Okay, I'm joking a little bit but on a serious note.. give me your best tried and true weight loss tips - I know all the healthy ways, slow and steady, exercise, eat right blah,blah,blah..

But I want to hear personal detailed ways that have worked for you... I have a vacation coming up in July - one that involves a bathing suit! aahhhggg it's so hard the older I get to lose the extra pounds that creep up over the holidays ( well actually all the time now)!

I not suggesting a magic pill - I don't want to be a crack addict ( although they sure are thin!) and their houses are so clean! :tweeted:

I've been doing Turbo Jam which is okay - I did Ab Jam and couldn't move for two days! I'm drinking water, water and more water...

Has anyone tried Hoodia?

Tell me some success stories.. what worked for you and what are you doing to maintain your ideal weight.
