I've been using one since Jan & it's helped me to lose 47 lbs. I don't follow recipes when making mine...just vary my veggies & fruits. More then finding what I like, I've found what I don't like. There's only been about 2 or 3 that were horrible...trial & error. One thing I almost always do is add one or two, usually two,…

thanks, i checked out your profile and read the link to the article that you posted on there ...going to pass it on to a friend who might be interested.

thank you, congrats on 15lbs to go....what is your total loss and what's worked best for you? [/quote] Lost 25 so far...should be around 40 when it's all said and done. What's worked for me is basically staying consistent. I weigh and measure everything I eat and I log it. I started out with a more aggressive approach (2…

Well, it's going in the right direction. You have relatively little to lose (10 to 15 lbs.- per your profile) which is probably why it's slower then you'd like (sigh). Thanks for your feed back.

thanks again, sounds like you know your stuff! ;)

Don't know what stronglifts are but it sounds like you're working out. I look forward to implementing exercise too, especially for the health aspects, ie: blood pressure & cholesterol. Thanks for your feed back.

I hadn't thought about the loose skin aspect...food for thought. That's wonderful that you're able to run like that-so good for your heart! Thanks for the feedback.

thank you, that's encouraging, to see your fluctuation, and yet your overall success. The exercise is I'm sure one of your key factors.

I believe that's a good healthy weight loss rate at our age, I'm 48. You're under 2 lbs. From what I understand 2 lbs or less is healthy. Have you heard otherwise? Regardless, it will probably slow down anyway, as we usually lose more in the beginning due to water weight, and being at our heaviest, etc... What are you…

thank you, what weight are you maintaining at 1900 calories? [/quote] Mid 150's. It jumps around a bit due to hormones (I'm peri-menopausal). I'm 5'5" [/quote] Wow! That's a pretty good metabolism for our age, I'm 48, 5'4". Thanks for your feedback, I find it even more helpful when it's someone who is close to my age &…

eat above maintenance with exercise (to gain muscle) correct?

thanks, are you losing with exercise or no?

thank you, so what nutrient goals do you try to maintain?

thank you, what weight are you maintaining at 1900 calories?

LOL... too funny....thanks for clarifying! :laugh:

ok, i'll check it out, thanks again.

thank you for the feedback. Agreed, I know exercise is KEY, just working with what I've got to work with right now and will move on to exercise as soon as my health permits. The info. you gave will be helpful to me.

Are you exercising too or is that loss just from the calorie intake?

oh my! Has this been hard for you to stick to that calorie range given your weight? that's awesome that you're losing and it makes sense that you would lose a lot and faster because of your weight. What are you doing to stick to the 1300? Are you also exercising? I haven't exercised yet due to health issues.

thank you, another poster gave me the formula for this so I'm going to try & figure it all out. I appreciate the feedback. How is this working for you?

So are you saying you've been on a plateau for 6 mos. and prior to that you lost up to 1.5 a week?

Well I have good news for you. I have been in bed or resting for about 3 months. I've lost my weight during this time, by doing what I told you....adding the juicing. I have adrenal exhaustion and haven't yet been able to exercise. So with no exercise and completely sedeatry...I've lost 22 lbs...and I started out at a…

thanks will have to check that out. and yes, i'm glued to the scale too...i need to work on that.
