Hi I just went to the doctor the other day and she told me I am about 20 pounds overweight. I've always thought I looked fine though. But, she made it seem like this is a big deal. I don't exercise as much as I would like to. I try to eat healthy but I slip up every now and then. I just bought this tea that's supposed to help me lose weight. I decided to give it a try because it's supposed to curve hunger and increase metabolism. It's called Tiesta Tea. But, I've only been drinking it once a day for about a week now. I would like to join a gym but they are pretty pricey (about $35 a month.) I just don't know if that is worth it or not. Do you know of any healthy snacks that will make me feel full and energized for awhile? I work 6 hour shifts and I need something to have during my 15 minute break since I do not get a lunch break. I need something that will hold me over for a few hours until I am able to eat lunch at home. Also do you know of any cheap or free exercises that i can do at home (I have a treadmill, a wii with a wii fit, an exercise ball, 3 pound and 5 pound weights.) Nothing seems to help me lose weight. It's too cold here to go on a walk or a bike ride (I am a wuss when it comes to cold weather.) I try and make extra tips up and down the stairs every day. I am a 5'5" 150 pound woman. I would like to be about 130 (that's what my doctor wants me to be as well.) I am always looking for healthy recipes to cook (I am an advanced cook who can cook just about anything.) I've been cooking for over 10 years and I am currently going to culinary school. So, it's hard sometimes to eat healthy when I am a chef and work around food every day at school and at my job. But, I try and eat unhealthy stuff only in moderation. Lately, I've been craving only carbs. But, I try and balance that out with fresh fruits and veggies. I am always looking for healthy smoothie recipes that will promote weight loss. Any tips or advice you have for weight loss? Thanks!View Thread
