Why eat fruit and Veggies?

Veggies help ward of diabeties, cancer and heart diease, among many other things.

I used to hate veggies as well, now I can eat them raw. I buy a big bag usually the "normandy or california mix "and mix them in everything. Spinach is very versitle, I put in in mac and cheese for the kids, omlettes, all my pasta dishes because it's the only way I can get them to eat them.

I heard this doctors say think of what plans do for our enviorment, now...think about what they can do for our bodies. They have natural cleaning abilities and help to rid our bodies of all kinds of toxins.

no bada kick mi fi seh dis...but I'm sitting front of a plate of ackee and saltfish, sweetpotato, 2 BIG dumpling, bannana and one brownstew SNAPPER...(wait, mi nearli figet bout the FESTIVALS) now mi no wah it fi eat...mi ago FEEL guilty...I too need to lose weight, but I've been working on it...all of my weight is in my hips AND BATTI...small up top, but WAGATAN a battam...d man dem love it, but I don't. So, I walk on my treadmill for 40mins 5 days a week...so far so go, I lose about 1 to 2lbs a week, would proably lose more, if mi leff di plate alone...cho...THE PLATE IS STILL LOOKING AT ME (RAHTID-- the FISH just WINKED at me, no mi really no hungry)...what's a WOMAN to do??????????

Lawd Jesus!!!! Don't sound like a problem to me. Your still loseing . I think losing most JA dishes are in its purest form, not a lot of added junk. Other than the Festival, sound like a pretty healthy meal to me.

Today I've had for breakfast:Protien fruit smoothiee made with backberries, rasberries, strawberries, whey protien, ice and orange juice. For lunch I'm having a fruit salad with cantalope, honeydue melon, almonds, kidney bean, organic spring baby mix, and peppercorn ranch dressing, with a baked sweet potato. I haven't descided on dinner. What are you all having?

What's up with exercise today, for me It's just cardo on the treadmill. I over did it yesterday, I can bearly walk. Monday's are me Mondays, I have the most spear time, I've descided to work my hardest on Monday.

How bout a weekly weigh in? What day would be good?

WEIGH IN...bway mi no know bout dat...mi no know if mi numba dep pon d SCALE.........DWL

Great concept. I am thinking about doing weight watchers with the ladies at work. I have started the more water drinking, but feels like I get water intoxication at times, so I am doing it slowly. My girlfriend (who was in the navy) and I weighed and measured ourselves two Sundays ago. She works out everyday and I do it maybe twice weekly. This is a great place to get support.

I was in another weight lost forum when a poster who was trying to loose weight stated" I almost can fit in my size 1 pants".

OK I have not been back since I read that post. I weigh in on Wednesdays. I started 2 weeks ago. Last week I lost a whole 1lb. OK tomorrow is a new day. I will let you know how I do.

size 1 OMG. 1 pound is great, you had to burn almost 3500 cal to lose the 1 pound...WTG I'm down another two pounds., now at 205. I haven't been this thin sinse before my last child. Let's not forget measurements, we may not think we are losing, when we gain muscle instead of losing weight.

Anyone practice meditation? I don't, but I popped in a relaxtion on my way from yoga yesterday, I was surprised at how relaxed and at one withh my self it made me feel. How has it helped anyone?
