Our website began as a personal source of diet support for sisters Suzanne, Jennifer, and Amy. The site has grown considerably based on the feedback of the many visitors and sister chicks that found us and decided to call the website home. Our community has grown from 3 sisters to over 70,000 registered members! Together, we provide the most supportive free weight loss website online!
There has been a lot of buzz about the Hungry Girl cookbook since it was published just two months ago. Author Lisa Lillien is well known for her blog at www.hungry-girl.com and has spent several years creating lower calorie versions of favorite foods. A published cookbook seemed only natural.
"As I get bigger, my world gets smaller." This was the painful theme of Susan Blech's life as she gained and gained and gained, to a staggering 468 pounds. Not that unheard of, you say - but Susan was once a bodybuilder. Many people may wonder how somebody can possibly go from such an extreme to another. It's zero to sixty. Daylight to dark. Why doesn't something click before one gets to this point? Where is the slap in the face, at 200, or even 300 pounds? For every person in disbelief that this could happen, there is also somebody that understands Susan. Even if there aren't words to explain why somebody 'allows' themselves to gain 300 pounds, I can assure you there is an unspoken connection for many when they read Susan's story. It may be at varying levels, but the connection is there.
Are you at home? Look around, what do you see? If you see a neat and tidy home, with everything meticulously placed and clean, then you are probably in decent physical shape. If you're surrounded by clutter, then you probably have too much junk in your trunk. In 2007, a study revealed that those who are neat and tidy are more likely to lose the weight and keep the weight off. Those that are disorganized are more likely to stay overweight or regain weight once lost. This isn't true for everyone - we all know at least one overweight neat freak and a few skinny slobs. But many of us may be surprised to learn that our clutter helps keep us fat. A new book by Peter Walsh, Does This Clutter Make My Butt Look Fat?, offers advice and tactics to help us get our clutter under control, and get our booties in line with it!
