Inspiration from the Biggest Loser
A make contestant who is 28 was taking 8 different medicines. In three weeks of doing diet and exercise he put all of his medicines away (diabetes, cholesterol, and others). It was projected that he would have paid $733,000 over the rest of his life. Another contestant was taking 10 pills a day and some insulin. He is now down to 1. The pills he was taking was over 20,000 a year. He might’ve spent 750,000 for his medicine over the rest of his life.
50 Million Pound Challenge
This is another free website that allows you to track your exercise and your food, as well as create a journal and form a team (like the Logical Weight Loss team ). This site doesn’t have as much advertising as Spark People. The advertising that is there is for State Farm Insurance. You can even get a free pedometer if you meet up with a Stat Farm agent. I haven’t played with the food journal yet (and that’s where you spend most of your time).
Fiber Facts
There really isn’t a bad side of fiber (except it does make you go poo).
