And exercise does not rev up your metabolism. High-intensity interval training has a marginal effect but even that is not going to melt fat away. Diet, diet, diet....oh how I wish it wasn't so. It's so much more work!

People always overestimate how many calories they burn with exercise. One hour of exercising is no one's get-out-of-fat free card. I lost 30 pounds so far and nothing worked like cutting out soda, desserts and starchy carbs. And portion control. It's so hard to make the change but it's worth it!

I own hundreds of books. Rarely do I reread any. But I love them all. I need them around me. The words on the pages therein MUST be around. I have to possess them. If you have to rationalize it, perhaps it's not for you. The rest of us greedily take and read with abandon.

i made those strawberry yogurt pretzels with this recipe two days ago. Boy do I wish I had read the comments. They were terrible! What a fraudulent picture because I can guarantee that whoever photographed those pretzels did not make them with the recipe posted. What a joke.

hand mixers work just fine for this recipe. and you also don't need to let the marshmallows set for that long.

12-15 hours is precious tim wasted when you could be noshing!

3 hours is just long enough.
