I’ve always been lucky when it comes to my weight, and not having to watch what I eat. I can easily eat 6 meals a day, drink 5 cans of soda, and top it all off with a bowl of ice cream and not gain an ounce. At least, I used to be able to do that. Once I turned 31, I noticed I had this extra 5 pounds attached to me, and not in any of the places a girl would appreciate 5 extra pounds, if you know what I’m saying! I realized that I don’t have the metabolism of an 18 year old anymore, and for the first time in my life, I didn’t fit into my pants, and I wasn’t pregnant. My husband assures me it looks good on me, and maybe it does. I’m up to 115 lbs now, and I’m still considered to be underweight for my height, which is 5 foot 8 inches. I’m fine with the extra pounds, and I’m nowhere near having a gut or even a muffin top, but that doesn’t mean I can’t find out about weight loss and staying in shape.

LookCut.com is a new weight loss portal that has information about virtually any aspect of weight loss, from meal plans and routines, to diet and discoveries, to fitness and news about the weight loss industry. I really like that the site has information on what they call “the overlooked and overpowering affect of age related physiological decline”. Isn’t that what I’m experiencing? Obviously I’m not at a point where I need to diet, or go on a meal plan, so this site is perfect for me since it has information for all types of weight loss goals. The site offers articles, forums, and even a store where you can buy vitamins and weight loss supplements. The forums aren’t that active - there’s definitely an opportunity here to build a community, and I’d like to see some tools added for people to track their goals and weight loss.

Do you eat your veggies? I’m a classic example of a parent who says “Do as I say, not as I do”, when it comes to eating vegetables. I’ll typically make one or 2 veggies with each meal, but I’m extremely picky about the veggies that cross my own lips. I like corn, I tolerate peas, I like beets (I know - go figure!), and I like broccoli and cauliflower. Hmm, I think that’s about eat. My kids LOVE spinach and lap it up but I don’t touch the stuff. I know you’re supposed to eat some green food at every meal to get your daily dietary supplement, but I’ll admit, I don’t do that most nights.

For those of you who have the love / hate relationship with veggies that I have, you can now drink your veggies! I know what you’re thinking - is that anything like V-8? Blech, no! This is a supplement you just mix with water, and drink. Easy peasy! And right now, you can try before you buy with this My Daily Veggies Free Sample.

Sounds like a great way to get your veggies in when you’re on the go. For instance, I’m on a business trip right now, and for the past two days I’ve eaten burgers and fries and plenty of other fried food. You can probably hear my arteries clogging from where you’re sitting. My Daily Veggies would give me a little edge for times like this, with their recipe of 95% dried whole vegetables and 5% dried whole vegetable extracts. Fiber, minerals, and nutrients - no added salt, sugar, or preservatives!

I read in the news today that a new study shows that obese workers file twice as many workers comp claims as their skinnier co-workers. The study also said that those workers have higher medical costs (7 times higher) and 13 times more lost work due to injury. If that doesn’t make a good case for a company workout plan, I don’t know what does. I’d hate to think of my employer taking out secured loans to be able to cover the cost of those extra expenses.

How about discounts on Weight Watchers, or a free gym membership? How about a support group to help obese employees if they want to lose the weight? And most importantly, be supportive of ALL employees and understanding - don’t embarrass anyone on the job just because of their weight!

This story is just 10 kinds of sad. An obese boy in the U.K may end up being taken away from his family and put into foster care. The boy, who is 8, weighs 14 stones, or almost 200 pounds. My 37 year old husband doesn’t even weigh that much, and I’m quite sure he’s a lot taller than an 8 year old child. Connor’s mom says that the health care authority has made threats, but has not offered her any support in helping her son.

What a shame that it even came to this.

My husband just hasn’t been able to get back into the workout and exercise routine since the holidays. I’m not sure where he’ll go from here…it’s just tough to find time to cram in exercise and a whole diet routine when you’re busy with life. A name I’ve seen a few times in reference to weight loss is Herbalife. I knew several people that worked as independent distributors for the company back when I owned my website, because they bought advertising from me on more than one occasion! The company is still around, and has been helping folks lose weight for over 20 years. You can even visit the website and request a free sample of the products, and try before you buy. (Not a bad deal!)

I mentioned in the past that we’re working on getting my son to gain a few pounds. He’s been doing a lot better eating, and he’s remembering on his own to drink a Boost every day. (Boost is one of those supplement drinks high in protein and calories) He got on the scale the other day and was so disappointed when he realized he hasn’t gained a pound. I tried to explain to him that it will take time, but try explaining growth spurts and weight gain to a 7 year old! I am proud of him for working hard to eat better, but I don’t like to see him worry about it.

Do you remember when that new kind of potato chip came out a few years ago, and it was supposed to be healthier for you, because of the oil in the chips? What was the name of that stuff? Anyway, people were really turned off from it because one of the side effect was….uhh…constant trips to the bathroom. Ick! I guess if you eat the chips and go to the bathroom 4 times a day, you will lose some weight!!

I was reminded of that story when I heard about this new weight loss drug called Alli coming out this July. Which is better Alli or Hoodia? Alli is a drug, whereas Hoodie (it’s main competition) is an all natural plant. One of the main side effects of Allis is gas and loose stools. Bleah! I don’t know about you, but that is NOT a good trade off as far as I’m concerned!

I need to show a little self control. It’s girl scout cookie time, and between my husband and I, we bought 20 boxes. That’s not the self control issue though…because the cookies DO freeze well, and we’ll be eating them for a long time. The problem is with me. I can sit down and eat a whole sleeve of thin mints in a sitting. Eek! Yes, I have a great metabolism and won’t see any weight gain from that, but the sugar alone is enough to give me pause. And it’s hard to tell me kids they can only have 3 cookies when I’m eating 5 times that many!

Are you once of those people who bounces from diet to diet, fad to fad, trying to find the best diet for yourself? You’ve tried Atkins, you’ve tried South Beach, you’ve tried eating nothing but cabbage soup. Bleah! Wouldn’t it be great if someone had a site that honestly reviewed all of the diet plans out there, and gave you the real scoop, and REAL results on how each diet worked?

Ask and ye shall receive…you can now find diet reviews for countless diet plans, all in one place! The site is new, so there’s only one review so far, but check back, because a new review will go up every week! The current review is on the Best Life Diet, developed by Bob Greene. You may recognize him from the Oprah show!
