Thanks for all the wishes of luck in this experiment: I got my delivery of Glucomannan 90 capsules - 700 mg today and will start the trial tomorrow before dinner. I talked to my Primary Care Physician and he told me to keep him abreast of what happens as I begin taking the Gluc. He also mentioned that there's a possibility…

SEPT. 24: ME: *16 LNS: 8 Each day takes so much self-control but when I succeed, it's all worth it. Have a great rest of the week! Peace, Jeff :wink:

Sept 23: ME: 15 LNS: *8 Stress at work is pushing me to snack in the evenings. This will have to stop! BREATHE! Jeff :ohwell:

Thanks for the responses thus far. I would still like to hear from people that have actually used the product to hear about their experiences. Although it was suggested that this was much more expensive than eating tons of cabbage and beans for the same effect, the price I found from Swanson's Vitamins was a little over 10…

Sept. 19: ME: 12 LNS: *7 It's so discouraging to be "good" all day long and then blow it all in a binge right near bedtime. I know I should let it go sooner than I do and remind myself that each day, each moment, is another opportunity for success. However, when I start a binge, I usually have good intentions and carefully…

Seot. 18 ME: *12 LNS: 6 I can't believe how much easier it is today to NOT snack. I find that if I resist having dessert immediately after dinner and have it later in the evening, I feel much more satisfied throughout the evening hours. No cravings, no hunger, no late night snacking! Peace, Jeff :happy:

Sept. 17 ME: 11 LNS: *6 I wish I could be a little more consistent...I'll go along just fine then BAM...a few days of uncontrollable eating. But with half the month over I'm happy that more of the days have been good than bad. When I start on a binge, it's almost like I need a good slap in the face to knock me to my…

Sept. 16: ME: *11 LNS: 5 Last night was the hardest night of the month thus far. I had only 14 calories left to consume and I was determined not to go over my limit. I was practically near tears as I told my partner that, "It's hell being a food addict!" So I drank lots of water and lay down but all I could think about was…

Sept. 14: ME: 9* LNS: 5 NO Late night snacking for me tonight! Woo-Hoo! Peace, Jeff :happy:

Tomorrow morning I am planning a turkey, kale, and sweet onion omelet. I'm hungry already! :laugh:

Sept 8: ME: *5 LNS:: 3 Even though I ate more than I wanted to, I still stayed under my calorie goals. I did not feel out of control and logged everything that I ate. I can do this! :wink: Peace, Jeff

Sept 7: . ME: *4 LNS: 3 Yay! Thanks Lisa for the tips. I am doing better at this than I expected and each day gets a little easier to stay in control. Have a good evening! Jeff :happy:

Sept 6: ME: 3 LNS: 3* Even though it's not night time yet, I'm going to concede today to LNS. I have been on a binge since last night - recording everything really points out to me how I can lose control at any time. I know it's okay to snack but it must be kept in moderation. I've eaten so much today already (mostly…

Sept. 5 ME: 3 LNS: 2* Friday night meant there was popcorn and ice cream and Cheetos and chocolate and ... Tomorrow is another opportunity to succeed! :ohwell:
