What comes to your head when you hear the word exercise?For lots of us we automatically think gymnasiums, workouts, treadmills and things like that.Something you should know is that ANY kind of exercise will do your weight loss/management a ton of good.If you are not currently physically active (like me most of the winter) doing little things can make a big difference in how you look and

I didn't have a very good weigh-in last night, actually gained a bit!I kind of expected that weight gain though, I havn't weighed in for two weeks and I did eat lots of Easter candy, and ham.The big thing here is that I havn't given up!Today I am right back on my plan and will stick with it. I'm sure I'll see a weight loss this week.The lesson here is not to give up hope because of a small

If you are wondering what to do with all that left over ham, here's a great recipe you can easily whip up. First you'll need some garden vegetables, as many different ones as you like, you don't have to use them all: sliced carrots, (2/3 cup) green beans, (1/2 cup) peas, (1/2 cup) corn (kernals not creamy), (1/2 cup) sliced parsnip, (2/3 cup) diced turnip, (2/3 cup) diced cabbage, (1 1/2

There are probably as many ideas about what constitutes a serving size as there are fish in the ocean! If in doubt you can always read the package labels. The labels will tell you how much is a serving (16 chips, 1/2 cup, etc) and how many calories, how much fat, and how many vitamins and minerals are in each serving. Use this information as your guide. Some things don't come in packages with

So, what are some of the things we learned about losing weight and staying healthy from the websites in yesterday's post?Let's see, we should eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables each day. These nutritious foods provide us with fiber, vitamins and minerals that help fight several diseases including heart disease and stroke.We should choose whole-grain foods such as oats, whole-grain

Now that we've given some thought to where we want to go with our weight loss/management we must now plan our way ahead.As I mentioned before 'diets' are not always the best way to go. Not only are they NOT tailored to us, going on a diet means that eventually we will 'go off' our diet and return to our previous eating habits.The best way to lose weight and keep it off is to create a completely

I believe that losing weight is a very personal thing. That's why I think that the vast number of "Diets", that are popping up everywhere, don't work.After all, how do the people writing these diets know you?Fact is, they don't. No one knows you but you. They don't know what you like to eat, whether you jog two miles every day or spend your awake time at your job, or anything else about you.You

Hi folks,I would like to start this blog about Healthy Eating and Living because it is something that I am quite passionate about.I know there are hundreds, even thousands of web sites about this topic but a new voice is always (usually) welcome.I have been a member of Weight Watchers for many years and still enjoy attending the meetings and living the lifestyle that they suggest. I have little
