For boomer weight watchers

We've always known that fruits and veggies are good to stay healthy and fight obesity. Here are a few easy tips I learned:

-Substituting a meal with cabbage salad helps to stay slim.
-Ripe tomatoes for breakfast (early AM )help reduce weight if done consistently for 2-3 months.
-Also, celery makes the body burn more calories than what it gives, so it's great for weight watchers!

Happy weight watching !

It seems to be a regular pastime these days and I don't like it one little bit.

Thanks for the good information, especially after a day of eating! Easter!

Those tips are a great reminder. I too need the reminder after Easter baskets!

I even had raw veggies for lunch today. Yumm!

good tips Songbird...I've taken to drinking my breakfast. V-8. I love that stuff. I've dropped 15 lbs. It sure is coming off slow, but at least my thighs stopped rubbing against each other when I walk now therefore, no more fires.

Songbird by cabbage salad do you mean coleslaw?

That V-8 juiced is soooo good for you too JJ. I love the stuff and buy the low sodium. It seems to me that slower weight loss seems to stay gone more than when you drop it too fast.

Dotsie hang in there, weight loss is ongoing and everlasting for us all.

jawjaw, congrats! That's quite an accomplishment. The thought of the fire makes me squirm.

Chatty, I know I sound like a whiner, but until the past few years I never had to think twice about what I ate. I guess I should count my blessings that I didn't have to battle this all my life. Yup...counting blessings changes my perspective!

JJ: Congratulations! I love the V-8 juice and also buy the low sodium kind. I'll have the same problem if I don't watch my weight. So I guess I better stick to eating wisely .

Chatty: I don't think it refers to coleslaw, the mayo is not good for anyone trying to loose wheight. I believe it's just cabbage as the main ingredient, or even just plain cabbage. But the artilce I read said "cabbage salad".

Dots: I agree with you. It's a blessing not to deal with counting calories every single day of your life! Not all of us had it that way.

I'm planning to have some cabbage today!!!
