One of the things that I have a hard time with when it comes to Greek yogurt is the overly sour taste. I mean yogurt is already a bit sour, so making it more sour just ruins it for me. However, Stonyfield has perfected the art of Greek yogurt. This stuff tastes AWESOME. I have yet to try a flavor I do not like, either! Not only is it organic, tasty, and healthy, it is also NON fat. The best part though? It does not taste nonfat. It is creamy and delicious. Blueberry is my absolute favorite flavor, and some of the blueberries are even whole! SO yummy! The most important thing to me is that my kids not only love it as well, but it is also safe for them to eat.

Fight the Holiday Fat and Start the New Year Off with a Flab Fighting Bang!
Ever since I became a mother, the scale has become my nemesis. The sad truth is: it is far easier to gain weight than it is to lose it! Losing weight can be very difficult. However, thankfully, not impossible! I started my weightloss, well, serious weightloss journey a few years ago. I dug in deep and lost 50 pounds. I was so happy. I still had 20 pounds to reach my goal, and sadly, fell off track; gained 25 back and then had to reevaluate my goals and priorities.
