  • I did this diet a couple of years ago and got great results...HOWEVER I didn't follow through the consolodation phase and "fell off the carb wagon" I am a carb addict for sure. What I did like about it, and why I'm going on it again as of yesterday as it gave me a sense of control over those cravings, it provided me a…
  • Can I ask why this is so important to any of us to discuss is depth, unless it's answer a question from someone wanting help or support. We aren't on this site to be judged or accused of cheating...at the end of the day we can only hold ourselves accountable, and if someone wants to count cleaning or anything then why not,…
  • On the bike or treadmill at home - catch up on soaps :smile: But just got a new exercise video and it's kicking my butt. LOVE IT. Kendra Wilconson's Be a knockout with Kendra. My muscles have not ache this much in a long time. So right now, I just workout, when i workout...how boring am I :laugh:
  • Can I suggest a check up with your doctor first. It was a nice jumping off place, get a proper weight in, get a full work up so I know my body was ready. Was going to go high protein so had kidneys checked and cholesterol. It's also great to have your thyroid checked to make sure that's good. And for females those nasty…
  • I've found great success with the Dukan diet. Do some research on it (websites, facebook, and on here) to see if it might work for you.
  • I've been on Dukan for one month. I've seen 16lbs lost but the loss in inches and clothing size is substantial. There is a Dukan support site, where you can sign up for coaching, and a facebook group, but the key is the book. I go back to it frequently. My favorite snack is 2 tbls spoons oatbran, water and sweetner.…
  • Have you read the book? I do the 20mins in attack phase and the 30 mins in cruise (where I am now) of exercise. I use my exercise bike or treadmill. There are very clear approved food for the Pure Protein attack phase and then through each phase. I find the most important thing is to not use processed foods with hidden…
  • I'm on day 14. I did 10 days of attack and I'm down 8.5 lbs and inches have come off. I'm seeing definition in my jaw line, and noticed the muscle tone in the calves as well. I've stuck pretty solid to the allowed foods and water. I'm finding all kinds of recipes and going to the Dukan site for more everyday. I lost weight…
  • I've been looking into CLA - it apparently helps to rid belly fat after steady use for a month or so. I don't think it's a maguc cure but it's supposed to help.
  • I just finished Eat, Pray, Love. I avoided the movie to get the book first. I LOVED it and it's really helped to further my desire to get healthy mind and body. :heart: It's an awesome read and has an easy flow. It's one of those books I can't wait to read AGAIN. I'm kind of afraid to watch the movie. I reccomend this book…
  • Welcome, if you'd like to friend me please do so. I think this site is awesome. It makes it easy to really see the weight and inches come off, I eat what ever I want in porion control and moderation...cake and pizza is still apart of my diet :) I love how I can work out more to balance a higher calorie day. My only…
  • I'm in. I need to lose at least 50 lbs and then reassess goals. Any group that can keep me on track - thanks. I always start off great and fizzle out after a month or so.
  • I use it intermittatly with sugar and sweetner (depending on where I am) I have a box at home and work, as well as their french vanilla version, which is awesome for that fix. It's a different flavour but I like it. I found it at CO-OP and have seen it at Shoppers Drug mart.
  • This site is addicting. It's an easy tracking program, it's got resources and friends, and it's a personal challenge to stay under calorie goal every day, I hope you find it as helpful as I have so far. The best part is how easy they've made it for us. Good Luck
  • Thanks everyone that was all awesome advice and it's always better to hear from real people than a report or article. I appreiciate it and I'm definitely going to give it a try and figure out what's best for me. :)
