      • Let Your Fingers Do the Worrying
        05/31/07
        More from Judy's mideast travels:

      • Travel Can Be Thinning
        05/31/07
        From Judy:

        They say that travel is broadening and these days, that usually means gaining weight. When you leave home, you leave the foods that you routinely eat and are faced with what is available during your travel and once you arrive. Sometimes, of course, the food can be good, in fac

      • Let Go of Stress
        05/22/07
        Here's what Nina wanted to share today:

        I had leftover cheeseburger and steamed zucchini, along with a few strawberries, and coffee with milk for breakfast today. What does this have to do with letting go of stress? It has to do with letting go of certain "rules" that we

      • Sugar for Fibromyalgia Pain Control (and Weight Loss)
        05/21/07
        We have heard from a number of weight loss clients who also suffer from fibromyalgia that sweet and starchy snacks like breakfast cereal, as well as carbohydrate meals such as pasta, particularly eaten in the afternoon and evening, helped relieve their pain.

      • Emotional Eating
        05/16/07
        Does these scenarios sound familiar? Your to-do list gets unweildy and you can't stop thinking about a pepperoni pizza. A poor night of sleep (or 2 or 3 or more!) leads you to reach for food every time your energy wanes? Does a draining conversation with a friend or relative drive you to ic

      • Simon says: Wash your windows
        05/15/07
        Wash your windows now that spring is here. It is great exercise for your arms and waist. I would help except my legs are too short.

        For most people, the more support you have, the more likely you are to succeed. Weight loss is no exception: people who have a weight loss buddy, regularly scheduled exercise with others, and someone with whom to share your progress (the bad and the good!) lose weight more successfully and keep it

      • Food Assault
        05/07/07
        Yesterday's lunch and tea party get-together to which I took my 5-year old daughter (and 2 and 3 year old sons) was absolutely lovely. The weather was perfect for sitting outside under the shade of the oak trees, the girls were thrilled to be dressed as princesses, and a great time was had by
