add me , i'm happy to help

exercise definitly helps , it will also in time give you more energy , better mental and physical health , I say it goes hand in hand . You do not have to go balls to the wall at first , start out with some 30 minute exercise DVD's or walking , you will feel your energy go up and your head clear and be more confident ,…

26 pounds , LOL , yes , completely possible , 2 pounds weekly .

I think you will lose a lot if you stick to that regimen , but people who have over 100 pounds to lose usually do it within a year to a year and a half , I would say you should stick to losing it safely , I agree with the previous poster that you need to reevaluate why you are doing this and how to go about it safely . If…

the best way to curb your cravings is to eat low carb , after the first few days up to a week , then the cravings dissapear

3 people very close to me had tried this for 3 months , no results ......

try googling carbohydrate addict , there is a test and a lot of info , I tripped upon it last week and am trying out the eating plan to reduce my cravings and insulin resistance

i am LC right now also , I also see no changes when I count calories not to mention the intense cravings I get from eating small amounts of carb . I am trying out the carbohydrate addicts diet because I need to have one normal meal per day

The idea is to learn how to eat carbs so that they work like they are supposed to , that is why they allow a reward meal with carbs , because it is balanced and the veg & protein will help slow down the IR and to process properly , then eventually once you regulate your insulin , to find the right balance of carbs you can…

lol , I do my best to ignore ignorance , some people don't get it and are so unhappy they enjoy bringing others down , in person I would place him , but there is protocol on message forums .

I have also tried just counting calories , it doesn't work for me . I am a carb addict no question , my body is insulin resistant , this regulates that and everything that goes along with carb addiction , such as mood swings , foggy thoughts and low energy . I know eating low carb regulates all that for me , but it gets…

It is a series of books written by the Kellers about carbohydrate addiction and how to control how insulin reacts in your body . basically eat no carb breakfast and lunch , supper always starts with a salad or cut up raw veg , a low carb veggie side , protein , and a carb , even desert if you want , as long as your meal is…

those are great rewards , but the most rewarding thing is to be able to fit into old clothes . I use my family trips to keep me motivated , we are going to universal this summer , I do not want to be embarrassed and not fit on rides , so i will make sure `i lose weight ,lol . My ultimate reward will be a new wardrobe !

I am going to challenge my family to do the " couch to 5K " program , we have a treadmill in the garage that my daughter begged me to get , it needs to be used . I want to add some core exercises to that , maybe some fun yoga and dance DVD's . We will start skiing ( me) and snowboarding (kids) next weekend !

great group idea ! My family really looks up to me , so the buck stops here ! it consists of me 42 year old , I work full time in sales on a commission basis , it can be stressful . My spouse , works shift work full time and is trying to get a degree in computor networking , we are constantly on the run trying to keep up…

My 11 year old son is overweight , quite a bit overweight , I would say he probably needs to drop at least 25 pounds . He is a very , very picky eater . My road with him has been a tough one , he has ODD and ADHD so I have always had to pick my battles . We seem to have those issues under control for now , so I am going to…

Hey there everyone , I am also a rebounder ......sighhhh , this is one vicious cycle I need to break . I have had recent success with South Beach , but then I rebound right back from deprivation . I am going to try and just eat sensibly and track my food and get in some exercise that I so desperately need for my mind and…

toss the broc in some olive oil , add garlic , a bit of cayenne if you like or whichever spices you like and roast it at 400 , it is so yummy , i like that better than fries , recipe works well with cauliflower as well

i actually get sick of eating salad before i'm done , i also need add in's like light feta , chicken and I find avocado really helps me get it all down , and once i do , i am good for the rest of the day until supper

I am a huge carb addict , I started south beach 2 weeks ago , first week was hell , like a crack addict without crack , just finished week 2 and my cravings along with my appetite dissapeared competely , I used to live to eat , now I eat to live ! I feel better , look and think clearer , no more tummy problems , gas or…
