no offence but peanut butter is bad for you all salt and they took out the peanut oil and added the bad kind , salsa is great for you but I cant remember why. we try and enjoy food for what it is with out adding anything because you will always have to have  it or they wont eat it and why start a bad habit when you dont have to


I tend to agree, if you can find and afford either almond butter, or macademia butter, they're far healthier, IMO.

Not every one see's results from eating right and exercise alone, sometimes they may have a medical problem, or perhaps they're not doing the level of exercise difficulty needed.

There's not much point, however, if you're snacking between meals. My advice would be to cut the snacks right out; if you must eat between meals, eat fruit instead.

There's no magic secret to this: a healthy diet and regular exercise will see you in tip-top shape.

Regardless of how healthy I eat and how much exercise I do, I find it best to have atleast one or two days out of the month to be a lazy glutten.

Today, I'm having my first Dr Pepper, Nutter Butter, and Corn Dog in over 3 months. Monday, it's back to counting the carbs, sugar, and mostly drinking water and green tea.

I found that taking a break keeps me from having a grumpy attitude all the time. 


My birthday is Saturday, I plan on splurging a little, but haven't decided on what, yet.

I used to do that as a kid with my mother and it was fun eating the pb that 'I' made. Again, here I go with the purees. Heh. They do not taste like smooshed up veggies I promise you. They can go into just about anything, and if you didn't know it was a veggie or fruit puree added you would just think it is awesome tasting food. It used to take me about an hour a week to make enough to last for two weeks, I would freeze packets and just use them all week long.Like adding one to spaghetti sauce. Fruit purees are fantastic in breads like pumpkin bread and stuff like that. They will never know they just ate a full days worth of veggies!

Good idea, we used to juice a lot of stuff and have the purees left over and mixed them up in sauces but it can get expencive and if your body  isnt used to it can clean you out lol until you do get used to it, very healthy for you

When you look at the women winners, look in their eyes, and see the difference.

The site offers diets, blogs from contestants, a msg board for all kinds of interests, an exercise procram, and basically everything you'd need to change your body. You don't have to buy their stuff either. You have to use some if you want to win, but if you're really interested in making this change here it is.

It's my opinion that most of the women on here are not athletic, and are of the type that live in their minds. Dreamers, Nurds. After all, a LOT of subs are brilliant - one can see by the level of discourse. But not jockettes.

So you gotta learn all this stuff, and here's one of the best no BS places ever.

I'm one of those Doms that will have to put a sub on a strict exercise program, because I can't find the mind and body I want in one person. I'll take the mind. I can create the body.

Status: offline 		Ok, so tons of water, no processed foods, and smaller portions. I can live with that. I liked the cheese and crackers snack idea. Wheat crackers aren't bad. I've tried wheat bread and don't much like it. Though, the loaf bread isn't as bad as the buns they have out. I bake a lot of our foods. And I'm not sure how much this helps, but I also drain and RINSE the grease off of our scrambled hamburger meats with hot water before we eat it.

I personally think the water and exercise will help tons. We never got that much exercise and hardly ever drink water. That small change should make a world of difference. After cutting out unhealthy snacks, regular meals shouldn't be as bad.

Willpower has never been one of my strong points. I'm working on it honestly. I seem to be getting better at it. I've found that the more I want to look better (for myself), the more I strive to do better. Also, I don't want my kids growing up living unhealthy lives. I think they'll be pretty open to the changes because since the beginning of this year, I've been slowly working into more and more changes. I know it feels a lot better knowing we're getting more physical exercise and eating better.

This may sound silly. But, I've also found that if I try to change my physical appearance for anyone aside from myself and my kids, I'll never follow through. It has to be something I want to do for myself.

Thanks to all for the advice. It certainly hasn't fallen on deaf ears.

Sounds good , but I'm a diabetic, so I'll show a little restraint whatever I do.

If you walk, start slow and build to a brisk pace. Walking at normal pace wont do anything, fitness wise. Personally all the things i like, i should avoid, so while i still treat myself, i just have less. Okay its cheating, but cutting down is more bearable than giving up completely. Waters good, i sometimes add dilute to taste orange juice, just for a change. If the kids dont eat fruit, try making a pudding to disguise it, easy on the sugar though..... :)
