This is where I was a few months ago and I have to share a book that really helped me take a new approach. Dr. Joel Furhman's "Eat to Live". While I don't embrace every single concept in the book it helped me immensely! :)

Hey, I've lost 22 lbs since late July because my cholesterol was up a bit. Just reduced carbohydrate intake significantly. Eat mostly grilled meat or fish, green salad, steamed veggies, fresh fruit. NO carbonated beverages or sugar permitted. I do eat cereal or a bagel for brkfst and sometimes put croutons on my green salads. If you have Trader Joe's near you, they have "Better Than Cream Cheese"

@Opus #6 I'll have to try drinking water at dinner, and most of my other meals. So far I have stuck to English Breakfast and Earl Grey tea instead of coffee.

@Flora -- If I can look anything like Gina Torres, I'll be MORE than happy :)

@Mommy Mia I'm starting a walking date with a friend. She's in a similar situation to you. Do you have anyone to walk or work out with? We just

Change in diets are just not fun. I am going to go over a major change in the way I eat over this next new year and you can bet that there will be grumbling involved.
Hang in there, you'll feel so great when you have achieved your goal!

I feel your pain. I am way more overweight than you are. Even at 6' tall, the extra is showing for sure. I need to lose about 65 lbs to be about average. I always promised that if I got close to 200 I would diet-well, 200 was quite a few lbs ago!

Your idea about the sodas is a good one. By not drinking our calories, we make caloric eating more special. And water tastes good with dinner if it is cold. I keep a pitcher in the fridge and put it out on the dinner table. The kids don't ever ask for juice anymore. And in the winter there are fun hot teas/coffees. GL!
