My wife and I have been using the 'Lose it' app for the iphone for about a month now. I don't know if its the novelty, handiness, support of doing it with someone else, all these things or something…Continue

What is your favorite healthy food? How do you work it into your daily/weekly/monthly diet? How is it made, cooked or consumed? I need ideas! I'm at the end of my healthy-cooking-rope! Continue

Comment by Leigh Anna Marie on February 24, 2017 at 1:52pm: What can I do to lose weight. I have three herniated discs in my neck and three in my low back. ugh exercises are pretty much out. I can walk some but I wish I could do more. Should I just do a 1500 calorie diet?

Comment by Reggie on April 25, 2010 at 1:18pm: Well, two weeks of hunger (I am dismissing a week I spent out of town and could not adhere to my 2,000 calories limit), and I am down almost 10 pounds. Hopefully the trend continues.

Comment by Reggie on April 14, 2010 at 12:13am: You can do it, Sky! I'm with you. I'm on a 2,000 calorie per day diet. It's been a week and I feel like I am constantly hungry, but I keep telling myself that this hunger is an indication of my self cannibalization and the road to a healthier weight.

So far, I am amazed at how obsessing over calories has made me aware of my terrible eating habits that I have had for years. 2,000 calories then was what I called breakfast.

You go!

Comment by Skycomet the Fallen Angel on April 12, 2010 at 1:13pm: Starting Diet and exercise plan today. It's already extremely hard. The smell of pizza was wafting out of the cafeteria today and it took all my strength to stick to my low calorie soup that I brought. Also, I just found out how badly out of shape I am. I just came back from a short, brisk walk. I took a lap around clermont college [which isn't big at all] it was maybe a half mile, and by the end I was sweating bullets and my calves were burning. But, I burned 30 calories. I guess that's a start right?

Comment by Misty: Baytheist Living! on February 19, 2010 at 11:36am: Josh-
I really like almond milk. I use it for everything, but sometimes.. man.. I dunno. My body is just programmed to crave stuff from a cow. I occasionally want it. Really want it.
I <3 almond milk on it's own, though. I wish it were cheaper. $2 per small carton at Trader Joe.

Comment by Joshua McGee on February 17, 2010 at 3:57pm: Yay me. Back on track and drinking organic almond stuff in my coffee today, though.

To me the almond stuff is even yummier, too. In the periods in which I'm vegan, I consume a great deal of it.

I gave up on my weight goal.

Then I'll stop feeling as guilty for not ever finding out the name of the weight-loss tea I promised to research for you. :-) No car at the moment, the store is a good 20km distant, and my latea ("Los Angeles Tea") friends couldn't remember either.

Best of luck, as always, on the wedding, with or without quotation marks. :-)

Comment by Misty: Baytheist Living! on February 17, 2010 at 3:52pm: I gave up on my weight goal. Not because it's unachievable or unhealthy, but just because we don't have a set date for the 'wedding' and I want a little more freedom of mouth. (Quit snickering.)
I did make a really good move and switched entirely from cow milk to almond milk for a month. Last night I broke and had some cow milk. Didn't feel any worse or better for it, but making it as long as I did has me feeling pretty powerful. Yay me. Back on track and drinking organic almond stuff in my coffee today, though.

Hope everyone is doing well and gearing up for spring!

Comment by Wesley on January 25, 2010 at 7:11pm: I work out with weights... not a lot of cardio. I would say I'm about 230 lbs of muscle generously packaged in 35lbs of fat... (All of it in my Gut) I'm 6' 1 1/2 268lbs (today). I really want to target the fat but know I also need to reduce my overall weight for my age. I'll be 47 in may.
I'm eating oatmeal, with raisins, (no butter or sweetener) for breakfast on weekends flaxseed oil, garlic capsules, B complex and Amino boost (not every day) C and E. Soup and sandwich for lunch, and balanced meat and veggie dinner. During the week its the apple for breakfast, soup for lunch, sandwich and salad or balanced supper. It may be because its so soon, but I haven't been hungry........yet! (of course that may be because I have tremendous reserves to go through first.)
Is there anything out there that will facilitate fat burning? I heard that soy lecithin was a fat emulsifier... any truth to that?
