My friend Sara Miller has lost 100 pounds. The following were her weight loss rules:

1. Every day, do at least 45 minutes of exercise (preferably 60 min)
2. No processed sugars or sweets (fruits OK).
3. Low Carbs (carbs in most veggies OK, but no breads, pastas or heavy starches
4. No sodas (diet and regular both out)

I don't know how to set up a link to her blog, but you might can find it by googling Shenyang Team Miller to see her amazing story. I am starting this today and yes I had donuts for breakfast. Going out to walk now for 45 minutes for today. Giving up diet coke is going to be MY biggest challenge. I swear I am addicted. Many thanks to Sara for her inspiration.
