Great tips!
I wanted to post these so everyone could see (just in case you're not reading comments)
Great tips from diadem8...
Great resources:
1. Weight Watchers Online--they're an excellent resource to let you know the best foods to eat for the amount of calories and fat you can have each day. The points system really works for me because it appeals to my budgeting mentality.
2. Dottie's Weight Loss Zone - dwlz.com - lists foods for tons of restaurants and fast-food places so you can know how many calories you're really eating. Do you know there is a dish at Macaroni Grill (a pork chop dish) that is the equivalent of eating five quarter pounders with cheese? And some pasta dishes that I have ordered there have so many calories and fat that I spend three days worth of points in ONE meal? I love this site because it helps me plan out what I'm going to order at the restaurant before I get there, and I stick to that plan.
3. Hungry Girl, at www.hungry-girl.com - gives great tips on ways to get the food you crave in lower calorie/lower fat ways. She sends out emails every day and htey totally rock!
4. A group of folks to work out with. Even if I don't run as fast as they do, the fact that they're waiting for me at 6:30 am makes me drag my rear end out of bed.
