I was a size 4 all my life...until I hit my 40s....when I blew up to a size 20! Many years ago, I lost 78 pounds and became a size 0. I maintained that weight until 3 years ago when my husband was diagnosed as terminal. With the stress, lots of hospital food, food on the run, etc., I put some of the weight back on and now…

Everyone is different and, when losing weight, needs to find what works for them. Low carb was the only thing that worked for me and, to lose, that was less than 30g a day in my case. To maintain, I can't exceed 50g a day because anything over 50g and I gain. I am extremely carb sensitive. It is different for everyone so,…

When the male dancer came over to us, my friend licked the $10 bill and stuck it to his butt cheek! Not to be outdone, another friend pulled…

The basis for not drinking with your meals or for a half hour after is that water helps to flush the food from the stomach into the intestines faster - making you feel hunger sooner. I do drink up until I eat though so I am not going overly long without fluids. It works for me. I am maintaining and have been at goal for…

I don't drink with meals or for half an hour after. I do not lke water, tea or coffee. I do not drink juice due to the high carb count. I avoid caffeine due to migraines. I also don't drink soda as even diet soda has been shown in studies ot increase feelings of hunger. My beverage of choice is Ron and Frank's…

I think what works varies per person and you have to find what works for you. I find protein works at keeping me full for a longer period of time. I also don't drink with my meals or for 30 minutes after as that makes the protein digest slower and I don't get hungry as fast. I have been at goal for almost 2 years now and…
