I don't like fake anything. Butter is okay in moderation. A teaspoon not a tablespoon. Same as sugar. You may like the taste of the substitutes but your body isn't getting any nutrition, just chemicals. Try eating your food plain. Once you get used to the taste you may actually prefer the actual food taste over the…

Hi, I was just getting ready to post and ask how many of us there were over 100 lbs overweight. Don't worry about the numbers because they are just a measuring device.

First let me congratulate you on your decision to lose the extra pounds. It was a wise move. In your blog you stated that you don't know how you gained the extra weight with your fitness level, eating habits, etc.. May I suggest getting your hormone levels checked? Especially your thyroid. Sometimes just a point or two is…
