. Oh well, on to next week and picking up the slack.

Thanks for watching loseweightnowtv!

Weigh in Part 2 I lost a Pound This Week

I lost 1 pound but really I think more than that because it is that fabulous female time and I usually gain a few pounds of water, you know what I mean? But anyway, I will take a 11b weight loss. So I think a weekly weigh in is a good thing.

Is Your body Yours | Food is Fuel For Your Body

I want to see some ads for real sized people on exercise machines. Don't you? I really wanted a bacon cheeseburger today and was looking through my "motivational" magazines. I settled for 2 hard boiled eggs instead. Just ranting.

Are You Taking 10,000 Steps Per Day

I read an article that said we should be walking at least 10,000 steps per day. I just happen to have one and put it to the test. Also check out www.thebellyfatcure.com and Jorge Cruise, (married) but certainly a dish.

In the words of Martin "Git ta steppin'!"

What Did You Have For Lunch on Super Friday/Tuna Salad?

Today for lunch I had a salad. Spring mix salad, with tuna sprinkled with lemon juice and sliced red beets. I know I will be eating badly on Super bowl Sunday so I wanted to eat good today. Share a lunch recipe with me.

2 handfuls of mixed spring salad I buy it a Costco.
It's tripled washed but I still rinse it off

Chicken of the Sea Chunk Light tuna in Water drained
I sprinkle lemon juice over the tuna I use a little less than 1/2 of the can per salad.

Slice some canned beets, drain the juice and use that to make apple beet juice. ( I will do a future video on using my Jack Lalanne Power Juicer that I love)

Wishbone salad dressing in Red Wine Viniagrette

I don't count calories so I have no idea how many calories but it's gotta be less than a cheeseburger and fries right?

And of course water with honey to wash it down.

Good luck on Superbowl Sunday!
