I'm gonna jump in here, as guess I didn't see this thread before now. (don't remember, anyway.)
I've been on my "new eating plan for health" since January. Cut out regular sodas, pastries, whites, starches, cheese, lunchmeats, sandwiches... and have been keeping a daily food journal. Am faithfully going to the gym 2 days a week with a trainer and also cardio on the eliptical machine.
Basically I eat healthy & am watching portions and snacking;
protein every meal, lots of veggies (cooked and uncooked), fruit, (5-7 fruits & veggies each day), no processed foods, hot tea a couple times a day...lots of water..several vitamen supplements. Snacks are mini-popcorn, 1 pce. dark chocolate, apple etc. and eating about 5 times a day.
Have lost ##'s slowly, but feel so much better..not tired & sluggish. So, far..I've lost about 12# and would like to lose about 15 more.
Thanks to whoever started this one.
