First of all ..By doing one type of DIET you set yourself up to FAIL you will gain all of the weight back and probably more... This has to be a life style change not a diet. You should not eliminate any one type of food but eat in MODERATION.,and EXERCISE.. This is a slow long and steady process, but with friends and…

I have to be honest. With all of the goodies in my house i have not really been sticking to the Olivia Method :o(...I am down 0.04 though. So i am sure after the new year i will give it my all and drop like crazy. No pressure Olivia. you just had some good advice and shared. And we all thank you for that. Have a Very Merry…

That is a cool website..I am going to tryit out for a while :smile:

I am right there with you. Although my husband is trying to change his lifestyle with me, And we do allof our shopping together. Maybe if you bring your husband into it as well it will be easier to block out all of those other *kitten* holes..One bite does hurt. I am not saying don't have cheat days but save those bites…

Your food diary looks good. Your exercise diary looks good. Maybe you are just building alot of muscle. I would definitly rest a little more..I wouldn't eat unless i was hungry. Just my opinion. :smile:

Mine is open to Friends only. I wouldn't say i am a good role model but i exercise everyday and try to eat healthy..I will send you a friend request ::smile:

LOL I am with you..I would love tolose 25 pounds before my 43rd. which is next Dec 2nd..I have a good feeling i can do it.. :drinker:

don't get frustrated. Things take time. time for your body to adjust. are you exercising / lifting weights or just dieting? what are your calories? do you eat a lot of sugar? drink enough water? you have to calculate what works best for your body. need more than a week. :smile:

Congratulations on your new decision..you will LOVE it here. Feel free to add me as a friend

I believe you are supposed to eat 3 meals a day with 2 snacks. Portion control does matter. The reason for more food is to keep your body fueled so it can continue to burn fat..it is like a car..you have to fuel it to get it to go..no fuel you wil putter out and die (Starve)..If you keep you metabolisim going it will…
