How about cooking extra dinner and having it for lunch the next day? Have equipment on hand to keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold such as various size thermoses and bento boxes. Special dishes and cutlery make you feel like you're having a special picnic for one. Keeping ingredients in separate containers to assemble…

Trader joe sells 100% craberry juice that's unsweetened. You get used to the tartness or you can put stevia in it.

Thanks for the info

Kit Laughlin in Australia has both books and DVDs that helped me in the past. Amazon has some of the books but I ordered the DVDs direct from his website. He also has lots of info on the site. Also a research doctor, Jolie Bookspan, has lots of valuable info on her website. You can buy her books (which I recommend as…

I have multiple meniscus tears and have a whole routine to from physical therapist. They also put me on a bike trainer. Sticking to the flats for outdoor cycling for the moments since hills too stressful. They said the type of injury I have takes a while to heal

You know it's ok to feel like you don't want to work out or stick to your food routine. So just accept your feelings and do your workouts and food anyway. Life often presents some challenges like when someone says something that makes you feel badly. Look at this as an opportunity to have a new healthy response instead of…

Good for you for quitting smoking. Years ago when first married in the 70s, there was an article in the newspaper saying one person could live for $25 a month if you made nothing but Chinese food. We found 2 people could live on that amount and we ate well with plenty of leftovers, using a good Chinese cookbook for a…

Been there done that got fat again-The whole raw vegan thing, growing wheat grass the enemas, the colonics, blah blah blah. From what I experienced of the diet itself and the community involved in it, it's another way to turn eating into a religion, be fashionable or use it for one-up-man ship. However, on the plus side,…

What an inspiration. Thanks for the pix and workout tips

Read the article on bike.com about Scott cut shall who was over 501 and shed over 300 pounds by changing his eating habits and bicycling. In beginning he had to have special frame made and that info is in the article. Very inspiring. It inspired me to ride.

Doing physical therapy exercises and limited amount of bicycling and free weights You may want to google story about a man who…

I rally enjoy a good cup green tea. My favorite for a while was Rishi Earl Green. But I drank so much of it I've been drinking a variety of unflavored Japanese green teas. It's hard to drink paper bag tea after loose. I'll be trying somE Chinese green tea for comparison

Isn't it great when you overcome a challenge?!

I know myself well enough to keep certain foods out of the house and to allow myself some sweets. I'm in it for the long haul, not a diet, but a way of eating that includes whole foods and exercise. If I have ice cream in the house. I know I'll eat all of it whether a scoop or half gallon. So if I want ice cream I go out…

Wonderful. My goal is shedding 134 ponds as per my doctors strong request. I read a very motivating article last year about a man who weighed 500 pounds or more and let go of the flab by taking up bicycling. He had to have a special frame made when he started out. I think the article was in bike world. It's still online.…

I like brown rice protein and whey powder. I found a whey powder in the baking section of Whole Foods with nothing but whey in it. I don't like all the vitamin additives most of them have.

Wow! Awesome!!!!

I use the extra long stick with the mini rollers on it. Very comfortable and much better than the shiatsu torture hard foam roller with raised bumps I'd been using
