    Hi there, I'm Sandy:) Once you make small changes to your diet, you'll become used to it, it's just gonna take a while. Just google up "How to make healthy foods taste good" and I'm sure you'll get a lot of recipes on there. I also love the "Cooking Light" magazine, and "Yoga journal" because they've got some really great recipes in there. If you truly want to be 140, you'll get there! You know, one great meal with vegetables is Stuffed Peppers, and it's pretty healthy. I personally use turkey for the meat, but you can use beef.
    This site has really helped me, and I'm sure it's gonna help you too.
    I sent a friend request.
    Good Night:)

    I'm not the healthiest eater at all but since being on this site I have just watched the amount I was eating. Still eating fast food and sweets. I am drinking a lot more water and exercising more and I have done pretty well I think. In a month I have lost over 8 lbs and over 4 1/2 inches. You can go look at my food diaries if you want to see that I'm not really dieting. You can never have to many friends add me if you would like.

    Huh, that's strange. Well if you can't tolerate them, than you can't tolerate them. There's plenty of other healthy ways of cooking. I plan on posting some healthy recipes on here within the next week:)

    Would it make a difference if the vegetables were pureed? I know some people have problems tolerating vegetables whole.

    In any case, weight loss is about calories in, calories out. Make sure you're taking a multivitamin and eating as much healthy food as you can!

    I was raised up on a meat and potato kind of diet, with lots of sweets for dessert. My folks never made me eat veggies or fruits. I have tried stuff that I've never had before that are basics, like oranges, I never ate an orange until my early 20's, granted I didn't like it, it was just a texture thing. What works for me is juice! I love V8 fusion, and count it in with my calorie intake for the day. I also a multivitamin, and just try and make it as healthy as possible.
