Congrats on your decision,I made my decision 3 years ago in January(i picked after holidays)I am 5'2" and was 158 pounds and 43 years old, I bought a wii and wii fit board and started a light aerobics work out with that and upped it ever so often and i just changed my diet to healthier foods ....more fruits and veggies , than fats or carbs in a meal and it fills you up....I didn't call it a diet , i called it a lifestyle change... I never had a goal about how much to lose , i just saw each week i was losing and got excited so it kept me going... I lost 50 pounds and it has been off for almost 2 1/2 years now... I am maintaining and so far so good...i still have a treat everyday, you shouldn't deprive yourself all together , thats when you have set backs.... good luck!!!! p.s. I bought the wii and board instead of going to Gym ... I knew i would not have an excuse not to work out if it was at home.... I live in Maine and I would have said "it's snowing i'll go tomorrow" and so on and so forth...and I still work out on it a couple days a week.... |

well I switched to greek yogurt about 2years ago, and now I can't eat regular yogurt to watery for me...but it is only i who eats it, my hubby can't stand yogurt now that my son has bought his own house , he buys his own yogurt, he also is a greek yogurt fan...it fills me up better and i don't feel so hungry later, but it is expensive but alot of stores have their own brand greek now which is slightly cheaper...plus look for coupons online or in paper... |

i eat quinoa all the time, i even made some for my sister in law and her family cause she has celiac disease...the kids who range from 5-10 LOOOVed it....i use it as a sub for little pasta like cous-cous and rice in many dishes , i also add lots of chopped veggies to it as a side dish, you can also eat it for breakfast like oatmeal add a little cinnamon and fruit , it is very versatile....there are plenty of recipes for it and even the cooking channels have started making it on some shows.... |

I make an easy dip or spread with plain greek yogurt and chipotles with adobo, you can put in as much or less of chipotles depending on how you like the spice...,i have also sauteed onions til carmel color and put it is plain greek yogurt as an onion dip, plus you can make just a dill dip with fresh dill...the ways to use the yogurt is pretty much endless... |
