 eilis408 11 years ago | Hit my second major goal today! The first one was to “drop 20”. The next…to drop 15. Today, I am proud to say I have lost a total of 35lbs. since the middle of June! |
 blessingcatcher 11 years ago | Wow, AnnaH! I am inspired! What a wise thing to do … break your losses into increments! You go, girl!!! You’ll make it one of these days, and we’ll be celebrating the finish line just like we are celebrating the first 20 (21, actually) right now!! Let’s hear a big “YAHOO”!!! Hear us all? We’re cheering for you right now, Anna!! And, djembejen, how quickly you picked up the routine!! Already switching out foods for ones you know you’ll eat!! Impressive, ladies!! And, as you both keep on in the program, let me encourage you to try new things as well … even if you do it little by little! We have tried couscous, brown basmati, cooked quinoa and millet … and dishes prepared with all the above, to name a few. It expands our horizons and helps us broaden our eating habits to more healthy options! Don’t ya love that TDC!!! 😉 |

 astanley90 11 years ago | I too lost about 15 pounds even though I’m eating out once on the weekends. It seems I’ve reached my plateau and I’m just maintaining now which is fine. I wanted to lose another 10 pounds but I can get back into clothes I haven’t worn in years so I’m happy with that. I think the holiday’s are going to be hard but I’ll stay on the plan as much as I can. For anyone who thinks of stopping after a few weeks, the weight loss will slow down, but I feel better and I’m not hungry so even if I just maintain this weight, I’m happy with my new lifestyle. |
| Deborahjjhayes 11 years ago | Whooo Hoooo!! I’m so excited for you!!!You stuck it out and it paid off. Terrific! |
 AnnaH 11 years ago | Congratulations Blessingcatcher on sticking with it and reaching your goal. |
 Ossie-Sharon 11 years ago | MEZwirn, that is great news! I hope you continue to do well and feel well 🙂 |
| Deborahjjhayes 11 years ago | They are having some technical difficulties but now have my comments, forum,& page numbersworking in less than 24 hours. I say find it in your heart to give them time to fix it. It’s been working great for months! |
 MEZwirn 11 years ago | I’m following the plan without much difficulty and in two weeks lost 7 lbs!!! I cut out processed “white bread and pasta”. Now, I eat gluten-free or brown rice pasta — even my two teens like it, (especially the cork-screw shape pasta). I take salads, fruit, edamame, brown rice, no-fat Greek yogurt (sweetened with Stevia) to work for lunch. Dinner, I have a protein (fish, chicken, sprouted tofu rarely beef), salad, veggie, and carb (gluten free or brown rice pasta or brown rice). For breakfast, I eat gluten-free cereal (sprinkled with chia or flax seeds) or sprouted wheat muffin, and fruit. Snacks are edamame, fruit, brown rice cakes w/ hummus spread, and low-fat string cheese. I eat every 2 to 3 hours on a schedule (6 am, 9 am, 12 pm, 3 pm, 6 pm, 7:30 pm. I do not allow myself to get hungry. As I always have — I buy the majority of my food at Trader Joes and Whole Foods. I hope that this helps others that are struggling. |

 weightstruggler 11 years ago | Johnny, I too have dropped my diastolic from a solid 90 into the 70s, in the first week. I’m looking forward to the doctor telling me to cut back on my meds. |
| weightstruggler 11 years ago | Thank you Deb. I’m Donna, by the way. When I signed up, I didn’t know what to use for a name. I picked this one because I’ve been struggling and yo yoing since I was a teenager. I’m hoping for more good things in the coming weeks. |
