Thanks for the inspiration and keep up the good work.

My favorite way to eat salad is with a little seasoned rice vinegar that has red pepper flakes in it. It is a low acid vinegar with a slight sweet taste. Mix a little extra virgin olive oil at first and soon you can eat it without oil at all. It is very low in calories and low in cost. I also like salsa on my salad and…

Have you tried any of the MIO flavors? No calories and lots of flavor. I mix the sweet tea flavor & the lemonade flavor. Just a little of each in a large sports bottle is all you need. I have also tried fruit punch and mango tea. I'm sure there are more that I haven't tried. The container is small and closes tight so I…

Try Salvation Army, Goodwill, consignment shops and ask at church. Look online for clothes offered on Freecycle. Last time I lost a lot of weight I gave away my 2X clothes to a nice lady who listed on Freecycle she needed that size because she had just dropped from 3X. She came right to my office and picked up the clothes.…

1. This morning I sauteed 8 oz of sliced baby bella mushrooms in 1 Tbs butter, added 2 thin slices of low sodium deli ham (diced) and added a container of plain eggbeaters. I scrambled the whole thing up and it fed three hungry adults. I also served toasted Sara Lee 45 calorie bread. Breakfast was at 6:30 A.M. and I could…

In case Santa messes up I wanted to let you know that Radioshack sells them for $79, which is $20 less than most places. Check their website.

I like to mix the Mio sweet tea with the Mio Lemonade to make a no calorie Arnold Palmer. Just a little squirt of each in a huge glass of ice water is very refreshing and rehydrating.
