Thanks everyone!!!
Elaine1951- We started eating alot healthier. I was such a cheese and pasta lover. (Pasta always had to have sausage in the sauce
Man I miss that!) Now we use ground turkey we found at Wal-Mart that only has 1g of fat in it for 4oz. In '99 my Dr. put me on a diet that consisted of no more that 25g of fat a day. It worked for a while then I went back to the old ways. Now it is a lot easier to find low fat and fat free stuff. We also watch our calorie intake but focus mainly on the fat intake. A lot of people preach to me about the fat free stuff having more calories in it so that is just as bad. We know this and that is why we just don't pig out on them. But obviously it has worked for us this time.
I know people will probably say that this is cheating but we also have been taking Mega-T green tea diet pills. They are all natural. It has helped. It helps to speed up your metabolism and help with cravings. Not sure how much of it is the eating better and exercising as it is the pills. I think that they seem to be helping some. My husband didn't take them for a week and didn't lose anything and then he started taking them again and he lost 3lb for that week. Not too bad.
That is all we are doing. It works for us but not for all. My mom tried to do the low-fat diet and she had problems with it and couldn't do it. This time something just clicked and we said no more and have stuck to it this time. Good luck
