Keeping a Food Diary & Buddying Up!

Grab your pen and paper, it's time to double your weight-loss!

Write it Down, Drop the Pounds
That's all it takes, according to some experts. People who write down what they eat, and keep a food diary every day, lose twice as much weight as others.

Plus, this whole blog and idea is about finding a buddy to work with to help keep you on track. A buddy can make sure you remember your motivation and is there to ask for advice, someone you can count on when your own will power isn't enough.

Good Luck!

I'm here to help YOU out.

As part of this process of losing weight and getting healthy, Barbara is going out on a limb with her buddies and really putting herself out there for you, and for her own health.

So what do I have to do with this?

My role will be purely a "Researcher" of the process. Barbara and I will keep an eye out on the latest health news that you need to know. We'll be looking on the internet for new studies, blogs about healthy lifestyles and finding helpful tips to keep you all on track.

I'll be the eyes and ears of the group, trying to find the information YOU need to succeed.

So here my first post:

1. Barbara has talked about it in her Health Alerts, and her One-a-Week... the importance of eating a big, and healthy breakfast. So why should breakfast be more than a cereal bar, and why do you need to eat so many carbs first thing in the morning?

2. Having a hard time keeping the weight off, after you go through the pain of losing it? It may NOT be your fault, but your hormones may be playing a big role in the problem.

3. There's a new side-affect to getting a stomach by-pass surgery, and the pain may be too much to handle. We're talking kidney stones here! I know from personal experiences (way too many to count) that these are NOT fun. If you are considering the surgery, you need to be informed!
