You sound just like me! Except for the part where you are joining a

gym. I have no intentions of doing that. I walk a lot at work,

unless I am in a hurry, then I take the shuttle or " taxi " as we call

it.

I eat gobs of food. Changes I have made are related to white flour

adn fat. Last Sunday I had half a bagel. Today I might treat

myself to another half. I live alone and hate to waste food, so

that probably saves me from doing that more often.

I have changed the some of the soups I make. I used to make rich,

creamy vegetable cheese chowder, now I make lamb and veggie soup.

This week was great, though. Since I cut way, way back on the candy

and ate coconut instead, I have lost from 149 (after eating) to 141

(morning weight). I realized it was the fat in the coconut when a

girl friend cried, " But Marta! Coconut is FULL of saturated fat! "

lol I realized what was causing the diarrhea I was having. Good

for me! Plus it is full of fiber and a lot of work to chew, so I

think we burn off quite a bit of the calories. Wishful thinking, I

know. I am going to put that in my diet section.
