One of my co-workers is using it and has lost two clothing sizes in the last month or so but not a ton of weight on the scale. I am in a slump so I bought some and started them this morning. The ones I bought from Amazon are caffeine free and are called Svetol Green Coffee Gold (400mg) from Nutrigold. It says it supports…

I have a ready-to-drink Atkins Advantage chocolate shake almost everyday for breakfast because it is easy and helps with my chocolate cravings. I have a hard time eating a meal early in the morning and on my plan I must eat within an hour of waking up. The shakes work for me. I know all about portion size, etc., so I'm not…

I am doing low carb by follow Diane Kress's book called The Metabolism Miracle. I just count carbs and she prefers that we choose lower fat foods but sometimes I don't. She basically explains that if you eat really fatty stuff your body will first have to burn the fat you ate before it gets to burning the fat on our…

Holy crap, Dude! You ROCK! your post was funny but still made me all teary eyed because there is hope for the rest of us! Thanks for sharing your success - you are awesome!

I'll be 37 in March...my thirties have been the best years yet!

Congrats! You are an inspiration! Great job!

Great job! Thanks for sharing your success with us!

I am not a drinker so I have no problem turning down alcohol. When people offer something I do not eat I like to just say "thank you for offering but this doesn't fit into my plan and I've worked to hard to take steps backward now."

I was a size 22 in June, have lost almost 40 lbs and am down to a 16. Size 12 is actually my goal but I have heard so many people say that "plus size" starts at 12 - size 12 seems like a HUGE amount of success for me to get down to!

I live in South East Austin and love it!

In the past I have done the same types of weight loss plans and gained and lost the same weight over and over. the problem with something so restrictive is that when you "finish" the plan and slowly start to eat normally again the weight comes right back and usually you gain even more that you lost. I do agree to increase…

Congrats on your healthy journey! You are doing great!

I'm doing a lower carb plan so I drink the Atkins Advantage shakes that are low carb most mornings for breakfast. I'm not big on eating early in the morning so it is easier to drink a quick shake. I've lost 35 lbs. so far :)

I agree...it isn't sensible for daily eating but occasionally it is not a big deal.

I have a yin-yang and flowers on my inner ankle and I love it. I would love to get another - that would be a good reward for reaching my goals!

Every morning we are blessed with a day to start over - don't beat yourself up over a little setback. Just start at this very moment and recommit yourself to making your goals your priority. You can do this - we all believe in you!

Congratulations on reaching your goal! You were beautiful before and you are beautiful now. I cannot wait to feel that excitement and sense of accomplishment that you are feeling now! Great job!

I like to take fresh mozzarella, diced tomatoes, diced avocado, fresh basil OR cilantro and a little olive oil and garlic salt. Occasionally I add finely chopped cucumbers but they have been a little bitter this season. Mix it up and enjoy!

I've been having sugar free jello with lite cool whip when I have a craving. I like to keep my cool whip frozen so it is more the consistency of ice cream. I also enjoy Emerald's cocoa roasted almonds when I'm having a chocolate craving. Best of luck!

I am doing a program that is low carb - I'm following a book by Diane Kress called The Metabolism Miracle. It has three phases - step one is very restricted carbs and lasts at least eight weeks, step two adds in more carbs and you stay on it until you reach your comfortable size/weight, and the third maintenance step is a…
