That's what I was going to say Tamara,, also try to eliminate as much "white" foods as possible,, ie Breads, sugars, crackers, and cut back on red meats, eats lots of fruits and veggies,, fresh if possible, and eat baked/roasted meats, not Fried, and like Tamara said Water, water water, drink 8oz of water before eating a meal eat only until you are just beginning to feel full, yet not quite there, then drink another glass of water.

Okay thanks yall! yea for the last couple days and until i get down ive gone vegetarin no meat ive been eating mostly cucmbers and apples; cucumbers get all of the water out of you, the keep ya full, and the apples have pectin in them which is a thing that is in jello its a thickner so it keeps me full

don't eat after 7pm or 8pm so if you feel hunger, your body will used the stored energy (fat) instead of putting more food inside your system
my english teacher (health fanatic) suggested to me to try fasting a day or so to clean out the body (i guess he was hinting something to me lol) i've tried it and you don't feel hungry at all for a good day or so, you can start eating again once you do

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. Mary Ann LaPensee
if you can get your hands on it, you can try stevia, it an herb with a natural sugar content which is about 20 (or 200X I can't remember) the sweetness of sugar without the calories. It's all natural.

yea i thought about splenda but wasnt that originally a pesticide?
I never knew that! I've heard sugar substitutes could cause cancer...

yea they could, i know spelnda had tons of cholorine in it. Normal foods have them too but splenda has a lot lot more. Yea I done some more reasearch it was stumbled upon by scientists seeking a new pesticide formulation, it is made from sugar though. The sugar molecule but three of the hydroxyl groups in the molecule have been replaced by three chlorine atoms! But they claims its safe, anything to me that was originally a pesticide im not going to use it...
but in their own animal testing for a short amount of time it showed that it cause shrunken thymus glands and enlarged livers and kidneys in rodents. But its not ocnclusive though they say because it was tested on animals not humans which may have differnt results.
plus some peoples bodys abosrbs differnt things from the sugar some peoples body may tak in alot of the chlorine over some time and it would cause a problem, some peoples body dont absorb so much there for things could be fine for them, but truellyy no one know the long term affect of it. I know scary isnt it and the FDA isnt really doing anything about it theve left a whole lot of the testing to the manufactures of the product, and since its made from one little sugar molecule they say its all natural....

my biggest diet tip is water. drink water before you eat anything.
i'm staying out of the splenda/equal/sweet and low/nutrasweet debate. i will say that my dr said that splenda was the safest of them and for his patients who need to avoid gaining weight, that is his recommendation. and for many folks, artificial sweeteners are their only option.
you were talking bout the plant itself werent you or already made?
Like Jiffy said, both plant and ready made should be the same, I've never used it before but I have seen it in health food stores.

Yep Jiffy Dwight's Dr. told him to use it because of his diabetes too, and said it is the safest, I bake with it all the time,

I am however going to buy those stevia seeds online, and go to the store and get some packets of it. im so excited ill be able to drink coffee with sugar again!
Huh i just read that stevia may also reduce the incidence of tooth decay. (yay me!)

Starting my diet today, to much candy over the winter,its going to be hard, because I think I'am addicted to suger. I'am going to start todo my yoga again, and then I use my weights to tone up my muscle's. Let me know how you are all doing.
I used to use Equal--staying away from "the pink stuff'--as i had heard bad things--
then when splenda came out _ used it exclusively. BUT when I began having trouble with urgency with my bladder I read someplace about foods with sweetner in them causeing a problem--so--I stopped using the spenda & went back to sugar in my coffee--and the urgency went just about totally away---my Dr said she had not ever heard of such a thing--but it works like that for me---bad news is I have gained 4 pounds---ang I too want to lose not gain--
I too am at wits end--I have been on weight watchers 3 or 4 times & I must have been over zelous somewhere along the way and lowered my metabloism-- because I have to eat very little in order to drop any weight---

Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain!! .....
juniegirl, take b-12 vitamins! they boost ur metab! and eat some more cucumbers (i swear by them i really really do) its a dieurtic and its made of 96% water and it fluses u out. Thats why ive been eating them religiously lately and apples. those are the only 2 things ive been eating. but im talking multivitamins to make up for er thing else... hey do what kenny said get some stevia the sell the sugar packets of it in stores, its all natuaral no calories and its made from a plant so its not artificial
pleaseee... Betty Crocker aint got nothing on me =)
I need to get back to a better diet too. I did it a couple of years ago after I had been sick and I felt good. Of course, I've returned to my old habits of ice cream, cookies, gallons of Pepsi, white bread yada yada yada, and I can really tell the difference in the way I feel. I'm going to get back on track.

I missed this post of my moms in here.....You can do it mom! I don't want to see a billion candy wrappers in your trashcan next to your bed ANYMORE!
She did get rice cakes today. One thing I must say though mom that I've told you a lot---you need some cardio exercise in there. Yoga and lifting weights alone isn't enough.
Good luck to all of you that are dieting. I eat a lot of junk and I know I need to eat healthier but my weight stays about the same---I never ever weigh myself, I just judge things by the way my clothes fit me.
I think this might have been one of the best posts ive ever posted its nice to know im not in it alone! and that yall are starting doing it with me! yay! loz your a lot like my grandma I would kill to have her metabolism shes been a size 2 i think all her life, never gains a pound she never has to work out and she eats candy all the time, shes 71, im happy for her though... just wish i wouldve inherited the GENE! Im glad your getting back on track matriach and also all the rest of you that are doing it to! YOUR NOT IN IT ALONE!
pleaseee... Betty Crocker aint got nothing on me =)
I think it is genetic. My mom is so tiny and so is my grandma...the older they get the smaller they are. The same thing is happening to me now. I have to fight to keep weight on lately.....not a good thing, I look so sickly.
Yet I do know what a struggle losing weight is. Being pregnant wasn't nice to me. I had gained over 70 pounds that time, took me 2 years to get most of it off.
Loz, think your mom would save that candy for us?
~~Tam~ You can bury all your troubles by digging in the dirt.
No im not being put on the list! lol ive resisted candy for the last 2 days and i even turned down apple pie thats how determined i am, i do though have a great easy recipe for apple pie that im going to put in the recipe section....
im getting side tracked, lol
