New Members	Hi, new to the idea of counting calories	Jan 17 2008 21:09 (UTC)	1
Hey - I know what you mean. I tell my husband that I am starting Slim Fast & he comes home with Tostito Scoops! Grrr. I'm also new to the calorie counting thing, but it seems to be pretty effective! I'm able to keep an eye on what I am eating much better than I was with Weight Watchers, or doing whatever I wanted. Today I went out and bought the Best Life Diet book - I don't watch Oprah, but I guess she is pretty close with Bob Greene? Well, his advide seems to be pretty smart, and he is a fan of SF. Plus, I got Calorie Counting books, one for at home & one I can keep in my bag for when I am out. Hopefully they will help me make smarter decisions. It's just hard to break the habits that I have, like snacking on my daughters snacks - goldfish, string cheese, etc (she'll be 3 in april). Anyway, good luck!! And feel free to drop me a line if you need a push, or just need to vent. Olivia
Fitness	whats the best exercise that will burn calories the fastet?	Jan 17 2008 20:56 (UTC)	4
Thank you so much for this!! It's a fantastic list. And I also agree with the other posters - Kickboxing is an excellent calorie burner.

What about Eggplant & Roasted Peppers or Sundried Tomatoes? You can add arugula, too, for a little dark leafy veggie.
Weight Loss	SLim Fast DIet success so far.	Jan 15 2008 18:44 (UTC)	203
Hi Everyone!!! I am new to CCP & to slim fast - i did it about 15 years ago, when I was in high school. Now I am married, and have two kids, and decided to start again. I couldn't deal with Weight Watchers anymore, and grabbing the shakes has been fantastic, at least for the last two days. I'm nervous, though, about the weekends! When my husband is around, he wants to go out & get sandwiches & go to places like Panera (which I loooooove) so I think that is going to be tough, but I am really trying to stick with it. I have the shakes for breakfast & lunch (love the french vanilla & strawberry), and a muffin snack bar in the AM, and I'm trying to eat more fruit - oranges, apples, pears. I have a question - does anyone know if there are any calories in a cup of hot green tea? I could seem to find on the site. Thanks!!!! I'll keep you all posted. Oh, BTW, I am trying to lose 75 lbs. Wish me luck, and good luck to all of you!!!!
