[b]My 2 cents[/b]

Okiewan, I couldnt agree more, everyone wants a quick fix with no work involved. I too have ballooned in the past 4 years and this year I am working hard to get back to healthy ways. I am eating low-cal, high nutrition, as described in the realage diet by Michael F. Roizen. That and now up to 48mins per day on my Nordic-Trac, have resulted in a 16lb weight loss in 19 days. By eating this way you never really get hungry because you can eat a lot of low cal foods to fill up. It has been proven that 6 meals a day are more healthy than 2 or 3 big meals. A sample days menu for me: 
          7:00am    3-4 cups hot green tea
                           1 serving hot oat bran(1/2 cup dry) talk about your fillers
                            1 cup mixed berrys with 1/2 container non fat yogurt on top
                           1 glass vanilla flavored soy milk
           10:00am  1 banana + 1 orange or tangerine
            12:00 noon Homemade vegatable soup + 2 slices french bread
              3:00pm  1 large fuji apple + tangarine
               6:00pm Nordic trac 48 min
               7:00pm Grilled or baked fish, baked sweet potatoe, steamed squash
                generally no after dinner snaks  just too full
       It seems like eating dinner right after exercise makes me not as hungry, as does drinking a lot of water thru out the day, but maybe thats just me. I also take a multi-vitamin + E & C, but I eat a few toasted almonds b-4 taking them to slow them thru the system( your stomach takes longer to digest fat and almonds are the good kind of fat. Find out how many calories it takes to support your ideal weight, eat no more than that and eventually you will weigh that much. Exercise speeds up the whole process. If you really want a wake up call take the realage test at [url]www.realage.com,[/url] take the time to do the long quiz, it may give you the same wake-up call it did me. Good Luck to all!
