It will be all about choices. I know some will be good & some not so healthy. It is a process & by so doing, I think I will make more healthy choices. I did keep a food diary once (on paper) for about 6 months & I lost weight & got healthier. Hopefully this will be even better, since I know the whole world could be watching. coffee with creamer coffee with green tea & creamer 3- 8 0z. cups water (going for 8 daily) 2 whole grain waffles 1 Tblsp. peanut butter 1 bananna 2 sm. clemintines well, off to a good start

The brand is Walden Farms...there are quite a few varieties...in my grocery store (Walmart) they are located with all the other salad dressings. The kind I have is Creamy Bacon...first one I have tried. Nutrition .....Calorie Free; sugar free; fat free; carbohydrate free; gluten free; & colesterol free. Everything on the nutrition label is 0; except sodium..160 mg. ...serving size 2 Tblsp. Some may not like the fact that one of the ingredients is sucralose. My main reason for buying ....I wanted something low cal to mix with my tuna like mayo. I have tried the ff mayos but abhor the taste. Yet to find one I like. I have seen the Walden Farms mayo advertized in mags, but that is not on the shelf yet. This taste OK to me, although there is some taste I cannot describe. I am going to try some of the other varieties as well.

Follow through with what I say I will do!	hmm...but since sucralose actually does have a few calories there must be SOME calories right? not enough to make a difference though. i was just thinking..."woah, calorie-free food?! this is awesome!"

Walking, Dancing Healthy Lifestyle Goal? 141lbs	iris_094 Jan 7 2009, 05:29 PM hmm...but since sucralose actually does have a few calories there must be SOME calories right? Iris- Yes the whole bottle has calories in it but not enough calories in 2 tbls. to document. I heard about this in a few other foods. Like "I can't believe its not butter" spray. No calories, no fat. This lady used a whole bottle a day and ask why she wasn't losing weight, come to find out the whole bottle has 500 caloreis in it. (I forget how much fat) That's alot of butter Joyful-You are doing great. It looks like you eat pretty healthy When I eat tuna, I always put tomato, onion, and jalapenos in it-So good!
