When I buy breads I look for the whole grain content. Altho the calories may be the same as the white food product, your body metabolizes grains far differently than white flour. Look at the difference in the fiber content as well, my understanding is that 3-4 grams of fiber per serving is good (totally helps with the pooping 
). I've been using the glycemic index on southbeach.com to determine which veggies and grains are in the low - med glycemic catagory, sticking mostly to the low. The lower the glycemic index is the better your body metabolizes the carb. I no longer feel guilty about eating my veggies, whole grain breads and even sweet potatoes. It has made my "diet" easier to live with and boy these things can fill you up. Make sense??

Topic: english muffins etc
So now that I am back on fitday I have found some interesting things. I had bought some Thomas English muffins. Wheat as recommended. They are great and have something like 6 grams of protein. Well it just so happens I had some generic english and I compared calories etc. Well they were the same, the wheat muffins had 1 gram of protein more. Now mind you I still will have the wheat muffin over the regular I just don't assume anymore that calories reflect the quality of the product.
I guess my point is that sometimes we assume we are eating healthier than we really are. I was also having a yogurt in the morning with Kashi cereal mixed in, the yogurt wasn't staying with me long enough. I though adding the cereal would give it staying power. Well it did but the calories was well over 350. I was better off having milk in my cereal which makes me fuller longer.
any one else have some "food" tips?

So I know that most of us had gotten into a rut and were struggling to find out ways back. My way back started Monday. When I stepped on the scale on Sunday I was up to 172 pounds from a low of 163. I was devastated. My pants were now to tight as well. I felt like a complete failure and envisioned myself back up over 200 by next week. Monday started my commitment back. For the first time in months I worked out. I was logging back on to fitday, getting in protein, water and vitamins.
The results... not only did exercising and water give me the ability to poop again.... (sorry) but as of this morning my weight is back to 165 and I feel 100% better.
So it seems that we still have what it takes to make the scales move. For those of you struggling, start by looking over what you were doing early on. I actually read my profile and went back on the calendar for fitday to see how much exercise I was getting and what I was eating when I loosing was at the best.
Thanks to everyone for helping me find my way back...

Topic: RE: How I started my day...
Some of those strength ones I did , I did while in my chair and schecking mail and having tea...lol
Wrist curl,seted leg raises,dumbell curls..The airplane i did while i was waiting for the tea water, and the wall push ups I did at the doorway while going to make the second cup.
It's not about making time to do these things it's about how to work them in..
We CAN do this!!
