But things went a bit wonky. Couldn't get on! So here it is- rewritten.

Dump the junk food! The closer you stick with Mama Nature, the better off you'll be! Figure the actual price per pound- potato chips are more costly than fillet mignon! Think as you shop! If you don't have it in the house, it is hard to eat it! Avoid white foods! White rice, white flour, white bread, etc. Eat more raw and whole foods.

I make a dip from yogurt, parmesian or blue cheese, a spoonful of mayo and some herbs (it is nice to toast THAT herb in a dry frying pan and then use a full fat yogurt ) add some carrot and celery sticks, maybe some raw mushrooms, broccoli, cauliflower, heck, most raw veggies, and "pig out"- it's good for you! When you are stoned, veggies are delicious!

Go for walks, especially when it is cold. You burn a lot of calories. Even 10 to 15 minutes a day makes a difference over a year!

Make soups! They are mostly water...coming in at zero calories! Nice and warming after one of those walks. They are also a great way to get rid of left-overs.

In summer, make salads and thin that veggie dip to make a low calorie salad dressing. Raw is good! I'm having a shrimp salad for dinner tonight. I don't care if it is winter! I like shrimp salad!

Incidentally- I've lost 65 pounds so far. About 40 to go! :thumbsup: - Granny:hippy:
