Thank you so far it is helping us both in a small way. It is fun to get int he kitchen and cook together and it has been good for us in more then just a health level. It is also helping us both pay more attention to what we are eating for both lunch and dinner and we have decided that our next step is that we are going to…

When I started at first to buy the healthier options I noticed my grocery budget go up a little bit to. However if you start to really watch your portions on how much you eat then you will also notice that you get fuller and don't eat as much of the good as the bad stuff because the bad is full of empty calories that don't…

I have tried a few smoothies for breakfast but I am a coffee drinker so the hot and cold combination turned me off of them as a breakfast option.

The easiets way I have found is by watching how much sugar you eat. I cut out soda and lost 10 pounds in a month without exercise or any other change in my diet. Processed and hidden sugar in foods will pack on water weight and pounds without you realizing it, plus you will feel better at least I did after gettign over the…

Hi everyone, I know this feeling really well, my husband is the kind of guy who eats everything and gets upset when he has less than his normal six-pack without working out... I wish I had that problem. He is a great guy and never critizies me but knowing that after an unfortunate miscarriage I have gained more weight than…
