Substitute Yogurt for Mayo
“When making tuna salad, use 2 percent Greek yogurt, about 75 calories for half a cup, instead of mayonnaise, about 450 calories for half a cup. Greek yogurt has the same texture and creaminess as mayonnaise but far less fat and calories. I use the tangy Greek yogurt as a lower-cal replacement anywhere I’d regularly use sour cream or mayo.”

I love the tip about substiting greek yogurt for mayo.

However I think I'll keep my latte and the calcium that goes along with it!!!

I just simply whip up the cauliflower in the food processor and add fat free mayo and coarse kosher salt and it tastes great.  I usually serve that to my family with grilled salmon and sprinkle roasted flax on all!

Really lowering your portion sizes in itself could be a huge help for weightloss. That and eating healthier food is great for you.  I've actually been getting a bunch of free samples from www.TheGuiltFreeShop.com.  Which has helped me save and lose weight.  I recommend this to all my friends

The best thing available (IMHO) on the market that realistically deal with issues of over consumption and weight loss is a recently released book (not expensive) called "The Cosmic Diet." Its a must read for any of us battling with these issues. Get it on Amazon, B&N, etc.

About a year and a half ago I ballooned up to 235 pounds. I became embarrassed and increased my walking to a mile or two a day. Changed from eating high calorie snacks to eating apples and other fruit. I also watch how much food was on my plate and lowered the amount of starches. Now my wieght is 185.

You can try the hCG diet.  It works it worked for me I lost 18 pounds.  I feel so much better physically and emotionally.  A great resource for the diet is www.hcgcompletediet.com  I got started there and it has been wonderful

It's all about being active all day long, I lost lots of weight because of my most recent job. I break walls with a sledge hammer all day long lol. Its a great way to tone my muscle and to burn lots of calories.
