I love playing her song Transcendence! Can't at all dance and play, though. :) As a side note, she did recently announce publicly that she's secretly battled anorexia for a long time and is getting help with that. Still love her though!

Thank you Jenny! That's what I needed to know. :)

Hey all, I have his first book, but haven't gotten the new one, yet. I have a friend who is going to start CTL and is wondering which book to get, or both. So, for those who have read or perused the new book, is it comprehensive enough for a complete newbie to the diet, or is a continuation of the first book, where a…

Oh wow...I'm so glad this group isn't dead. I have an amazing power that when I discover a blog or group or whatever that I love, it immediately dies. I'm so glad there are people still here. :)

(Please state which) I want to lose weight so I can be thin and not let my weight interfere with living life. • Tell me a bit about your past… (Were you always unhappy with…

My state quit printing the weight a few years ago...I guess too many people were not very accurate and it wasn't useful information, lol.

Hi and welcome! I eat a "whole foods + protein powder" diet and am gluten free, and haven't had any trouble making this work. :)

I don't have any tips for getting back on the wagon cause I kinda suck at that. :) But as far as the damage goes, chili, peanut butter, and nuts are really not that super high in carbs. You could have done a lot worse! :)

Oh...and occasionally "banana nut muffins" made with almond flour and flavored with banana extract.

I sometimes have a stir-fry...meat and veggies Hash made of sausage and combine with chopped veggies Deli meat and cheese Protein smoothie Anything I have for lunch or dinner

I'm from the south so I would have cole slaw and roasted okra. :)

OMG...awesome transformation...you look so strong! :) *reaching out to feel bicep*

Hot!

Jicama...what an awesome idea...I'd never thought of that. I will totally have to try that this week! http://zenbellyblog.com/2012/01/27/taco-night-with-secret-never-browns-guacamole-recipe/

That's okay Mav. I struggle with fighting off self-doubt a lot. I was a longtime low-carber and until this plan, it was the only thing had ever worked. I'm the same way about carbs and alcohol. It's hard to just have a little and then stop. Somehow the carb thing has gotten out of control for me and I've been able to just…

Hope the race goes/went well. :) I hope to be able to do one someday. I'm still working to get to Day 1 of the c25k! Today is my food prep morning. I measure out everything for my meals in the coming week and cook as much as I can. And it's fun day! :) I've got a big honkin' salad with lots of cheese, bacon, and dressing…

I have about 60 pounds to lose and I'd love to have some funny friends, too. ;)

I'm doing Chris Powell's Choose To Lose plan where I eat 5 times a day. Feel free to look at my diary for what I eat.

This of course won't work for everyone (and possibly only me) but I plan and log my meals either the night before or while I'm logging my breakfast. That way I can see how it all plays out and I can adjust quantities or foods to get the results I want. Then I'm not surprised at the end of the day. Sometimes I do have to…

I'm gluten-free and feel free to look through my diary for meal ideas. My stuff is simple and quick to make.

I also had some trouble going from L1 to L2. I don't know how much or what type of pain you are having so I can't advise there, but I continued with L1 while substituting some of the exercises from L2. Kind of a L1.5 to help transition to L2. I was way out of shape when I started the 30DS, too. I think it ended up taking…

Sometimes when I get the munchies in the evenings, I exercise for about 10 minutes. Something about the combination of taking my mind off food and the exercise that makes me not hungry for an hour or so. Sometimes I shower and do part of my nightly beauty routine for healthy feeling things to do that also help occupy…

I really like stir fry for both breakfast and lunch...meat, veggies, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, maybe a scrambled egg. If you can have some carbs you can toss in a little rice. Omelets are a nice breakfast change...meat (sausage, leftover chicken, etc), cheese, chopped veggies and some berries or fruit on the side. Wraps…
