Jamie King : Rock Your Body DVD

I bought this Jamie King : Rock Your Body DVD late last year and I’ve completely forgot to write a review so here it is. If you’re not a dancer, this workout will be VERY hard for you. I consider myself a good dancer but even I had a difficult time following the routine. […]

Yeah, sue me, coz I’m trying Alli. I’ve never been good with diet pills except with TrimSpa. I like that stuff, kidding you not. It works for me. I’ve tried Metabolife and Hydroxycut in my early years and it’s just did not for […]

I think we all know by now all the harmful effects of drinking too much soda. How can we not, new researches come out like every year about the “dangers” of carbonated, caffeinated and sugared drinks. As for myself, I like drinking diet Pepsi or […]

Try iVillage’s Snack Swapper

*Image © Dexie J. Wharton
Being a problogger means grabbing snack to munch on whenever you can, while in front of the computer working. That’s another habit I need to cut back on besides sugar. Chocolate Truffles, Flaming Hot Cheetos, Chocolate Chip Cookies, etc, are my enemies. I should stick with gum since you actually […]

10 Ways To Cut Back On Your Sugar

I really need this 10 Ways To Cut Back On Sugar list especially after my in-laws’ visit last weekend. See, I take my coffee with sugar and cream. Usually, I just pour milk in my coffee instead of creamer. My mother-in-law loves her creamer so my husband thought he’d get her something she likes. He […]

Misleading Nutrisystem Commercials

I’m a little irked by the Nutrisystem commericals that  I’ve seen lately. I like Marie Osmond and damn she looks good. To quote her from the commercial and the ad on the website :
“I went on a Nutrisystem and lost 40 pounds..”
I’m sure the Nutrisystem worked and helped her. It’s quite obvious. But what’s missing […]

Where The Hell Did They Go?

Losing weight not only means losing poundage. I’ve noticed, in myself(and a few friends who’ve shared the same sentiments), that there is one thing about the body that I didn’t want to go. I’ve actually enjoyed their company. Very Sexy and was very proud that they are real.
Unfortunately, when losing weight, they’re the first things […]
