To keep hunger at bay, I find that eating raw carrots helps me. Sometimes, a cup of decaf coffee will help curb my appetite too.......... Elora Doesn't work for me - I love raw carrots way too much for that. :-) I keep eating and eating and eating.... But then, they sure are a grand substitute for things like popcorn. :-D

Okay haven't posted here for a while.....I seriously need this place but I could use some help so maybe we need to start a support group here for weight loss. But anyway I recently found a weight loss program that seems to be a good idea. Instead of dieting eating the right kinds of foods that help get rid of fat instead of encouraging it to stay. I found that our bodies produce the insulin to fight sugar but if we eat too much sugar then we produce too much insulin and it's not healthy in fact it wouldn't hurt us to cut out sugar at all but that's not realistic for most of us. But what I was going to say is too much insulin encourages our body to store the fat. We can eat foods though that fight the fat instead. Did you know that whole wheat bread, white bread etc....turns into glucose in our bodies (sugar)....instead we should eat breads made of millet, barley, and other grains. I found this very interesting that most processed food contain corn syrup another big no, no. Well that is all for now, but no matter what anyone tells you or what diet you're on eating food like fresh fruits and vegetables are a good thing even some carbohydrates help fight fight I will get into that later but keep up the good work this week and eat healthy.....go have an orange instead of a cookie. See how it makes you feel, and remember "Moderation in all things" (((((hugs)))))

OK - I'll "weigh" in on this one.... LOL!!! i love to eat.... junk food, really rich foods, fast food, you name it and I'm so there. I was able to shed 20 lbs. on weight watchers, and kept if off for a few years, but those pounds are creeping up on me again.
Meems - i agree, fruits and veggies are the way to go, but you have to watch those too. A good, well rounded diet - in moderation is best. If only I could practice what I know to be true...... Must add exercise in any form too... even if it's only 5 minutes of exercise a few times each day.

Popcorn - microwave, single serving, with a bit of parm cheese on top is the best for a night time fix. Note to self:..... Popcorn tonight...

LOL Elora you are definitely right, I don't know if you know this but actually real butter is better for you than that stuff they make called margerine. I read somewhere that the scientific elements in it's make up were just a step or two away from being plastic. A good breakfast of an egg and fruit not fruit juice, because unless it is freshly squeezed you're basically drinking orange sugar. An orange is much better. Unless you're getting lots of exercise don't add salt to things.

Okay I love Scotland but haggis for breakfast.....that's going a bit far for me. I think I'd almost rather be unhealthy than have to eat haggis. LOL

Cornmeal is a natural and cheap facial scrub. just take a handful, moisten it a bit with water and scrub the bacteria and dead skin cells away. you'll find a nice glow to your skin after a few treatments and a few extra dollars in your pocket for spending an outrageous amount of cash on high end products.......... it works....
Hugs, Elora/Cinder I am having an identity crisis.........hehehehe
