  • I am really bummed to see how mean people are! I don't drink soda, but made the decision to look at this post out of interest. I didn't find the OP was preachy at all. Why on earth would people report it? Beyond me. For what it's worth, I appreciated the info and agree aspartame is a nasty chemical and we could all benefit…

  • Hmmm, yes, I think I am sensitive to it for sure. I have tried Stevia before but the after taste was awful (|I hate black licorice). Any way to avoid after taste than with Stevie? Also, it the dropper or powder form the best? Funny how you read the topic line. lol I see I spelled it "sustitute"...go me! haha

  • Wow, I don't have time to read all the previous posts, but wanted to share what I saw on a program yesterday (coincidentally). It is a show with two women (called Shopping Bags - I think) and they review and give consumer reports on all sorts of things from best flooring to best diets. In terms of the diets out there now,…

  • I eat 100% natural PB but watch the quantity. I never eat the "fake" stuff anymore and in fact think it tastes waxy and gross. For jam, I eat St.Dalfour raspberry jam (again watching the quantity) as it has no added sugar nor chemical sweeteners. ;) I think on a slice of whole grain bread or english muffin, it's a great…

  • Totally agree with all your words of wisdom! Thanks for writing this post! Great to remind everyone the importance of a lifestyle change instead of a diet. I mean, this HAS to be a lifestyle change rather than a quick fix diet. We have to constantly engage our mind and our body in order to truly succeed. Hopefully one day…

  • Beth, I once lost 60 lbs and honestly, it melted off me once I put my mind and body into action. I know you can do it and imagine how amazing you will feel once you get the ball rolling?! I am already feeling positive about my lifestyle change. I was hooked on sweets (ahem, the fudge that Lyndi brought to your place - to…

  • Interesting topic! I appreciate the info. I personally have started to appreciate agave syrup. I tried Stevia and didn't like it at all in my coffee. :( Perhaps it was the brand I bought? They were little tablets.

  • Mamasota - Moderation IS typically key with everything, however, I worry with a sugar addiction I will have to detox for quite sometime before even attempting to indulge a little here and there on it. Accountant_boi - Thanks so much for the links and info! Frightening stuff isn't it? Sugar is the devil IMO. I dont want to…

  • Great advice! I quit smoking in 2001 but did it cold turkey. I found quitting smoking, for me, was a piece of cake (HAR HAR) compared to the mountain I am facing for weight loss (more the fact that it is going to be a forever and a thoughtful thing as you cant stop eating cold turkey). ;) I have heard the philosophy of…

  • Hi! Thanks for your input and thoughts. I actually started logging and wow, shocking to see how many calories I have eaten already and it is only 0830! Oops. That is why you suggested it right....now I have a visual of what is going on. I find it amazing that what I put in my mouth does not ever correlate with how much I…
