WOW you are doing soooooooo well! Congratulations! I too am finding this to be the *easiest* (if there is such a thing LOL) plan I have ever found. It is one week for me today and I have lost 5.5 lbs and I do not feel like I will have a difficult time staying with this. Each day i feel stronger in my resolve. I don't like…

Wow you ARE doing great to be on stabilization!! Did your loss follow what Dr. Dukan said it would? What helped you be so successful! I am glad to hear you have been using the FF half and half also......so hard for me to drink coffee black. I am also so thankful that while we exercise.......it is about doing it…

WOW 28 lbs! That is amazing Jane! And even more amazing to keep it off! WELL DONE!! I think that is one of the things I like most........while it is certainly hard enough to take it off..........keeping it off is the real trick isn't it? I have losts thousands of pounds over the years........but they always seem to find…

Thanks sweetie.....I think I am beyond worrying about this now LOL My mind works overtime sometimes :laugh: I know I will never have a bikini bod again and that is okay. I really just need to be healthy and look good in clothes :bigsmile: I am so glad you have been so successful! You are such an inspiration!! Thank you…

I started it recently and so far am stunned with how easy it is and how good I feel........and I usually do not feel this way about low carb diets! I hope it is still going well for you!!

I used to work in a HOSPITAL on the OB floor......and there was ALWAYS a file cabinet filled with candy:grumble: along with regular PLATTERS of donuts, cookies, take out.........you name it around:angry: ! In a hospital!!!!:noway: SOOOO glad I do not work there anymore........it was very very hard! You have my sympathy!…

oh my goodness.........you are ADORABLE!!!!!!!

1. make love 2. plan my next vacation 3. check my bank account to see how many millions were deposited over night a girl can dream.....can't she :laugh:

Sounds like a great plan! I am so proud of you for planning to go and yes.....telling your trainer is a very wise idea......and if they are not compassionate and caring.......get another trainer. HUGS and much caring!

It depends on how severe the depression is. The only time in my life I was suicidal, I was a runner. Exercise can definitely help......but not always a cure all.

oh honey.....I am so sorry. Have you seen a medical Dr? I too struggle with depression and had a really rough summer because of it and I very much want to isolate when I feel like that. I increased my antidepressant dosage a couple of weeks ago and I feel like a new woman. Don't suffer needlessly......go see a Dr. HUGSSSS…

thank you!!:flowerforyou: I love seafood in any form.....this will be my go to also. And today is day 2 of attack and so far (knocks on wood) it is easy peasy. I am so glad it is a low fat diet as eating so much fat as in Atkins, Paleo, etc was something I could not handle. I will check out the cookbook!

in her dvd's she tells you what the walking mph is....just put in walking + mph + time into the exercise search and you will have it. Good luck and enjoy!!

shel thank you......that is so encouraging!

that is very encouraging.......thank you!

oh good for you! sounds DELISH. I have no recipe for you......but allrecipes.com is always my go to.:flowerforyou:

thank you all for your replies and helpful hints. I have been practicing the past few days and feel ready to start tomorrow. I have 4 days of attack! Wish me well. and thank you for being here and being helpful!

I hugged President Obama and Hilary Clinton. They are both very warm and lovely people.

when I lived in the mountains.......we went hiking. When I moved to the midwest......we walked. LOL

oh I think this is just the sweetest thing anyone could say.......thank you precious!

Thank you ALL so very much for your kindness and support. It has helped me more than you can know.. I will take all your wise advice and use it to continue on!:flowerforyou:

so true......yes and thank you!

thank you so so so much for this advice to take another picture and post on facebook. I will do that this weekend. Also I do not know untag :(. And yes she is a very angry and passive aggressive person........I will try really really hard not to try to find revenge at the next picture taking session LOL. Thank you for your…

what a beautiful and touching tribute to your beloved nan. I KNOW she is with you always, all ways. May you (eventually) find comfort and peace in all of the blessings she brought into your life and world.

oh yes, and the main reason I want to do this is because I have sinus issues and skin issues. I am glad to see that this has solved that problem for some of you! very encouraging!!

Thank you ALL for your great feedback and ideas. My little granddaughter acutally is on goatmilk products and I have tried the cheese etc, just can't get past the taste.......but I love the idea of cutting out all dairy and then reintroducing one by one in a month or two as I LOVE butter! And in the meantime, I will try…

Just found this on wikipedia. "Ghee has a long shelf-life and needs no refrigeration if kept in an airtight container to prevent oxidation. The texture, color and taste of ghee depends on the source of the milk obtained and the duration of boiling"
