I am always a sucker for the southern belle accent. For that I would recreate Sherman's march to the sea.

How about green tea, no calories antioxidants and caffeine and a little potassium. If I had to choose between the coke and Dr pepper I would go Dr. Pepper I am not a huge fan of coke, Dr Pepper not root beer and not cola some strange in between taste.

f you are getting sugar from whole fruits most people will say don't worry about it. Fruit contains more then just sugar like fiber, vitamins, minerals, and even antioxidants which are good for you the good outweighs the bad with fruit, also fruit is not very calorie dense so you will feel full from fewer calories. If you…

Western NY here, pretty much as far as you can get in the state from NYC and still be in this crappy Empire state (cue the starwars music)

Where ever your mind goes your body will follow. If you truly believe that you can and will loose extra weight you can. It has only been 4 months since I set my mind to truly eating healthy and almost 40 lbs later I am still as committed as I was back on day 1. There maybe hard days ahead but you can get through them if…

A little slip is ok just don't make it in to a daily occurrence. You didn't gain the weight in one meal and you wont loose it in one. Treat yourself every now and then, people say it will help your body by convincing it that there is going to be more calories and it doesn't need to hold on to every last calorie. Maybe use…

I have never tried that brand of pasta. I do still eat pasta, I just am very careful of portion control and I eat pasta with fiber in it. The pasta is a bit tougher then the normal pasta but it does help me. I also add flax seed to my sauce for some extra fiber. I have type 2 diabetes but it seems to be fairly well under…

scratching my back, ohh it feels soooo good

I pretty much gave up soda too. I used to drink about 1 or 2 20oz a day now soda is a special treat or when I was really sick I needed some calories that I didn't chew (problem with my jaw) so I had a couple sodas. I switched to tea's I really like green tea it has caffeine but also antioxidants but if you are going to…

Good going!!!!! I pretty much started where you did but I am not as far along as you I am only down to about 260 and feel so much better already.

Please keep on going it will happen if you do things right. I would give a few suggestions #1 if you don't have a food scale get one a simple digital scale can be had for $10 or less and weigh your foods it is very possible that you are over portioning. #2 the first 10 lbs or so is probably just water weight your body will…

It is also possible that what you are putting in your diary does not have the correct sodium in the database. Practically all food has sodium even something like iceberg lettuce has 6 mg of sodium in a cup. If you use a salt shaker at the table that is sodium you might not put it in your diary but it is there. The database…

How about some squash? Summer is coming up and zucchini and summer squash will be everywhere. Those are some of the easiest vegetables to grow too. Another idea would be some eggplant people love eggplant Parmesan.

I've almost lost a 5 gallon bottle of water or a average human leg. Just this morning I was wishing I had a 3rd arm and now I almost lot a leg.

I am not a dietician or any other medical professional but I am a type 2 diabetic non-insulin and I have no problems eating potatoes or other carbs the thing I have noticed with my body is that I have to keep portions under control and do my best to eat healthier foods. This is a continual challenge but I do like to use…

People like different wines you need to figure out what you like. Maybe take a trip to some wineries or wine fests taste different wines and figure out what you like. Many new wine consumers lean toward sweeter wines. I am going to make some from our Brighton grapes a friend made some a couple years ago for me it was…

I am 34 and all the time people don't believe it. Right now after I lost almost 30 lbs I am pretty much back to the weight I was at when I graduated high school still morbidly obese but hey it is going in the right direction. I have had multiple people say I look like I am maybe early 20's.

Totally right about the juice, my family grows concord grapes which are used for juice, jam, and jelly the raw fruit is taken in to the plant pressed out and then concentrated to a fairly high brix (sugar level) for storage and transportation. When you take that concentrate and add water to it to bring it back to juice…

My eating disorders are as follows: Missing my mouth with the fork and poking my eye. Not chewing my food enough and needing some stranger to do the Heimlich maneuver Liquid going down the wrong pipe (well I guess this would be a drinking disorder) :laugh: winner right here

I don't think there is anything wrong with eating at night as long as you are within your calories. We all have different schedules but maybe make it a healthy or healthier snack. I like to get some protein or calcium at night, I love the idea of maybe switching it from potato chips to popcorn. I also like yogurt or beef…

Organic foods can use pesticides and fungicides. One pesticide that is permitted is Nicotine Sulfate made from tobacco and is a very deadly poison, a organic fungicide that is organic is a spray made from copper and lime yep copper as in the metal and the lime is not the fruit but from stone.
