Welcome to WeightLossProse.com. I've been interested in health and fitness for as long as I can remember. I believe living a healthy lifestyle makes for a happier life. However, I don't support our nations obsession with dieting. I believe one can eat healthy and still enjoy eating. I also don't support the idea that exercise must take place in a gym. Being active outside (hiking, biking, playing tennis) is the best form of exercise. I hope my weight loss blog helps you in your quest to lose weight, keep it off, be healthy, and be happy!

While I’m not one to constantly count calories or have a goal of how many...

5 ways to cut costs on healthy foods
// Dec 2nd, 2009
1. Purchase produce that is in season. Whatever is currently in season tends to be cheaper. Grocery stores have lots of that particular item and put in on sale to sell it quickly. Not only is in season produce sold at a good price, it also tastes the best!
