When I did a recent search, I found Green Tea to be touted as somewhat better than Black. I also read where they say it is best to let the green tea leaves steep for at least ten minutes before drinking. This gives the tea leaf the chance to release the antioxidants it holds.

My BMI is 37.8. I am considered obese according to the BMI. If I get down to the weight I'd like, about 205, I will still be considered overweight. If I got down to the 184 or less that says I am 'normal,' people would think I am sick; way too small for me. BMI is not the best scale, go by your pounds and how you feel…

My hat's off to those of you that make hummus. I did it one time and it is not easy.

Sabra is very good, as are several quality store brands. I reccomend going to a local Mediteranean restaurant in your area and buying a pint from them. Stay away from the Athenos brand, as it has High-Fructose Corn Syrup in it. I like to just put hummus on any low-cal breads as my condiment and I like to eat it with fresh…

Hello, Allen. Welcome and good luck. James

I usually cut the spaghetti squash in half first and remove the seeds. It gets very hot so you need to use an oven mitt when handling it. The remainder of the squash freezes very well. I like to just mix it with stir-fry vegies and sometimes some low-sodium soy sauce. The nutty flavor is phenomenal.

I love coffee. I'm drinking it right now. Fluffehmama, what all are you putting in your coffee to have so many empty calories? I use skim milk and equal. That comes out to about 85 calories for the day for me. It is a drink I enjoy immensely; I'm not giving it up. NO way. ;) Good luck in your decision, James

Good Luck on your new journey. I. like you, knew I had gotten fat. There's no sugar-coating it. You can call it what you want, but it is what it is. However, you have to accept yourself for right now and for what you want to be. Listen, Man, if I can do this, you can and I'm proud of you for beginning. Obviously you see…

Thanks for your posting. You are quite the survivor, and an inspiration to us all. You GO Girl!!!
