A support group on here is key! I did this 6 years ago and it worked. I fell away from posting and my support group. I am also looking for support as I transform again, this time for good! Add me..

I would love to join.

I am also quitting sugar! (Working on Splenda as well) 4 years ago I gave it up completely and felt so good. I am on Day 1 today. (Not looking forward to days 3-4). Good luck!

I was doing great and fell right off. I joined his online group but didn't feel it offered too much more than the book and freebies. There were some good recipes I wish that I had copied before quitting! Good luck to you both!

I lost 50 pounds a few years ago using MFP and Jorge Cruise's Belly Fat Cure. I really believe it is the logging that keeps you losing! I have gained back a lot and I am ready to go again.

Normal.....that's just trouble! Find a new healthy lifestyle. I gave up sugar which I thought was crazy but is actually very doable for me. Find something you can live with for the rest of your life. Eating healthy can be a fantastic experience, it just take commitment. you can splurge once in a while, but for me, normal…

You really need to eat 1200 calories! I found that anytime I tried to kick it up and lose by not eating 1200 calories I just stopped losing! Eat:)

My first 5K is April 30th! Can't wait! Today I ran 3 miles in 36:01.

OK, just saw the update! That is funny! I think I will stick with front butt though!:)

Can't wait to hear what FUPA stands for! I call mine the front butt! Would love to get rid of it but it seems to be very attached to me! I think it is a love/hate relationship!

I have eliminated almost all sugar from my diet. I know that it sounds crazy! I had tried every diet and nothing had worked for me. I started reading Jorge Cruise's Belly Fat Cure and jumped right on the bandwagon. I have lost 50 pounds and really have had no trouble maintaining. I am not a BFC purist (I still use some…

I started the Belly Fat Cure last January and lost 50 pounds! I also credit logging everything here on MFP. I had tried lots of diets and exercise programs that did not work for me at all. This one works for me!

Way to go!

Eat cheese, nuts, avocados...healthy fats! You can do this! I started last January first and lost 50 pounds by August! Stay true and you can do it!:)

I have a piece of sugar free dark chocolate or some frozen cool whip! It helps:)

WOW!!! Thanks guys! I have gotten a little lax the last few weeks about logging and checking the website. I logged on today and found all of your wonderful posts! They were just what I needed to keep on going!!!!!!!!

I think that MFP is helping you keep track of healthy eating habits! That's wonderful!!!!! Some of us (ME!!!!!!!!!) obsess about the number on the scale. It dictates so many feelings and emotions. A big part of this journey to wellness (both physical and emotional) is finding peace with your body. Good for you for not…

I eat a pickle or olives instead! It works for me! Cutting them out is rough for a few weeks. When I really can't take it anymore I have sugar free chocolate.

Sheyna1983, I did not exercise at all ( I know, I know..... I am going to have to start so that I can tone up) I have been logging every bite and doing Jorge Cruise's Belly Fat Cure. Very limited sugars and restricted carbs. I have adapted it to our lives and has been easy to follow! To everyone, Thanks for all the bells…

Good luck! This has helped me so much!

It has worked for me but I have modified it! I stay right at 1200 calories, 100 carbs and 10 grams of sugar. I am really strict about those 3 things.

1 pound left and it is taking forever!!!! The last 5 have been so much harder to lose. I just keep reminding myself it is a lifestyle not a diet! I will get there and so will you!

A hostess gift is always a good idea! It doesn't have to be expensive. It really is the thought that counts. It is very thoughtful of you! Enjoy your weekend!

I log every bite! It stinks but it works! There have been so many times I wished I would have logged it before I ate it! I would never have eaten it!

This is one of those guilty pleasures I look forward to every summer!

Good luck to you! I have been on the BFC since January 1. I love it!

THe Belly Fat Cure is a book by Jorge Cruise. The premise is swapping bad carbs for good carbs. Basically you eat 120 grams of carbs and under 15 grams of sugar a day. It works! The first 3 weeks I lost 12 pounds. After that I have slowed down but I have lost 38 pounds since January 1!

I kept all of mine from 10 years ago! My daughters were appalled when I tried them on two weeks ago! They were actually too big! I gave them to Goodwill. One daughter asked why I hadn't given them away before. She really did not understand that I had to be able to fit back in them to get rid of them!

I just realized that I came home and snacked on nuts and didn't log them! Now I am over!

Sounds great! I did great on the plan so far today however I find the Fast Track very hard! I need just a few 0 sugar crackers!
