The sweeter the fruit, the more the sugar. A sour green grape would have less sugar than a sweet purple grape by a little. But fruit is healthy, don't worry about it. Keep away from refined sugars and you will do great!

Each person's body is different depending on your age, male or female or what health problems you have. For an example, I can loose faster by eating less carbs as they turn to sugar. And at my age everything goes to tummy fat.

Definately real butter, real salad dressings, real sour cream The fake stuff does not fill you up and keep you full like the real thing.

Lots of fresh and frozen vegetables. Fruit Nuts

For my Android phone I have MFP Catholic One iMissal Ava Maria Radio My iPod touch is dying on me, I use to love the iPieta for it, but can't find one for the android phone. I am downloading runtastic now and will see what its like.

I sew, so have taken some shirts and vests in. Pants you can use belts. Shop clearance racks or thrift shops.

Prayers are needed for a 4 month old little girl named Mikaela who has RSV.

What kind of phone apps are out for the android phones?

I think I need to concentrate on doing the Liturgy of the Hours more consistantly also.

Right now I am trying to stay under 100 net carbs per day, and one or two days a week down to 60 net carbs, so I will not be adding any grains or rice. I have been drinking too much caffeine because of my sleep apnea. So I may give up caffiene or limit it to one a day. I now have an android phone so I may start listening…

When I walk the treadmill I like to do my Rosary and Divine Mercy chaplet, then some personal prayers and maybe a St. Michael prayer and a Memoriarie. It really makes a half hour go fast.

Before taking anything do your research and ask your doctor. I researched Borage for an example and it thins the blood, so if you are already on blood thiners you can have problems. It also lessens the effects of epilepsy drugs and NSAID used for arthritis. If you are on no medication at all you may just see constipation.…

I am here! Chocoholic would describe me. As everyone is bringing in stuff at work, bring a fruit tray or a veggie tray or other healthy snacks. I bet you will have people following you and then you won't be alone. It took me a while but most of my sweets come from fruit now. Once you are off the refined sugar you won't…

You look great! Now keeping it off will be just as hard as loosing it, but you can do it! It was not a diet, it was a "live it". You now have a new way of eating, congrats!!!!

Here is a list of foods with carbohydrate content as well as other nutritional information. Look at the list and find out what foods you like that have zero or little carbs. A low carb diet is about 50-60 carbs per day. Because carbs turn to sugar in the blood, diabetic typically try to stay to 100 carbs per day. See what…

I stared with an iPod touch keeping track of calories and exercise and now I have an android phone that now has a scanner on it. I keep track at each meal. Most days I plan ahead, especially if there is one meal I will eat out, I will check the restaurant website for nutrition to find out what is best to eat. Typing in…

How do we upload a picture on here?

The first time you see a specialist you wait months, but after your first visit they all of a sudden have an apointment next week if you need it. My husband was put on Nexium, the insurance said it was too costly even though it got my husbands stomach healed right away. Then they make him shoot the hoops with several…

Stir fry with any mixture of meats and veggies, we don't need rice anyway. Lettece salad with sliced raw zuchini and raw sliced summer squash with tomatoes and cheese.

Cut in half, a little salt and pepper and spoon out! Cut up and put on any salad. Mash and add your favorite salsa for a quick guacamole. Mash with light miracle whip and spread on toast BLT with avacado slices

I knew there was a reason that I don't like it.

Yep, size 24 was the past. Today it is an 18. It took about 15 months, my doctor ordered a slow weight loss so that I don't rebound.

Amen, I agree! May the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary bless us. Catholic confirmed in the Catholic Church 2004

You can do it!! My reward used to be food, now it is new clothes!!! yeah!

bump I started out with tight 24w and now I am thrilled with 18's. I am striving for 16's, but all in due time.

Looks like you might be in starvation mode. You need to eat those 1200 calories plus your exercise calories! I see days you are under 800 or 900 calories. Most heavy people can loose weight on 1500 calories a day. Your carb level is great, but eat more! Try lots of veggies and meat! You need protein or you will be getting…

I watch both calories and carbs. Also if you eat carbs that are high in fiber that helps also as Net Carbs = Carbs - Fiber.

If I need to eat out, I will stop and get a Subway salad, love those healthy spinach leaves and all the veggies! The sandwiches can be low fat, but watch the amount of carbs with all the bread. As with anything....moderation.

It is hard, but try new healthy foods. Cut out junk and fat. Your appitite will change, but it is slow. Your body will soon crave what it needs.
