Gosh crusher, maybe you don't need to lose much. Maybe you just need to take 30 minutes a day and do some easy exercise. That's what changed my world.
No gyms, no fancy programs. Just simple food and walking for an hour once or twice a week with 3o pound backpack, situps, pushups....etc.
I drink beer and cocktails but mostly eat simple good food and NO FAST FOOD, and sorry no Mexican Jilbertos of any sort ....except once a week for either. Lynnie

OMG Nature I don't have time for that fancy stuff!
Actually (and thanks Lynnie) I DO eat really healthily (is that a word?) - my problem is too much of everything...calories in vs. calories out.
The challenge is to substitute something else for food as comfort / stress relief / pleasure. I work out, just not enough during the week. I practice yoga and KNOW what I'm supposed to do, stress relief wise, but finding the strength to do it all is another thing altogether!
I love to eat! Love to enjoy great food, wine, cheese, chocolate. How to just have VERY small portions and treat it all more like fuel is the issue.

Well crusher, (one last post to end the day)
I guess your bottom line is just desire and discipline. That's it. If we can strategize that ..... it can happen.
Your key words seem to be stress and too much comfort food. I know these words well.
Many of us need to live life so much more simply than we do. If we manage to accomplish this, we will be free to be healthy to live zestfully and to love fully.

Ofishul Participant List
These are all the bold dudes and dudettes that want to get in to bikini, and Borat thong shape by summer.
Will they hit their goals? Who will be the King or Queen winner of this event?
It is too early to tell, but i think that i am going to be making a lot of money. I forgot to ask, but Susan, what is my cut in this deal? Salary, or commission? If it is OK with you, i would rather go with commission, cuz i really don't believe that most of these people are really taking this seriously.
Good Luck

Zip, you forgot yourself on the list of participants. What is that 17 total fatties?!
Don't count your coin too quickly... I'm sure to be in the winners pool.
Yesterday I ate a small salad for lunch and a bowl of soup (not too bad considering I was at a restaurant that serves salads that top out at 850 calories a piece)
Went to Sprouts for whole foods on the way home. Then I continued to eat the goods as I put them away. Including but not limited to....
Strawberries
Crab salad out of the deli bowl
Some Feta cheese
Many small pickles
More strawberries
Later in the evening I prepared today's lunch of Tuna Salad...where I ate a few green olives that were going in the mix and then several taster bites.
Thankfully no booze was involved. So I'm DOWNNNNNNNN .2!!
KickAss, I'm on my way??!!! At this rate... I'll be payin'

Nature, I also had coffee and aloe juice with fresh oj for breakfast at 6, then oatmeal at 8.
Nature, what do you think of a nice big breakfast and lunch and then small dinner and no food after 6:30pm ? I think all you eat after 6pm or so "accumulates". Jess Wondering ......

Yeah, Americans on the SAD diet typically eat not enough in the morning and then too much in the evening. Generally they eat way too many carbs and protein for dinner which turns them into Shamoo's.
I wouldn't say don't eat anything after 6:30PM but you should consider what you eat.
Certainly a good healthy breakfast is important. But generally what happens to the body is the more you stuff in your stomach the more your stomach wants you to stuff something in there. So if you eat a big breakfast your stomach wants a big lunch/dinner, etc.
FWI worth I went to a seminar two weeks ago by a guy named David Wolfe. IT was really inspiring. He's one of the top nutritionists around. He's pragmatic w/o being dogmatic. Even though he's vegan and eats almost entirely raw he's not preaching that "you" should do the same. "Open to grace and do your best" was a quote from him. I like that.
I bought his book called Superfoods and it really opened my eyes even wider into nutrition. It's not all about Vitamins, minerals and protein. There's so much more like viable probiotics, antioxidants, active enzymes!, coenzymes, essential fatty acids, polysaccharides, bioflavonoids, polyphenols, and a whole long long list of other things I hardly ever considered.
Just for fun here's his top ten Superfoods (A superfood as roughly being defined as a food that has dozens of unique properties, not just one or two).
Gogi Berries
Cacao (raw chocolote) yes!
Maca
Bee Products (honey, pollen, royal jelly, propolis)
Spirulina
AFA Blue-Green Algae
Marine Phytoplankton (essentially the basis of life on this planet)
Aloe Vera
Hempseed
Coconuts
Honorable mention:
Acai
Camu Camu Berry
Chlorella
Inca Berries
Kelp
Noni
Yacon
Hey Lynne: take this quiz and report back, please :-)

anyone else for that matter. It's certainly not totally accurate but it gives you a pretty good idea of where your constitution is. It nailed me for being almost totally physically Pitta which there is no denying.

Susan,
I didn't forget to put my name on the list, I'm not participating.
I think dieting is stupid.
You only live once, eat everything, and as much as you can.
