    Eve23, what are you doing? Just counting calories or something else too? Your weight loss is great and I would love some tips.

    Thank you Marie,
    The biggest thing I am doing is counting calories. My diet is somewhat limited because of allergies. So I take in very little dairy products. I do eat some yogurt and cheese but otherwise I don't touch it. I have been doing a high fiber diet more or less that I am not good at following however I do take a lot of the tips and use them. I also do not consume any corn products that includes corn syrup. I do not consume aspartame as it gives me migraines and my husband suffered from aspartame poisioning many years ago. We do not use sucrulose or splenda product. We keep things as natural as possible.

    I do walk for exercise but most of that is done at work. I have changed my settings to 35% to 40%carb , 40 protein, and 25% fat. I raised my fiber intake 35 which is recommended and it keeps you from having cravings and full.

    Honestly that is the only things I do. Besides taking vitamin supplements and a supplement for my thyroid.

    Eve

    Thanks Eve. I have read a lot about eating more natural foods over processes foods. (I'm not too good at this.) I also changed my settings so that my carb intake would only be 25 %. (Carbs seem to be a real problem area for me.) Anyway, thanks for your input and encouragement. Keep up the good work!

    Now am down to 312 pounds. God is good!

    My goal is to lose NO LESS THAN 100 pounds in one year. ( Hopefully more)

    Good for you Healthier- Nice to be back on track huh? (especially after eating alfredo!)

    As for me, I gained a half a pound. But my percent body fat went down two percent since last time I checked! yeah! and I think I didn't eat nearly enough over the past 4-5 days. So, next time I am sure I will have recouped that slight gain. In the meantime I will dream about alfredo................Do not even tell me how good it was!

    My lips are sealed on the alfredo :-x

    I think it's been awhile since I updated. I just completed by 7th week. I started at 204, am now at 187.8. So, that's 16lbs in 7 weeks! Nothing like good old fashioned calorie counting...
