    I would like to know more about one one one diet. I dont like saying diet so lets think of another word. 8) anyway I would like to lose 30 pounds by july.

    I hate the word diet, too! It's more like a strategy and the author calls it that. You have one carb, one protein, and one fat at each meal..3 meals/2 snacks.

    Marie is on it and got me interested so I owe this all to her! The name of the book is The One One One Diet by Rania Batayneh. Marie and I both downloaded it on Kindle. I ended up buying the hard copy as well. It just makes sense. No elimination of any food groups and no special food.

    Goodness...this group is growing! Welcome all and good morning!
    Had a good week so far but tomorrow will tell when I weigh in. But got so many comments on my weight loss yesterday...was even called skinny! Ha - nice to hear but far from it! Such motivation. And the sun is out and a three day weekend - perfect!
    Remember you may not have much but smiles are free and everyone could use one!

    EATLESS83 - There is no sheet to enter here. There are two threads for 20 pounds until Easter. This thread has been started by Marie. The one you want is called 10 pounds before Valentines day. That was the old 20 pounds before Christmas with a spreadsheet. There may be another one if so, I don't know what it is.

    Good Morning Losers!

    I have lost 1 pound this week. Back to my South Beach Plan and it is working.
    I ordered a new book and it arrived this week. My book looks like it has been put through
    the mill.

    Our weather today is 27F but I will bundle up and go for a walk today.

    Good luck to everyone!

    Marie - I have hamburger and soup on my eating plan. I don't use the word diet either. :)

    Lin (Northern Ontario) You are way up there in the North. How is your weather today?

    Connie and Marie - Your plan is peaking my interest. I will continue on my plan but if I don't see some better results I may switch it up. Or wait until the next challenge.

    :D I have always known what to eat and how many calories to eat but still couldn't get the weight off and keep it off. The hard part is finding out how to stay with your plan whatever it is . There are no magic foods or magic food plans,

    A book I read that really helped me is "The Thin Commandments Diet"...it has a food plan but most important it has a wealth of information about how to stay on your plan and not be sidelined by stress, family, pushy friends, discouragement and all the other things that get in the way.

    :D Someone told me that I have great willpower. I learned from the book that "Strategy is stronger than willpower". I have a strategy for every food event and I use it.

    :D Now I'm off to walk my dogs for about 90 minutes, then get cleaned up and dressed and go teach my beginner line dance class. Sparkle and LinC and I (and some of the rest of you, but I forget who) all know that dancing is a great way to burn calories and get happier.

    If it's not too late, can I join you? I'm trying to lose the last 20 lbs of baby weight, my son is almost 2.5 and I'm still carrying weight from my last pregnancy. Tried on and off but always failed, I just can't seem to resist chocolate. Hopefully this time I will stick to it.

    Shirley you have no reasons to change, SBD is definite working for you. No matter what diet you are on Barbie said it right. "Strategy is stronger than willpower". """"" have a strategy for every food event and I use it."""""' I for sure need to practice this more
    I am not pushing the one one one plan. but it is working for me. But still have a lot to learn
    and I think it is good to discuss the difference. Plans that are available to us.

    Hi everyone, Sorry I have not posted for awhile, I just got home from 10 days of cleaning up the home of my daughter's partner. She died on the 4th of January. She was a hoarder, and had lived this way for all of her life. She had lived in her home for 20 years when she died. My daughter, who is mentally and physically disabled, had lived with her for the past 7 1/2 years, so I had to not only clean up the mess but move my daughter to an assisted living apartment. I certainly got my exercise by packing, lifting, and carrying, bags, boxes, furniture, and just plain stuff and junk from 7:00 am to 10:00 pm every day for the past 10 days. most of the stuff went to the trash dumpsters, some went to Good Will, and some went to my daughter's new apartment. The woman's family members swooped in took everything that had any value whatsoever, and left the mess. I couldn't believe that anyone would do that but they did. I am exhausted, but I did loose 2.6 lbs! Anyway I am back for a while, have to go back again to move the bigger furniture next week. At least I will have help this time from my DH.
    Sorry for the rant.

    I haven't been on either :( sorry. I had a slight gain over Christmas and then hurt myself pretty badly. Just now I am getting back to normal. I was on pain medication that I was told would cause "backup" (sorry Tmi). I am starting excersizes again today and should show a loss next week

    Eta before Christmas 185 current 188
