Ok thanks. I haven't been texting for ketosis at all but I will check out the site.

I have found many people say that ketosis is why they are losing weight, they don't count calories. That is where I am getting that info from. I am eating around 1800 calories a day. I am not sure if I am in ketosis. But my carb intake is below 50 a day.

I have considered doing a more vegan approach to this. And will likely try to do more..I just don't like the protein powdered shakes as is. I would have to seriously doctor it up. Thank you!!

Sorry but I am not comfortable with taking those type of supplements. Thanks for replying though.

Thank you sooo much everyone. I have been off reading and educating myself through all of the sources you all have given me. It has been a great help. Now I am just working on being hungry all the time. It seems to be a contradiction to what everyone says. "Protein keeps you full" so I am considering not counting calories…

Thank you so much. I really appreciate the links as well. I am off to check them out now. any little bit helps. I must admit some of you amazing people in this thread have really talked me down off of a ledge. I guess sitting in the house has made me all restless and impatient. But it is ok, and I know now that I can get…

thank you! I will definitely take suggestions so I can size these up and see what is best for me...especially with my dwindling budget.

I love gadgets too and fit bit sounds good! It has been a crazy year but I can not complain. My doctors are surprised I am alive right now. I think I may have found a bike though! Exerpeutic 1000 Magnetic Recumbent Bike w/Pulse. Maybe I will get that. I love starbucks! but im a tea girl. So I wouldnt do too bad calorie…

oh and I was wondering about pedometers. do they all work??

nice. hadnt seen one of these before. Thanks!

I just pictured flying through the isles of target lol. rofl I almost tried zumba once but I chickened out. I cant dance! I have been doing research on tai chi and yoga. I need to find a dvd for that. stretching may help with the muscle spasms from the viruses! Thanks for that reminder.

I would love to. I am still recovering from the viruses that landed me hospitalized for weeks. They say it will take me a lot longer to get better. I just see that I am gaining weight so fast. I know I should continue to only monitor my food but I think maybe I am just upset about the weight gain. They have no clue when…

It can very very tricky. I would lose nothing for months at a time and then drop 2 lbs every week for a month, and then stop again. Pills never help me. I have always wondered if it was because my doctors will not give me enough meds to put me anywhere above the very minimum normal range.

I have been looking into a pedometer as well. I have heard of fitbit but not too familiar. I dont think I have any of the dance DVDs (dont buy them because I can not dance lol). but another good idea to run by my doctor thanks.

I can not get to the gym every day. I am not supposed to be driving. I probably will not be able to afford one of the professional (expensive) ones at the gym anyways. unless I can find one on craigslist for a lot less lol.

I certainly agree I need to get a regimen going, along with my diet ( I have been working on that again). but I have to be in the house and I have to have a heart rate monitor. I could try lifting something heavy....I do not have any weights lol.

I will ask my doctor about that. She may not agree to it because she wants me seated doing low impact stuff. Because, my ankle recently started bleeding inside and it created the biggest lump and bruise ever (can happen with blood thinners). I was not able to walk on it for weeks and now have home health people. I will…

Thank you all for your help. I just want to do more than the diet part. with diet alone it took me about a year to lose twenty pounds. I have PCOS and an under active thyroid. I can not do another year of dieting. My motivation is crumbling as it is. IDK.....I know exercise would possibly help all of my health problems…

I would like to but current health issues keep me home bound. literally my job is going to the doctors office. I even have home health. and I am on blood thinners ( I got a clot while I was hospitalized). My doctor says I need a machine with a heart rate monitor on it. If my heart rate gets to low or to high I could pass…

ok does anyone have new updates about this diet? I am really considering getting it. I saw the site years ago and thought it was a scam but then I see so many people trying/recommending it.

I didnt get to make it. my ride cancelled on me at the last minute. so now i have to try and work it out another way on a different date. they are almost 50 minutes away from me. so thats why they cancelled I guess.

hey! so i see you have had a bit of a wild ride recently lol. i hope you are doing better now. I know those days can be hard. i had a few myself smh. i am excited to say i go to the cmwl tomorrow for my first appointment and hope that it turns out to be everything i expected. how much longer will you be on the program? oh…

it really does help. I was hoping to find someone to go through this journey with honestly and hopefully we can go through this together (although you are ahead of me). I just think I mostly worry about how easy it will be to fail. I dont want that to happen. how much have you lost so far? my health issues are motivating…

I have problem with health food bars I can buy at the stores. so I feel that I will probably not do well on those either. do you know if there is a place for me to look at all of their plans. I just want to be ready when I go in, so that I can have it in my mind what I need to do. it will cut down on the confusion.…

I go for my first appointment on june the fourth. I have not really been told about the different plans. I have just been hearing about the from other people. do they make you eat the prepackaged foods they sell? also did they offer to give you something to help with the hunger. I heard about the appetite suppressants they…

which program did you choose?

I just signed up for this program and have not yet gone to my first appointment. I am so nervous. I really have no idea what to expect. I would love it if you would give me some insider tips lol.

amazingly enough the first time I ever successfully lost weight was after I had my son lol. I did breastfeed him, that alone will help with weight loss. after that I just counted calories I kept losing that way as well. its like he gave my body a magic boost or something!! but you are already going down the right path with…

Me too. I can never take that exercise seriously!

and I recall the hcg show. I dont believe dr oz endorsed it. he brought it on his show and had people who had both been successful and people who were not. there was another doctor there that talked about what people should and should not do when considering HCG. and they did it because so many people were being harmed or…
