  6. Tiffany says:

    It would be nice to win something for once :)

  7. Elisabeth Perkins says:

    To begin cutting down, just eat half of whatever you eat, first, and then when you get used to the portions, then you can change some of the things you eat! Switch….instead of reaching for cookies and full fat milk, bake a couple of apples top them with a little granola and cinnemon and splenda, when it comes out of the oven, try a little fat free half and half….you wont miss the cookies!

  8. Coach Calorie says:

    Good tips Elisabeth. Thanks for sharing. Portion control is a great way to lose weight.

  9. Coach Calorie says:

    Just another reminder, in order to be entered into the giveaway, your comments need to be made on an actual blog post (either a past one, or one that will be made during the month of December – there will be plenty) and not on this giveaway page as pointed out in the guidelines. Thanks!

  10. Victoria brook says:

    Since june 2011 i have lost 71.5 kg using a weight loss product to start and watching shat i eat. I think if i can do that then anyone can lose a few kg here or there. I think the biggest help to me has been being able to read these posts and to add the knowledge i gain here to what im doing to achieve my goals. Its a major lifestyle changebut im healthy im off insulin and cholesterol meds and i now really enjoy exercising and i have joined a gym. The articles posted here are very helpful and dont think i have missed one that i havent read from start to finish. Great page. Well done . Very helpful.

  11. Coach Calorie says:

  48. Debbie says:

    Tony & Deanna,
    I’m enjoying this site so much. Deanna, you in particular have been a real inspiration to me. Seeing the changes you’ve made has been very encouraging! I’ve lost 50 lbs since March, but I feel like I’ve hit a wall and I’ve got at least 30 more pounds to go to get back to my pre-baby weight (my “baby” is now 10.5 years old :( ). I’ve been reading and reading, and not wanting to blindly follow anyone’s advice, but the more I read your posts, the more it all makes sense. I do have to say, I’m afraid of eating too much fat. One of my real motivators for losing weight was my cholesterol. Summer of 2010 my Dr. prescribed Statins for me. I got the Rx filled, took one pill, and put them on the shelf, refusing to take any more. It seemed so wrong for me to be taking medication for a condition that I could control.
    I look forward to every one of your posts. Keep ‘em coming!

    • Coach Calorie says:

      Hey Debbie, thank you for the kind words. Those statins are a crazy drug. It’s a medication that’s treating the symptom instead of the cause. Taking a pill to lower cholesterol that your body needs to protect its arteries can be dangerous. The better course of action would be to lower cholesterol levels by lowering arterial inflammation – which is done through healthy eating and staying away from processed foods.

      says:

      Debbie! So awesome that you have lost 50 lbs!

      I was the same way with fats but I eat them in moderation and only the healthy ones-I quit cheese and dairy which was one of the hardest parts but made the biggest difference.

      Good luck and you’re doing such wonderful things for yourself and your kids by making healthier choices!!

  57. andalene says:

    One of the biggest reasons that diets fail is because of peer pressure. I think and I also practice, that if a friend of mine is on a diet/trying to eat healthy, that it is respectful for you to consider the other person’s personal situation before ordering. I don’t order poutine when I know that it’s my bestie’s favourite and she’s trying to lose a little. I’m not sying go to extremes, but take it into consideration. This situation also came up alot in my employment where I supported individuals with disabilities, most with food restrictions, etc. I always tried to consider this before eating lunch with them either out or in their home.

  126. Janene Scarborough says:

    A big problem I’ve had is my job keeps me working lots of overtime and odd hours, so for me, I will get something quick and easy to eat, that is bad because you end up eating fast food and stuff that’s just not good for you, also by the time you get done with your day, who can go work out? I am so tired that it’s all I can do to get my house cleaned and laundry done, So, I guess what I really need to do is make it a priority in my life to eat well and at least go for walks, otherwise I know later in life I will surely have regrets. I actually made a New Years resolution about this very thing, let’s hope I can stuck to it.
