    One more week to get to goal. I have been very stagnant with my loss for the past few weeks. All thru my own choices. Too much sodium lately! I am determined to get under 200 before next week! No bad options in the house should help!

    Goal for next week: 2 lbs

    Good luck to everyone else- LOVE seeing all of our successes!

    Good Morning Everyone
    Today is a great day to do anything. Go far a walk, to the gym or start that project that you have been putting off.
    Today I am back on track and feeling better. I went to doctor yesterday and had ex-rays on my left foot, after weeks of pain. I had a heel spur and inflamed fascia muscle, he gave me a shot. Last night was the first night I had a great night sleep and I am down 2 pounds. I had gained 3 when on vacation and I so wanted it gone. Now things are looking up again. :) Have a great day

    It’s the Little Things That Count

    Making small changes can add up to big results over time. Since drastic lifestyle changes often don’t work, find one aspect of your diet that you can change fairly easily. For example, instead of ordering large fries at lunch, opt for the medium or small size, Zemel suggests. Find little ways to work extra physical activity into your day, too. Take the stairs instead of the elevator and find the farthest parking spot at the mall or office lot. When talking on the phone, get up and walk around instead of sitting.

    When I watch TV, I have started getting up during the ads and walking about. You can get in 20 minutes in a one hour programme doing this.

    Can Salads Make You Fat?

    Toss those store-bought sauces and dressings, and top your foods with homemade versions instead. That way, you can control the fat — and perfect the taste.

    Flavorful salad dressings and sauces can bring healthy eating to a whole new level — they make vegetables, lean meats, whole grain pastas, and other foods taste even better. And since store-bought products can be loaded with fat, calories, and sodium, learning to make your own sauce and salad dressing recipes is an important part of healthy cooking.
