In general, I eat very healthy. No fried foods except occasional eggs cooked with a small amount of butter. We never drink sodas, koolaid, or that stuff. You won't find hardly any boxed or canned goods, and NO chips or snacks in our home. We eat mostly fresh fruits and fresh veggies and lean meats. So we eat pretty healthy. BUT... I need to lose 60 lbs. I've started walking a mile each day except sunday and I work out lots on our home gym thingy... but I need a jumpstart that doesn't involve those diet pills... Anythoughts??

Funny you should ask....

I just talked to a couple of work friends and we are going back to weekly weight watchers meetings.

I find that being weighed every week and keeping track of my weight and my intake of calories keeps me honest.

I also bought a treadmill a couple of months ago. I try to "tread" 40 minutes a day atleast 5 days a week. I keep track of the claories I burn in that 40 minutes so I will know how much energy I need to expend to balance out that ice-cream cone I want.
