Thus, you can both lose weight and become healthier in the process. You can eat brown rice, lean meats, low-fat dairy products, fruits and vegetables.

Many excellent recipes are included in the book with have no flour and sugar, yet taste delicious.

| K10 | posted 17-Jul-2010 2:34am Wanda: I have heard of it. Many people talk about LA as a generality, so I wondered if you actually lived there. Can you believe this heat? |
| 2gorjus | posted 17-Jul-2010 9:29am You think you have heat!!!! You should live in Indiana! This is the worst summer I have seen. It either curls your hair or ir leaves it straight! |
| Debbie M. | posted 17-Jul-2010 10:24am Hey I live in Indiana. Northern most Central. Where are you 2gorjus? |
| Connie | posted 17-Jul-2010 1:14pm This year is big on heat! Yesterday we had 115, that's heat index. Last month was the second hottest June on record. I really and truly and literally hibernate in the summer months. But last year our summer was so lovely, low humidity...or maybe it was the summer before that. Anyway, I remember I had great hair for the whole summer. MIL has not been eating well or taking her meds! I've spent the last couple of days with her getting her back to normal. I thought she was hospital bound at first. Lot's to do today. We had movie night last night and I had some no no's. Of course now I regret it. Great day all. |
| Debbie M. | posted 17-Jul-2010 5:15pm What movie? |
| Debbie M. | posted 17-Jul-2010 5:16pm We saw Remeber Me. Shocking at the end. I had to cry. I don't know if I'd recommend it. It was PG 13 but I wouldn't let my kids watch it. It depressed me. |
| wadawson | posted 18-Jul-2010 1:07pm Yes, this heat is horrible. I hate that I don't have central air. I never thought I needed it in Los Angeles, but boy was I wrong..LOL |
| 2gorjus | posted 18-Jul-2010 2:18pm I live in south central Indiana. Close to Columbus.It has been miserable here, all summer. My grandson played a baseball tournament in central Michigan and he said it was just as hot there. It must be hot all over. |
| Hilda | posted 19-Jul-2010 10:15am Heat index last week in Mo was 117 too. I am ready for some more frozen fruit. |
| Debbie M. | posted 19-Jul-2010 3:33pm I am reminding myself today of what I know to be true. By eating high glycemic foods(flour and sugar) my blood sugar rises, leading to a large release of insulin, which then removes the sugar from my circulation, storing it as fat and glycogen, causing my blood sugar to drop over the next one to two hours making me feel weak, lightheaded, cranky and even exhausted. Then the cyle repeats again. I'm starting over to be clean of all the garbage I've put in my body lately. Its been a tough day so far but I'm looking forward to the benefits both psychological and physical. I feel determined, no matter how crabby I feel at the moment. |
| Bear | posted 19-Jul-2010 5:22pm Lately I've given in to ice cream and had the exact same experience, Debbie. Today I decided to make my own, again, this time just using coconut milk and a banana. I think the amount of fat brings down the GI of the banana somewhat, but I know this is better for me than ice cream. I need to stop messing around! |
| Connie | posted 20-Jul-2010 10:35am Morning ladies. I finally have a "free" morning and I can't move! I have a million things to do today...but I am going to go slow. MIL is doing better. Her mental abilities are slipping a bit. My husband wants me to cook her dinner everyday, which sounds reasonable since I cook for us. But, I don't cook everyday and it's just a little more pressure on me. I will do my best. I plan on clean eating today. Something always seems to slip me up lately! I hope everyone is well. |
| Debbie M. | posted 20-Jul-2010 10:51am Clean eating for the first time in a long time yesterday. And the scale was nice to me!! 197.5 today. Off for a walk. Connie, You are doing God's work taking care of the seniors in your life. God will bless you for that. |

| Debbie M. | posted 20-Jul-2010 1:20pm I wrapped several lettuse leaves around some turkey for lunch. yum Neighbors of our are going to Turkey Run camping. I'm so envious. I want to go too. I hear it is so beautiful there. Have you been there 2gorjus? |
| Debbie M. | posted 20-Jul-2010 2:02pm haha lettuse |
| 2gorjus | posted 20-Jul-2010 7:07pm No, I haven't, but my cousin has been several times. She and her husband used to love taking their two sons and go camping at all the state parks. Her husband passed away 3 years ago. Now she goes with her two sons. One is an elementary school teacher and the other has Down Syndrome. They are in Colorado right now. She called last night and said they were going to Dodge City! The one with Down is a history nut. He loves everything old. That is why he loves me! Ha! I have to get back on track. A week of the fair and a great granddaughter's birthday party just about did me in. I am afraid to weigh. My pants feel tight. |
| Hilda | posted 20-Jul-2010 10:55pm I have been researching gluten free diets and recipes for daughter. May turn out to be for myself if I test positive. Has anyone else been tested for Celiac disease? I was reading that if athletes go gluten free it improves their performance. |
| K10 | posted 21-Jul-2010 12:14am It is hard to pack at the end. Trying to decide what to leave out until the last minute makes it more difficult. I am actually looking forward to getting back on track with my eating. I may have said that before, but I can't remember. Sorry to repeat myself if I did. |

Debbie...dropping weight.....good for you. Crazy busy here.....my son leaves for Haiti next week.....company and all the summer stuff Connie,,,,,make time for CONNIE! |
| Debbie M. | posted 21-Jul-2010 9:01pm So good to see you on Bronwyn. Missing you. |
| K10 | posted 21-Jul-2010 9:45pm Hi Bronwyn. |
| Debbie M. | posted 22-Jul-2010 10:50am Tomorrow is my babiest's birthday. She will be 10. I can't believe my baby is 10! My 16 yr old will be 17 next week. 4 kids 10 to 17. What a ride this is!! Having two teens isn't easy. Next year it will be 4 teens. AAHHH!!!! Sometimes I get so tired but I suppose kids keeping you young is true. I would be so disconnected from the world without my kids. So how come I still feel so old? |
| Connie | posted 22-Jul-2010 3:07pm Hello ladies. I have been trying to keep up with the posts, I'm barely able to! K10, good luck with the move and we've all said "getting back on track"...repeatedly! Bronwyn, you certainly have a worldly family. Haiti sounds so very...what's the word? How about "far away." And maybe different. Debbie, 4 teenagers! I can't imagine. Hilda, a gluten free diet is probably good for everyone. And eating only nutritious food is just plain smart. I think I may have celiac. I am done..."DONE" with the junk food. Here's what I think has happened. Everyone in my house keeps bringing bad foods in the house and then not putting them up. If I'm not eating them during the day, which I really try not to do, I get them at night. So I'm putting my foot down and putting an end to it. We do not need that stuff in the house. We all can use to lose weight. I just have to be strict. And I can be when I put my mind to it. Last night daughter made brownies. Man, does she have a sweet tooth. Anyway, I didn't have any and I had her put them away somewhere hidden after I went to bed. So when I got up at 2 am and started looking for food I had a couple of rice cakes. It's a start. Maybe this weekend I can catch up with everyone. I hope so. I miss my diethound time. |
| Bear | posted 22-Jul-2010 6:20pm Yay, Connie and Bronwyn are back... maybe.  |
| K10 | posted 22-Jul-2010 7:17pm I am sad that I am causing heartache for my children. I know their friends will love them not matter where we live, but it hurts to see them so sad. |
| Connie | posted 22-Jul-2010 9:30pm Oh K10, it will be alright. Soon they will be with old friends and staying in touch with new friends too. I have resisted the brownies all day and I had a NFNS dinner as well. I served garlic toast, but didn't have any. So, I have been 100% today and it feels really good. I feel more like myself. I also managed to clean the house and that could be why I'm feeling on top off things. Time to shower and then read. I'll be busy tomorrow, darn it, but I'll check in when I can. I will be with my friend and she will want to eat out and I am going to have to be REALLY STRONG SO I CAN KEEP THE MOMENTUM GOING. Sweet dreams all. |
| Debbie M. | posted 22-Jul-2010 10:27pm I meant to say 3 teens next year and 1 tween. Still! Right?! |
| SBIGGY | posted 23-Jul-2010 4:44pm Hey guys, |
| Bear | posted 23-Jul-2010 5:27pm Wow, Debbie! You must be made of steel. |
| Connie | posted 23-Jul-2010 7:10pm Hello gang. I made it through the day NFNS. I had an ezek muffin before we headed out and then when we had lunch I had a big plate of grilled vegetables. For dinner I will probably have some cereal. I haven't done that in a long time and I consider it a good meal option. So tonight I get to take it easy, and my house is still looking good. I have on full hair and make up so I'll wait for hubby to get home and have a look at that before I slink into bed to read. Sunday is the the start of season 4 of Madmen, FINALLY, so this weekend we are having a Madmen weekend. Son has the first three seasons on dvd. I think the weather is going to continue to be hot, hot, hot...so a good time to stay inside and lay around. |
| Connie | posted 23-Jul-2010 7:38pm Just finished the cereal. I have to be victorious over food. I will be victorious over food. I am feeling very much like the old me! |
| Bear | posted 23-Jul-2010 7:39pm ^^ Same here! Madmen marathon with my mom. We have about 4 episodes of season 3 left. Congrats on staying NFNS. |
| Debbie M. | posted 23-Jul-2010 9:05pm I had may daughters birthday cake today. 2 pieces. I really felt it physically. I felt all droopy and my gut rummbled for an hour. Strange. |
| Connie | posted 24-Jul-2010 10:06pm Isn't is amazing how F & S affect us now? I have stayed NFNS all day today. Go me! I am so glad I got back on track. Now I have to stay on track. I have passed on forbidden foods over and over the last couple of days. I either eat NFNS or I go hungry. As if I would ever go hungry! |
| sexynana | posted 24-Jul-2010 11:00pm I just went and bought the NFNS book. I've been trying to do this for a couple of days. I've been reading all of your Post and is loving them. I offically weighed in this morning at 170lbs and hating myself for the weight gain. No health problems just "loving food" problems. I knew I was going to LA next month and I've just let myself go. I live in Milwaukee. I'm 54 with one sone and four grandaughters. I still work outside the home. Wish me luck in losing something and getting back on track. I was doing Atkins it was too food restricted. I love vegetables and FRUIT. I hope this diet is as easy as it seems to be. |
| Debbie M. | posted 25-Jul-2010 3:07am Welcome Nana, This diet is easy. You are going to do great! I wish I was at 170. I'm at 196.5 as of today. Thats down 7 pounds! Yippy Doooo!! Only a million to go. We went to a new beach today. I had acouple bis of no no's but that is all. Go me! and Go Connie!! Super great for you. K10 had moving day today. I hope it went smoothly. Now for unpacking. |
| Connie | posted 25-Jul-2010 10:48am Morning all. I weighed this morning..153 on the nose. Not bad, not good. I was actually hoping I would have dropped one or two pounds, but I just need to give it time. I'm feeling tighter in my stomach, that always happens when I stay NFNS. Go Debbie! Down 7 pounds...that's a big loss. My guess is even if you can't tell a difference in your actual size, others are probably noticing a leanness in your appearance. Like a swelling that has gone down. I remember people kept telling me I had lost lot's of weight in my face. That could only have been swelling or puffiness, a side effect caused by inflammation, caused by F & S. You are doing so good! Welcome nana. This diet really is wonderful. It is so healthy, unlike Atkins. You do want to watch your fruit intake, especially fruit juices. But if you watch your calories and stick with the plan, you can really drop the pounds. So much of it is common sense. But you will soon find out sugar is everywhere, under different names. It doesn't take long to come up with acceptable foods. You will find that the foods you eat are all nutritious. So you will be eating less, but getting more nutrition. Thank you Dr Gott! K10, hope you are doing well. Check in when you can. Hope you are well Bronwyn and Hilda. Bear, we haven't been able to watch Madmen yet. Today is the day. Husband just asked me if I want a waffle! HELLO! I really have slipped so much that my family now thinks anything goes for me and food. My fault. I declined his offer. I am on a mission to drop 5 pounds asap. If I do that, I think I can get back into my size 10 pants. I need to have a goal in regards to eating in my life. It keeps me motivated. |
| Bear | posted 25-Jul-2010 2:41pm ^^ Neat. We have one more episode of season 3 to go.  Congrats, ladies, on your weight loss. It's tough when family members bring bad foods into the house. I wish I could have them only bring in what they can eat in one sitting, or something. But my dad is sick and one of the only foods he can get down right now is ice cream. |
| 2gorjus | posted 25-Jul-2010 3:53pm Bear, I know what you mean. My husband has so many eating requirements. it isnt funny! He has to eat often and has to have high caloric things. He has a Iliostomy. That means he has no bowels. As a result, he doesnt get the nutritional value from his food. Everything just goes right through him. So we have a lot of pies, cakes, icecream, etc. at our house all the time. Usually, I am pretty good. Sometimes, I slip. Keep up the good work! You can do it! |
| Connie | posted 25-Jul-2010 5:01pm Oh 2gorjus, I would be in so much trouble with all that junk food around. I have to keep it away from me. Good for you having all that willpower! Bear, we still haven't been able to watch any of Madmen's previous seasons. Too much going on around here. That's ok, we'll get to it sometime. I'm glad you have been able to watch them. |
| sexynana | posted 25-Jul-2010 9:26pm So far so good today. I went to the park for a long walk AFTER dinner. I'm trying . I know the weight didn't come on overnite but I sure wish it would go over nite. |
| 2gorjus | posted 26-Jul-2010 9:33am Yes,nana, we all want to lose 10 pounds by day after tomorrow! Aint gonna happen! I have gone up a pound. I need to hunker down and get on the ball. Now isnt that a picture to imagine? Someone hunkering down on a ball? I think I am losing my mind. Maybe I need some coffee. (I just remembered, I dont like coffee) |
| Debbie M. | posted 26-Jul-2010 10:36am Oh my! Are we a little hyper today? hehe I chipped my toothe last night. Now all my tongue wants to do is go to that spot. |
| Connie | posted 26-Jul-2010 1:02pm Morning all. 153 this morning. I've been on line all morning with tech support over some computer issues. That was interesting! Now I have to get going. Don't know what we will be doing for dinner tonight...I'll think of something. Later gang. |
| K10 | posted 26-Jul-2010 6:05pm I don't have time to read the updates, just want you all to know I am unpacking and I don't think I will ever be done. I have so much junk I need to get rid of. |
| Connie | posted 26-Jul-2010 6:58pm Yeah! Your unpacking! Don't overdo it. |
| Debbie M. | posted 26-Jul-2010 11:16pm Super K10, You have arrived! |
| 2gorjus | posted 27-Jul-2010 9:48am I am not big on moving. My husband used to build houses and sell them. That means we would build a house, move into it, sell it, move on to another house. We moved 18 times in the first 12 years we were married! Once we had just had a new baby girl and I was still in the hospital. My husband came in the room and said " I hope you didnt unpack everything, I just sold the house." Well, I couldnt decide between divorce and murder so I did neither. We have been in our house 33 years now. No More Moving For Me! I am so proud of you, K10 |
| Connie | posted 27-Jul-2010 5:20pm You must have had "moving" down to a science! If I had to move right now I would have a huge mess on my hands. |
| K10 | posted 28-Jul-2010 1:14am I am so tired. My arms hurt, my hands hurt, my feet hurt, and my legs hurt. I cleaned 3 bathrooms today at my old house and my stepmom helped do many other things. We still have quite a bit to do at the old house and I feel trapped in a house full of boxes. Last time our boxes were in the garage, but the owner has 3/4 of the garage filled with their stuff (part of the agreement), so my living room is packed with boxes that are in no particular order. I will be organizing the boxes tomorrow. Must go now. So tired. 2gorjus: We have moved 15 times in 20 1/2 years of marriage. We are going to finally get rid of a bunch of stuff. We even found a box that have moved since the first time we moved. UUGGHH!!!!!!!! |
| Debbie M. | posted 28-Jul-2010 2:16am Connie, I don't believe you. Today is the first day off my antidepressant. Yesterday I took my one last little grain. I weaned so slow it was kind of funny. This is the day I have been working towards for months. I'll know later today if I will have any negative side effects. Thinking of trying out a new camp ground just 30 minutes to the east of us. Not new, just new to us. I hope we go this week end. It looks good on the internet. Its called Eby Pines Campground in Indiana. Later, going back to bed now as it is 2:15 AM. |
| 2gorjus | posted 28-Jul-2010 9:42am Debbie, be careful about going by the pictures on the internet. My daughter and her family did that. They found a beautiful looking campground called Paradise Cove (I think) Paradise something. When they got there they found out it is populated mostly by bikers and not the good kind. Shootings, fights, calling the sheriff, yelling, it was awful! Yours may be very nice but be careful. Leave it to old sourpuss here to rain on everyone's parade. Go have a good time! |
| Debbie M. | posted 28-Jul-2010 12:02pm Haha, Yes that is a possibility. We will be careful. Good thing is its only 30 minutes from home and we came leave if we want to. Besides this place came recommended so it's probably a good bet. 199 today, up a little, fooey. |
| Connie | posted 28-Jul-2010 12:20pm Believe me...the attic is stuffed...the garage is stuffed...what few closets we have are stuffed! My husband is a pack rat. Eventually I am going to get to go through all those spaces. MIL just called me and said she wanted to talk to me "personally." Huh? I am going to go out there and see what's up. I'll let you all know...I can't imagine what this is about. Tomorrow we are having a little get together for little one. She will be 2. We have been watching my daughters care bear movie, my daughter wanted it back, so I got one for her to keep. Then I found some care bear fabric on line and I spent the weekend making her a blanket and care bear bedding for her doll crib. Everything is so cute. Later today I am baking her a cake in a care bear pan and daughter and I are going to decorate it tonight. Now the big question is, will I have some cake? I'm not planning on it...I don't want to cave in. |
| Debbie M. | posted 28-Jul-2010 12:47pm That is so nice Connie. |
| Connie | posted 28-Jul-2010 2:22pm MIL thought we were spending too much money on her. That's nice. I was worried she would accuse me of misplacing something of hers. Next Thursday my MIL and husband are going to Alaska for 2 weeks. This will surely be my MIL's last trip to see her remaining sister. Lot's to do to get her ready for that. |
| Connie | posted 28-Jul-2010 7:55pm Taking a break from decorating the cake. What was I thinking! I bought all the Wilton's tips, bags, colors, etc, etc. My daughter is helping...what a mess we have made. I am not going to be a perfectionist about this cake...there is a lot more involved to it than I thought. I've changed the colors from oranges/reds to pink/darker pinks. That has been the most fun so far. I tasted the frosting...yuck! Shortening, butter and powdered sugar. The shortening is too strong tasting. I hope it sweetens up overnight. |
| Bear | posted 28-Jul-2010 8:30pm ^^ I would probably like it anyway, Connie! Lately I am walking past macaroons, dark chocolate and even ice cream. It's still hard sometimes. I have my own "ice cream" concoction, otherwise I would not make it. |
| Debbie M. | posted 29-Jul-2010 8:04am K10, Are any of the fires ner you? |
| Debbie M. | posted 29-Jul-2010 8:04am *near |
| Debbie M. | posted 29-Jul-2010 9:52am 199 still. I guess the birthday cake caught up with me. I not surprised though. I have been stress eating. My girlfriends nephew committed suicide and its been a terrible time. I've been arguing with my sister. And I am completely off my antidepressants now for 24 hours. My body is still adjusting to that but I am doing very well in spite of the strife. I drink wine on occassion but my husband was drinking too often for comfort. We discussed my concerns about it and we havent had any in the house for 3 weeks now. That is an adjustment too. All in all I think I am handling these challenges pretty good. My mood is a bit lower than I would like but I can't complain. There was a time where just one of these things would have sent me to bed for most of the day. I never nap anymore. I don't sleep as well at night as I think I should but I never sleep well when I am at odds with someone (my sister) I will try to concentrate on my diet more and continue the walking I have been doing with my husband. It is so good when we walk. We are gone more than 30 minutes without the kids. We use the time to talk about feelings and about our day and future plans. Its so good for us. We missed last nights walk because we decided to drive to the new camp ground and check it out. We wanted to see if it was worth the money as its more than we are used to spending. But I missed our walk so much. We had time together in the car but it wasnt the same. There is something special about moving and walking that gets conversation flowing. I think just the act of walking keeps the mind thiking and moving as well. |
| Debbie M. | posted 29-Jul-2010 10:22am heh, *thinking |
| Connie | posted 29-Jul-2010 11:00am Debbie, I'm envious of your time walking with your husband. I am especially envious of the ease in which he gave up alcohol at your request. I am sure that is never going to happen at my house. That's just the way it is...I have accepted that. You sound like you are doing ok without your antidepressant. So sorry about your friends nephew. And stay away from sis for awhile if you can! Those numbers on the scale are going to fluctuate, just keep heading in the right direction. 153.4 this morning. Yesterday was a whole bunch of "tasting this and that." Nothing major, but it all adds up I guess. Today's the bday party. I need to clean house, hair and makeup (I hate those jobs!) and run to the store. Hope you all have a good day. |
| Debbie M. | posted 29-Jul-2010 1:17pm Connie, I thought of you and your husband when I wrote what I did. But I have to tell you it was not without a lot of tears and anger that we both came to the conclusion that this drinking was not good for the familyin general and for the children to see. He even went to a therapist two times then decided he didnt need to go anymore. It was not easy and is still a challenge but we are communicating about our feelings and that is the most important thing we can do. I can't lie I'd love to have a drink sometimes. My problem isn't drinking, its stopping drinking. His problem was frequency of drinking. It was very sneeky as he would never appear drunk or loud but always have a little juice glass of wine in his hand from the time he started (after work or after dinner)until he fell asleep. So together we were a mess. We don't think either of us is an alcoholic but we are definitely problem drinkers. I hope we can manage to stay in control. I heard it said about an ex-smoker that he was only one puff away from a pack a day. Meaning if he took even just one puff he would be hooked again. I feel like I'm one drink away from a whole bottle. As when I drink I want to keep drinking and if we run out I want to find a way to get more. So might as well just not take that first drink. It always seems to lead to a hang over. I wish you could have a similar experience as ours. But only you know your husband. |
| K10 | posted 29-Jul-2010 2:24pm The fires are near us this year. Thank God. Off to go clean the old house today and tomorrow. I am sick of cleaning. |
| Debbie M. | posted 29-Jul-2010 2:32pm They ARE near you? |
| Connie | posted 29-Jul-2010 2:42pm You know what Debbie, I am always looking for definitions of an alcoholic. When I read your post, especially the second paragragh, I felt a sense of worry. I'm so glad the two of you are taking this step. Your whole family will benefit...trust me on that. |
| Debbie M. | posted 29-Jul-2010 11:49pm Thanks Connie, I know you mean well. We realze this is serious. Just because my drinking was far and few in between dosnt mean the style in which I drank wasnt alarming. So far so good. Hopefully we can continue to hold each other up in support. |
| Connie | posted 30-Jul-2010 9:49am Well, I am not going to be weighing today...no way! Too much everything yesterday. But the cake and the party was wonderful. What a precious child she is. |

I've been doing pretty good in the morning when I weigh in that will trully tell the story. I see from reading your post that we all fall but it seems you ladies always get back up and on track. If the scale doesn't move I'm going to keep on truckin. Wish me luck. |
| K10 | posted 30-Jul-2010 11:12pm Aren't near us sorry. |
| K10 | posted 30-Jul-2010 11:19pm Good luck Sexynana. I am so tired. I cleaned and cleaned my old house last night and today. Thanks to my mom (step-mom) for helping me. When the owner walked in and said the house was "immaculate" I was pleased. Hopefully I will be seeing my full deposit very soon. Now I am in my new house that is not as bright and shiny and is full of boxes. Kind of depressing. I know it doesn't help that I am tired, overwhelmed and sad that we moved. Let me add fat, sick of eating crap and just need to get on track. Monday is THE day. I know I have said that many times lately, but this is it. Bro-in-law is very heavy, hubby and I are getting that way, so this has to happen. I know I am in the right frame of mind because I am looking forward to it. We are also going to start walking every night. We live in a neighborhood with no hills, finally. If we want hills we live 7/10 of a mile from a really nice big park. Talk soon. Good night. |
| K10 | posted 30-Jul-2010 11:19pm BTW hubby has worked late all week. Between missing 2 days of work last week for the move, inventory and month-end stuff he has been busy. |
| sexynana | posted 31-Jul-2010 7:56pm well the scale didn't move a inch. still 170. However I did lose some inches. How many don't know but some. I also feel a lot better. So i will countinue my course until I lose my weight. |
| Connie | posted 31-Jul-2010 7:56pm Hello ladies. The temp here today is 103, heat index of 120. It is so hot here you can't sand to be outside any length if time. My husband does it, he likes the heat to a point. He never lets it stop him from doing what he wants to do. I was outside for an hour or so first thing this morning. I can't wait for fall and winter...can't wait. You are on the right track nana. Letting NFNS take over your life can take a little time. First it takes effort, then it becomes easier, then the norm. If you step away from the plan for awhile, your body will object! Good for you for walking. K10, honey! I wish I could be there to help you. But I would probably drive you crazy telling you how to arrange your furniture. That's the fun part. Try to take it slow and steady. I know the feeling of looking forward to eating well...it's a good feeling. |
| Bear | posted 31-Jul-2010 8:21pm I also can't wait for fall, I love it. Good work, Nana. I had nothing but protein and a little greens today, and feel kinda gross anyway. Like, overfull. Maybe too much salt? |
| kathy | posted 1-Aug-2010 8:32am Hi everyone - Glad to see you are all still around. This post has been here several years. I think it's great. It's like friends who are always there. Hersheys makes sugar free dark chocolate. Does anyone eat it? I just have one or two pieces a day. It's expensive though. I'm trying to eat fruits and veggies at every meal; like a few raw carrots at breakfast, along with breakfast. Hope I can find some other good raw veggies to face in the morning. What raw veggies is anyone eating? We are in Rhode Island this week, and eating out a lot. So I won't weigh myself for a few days after we get back home. I weighed 144 before we left Massachusetts about 6 days ago. |
| 2gorjus | posted 1-Aug-2010 11:35am Kathy, welcome back. I am pigging out on green bell peppers. Not too good for breakfast though. I am at 166. I think I am at a plateau. Cant seem to go down. I'll keep at it though. My husband and I have our 'date night' every Saturday night. We eat out. I have found out that if I am very good all week long, then it isn't too hard to control myself on Saturday night. |
| misty | posted 1-Aug-2010 2:11pm Hi guys, I am just now trying out this diet. So far lost 7 pounds but have plenty more to go. I am at 296. I have been going to the public park and walking the trails too. Unfortunately I wind up eating a lot of drive-thru lunches because I am always eating on the road for work. This past week I've eaten a lot of salads but that gets boring to me after a while. Any other drive thru lunch suggestions? |
| Debbie M. | posted 1-Aug-2010 2:53pm Misty, Cheese sticks and almonds or walnuts. Buy individual packs of nuts or take come in a baggie, just a handful. (beware though, they are so easy to over eat, lots of calories)Cheese sticks will keep until lunch in those individual wrappers. And they taste better room temperature anyway. Take a few Triscuit crackers too. Bottled water. AVOID fast food like the plaque. Tring to keep lunch at between 300 and 400 calories is not easy when you eat fast food. But we all know this , don't we? I hate it that I love to eat out so much.  Also if you don't mind taking a cold pack with you, take some greek yogurt and berries along. Salads get sooooo boring. |
| K10 | posted 1-Aug-2010 8:59pm Misty: Welcome. Don't forget you can also get burgers and such without the bun. Have all the veggies that normally come with a burger or chicken breast. There could be sugar added to the chicken breast though. Do you have El Pollo Loco around? They are a great option. Tomorrow is THE day. I am looking forward to it. |
| Debbie M. | posted 1-Aug-2010 10:08pm Go K10, Go!! |
| Debbie M. | posted 1-Aug-2010 11:10pm Connie, I don't think its ever been 103 here. I just can't imagine. It must be like an oven. |
| Debbie M. | posted 1-Aug-2010 11:13pm I caanped with the family over the weekend. We didnt go to the new place but a tried and true old favorite just up the rad, 10 minutes away in Michigan. Had a real good time but seems like I ate all weekend. I'm weigh tomorrow. Some of you are doing so good! And K10 will be joining you tomorrow! Good night friends.... |
| Debbie M. | posted 1-Aug-2010 11:14pm caanped = camped (incase you don't speak Debbie) |
| Debbie M. | posted 1-Aug-2010 11:15pm Oh my, typos everywhere! (blushing) |
| 2gorjus | posted 2-Aug-2010 9:39am I like to get a fruit and yogurt parfait at McDonald's. Along with a diet coke, it is very filling for me. I have ordered my cheeseburgers without the bun for several years. I just dont care that much for buns. But if I admit it, I always feel bloated after I eat a cheeseburger. Maybe my body is trying to tell me something. |

| Debbie M. | posted 3-Aug-2010 9:25am Golf was canceled today due to lightning storm. So here I sit with the rain coming down. I got 2 hours of sleep last night between 4:45 and 6:16. What will I do with myself. I took Melatonin but it only helped me sleep between 9:30 and 11:00. Crazy night. I have one of those silly teenaged pop songs stuck in my head!! Its driving me wild. So I listened to Clair de Lune~~Wonderful! |
| K10 | posted 3-Aug-2010 12:21pm Bummer Debbie. Have you ever heard Oh, Happiness by the David Crowder Band? It always makes me smile. |
| Connie | posted 3-Aug-2010 1:49pm Just enough time for a quick check in. I walked outside this morning at 9:30 and my reading glasses steamed up! I truly is miserable outside. I have had to "up" my nighttime strategy to keep out of the junk food. So far, so good. I just don't want to weigh when I have been munching so much...I already know I am going to be bummed. Everyone sounds good. I'm busy with little one and MIL. |
| Bear | posted 3-Aug-2010 5:09pm Good afternoon, all. Hey, Debbie, I don't know if you're at all interested in taking different vitamins, but I found out recently that magnesium, inositol (apparently a kind of b-vitamin) and zinc are helpful for sleep and other brain things. I think you alreadytake fish oil and vitamin D. They have all been in clinical trials for depression and anxiety. I'm taking them and I have very little anxiety and seem to sleep better. |
| Debbie M. | posted 3-Aug-2010 11:02pm Hi Bear, Thanks for the info. I will have to add the inositol, never heard of that one. I'll look it up. I'm up for the first time tonight already. |
| Debbie M. | posted 4-Aug-2010 9:36am More storms here. Gold canceled again. Last year we had 4 days with storms. This year more than 35! |
| Debbie M. | posted 4-Aug-2010 10:03am I meant golf |
