Finally, a voice of reason....people that hang their hats on a chart and a number are doing an injustice to themselves. Consult with your Physician, they are the ones that know you, that know your medical issues etc. THEY are the best judge of what is healthy for you, not someone on this website. If I was to weigh what the…

Sorry, not a fan. It constantly was dumping my daily stats, it often didn't sync well with the computer unless "forced" and the tech support was really bad. I think mine is in the bottom drawer in the kitchen. I picked up a regular pedometer on Amazon that figures steps, aerobic minutes, calories etc. It cost less than $30…

Liver... :sick: It has a HUGE "ewwwww" factor. Just the sight of it make me gag...:noway:

I agree with most here regarding accurate tracking of calories, weight and exercise. What I see is a LOT of "packaged" foods, not a lot of veggies and fruits.....white breads instead whole wheat/whole grains. Packaged foods contain a lot of sugars and sodium, both of which are not good for you. While you may be staying…

I think you should speak with your Doctor and see if they can help you come up with a good eating and exercise plan. You have some issues that someone in the medical field should be keeping an eye on. I don't think there is anyone here that has the expertise or the credentials to help you stay on track. I'm not say this to…

Thanks for the suggestions Sabine and Nanc. I'm down another pound today...still loving the results. Sabine, yes, this is the first time I've done South Beach, Lord knows I've tried everything else. I have to admit that I am really motivated by the loss so far. I lost a lot of weight on Weight Watchers once but gained 1/2…

I agree, I have NO intention of doing the "30 day shred"....not for this old lady! LOL....Yes Sabine, by all means let's start a new group and I agree with Nanc, you'd be the perfect leader. You can count on me to be there each day and help keep the chatter up! :smile:

I'm almost afraid to hit that Phase 1.5 !! I know I have to add back some fruit and whole grains but I fear a gain...at this point it would kill me! :noway:

Well, it's working for me. Finally something that is getting the weight off. I love seeing the results that's for sure. I do get a bit cranky when I follow a plan, exercise 5-6 days a week and see NO progress.......I am so encouraged thus far....I know I will get to a point where things will slow down weight wise but I…

Thanks Nanc....feeling much better today with the added dairy. Surprising how much that helped!:smile:

Wow, it's totally banned in my grandkids schools. They can no longer even take cupcakes to school for their birthdays! You will be called and reminded if you happen to slip and put some in your child's lunch sack too.

Eggs, scrambled and juice, black coffee, bottle of water 8oz V-8 Juice 1/2 cup egg substitute 1 slice Canadian Bacon 2 TBS FF Shredded Cheddar Cheese 1/2 cup mixed fresh veggies (spinach, zucchini, onion and green peppers)

10 glasses of water...... Protein = boneless skinless chicken, cottage cheese, ricotta, eggs, cheese. Veggies, lots of raw cut veggies, salad, cabbage, broccoli, snow peas.... Woke up this morning completely NOT hungry, not one single bit. I don't care if I eat at all today.....I guess the diet is working as I don't have…

Thanks for the info. I will try and add more...

Nanc, I had to laugh about the "phone" comment. While I'm pretty darn computer savvy I have a "dumb" phone...all the thing does is ring, it doesn't even take a message.....so all that fancy stuff means nothing to me! I'm happy to hear it helps you though, whatever works right? :wink:

Just joining "The Beach"....Phase 1, Day 5....glad to be here. Hoping to see lots of chatter here! I was invited by Celebrate2013 and I'm thrilled to be here! I have dropped 5.6 pounds so far...what's not to love about that. Still having a few issues with feeling a bit weak and some leg cramps but I'm thinking it's because…
