 pyampol 12 years ago | I am into week two, and find I just cannot eat all the stuff I am supposed to, and can’t find a lot of the things that I need for the diet. I am aware of what i eat tho’ and am just eating smaller portions. No weight loss yet…by the scales, but some of my clothing seems to fit better. Patti |
 CHIA 12 years ago | OSSIE: When a meal calls for 1/2 cup of something, such as barley, oatmeal, or cereal, etc, it means of cooked, doesn’t it? It doesn’t mean of UNCOOKED, does it? I’ve been using that measurement with the COOKED product, but want to make sure. Thanks. |
 clarks96 12 years ago | Ossie, I am 51 year old female, 195 lbs, 5’6″.

| clarks96 12 years ago | Hi Ossie thanks for getting back to me. Our activity levels are more sedentary, although I work 3 shifts per week in nursing so that is fairly active. we are trying to walk every day for 20-30 minutes. we have been on many diets, we have tried many things and can’t seem to get the weight off. We found this program and were happy it looked like a plan you can actually do for life! One thing we did notice about the menus there were a lot of carbs, like pasta and a rice dish for one meal? It generally seems like too much food. In a new post I will post a couple of days menus. Thanks clarks96 |
 Doryssb 12 years ago | Hi Radisson,
If you like Gnocci, it is on the menu planner. I know it is on the lunch, carb selection and it may be in the dinner area too.
Hello to everyone, I have been enjoying reading all the comments and they help to keep me motivated. Congrats to all that are doing well 🙂 I haven’t weighed in a while…probably because I’ve been preparing or cooking food all the time! LOL But, we have been sticking as close as possible to the plan and feel great & energetic during the day. Has anyone else noticed that when night time rolls around, boom you’re out?
Be blessed all,
Doryss |
 Marcia2013 12 years ago | I have Blue agave syrup,a low glycemic natural sweetner. can it be used? Beside following the menus, when I substitute, I am watching portions, and avoiding sugary pitfalls. Some pounds are leaving and I haven’t gone up. Yay. |
 pollyann 12 years ago | I had an email with a posting from clarks96 in which they seemed to question this programme, now I can’t find it on the newbies 2013 page??? Cant seem to find the posting or a reply??? Any ideas anyone. Shuffling my daily menues around taking some from one day and some from another but only eating the meals for the week that are on my menu list. Does anyone else do this? does it work? |
 stgeofun 12 years ago | Well, today was another busy day, with no time to prepare my meals. I’ve really enjoyed the chicken soup for the Gods (3 days in a row now! lol) But I think I’m going to try to prepare some meals ahead of time on Saturday, so I can stick a little closer to the menus. It’s not that I’m eating anything wrong, just finding all the preparation difficult. Thanks for everyone’s welcome and replies. You all help me to stay motivated! |
 Radisson 12 years ago | roxxy38 Splenda is not recommended, use stevia instead its natural. |
| Radisson 12 years ago | misfit2013 I would be really suprised to find Gnocci in TDC menus, but I could be wrong. |
 Seaborngirl 12 years ago | Morning, evening to those who are awake…and I hope our little friend Jackie is snoring well!!!
Great to read all the comments as usual…Lovely to see the photo of you and hubby YVONNEBAKER….hope it all goes well for you both.And STGEOFUN, nice to see you as well…keep up “yielding not to temptation”!
We had a young single friend over for dinner on Tuesday night…I made a beef and mushroom lasagne with gluten free organic sheets, which he and Bill loved…and my kids did the next day when they came to visit…and so did I!!!!!…sob, sob….Let myself down there!!!
But the good news is that even though the kilos are so slow coming off, my family and I are noticing that my tummy is shrinking faster than the kilos!!! Yayayyay!!! I may get my “hourglass” figure back by the time I am 70!!! hahhahahh……10 years!!! Oh my, I hope it over by then!!!!
I read about a couple of you (can’t remember who now) who have put on weight since they have started, or going up and down…I did too, and then it dropped back, and I am stable again for now. So, don’t fret over it…it is going, for some of us slower than others. I gotta get the weight off these joints of mine, but changing shape is pretty good too!!!
Whether you are sleeping, going to bed, or awake or waking….keep on cruising and eating healthy everyone… |
 apensa 12 years ago | Hats off to you Stgeofun. Keep it up. I too am waiting for the body to let go of the fat. It keeps arguing with me though…LOL. |
 misfit2013 12 years ago | Thanks Roxxy38, really appreciate the info 🙂 |
