00:03:21 - Laura - Can working out (i.e., physical stress) help relieve mental stress?

00:08:54 - Adrienne - If you know that there is a reasonable chance that you will eat a high number of calories for dinner, do you pretty much fast for the start of the day?

00:15:44 - Pamela - I want to be as active as my 87-year-old mother when I get to be her age. She rides her bike (15 miles a day!) and walks, but she has little upper body strength. Are your Walking Off the Weight and monthly exercise videos enough for me to gain strength or do I need to start lifting heavier weights?

00:22:17 - Crystal - I am trying to lose weight and don’t want to work out because it makes me more hungry. But then I don’t sleep as well at night because I am not as physically active. Any advice for me?

00:25:37 - Natalie - Could you please explain the role that grief has in losing weight? Do fat cells hold onto emotional memories that can affect weight loss?

Book suggestion by Killer B Amy: “The Body Keeps the Score” by Bessel Van der Kolk

00:28:16 - Karen - Regarding core strength, are you supposed to keep your core tight the entire workout or just when you are doing certain parts of the exercises?

00:29:42 - Laura - I have been trying to lose 10 pounds for over a year. I’m struggling with how many calories are appropriate for me--1350 or 1450. I am doing all other 5-0 items, and I journal daily. I feel lost and frustrated. Can you help?

00:37:49 - Laura - I’ve done the writing and soul searching and still can’t find a good reason to lose weight and follow the guidelines, even though I’m miserable and overweight. Any suggestions?

00:46:56 - Karen - Just curious. At what speed do you usually walk on the treadmill?

00:47:36 - Susan - I’ve just recovered from Covid and lost a lot of weight and fitness. The weight I am now has always been the goal weight I’ve never been able to reach. I’m going to try to stay at this number. I’m ready to start your October exercise series and will likely start to gain weight from the toning moves. How can I deal with this mentally if it happens?

00:55:47 - Sally - I like to exercise with your videos all seven days of the week. Do you have any advice for the type of workouts to choose from your vast library for the two days beyond your five-day series? I want a balanced week of exercises.
