Someone who has achieved a weight loss of over 100 pounds is one of the posters that has "good" advise. After all isn't that really what being healthy and maintaining a healthy weight is all about. Eating in moderation. I am still challenging that habit as I am the type that can stay on track as long as I don't indulge in…

That's not strange it is my favorite breakfast; I don't use the nuts but the cottage cheese with sweetner and cinnamon are excellent on whole grain toast. I call it my "cheese danish."

My ideal size, is the size which I can wear a bathing suit and not feel self-conscious. It has been said already but it isn't about the numbers it is about what makes you feel good when you wear it!

The first thing I would like to say is congratulations on your impressive accomplishment of 75 pounds lost. To be honest with you. I think that the labels we put on eachother; "skinny, fat, ugly, pretty, " are just wrong. I have had a problem with food all my life. A problem? Yes a problem because food is not just fuel or…

Eirish.............You are so right!

Hello Friend: I don't know if you are posting from the US, or another country. I think it is not fair of these OP to tell you to "get off that stuff," if they do not know your full history. I have suffered from both panic and anxiety, and these feelings are extremely devastating. Of course with all the possible side…

Let me see. First of all: I agree with the other poster, perhaps it is time to rethink this relationship. I have always believed that "looking good is the best revenge." Your spouse is very insecure, and apparently knows how to hurt you. Keep taking care of yourself, be healthy, be strong, and for God's sake trade in that…

Those are yummy combos!!!!!

Thanks for that Quark information, never heard of it, but will look out for some in the healthfood or upscale grocery. I also thought of Ricotta cheese. Ricotta is good for sweet or savory recipes as well.

I personally don't like low-fat products alot , because I feel they substitute one bad thing for another. Have you ever seen Neufchatel Cheese? Cream cheese actually was invented accidently by someone trying to make Neufchatel cheese. There is a product that I grew up eating though probably not available at a regular food…

I am guessing you are talking only about sweet snacks? I have come to the conclusion that if I want a healthy sweet snack i have to make it mayself. Yeah I know it takes time but for example: try making your own trail mix with dry fruits and nuts. I try to stay away from sulfured dry fruits. Dates are incredibly sweet and…

Congrats on your achievement, being healthy is work. In our society we want instant everything. To conquer over-indulgence is very difficult. You look beautiful. I also noticed that when you lost those pounds, you gained a beautiful smile! Keep inspiring others. Thanks.

Great Advise!

Thanks for sharing we over 50 peeps need encouragement too! Alot of us are mostly interested in health maintence, but looking good is awesome as well. Keep up the good work.......................and remember "sexy," has no age limit!!!!!

Hi I used to drink dairy milk but started to exhibit signs of lactose intolerance. I tried soy, rice, and almond milks, and found almond was the one I liked the best. Almond milk is excellant if you are trying to decrease you saturated fat an/or cholesterol intake, because it does not have either of those. Yes it has fat…

I concur.............there is a sense of "needing," to eat this buffet.

Interested that formula can be adapted by using several different research models but it says I should be eating 1900 calories a day I am eating 1000.............HUH

Thanks PSmith I look forward to talking to you more in the future.

sooo true!

Hi Kimi: I think this topic deserves a multi-perspective answer. I can not speak to the cost of healthy eating in third world countries from personal experience, but I know living in less developed countries is very difficult. It has been suggested that healthy eating is more costly; however, I think that those of a lower…
