I am 55 years old and married. I live in NJ. I have no children, but I do have 2 furkids that are my babies.

I have struggled with my weight all of my life. Mostly, I eat because I love food. I also love to cook. My goal now, finally, is to learn to live a healthier lifestyle. My weight is starting to be reflected in my doctor's reports and I don't want to die young.

Salad - What do you put in yours?
Also, for a really quick to work salad and no dishes to wash, I put my salad dressing right in the bag of pre-washed greens. Hold the bag closed and shake, then eat right out of the bag.

Salad - What do you put in yours?
I don't think there is anything that I don't put in a salad. I run a salad recipe group on YAHOO! and I have given up putting salad in a "box". Hot and cold, salad to me is a mix of things that goes well together and most of the time (but not all) either has a dressing or creates its own from the juices of the ingredients.

Currently, my favorite salad is grilled vegetables (especially egg plant) on top of spinach, with a raspberry/balsamic vinaigrette. YUMMY!! Razz

I also like to season up canned chickpeas that have been well drained and roast them until very crunchy in the oven and use as a crouton. Crunch with fiber and protein and no bread! Surprised

South Beach and Stalling
I am considering South Beach and want to know where to start. Please help. I am unemployed and can't afford to join their website at this point.
