With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

I eat about 5-6 times a day, high protien, carb sources are oatmeal brown rice and whole wheat bread or tortillas. I feel like I'm missing something because I am tryng to loose about 10 lbs... gained recently due to some major chaneges in my life.....any suggestions? I also like the workout ideas of Body for Life alternating weight with cardio, but I feel that I need more cardio than that.....Thanks:)

You should do a combination of both as I said. Have you tried the weight loss/tone program on here. that would be a good place to start. -------------- Bettia....
