I am 5'5" and started right at 212. I am down 6 pounds in 22 days. I am trying to make better food choices and track calories daily...lifestyle changes that I can stick to for good, rather than some fad diet that I know I won't stick to long term. I gave up Diet Sodas 2 months ago and replaced them with water or…

I have a question about Ezekiel bread. In my area I only find it frozen and I have bought it several times and when thawed it is like cardboard - tough and dry. How do you store it and how do you thaw it to keep it from having this cardboard texture when you are ready to use it. I liked the taste of it, but couldn't get…

I am on the flip side of this scenario...as I am just at the beginning of my journey to a new healthy lifestyle that I can sustain. Since middle school, I wore a size 9 regular. Now as I have gained weight as an adult, I have to buy a 9.5 regular most of the time. Not for the length, but for the width across my toes and…

This is a great post...just what I needed today. You see, I have tried and quit...tried and fell off the wagon...tried and failed so many times before. I woke up this morning and decided to try it again...I always decide to try again...for a few weeks and then lack motivation and find excuses not to exercise or…

Same thing happened at my previous job, a girl who had been trying to lose weight (and was succeeding) passed on birthday cake and one jerk commented on her "not being a part of the group" despite the fact that she participated in every part of the celebration, except eating cake. I do not think the guy's intent was to be…
