    You must feel amazing! I had to laugh when I read your salad/portion sizes. I'm glad I'm not the only one who eats a salad full of veggies that could feed a family of 4! Thanks for putting it all together.
  • Thank you for this! Just started this and absolutely love this summary of tricks all in one place. Nice to see what really works!

    Oh, yeah. Congrats. These all work together.

    I use a Fitbit, but also in need of a HRM to kick it up to the next gear.

    I'm 5'7", 49 and -70 lbs in 9 months. But I've slowed to 5 lbs a month, which is okay, but I want to keep going. Another 30 lbs minimum.

    Love these strategies, especially the tea.
    I feel like it works mentally as well as physically, because it forces me to slow down and take the time to sip s-l-o-w-l-y.

    Thanks for writing them all out!

    This is fab will refer to this but can you say where you got your low g veg print outs from?
    My list was actually "hard copy" from a gym, but just from Googling here's a list that looks pretty similar to what I was using:
    http://www.glycemicgourmet.com/glycemic-index-table.html (the ones with the "dots" are little-to-no blood sugar impact)

    Here's another list that looks good:
