[QUOTE=jbarile][QUOTE=Muffie's Mom]Here us a good website to go to check out plate portion sizes. Really good one! It has for meats, dairy products, grains, foods with sugar, condiments, beverages, yellow foods list, meats (trimmed), low fat dairy products, starch, grains, sweet fruits, melons, acid fruit, sub-acid fruit, more condiments, sweeteners and beverages.

Man, they didn't miss anything, did they?

great Link!! thanks muffies mom! you are just the bomb! as my kids would say! You are just amazing!!!! oh by the way I lost one pound It's pretty hard because Im attempting to do both quit smoking and keep the weight gain from happening by my attempt to that task! so eating right will make all the difference in all aspects to a better way of living a healthier life!

I have been quit for 3 Days, 11 hours, 2 minutes and 36 seconds (3 days). I have saved $8.85 by not smoking 55 cigarettes. I have saved 4 hours and 35 minutes of my life. My Quit Date: 1/6/2006 11:00 PM

Even I printed off that list! That was a great one that was fully packed with just about everything.

WOW! I'm so proud of you..... trying to quit smoking and changing to a healthy way of eating at the same time. Good for you! I commend you from the bottom of my heart. But, you sound determined and I know you'll succeed.

For the others, don't be discouraged if you only lose a pound a week. That's one pound less that YOU have to carry around. Before you know it, the pounds will be adding up.

You don't want to lose too fast anyway or you might not be able to keep it off.

Thank you, Sweetie for the kind comments you had to say. I appreciate them.

Good luck to all of you.
