On Weight loss is attainable with a little effort, vigilance

great article.....
I think SNL did a skit with the same slogan "Eat Less,Move More".
I know how it feels to be obese and have been through ALOT of failed fad diets, and bogus OTC diet pills.
I started at 140(sz 8). Several yrs later I was at 218 (sz 18 was tight) and miserable.
I went to my family doctor. She prescribed an appetite suppressant and a food vs. activity journal(what an eye opener)to jumpstart my lifestyle change. Four months later, no more pills but continued the journal.
Today I'm at 150 and still losing.
Some of my tips.....
I parked at the back of the lot when going to work and took the stairs. Short walk 3-5x a week.
Ate what I like with portion control (my calorie limit was 1400) and allow myself the sweets (if I haven't used all my calories for the day or I would burn the calories I had already used up for the day to earn my sweets). 1 mile walk = 100 calories
Most importantly.. I took baby steps. I would add/modify 1 lifestyle change every couple weeks.
Everyone has their own opinion on weight loss. Just wanted to share what worked for me in hopes that it will help some one else.

On Kids and fundraisers: What are the limits?
Posted on November 24 at 2:58 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
I never allowed my children to participate in "junk" fundraisers. I simply told them no, and tossed the forms in the trash...
until our
elementary school started a Run/Walk Fundraiser.
Make a simple donation (whatever you can afford at the time). Ask a few close family members for a few bucks. Parents can join in the day of the walk. Your done.
No pressure on kids, no door-to-door sales, no pick up/delivery of junk, no trying to collect from people that ordered and don't pay.
It encourages a healthy lifestyle, and ALL the money goes to the school.
Love it!
