I like Curves. In and out in 30 or so minutes. They are open at 6:30 a.m. and it's not a fashion show. I practically crawl out of bed go do my routine come home have a shower and breakfast and I'm done with it. I am not motivated enough (at least right now) to think about an excercise program. This one does it for me!

Sorry to hear all of the negative comments about Curves. I have just joined on the advice of three friend who all look fabulous since they joined. The thing that I like about it, yes I admit it I hate excercising. I think it is all boring. But in and out in 40 mins including stretching, motivates me particularly on those mornings when I don't feel like. As for the boredom I can handle boredom for 40 mins 3 times a week. Wish me luck!

Lots of water, it seems to be the cure for everything when you are dieting. But I also read that cinnamon is good in helping skin elasticity when losing weight.

I have three South Beach Diet books. All three say that you can have dairy products. They all suggest that you use either low fat or fat free yogurt in moderation. I have a 1/4 cup serving every day. The Astro No fat with a sweetner is good!

I made Carolina's Pizza quiche recipe, but omitted the sausage and spaghetti sauce. I made them in muffin tins and freeze them separately. I munched on them a work this week, my colleagues were jealous!

Pork rinds with tobasco sauce is good too!

Can someone please explain to me what the Kashi Brand or Uncle Sam is and who makes it. I live in Ontario, Canada and I have not seen these on the shelves. Or does anyone out there know where I can buy these in Canada?:?:

Try reading a book called "Flip the Switch" by Dr. Cooper. It gives you tips on kick starting your metabolism.
