   Bread, cereal, rice and pasta
   These foods have more complex carbs than simple. If you choose higher-fiber foods, like brown instead of white rice, or a high fiber cold cereal (All-Bran) instead of a sweetened, low fiber cereal (Fruit Loops), you’ll also get more complex carbs.

   That would be a great idea! I’ll admit, I don’t have nearly that amount of weight to lose, but the idea of having a buddy sounds great! I was doing soooooooo well, until this weekend. It sucked ’cause I wanted to crawl into a hole, and I didn’t really have anyone to talk to. My e-mail is chicyuna@yahoo.com. Give me a shout!
