Mrs Dash,I've had a huge long,long term habit of repeatably drinking two liter bottles of cola or just cans that I take to work,try to buy caffeine free if its possible.And continuously eat pretzels every day,which have too much salt(sodium) on them.I've been hooked to this stuff for 25-40 years.I wonder if eliminating this can be done.I'd just began to drink water.I hope this can reduce seizures.Tim Baldwin

make sure you don't skip meals & even have healthy snacks about 2 or 3 times a day. Try your best to stay away from soft drinks (if you drink them) & reduce sodium intake!!!!! Sodium, besides MSG - a lot of sodium is so unhealthy. Do your best when grocery shopping to find products (seasonings) with low to no sodium. Of course process foods have a great amount of it cause it helps with flavor. If you do buy meals like that to have every so often, read up on them first or if at the store read the labels.
I was on Jenny Craig for about 2 months. The great thing about J.C. is that they do watch your sodium in take and teach you what's the best products to buy w/low sodium.
Weight watchers is a great diet - but there processed foods at the grocery store are full of sodium. My sister asked her doctor about diets and that was the only thing that he said was not healthy about W.W. was the sodium in there meals.
Oh don't think I'm recommending diets for you to try. I'm just telling you about what I've learned when on Jenny Craig, from doctors, etc.
Have you ever used the seasoning called Ms. Dash? Great seasoning and very low in sodium. they have a web page that tells you all about it. Also has some really good & healthy recipes.
Then there's the books "Eat This, Not That", "Drink This, Not That", etc. Great books to have. Provides you with all kinds of information of the correct things to eat not just at home but at restaurants, fast food, etc.
mrsdash.com
eatthisnotthatbook.com
If you ever what to try something to work out with besides swimming, they now have some great products that really help.
I have a toning tube. Helps tone the muscle in my arm. I also have a waist wrap to ware when I walk and work out. I also use dumbbells.
One thing I have not tried working on is excesses for my stomach. I had back surgery in 2006, then hurt it again. I have on of those Bender Balls. I do use it, but not like I should cause of my lower pack.
anything else let me know. but low to no sodium, 3 good meals, 2 to 3 healthy snacks (fruits & veg.), and exercises 3 time a week or every day really works!!!! oh and a lot of reading up. you don't need to buy books, surf the web for info.
and if you want to buy books I really recommended just buying off the Internet then city stores unless it's a used book store or they're it's on sell. my sister just spent over $150 on healthy eating. I got on amazon found the same books for great princess.
I wish you all the best =)

Jim....that is a good start. Besides you don't want to loose it all overnight, that is the wrong way to do it.
Doing it slow and easy like that it becomes more of a daily habit and more liable to keep it off that way.
Best of luck to all and keep smiling

to louse that weight Jewl how much are you trying to louse I'm trying to louse
60lbs & I've only lost 3lbs.

Hi Jewl,
Have you tried drinking sparkling water? I've been drinking Pelligrino with a
twist of fresh lime. It's very refreshing! I have also mixed it with juice and
that is refeshing too. I want to lose twenty pounds, so I know what you are
going through. Take care.

Well the apartment is under way and now all that is left is the garage but being
Austin we have to wait for a cool/rainy day. Ha Good luck with that.
So today I started exercising once again. Rocky and I went to he pool. It is a
1/2 mile round trip, so I got a walk and a swim in at the same time.
I had lost 23 pounds before we moved to Georgia back in Oct 2009 but his parents
only believe in fried foods and biscuits and gravy every Sunday morning, so I
gained 28 pounds back. UGH
Now I am going to lose it all again and this time keep it off.
First thing is to ditch the Coke. Not an easy thing to stop drinking.
I hate the taste of water, it is so bland and does not quench my thirst in the
least. But I have to get this weight off. My legs, back and hips have been
hurting me like crazy and I know it is from the weight.
Wish me luck, I will keep you informed.
