I mix a little juice with seltzer water. That cuts the calories and sugar in half, but it's still a lot healthier than pop (soda for you non-Pittsburghers). I am also one of those people who DOES use artificial sweeteners, but I'm trying to make the conscious decision to drink more water. I was feeling really good when I…

I have a brand that is combined with vitamin C. I used it mostly to boost immunity but it also had the bpnus effect of helping clear up some of my acne (even at 31, I still struggle with it). I don't know that it's done anything for my weight loss - but I haven't gotten really sick since using it - and I did escape the…

Good for you! My husband and I just taught our youth group a lesson on goal setting and how to set yourself up for success rather than failure. It sounds like you've realized the value of that. That is a really big step! :happy: (Now, OUR next step is to get rid of the Mountain Dew and candy in the house...!)

Thank you, everyone! I kind of had a feeling that walking was probably going to be my best bet, but I still wanted to hear from others who had been there.

I've got four of…

Ooh! Another thing that has worked for me is substitutions. I LOVE to cook and pretty much taught myself. A few years back, I started making changes - little, gradual ones. We shifted from white bread to whole wheat (and now they have white whole wheat that is almost as healthy). To make meat go further and cut calories, I…

You can add me! I am in the same boat - about 5 feet tall and about 155 lbs (at least it's pretty well-distributed and hubby never complains)! Still, diabetes and heart disease run in my family and I refuse to let that become my "destiny". I hate exercise, and unfortunately lost my job recently and am home most of the day,…

:-P Hey, the weather isn't the best, but I can't complain...I've lived here all my life and this is the first "White Christmas" I can remember is a really long time. Bonus: my hubby had my snow tires put on yesterday. I am UNSTOPPABLE!
