I'm a tea junky, too.

Add me to your list too! It will be great to get this kind of support from my favorite place on the internet. Not sure I want to see any Speedo shots of the guys on these threads though LOL!

After I stopped drinking coffee, I got into herbal teas like Yogi Tea, Traditional Medicinals,etc. I have my own manchurian home brew fermenting away on my radiator. One of the best things for weight loss is apple cider vinger. A tablespoon in a 8-12 ounce glass of warm water with some raw honey.

[retrokitten]

You're added. I hope we don't have to institute a no Speedo police. LOL!!

[PennsylvaniaMom]

Please add me to your ping list...I am looking forward to reading this thread when time permits.

[retrokitten]

police=policy D'oh!

[retrokitten]

Oh wow! That's really cool. I just buy it at the store. :-D

[retrokitten]

You're added!

What does your tag line mean? My mother gave me a mug yesterday that said that.

There are now some white or semi-white pasta products with a much better glycemic rating than traditional white pasta. They have more fiber, and some are fortified with omega-3s.

thanks for that info...like I said, if it's not at the grocery store, I'm not going to look for it.

According to one book I read, carbs - even "white carbs" - are ok if they are eaten with protein, which slows down the glucose process. The protein slows down and neutralizes the carbs. In this theory, pasta with lean meat sauce would be better than pasta with a light tomato or cream sauce.

"No one ever departs from their desires."

Which is why I'm glad I found the Skinny Cow ice cream bars - big, but low cal (110 calories), low fat, and low sugar (no added sugar, uses Splenda). The problem is I almost always eat two.

On the average, a person should drink eight 8-ounce glasses every day.

Junk science. Have water handy, and drink when you are thirsty. This myth arose when military research found that this was the amount generally needed per soldier per day. What the simplistic advisers seeking to sell water jugs don't tell you is that any amount of this average water need is received from FOOD. That includes meat, soup, other beverages, vegetables, etc.

Don't sweat the water, and it surely is no weight loss cure.

I just do in moderation...I eat what I can put in the palm of my hand...which isn't very big. I'm beginning to believe that's the best rule of thumb...And as for firming up my body, I can load on the protein.

[peacebaby]

apple cider vinegar with raw honey...I'll try that...I've got 10 more lbs to lose to get to a perfect weight, and for my age, that's gonna be really tough...grocery store list for tomorrow includes apple cider vinegar.

Try to get Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar or any ACV with the 'mother', that brown fuzzy stuff at the bottom of the bottle.
