I haven’t officially weighed-in after coming back from our week-long vacation to the Moosehead Lake area of Maine, but I’m confident I haven’t gained anything permanent. We had a really great time, the campground was on the ATV trail, so we could ride directly from the campground. Because of my weight loss, my back is [...]

Food Network Rewards Obese Duff Goldman with New Sugar High Show
I just watched a promo for the new Food Network show “Sugar High” starring Duff Goldman, the guy from “Ace of Cakes” (a show I don’t think I’ve watched once) Anyway, the promo commercial made me sick! They showed him gorging on cakes, pastries, cookies, and puddings. Every scene was him shoveling huge desserts into [...]
Friends Don’t Let Friends Eat Imported Shrimp
I found the quote “Friends don’t let friends buy imported shrimp.” on page 30 of the book “Cooking in the Moment – A Year of Seasonal Recipes” by Andrea Reusing. Those words should be an inspiration to us all! I adore shrimp! I wish I could eat shrimp more often! But US wild-caught shrimp is [...]
Bob Harper Biggest Loser TV Commercial for Quaker Oatmeal Squares Cereal
What’s up with Bob Harper endorsing processed cereal? He’s in a new TV ad for Quaker Oatmeal Squares, trying to convince America how wonderful this processed cereal is. I understand that a person needs to make a living, but it’s very disappointing that he would choose such a poor food product to promote. Shame on [...]
Can’t Lose Weight? Check Your Coffee Cup!
I was having trouble understanding why a certain someone in my life (who shall remain nameless…hint hint DH) was having trouble losing more weight, even though he was basically eating the same food as me. Sure, he probably isn’t as diligent as I am, but there still had to be more of a reason. His [...]
Hungry Girl First Show Premieres on the Cooking Channel
So, I watched the first episode of the new TV show, Hungry Girl (with Lisa Lillien) on the Cooking Channel, and I admit, some parts might be helpful to someone trying to lose weight, but most of it was pure Hungry Girl, suggesting unhealthy processed foods, instead of fresh whole ingredients. This first episode was [...]
Hungry Girl on the Cooking Channel
Starting January 8th, Hungry Girl (Lisa Lillien) will have her own show on the Cooking Channel. She loves using highly processed foods, especially artificial sweeteners, but I guess there is a market for this type of cooking. When I started on my weight loss journey, I did subscribe to her newsletter, but the constant barrage [...]
Gluten Free Turkey
I find it extremely humorous that a company has to advertise their turkey as gluten free! How in earth can a normal natural turkey get gluten!? Of course, I needed to find the answer, so I googled. Just as I suspected, it looks like the gross “processed” solutions they inject in the turkeys (to make [...]
PediaSure SideKicks – Who Feeds This Stuff to Their Kids?
I saw a TV ad for PediaSure Sidekicks last night. I’m sure it’s been on a million times, but this time I really paid attention. http://pediasure.com/kid-nutrition-products/sidekicks-commercial Two moms were watching their kids play soccer on the field, and one mom says that her son is sluggish and maybe they shouldn’t have stopped off at the [...]
