Hi, I started to gain weight form having been to sore to workout and the drugs I take. The other day I found an article in a magazine that says cinnamon is great for losing weight. One teaspoon a day 1/4 tsp at breakfast, 1/2 tsp at lunch and 1/4tsp at supper. I have found that it has curbed my appetite tremendously! It is also great for people with diabetes as it can help with blood sugar levels. Hope this information can help someone. Google it and you will find out the benefits of cinnamon.

They sell Cinnamon pills... My mom is trying it but haven't heard an update lately... Last I heard she lost a couple pounds & her ants fit better around the waist...

Cinnamon buns are the best, the huge ones that are all sticky with the white sweet stuff on top. Tastes better than the pills!

I use to add some to the coffee in the coffee maker... the smell while brewing is wonderful!...but ill have to just put it in my coffee since my husband doesn't like it in his....
That sounds good Mona....my Hubbie is Diabetic so we could kill to birds with one stone. No I don't kill birds...I'm a bird watcher so scratch that but you know what I mean. I don't drink tea, but might start just to try Blue's comfort zone. Hubbie sets up coffee before he comes to bed I'll ask him tonight to throw some in there. Anything to loose some weight is fine by me.
Low pain all,
Cat

hey all,
i found a cinnamon suppliment. not expensive. been taking it every morning since i read this. since i have a hard time eating it seems to be helping me stay grounded when i get spacey from not eating.
best of all i am slowly losing the bloated weight gain from the steroids! it curbs my appetite that is stimulated in unhealty ways by the roids. going to start taking one in the afternoon today. craving candy less.
peace,

Hey Monalisa that's great that you quit smoking!!! Congtrats!! That's next on my list too! I have to quit by next Feb. I promised my grandson like 3 times already I would quit for his birthday. He'll be 8 on his next so he's not taking any "BULL" on the quiting thing this year...lol
Low pain and stay cool all,

Blue When u took steroids did you have trouble with your face being puffy and also did your stomach seem to bloat up?
hi f-w,
i am still on them. down to 2 mg a day. yea the moon face and pregger belly are slowly going down. i gained over 1 pound a day when i was on 5mg for 10 days. if i was off them it would go faster. giggle. i think i am sorta stuck with a bit of both as long as i take them, and it looks like that will be for life, giggle. watching my diet and taking hctz for the bloating. it's a diuretic. i am skinny so i do look funny to me. can't wait to be asked if i am preggers, giggle. at 56? i'd be nuts, so i can laugh about it.
peace,

I have cinnamon supplements, but I can't remember why I am not taking them. This just reminded me about them. I'm going to get them out and try them again.
Congrats to all you who quit smoking!! I know how hard it can be, I quit about 25 years ago..Yay for healthy lungs!! I am definitely going to try and find a cinnamon supplement, I am still trying to get rid of the 15 or so elavil pounds that won't budge...glad to hear it works
peace and love
