Thanks for responding Lisa. Nice to meet you! I totally get the "food means love" thing although I've never heard it called that before. While I do eat in moderation, I find it difficult to cook a meal that will feed anything less than an army! And since I'm a single woman, my roommate and the neighbors are forced to suffer my all of my culinary efforts :) Been checking out juicing and raw foods lately but not sure I'm ready just yet...

My boyfriend LOVES to make juice drinks and he's done quite well with them. He had gotten up to 300 in February and now he's down to 190 just within this one year. Juicing is tasty and easy .

That's amazing. I bet he feels so much better! I have a juicer and I love it, I just need to get in the habit of going there first. The other day, I made the poor decision of stopping at Taco Bell and was appropriately rewarded with a huge dose of food poisoning. Lesson bought! Hope you have a great NYE!
