Valkyrie-Now if only I could stop eating cheese. I should go vegan.

See, we have another thing in common !!! Cheese is my downfall (and potatoes of ANY kind).
James, it has been in studies that if you make ONE simple change. without any effort, you can drop 20 lbs in a year. This is without dieting and exercise. For instance, if you take cream in your coffee, switch to a low cal substitute. If you drink regular cola change to diet cola. Now doing this and adding some exercise will increase and speed up the action.
I have always believed that carbs were not our BEST friend, but in the end, it's ALL about calories and exercise. A little bit of fat
in your diet helps you feel satisfied.
I KNOW YOU CAN DO THIS! The way I look at it, one substitution taking a year to lose 20 lbs...well what else are you doing during that time?
A BIGGIE-I don't know if you drink beer, but BEER IS THE ENEMY!
Oh, I know it's the best on a swealtering day, BUT IT'S THE ENEMY!!! G & Ts are much better-weight wise.
GET BACK ON YOUR PLAN! RAW-RAW!
