| Radisson 12 years ago | Hi everyone,
manda23: It’s all about lifestyle here and yes you will lose the weight and not take it back. You will not lose the weight as easy as some other programs, however, you will learn to eat properly,you will have more energy, you will be more active and as you go along you will build up confidence. Start with a very basic menu and chose only the foods that you like. Read all the posts on this topic especially from Ossie. It will take you a while to get all of your ingredients. Take your time, do it well, these lessons will last a lifetime. Good luck! |
 manda23 12 years ago | hey everyone 🙂 this is my first online weightloss program to try,i use to be very athletic,i graduated high school,then off to college and just can’t figure how i went from a size 9 to size 19 lol…anyway this is day 2 of my “diet” anyone have some good advice for someone stating out? i really want to lose this and keep it off 🙂 |
 CHIA 12 years ago | Katie: I have found that as I get older, I don’t like being as busy as I used to be, either. I used to do so many things in a day, and at once, and never gave it a thought, but now I really have to try to make a point of not being so busy or I get overwhelmed. Stress used to not bother me, but it does now and I shy away from it. 🙂 I truly believe it comes with age. |
 stgeofun 12 years ago | Whoops, I’m getting my veggies mixed up with my quiches! lol It’s the cheesy mushroom deep dish quiche! Yummmm! |
| stgeofun 12 years ago | Well, today I dropped another pound! That’s 5 total. My biggest success if being off all the sweets! However, the last few days my blood sugars have been running just a tad too high, and I have no idea why! Well, it might be that I end up eating quite late to get all the meals and snacks in. My life is just too busy right now. I can’t believe I’m saying that, cause I have always loved keeping busy. I hope my life will settle down soon though, maybe it’s because I’m another year older! lol I am looking forward to a vacation on March 21 to Hilton Head, South Carolina for a week. A friend is going with me, and she is trying to eat healthy too, so that might help me to be good. Savannah pecan pie is calling me though! lol
I have a bit more than a serving (like 3) today of the cheesy mushroom broccoli quiche. It is so good! I don’t use the turkey sausage, I use Canadian Bacon instead, I hope that’s alright.
I like reading everyone’s comments. Let’s all have a great week!
Bye for now! |
| CHIA 12 years ago | OSSIE: Because I usually only have canned tuna and canned chicken for my meats and the foods I have for breakfast, wouldn’t satisfy him. He is also very picky. He wouldn’t like the barley and rice either. Thanks for your suggestion though. It would be a lot easier 🙂 |
 Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi, Chia, regarding your husband – you mentioned that you want to make the same foods for both of you, but that “he doesn’t need to diet.” I just want to point out that this program is not really a diet, but rather geared toward healthy living. There is no reason your husband can’t have what you’re having, with larger portions, of course. |
 bernie53 12 years ago | thanks Bev for the suggestion ,going to give it a try |
 bjeRK41e 12 years ago | For all you that are losing weight, congratulations! stgeofun when you think of a pound of hamburger and you have lost four of them, that’s really good. Also, we need to measure our waist and hips because it’s very likely that we are losing inches. thank-you jackeii for the spice ideas. I talked to the health food store person and they gave me some more. Like using lemon peel for my fish, that you buy as a spice. I also bought sage, and chilli peper spice. She said using olive oil on potatoes instead of butter is good. Using chicken broth instead of oil for baking the fish in, gives it more flavor. I’ve got some new ideas now. yahoo. |
| Radisson 12 years ago | Hi everyone:
stgeofun: When you cut recipes it’s not as good. You can freeze your food in prepared portions, however, that may lose some of the taste. That’s why I rely on soups prepared with fat free no salt added chicken or beef broth. Example: 1 cup of your favorite broth, 1/2 cup of stewed tomatoes (I always have some in the fridge), generally italian tomatoes with less salt. You can alternate stewed tomatoes with Brown rice or mixed beans preparation, add 2 or 3 favourite veggies from the free list, add a portion of your meat (chicken, turkey, beef or fish), dash of sea salt, fresh ground black Pepper and Herbes de Provence to taste. Voilà ! Just enough for a meal, no left overs and diversity. Also see my previous posts for Brown rice and mixed beans preparations. |
 Seaborngirl 12 years ago | NANCY….Hahah…no derogative terms for Aussies? Amazing..what a gracious lot you all are! I always thought it was a bit strange calling all Americans Yankees, knowing the term originated in the NE or New England, and pretty much the descendants of the English Settlers….but that is the term we Aussies, and Brits as far as I know, use for all Americans.
Nancy, you would love the walks along our river, as with all rivers I reckon. They are always interesting.
As far as the sleeping goes…I will get used to it…I have never been a good sleeper…from the time I was a little girl I have stayed awake most of the night! It must have become a habit laying there awake for hours. I have been getting a better sleep with the machine, but the mask causes some trouble during the night, which keeps me awake still. I will try a different mask on Tuesday. KATIE…Good on you for your loss. And how wonderful that you are going to be a grandma again!!! ‘Citing stuff!!! Night all…got to put my mask on…lol. Bev. |
| Seaborngirl 12 years ago | BERNIE53…hehe…the water is a hard one for some of us! I have learned to start with two glasses first thing in the morning…before anything else. I have two glasses with breakfast, morning snack, lunch and afternoon snack.That is my 10 glasses out of the way by about 3pm, and I don’t have any after that time, unless I have to for some reason…like taking a tablet. I have found that helps with the night walks to the loo.
All the best with it….Bev. |
