I’m not a big fan of yogurt either. It tastes a heck of a lot better dressed up and displayed in a bowl. Plus, the fat free plain yogurt has a heck of a lot less calories, no added sugar, and it fills me up! Which is more than I can say about a bowl of fruit loops.

I never was a fan of yogurt but those pics look fantastic! As for the food enthusiast types I’m definitely in group 3 at the moment but slowly working my way up to group 2. *sigh*

Alex-You’re not stuck! You can always start changing just little things here and there like cutting out dessert, taking your dressing on the side, or drinking more water. I’ve found by taking small steps, it makes the seemingly unsurmountable obstacle of losing weight much easier.

Kevin-That’s a noble goal and I’d be interested to hear about your results! I tried going all macrobiotic last year and found it was very difficult to go “cold turkey” on foods I had been eating for years(and I don’t even eat a lot of meat as is). It’s really a whole new way of life, and for me, I’ve found moderation is the key. I can still eat the foods I want to just in much more limited portions. I’d recommend checking out this book. I never fully went macrobiotic, but it did teach me a good deal about eating whole grains and healthier foods:

zoom!

flit, flit!

I thought I’d flit in and mention that since I’m trying to learn about cooking, I’m also considering going totally vegan for about two weeks (or as long as I can stand it) just to see what it’s like. I keep hearing of health benefits gained from boycotting dairy and red meat. it’s going to probably take me two weeks to switch over, and I’ll let you know how it goes. My motivation is curiosity mainly.

flit Those granola bars sound good. flit

oh ya, and I say this as someone who is absolutely addicted to a LOT of dairy products. and I like to grill steaks, chicken, and pork too. This will be quite a trip. flit At least I do like vegetables, fruit, and tofu. flit!

Hey good for you! I totally agree with you that adding seemingly innocuous pounds just snowballs until you’re stuck. I think I’m stuck, but thanks to your shared success, I’m a bit more motivated to try now and get out of the “just don’t give a damn” way of things. = )

I hear you on that. I’m trying to find ways to make eating healthy interesting. It has really come down to planning out meals in advance.

I love food blogging, but I hate what it’s done to my waistline. Err, not that I had much of one to begin with…
