I found I have to have my protein or I am STARVING..........more than usual that is!

Way to go girls, I, am also a follower. I will be one year free as of MARCH 8, 2012. Your comments on your one year are so true.......a calmness!!

I'm attempting to do 500-600 DD with 1600-1800 UD. I often fail at both numbers but not by much. It works and that is what counts! I also try and do as much low carb as possible as on UD as I have definitely found that I cannot do high carb and lose anything. At my age and metabolism and under 10 to lose, it is a slow…

Interesting, destroyed some of the myths about ketosis, etc, that I had! But, it is the absolute truth that you lose more weight by doing a low carb lifesyle. I believe that sugar and white equals more sugar and white....a non ending urge to eat!

I believe that you need to cut yourself some slack...you are both quitting smoking and dieting at the same time and both are endeavors on their own. I gave myself permission to gain when I quit smoking and only gained 5 pounds (and I also went on a European vacation during the first 6 months). By the time 6 months rolled…

Stair Climb............you go girl, that is fantastic, your thighs will look beeaaaautiful!! Me, I have 30 days to get it together....so as of today, I am starting Ripped in 30 along with my normal classes which are 1/2 aerobics...1/2 yoga and 1 hour of belly dancing on Wednesday night. I do beleive that I will not do…

Amazing wonderful quotes. Many that I hadn't heard before.... One that will stick with me (because I am a sweater) SWEAT IS FAT CRYING...............oh, yeah!!!

Yes ladies, I am post meno by over 5 years but still too much alcohol or wine and yes, I will have a hot flash! Not as intense as they were 3 years ago but sugar does bring them! And watch the coffee intake...that is another culprit...I didn't quit but I cut down!

I have been quit for 10 Months, 1 week, 5 days, 2 minutes............a saving of 1958.88 plus more I would think. Still challenging but a far cry from the beginning. Anyone can do it, just say NOPE.....not one puff ever!! I quit using Champix..used it for 6 weeks and knew that I didn't need it anymore. Read, read, read and…

Meno or post meno............whatever, since that time, I have been unable to lose weight unless I lower my carbs. Take a look at your diary and see if your days are high carb, if so, try lowering them. You will be surprised!

In my honest opinion, yes, you need to cut the diet coke and get more water. And change up you equation, I cannot lose weight on low cal, I have to go low carbs and more protein. Remember weight loss is 90% what goes in your mouth and 10% exercise (even though some will say different)! Try low carb...it's really quite easy!

So after 2 interruptions........well, actually only 1 when my mother called for her Wednesday talk and the other came at the end of the session, I finally got in my session with Jillian. I am on level 2 and as I mentioned, I kinda hate the skipping so I have been substituting the squat punching and it is working just fine.…

Level 2 is hard but you know what........I like the sweat pouring after I am done and I substitute the punchs from level 1 for the skipping. I just set my eye on the on/off light of the TV and pretend that it is Jillian...lol. Did it yesterday and today is a day off.

Good for you, I gonna fell off JUDDD but I have been low carbing and watching calories. However, I do plan to get back at it starting tomorrow with a DD of 600. Donna

Started level 2 last Monday and then skipped it most of the week but did a Level 2, Day 2 today and plan to do it again tomorrow. I feel so much better after!

Stress.....it will do all of this. Try and relax, all will be just fine and what you need to do is consider buying a couple good workout DVD;S. I am going to forego a workout class this term as I want to do some more of Jillian's DVD's. I love her kick *kitten* attitude and it works. After only 2 workouts of 30 day Shred…

I was over at the low carb forum and I think I would like to talk to you about MUDD. Are you still MUDDing? Just thinking right now! Today is DD but I do struggle when I am at home for DD's and may be looking at the alternative?

Hey girls, nice to see some activity on the board. You are so right about holidays...nice to have them over. I hate all the chocolates coming into the office nowadays. Chocolate is a bit of a weakness for me and I don't keep it in the house. I did an aerobic/yoga class last Wed and then I did my regular belly dancing…

Hi all, I have been quit for 9+ months and just wanted to chirp in with my comments. I too gained at the beginning but I knew it would happen but soon you realize that you can take control of your eating. A lot of it is chemical related and by that I would quote an article that was written about addiction. Once I…

Hey Marcus: I am a 9 month quitter..............YEAH and this is my final quit...of that I am sure. I used champix...smoked for only 1 week cause the sticks tasted so horrible and I have been nic free since. I also joined an online quit smoking forum which is very active with people posting all the time. If you are…

Well. had my first DD and it was a little bit of a challenge as it was a Saturday without work! But I made it through and today I CAN EAT. Man, why does food become so important after one quits smoking! I suppose it's cause I used to smoke instead of eat!! Ugh.........how gross! Too early to see any change in the scales…

Yes, you can change the settings in here............go to settings-goals-change-custom...........there you can change whatever you want! Then Save............VIOLA........all changed

Hi ladies: I have been following low carb and slowly losing weight however, I need a bit of a change and watching my friend here, Kelly lose weight faster than me when both of us couldn't lose an ounce before October, I decided to check into her JUDDD. I will admit I had not heard of it before but I could see her…

Here's another good article about the changes in our brain and it totally explained why I felt like I couldn't quit eating after I quit smoking. It helped me take control of my eating habits which were becoming atrocious. http://www.medhelp.org/tags/health_page/45/Addiction/Fighting-relapseDopamine-and-addiction?hp_id=309…

Firstly, let me give you a big high 5 for quitting smoking. I, too, made the intelligent choice in March of this year to quit that nasty habit. I didn't gain much...about 5 lbs but was already 5 lbs over my personal goal so I have been working at the weight now that I feel more confident in my poison quit!!! lol,. So back…

Your are all so right about the carb/sugar addiction! I am following a low carb diet and I totally get it....if I have too many carbs in the day, then I crave some more. It does become a challenge. I have found that sugar free jello cups and sugarless gum help fill the void........but sometimes I just can't resist.…

For my snacks, I have been on a sugar free jello kick. Love it!!

Marking my spot so I can find this thread easily. Still plugging along. Seems as when you have less to lose, you want to cheat more........ugh.! Oh, well, I have nothing but time so I will keep at it. After all, it is a lifestyle now! Donna

Vonny: That is so my story...low calorie just wasn't making any weight loss results but with low carbing, weight is dropping and measurements feel so much better. I am not going to measure for awhile yet. I have only been low carbing for 2 weeks but am about 5 lbs down. And it is not hard...low calorie...I was always…

My honest opinion..........lower your carbs and watch the sugar! I did low calorie and exercise for 4 weeks and remained the same. I have done low carb for 1 week, feel better and am down 4 lbs with normal exercise. Think about it, it is not difficult! PS<<<I am your age and probably have the same age problems as you! Post…
