Shout out

I do different searches each week for helpful websites for weigh loss, work out tips and what not. I want to give a shout out to http://allwomenstalk.com/. This site has weight loss tips, great tasting low calorie desserts and fashion advise.
I find that at certain times of the month I crave sweet foods and can't fight the sweet cravings and think about weight loss. Allwomenstalk.com has 10 delicious desserts that range from 100-300 calories. This would be far less trouble than going through half a bag of peanut M&M's.
Another great tip from this website is how to lose 48 pounds a year by using not being a couch potato.
This article from Life Hack tells us exactly how we can lose weight while watching TV:

What would happen over the course of a year if our average TV watcher got off the couch and did some simple, easy-to-do step-ups (stepping up and down on a box, step, platform) every time the ads were on? The answer is quite staggering.

The author went on to provide the figures. Here’s one example:

Weight of subject: 150 lbs (68 kgs)Daily stepping commitment: 15 x 3 mins

Additional energy expended per day (8 inch box): 460 cals
Additional energy expended per day (12 inch box): 552 cals
Additional energy expended per year (8 inch box): 167,900 cals
Additional energy expended per year (12 inch box): 201,480 cals

Potential weight loss for the year (8 inch box): 48 lbs (21.8 kgs)
Potential weight loss for the year (12 inch box): 57.6 lbs (26.1 kgs)

Imagine that! You can do some simple step-up exercises in between commercials, and you can shed off at least 48 lbs in one year!

Okay, so it’s time for me to don those sweat pants, get a 12-inch box and do those step-up exercises in between the TV ads -most of them are annoying, anyway. What about you, have you come across any innovative methods to lose weight?
