:smile: :smile: Hi just started today after being gone for a while. I regained my weight loss. So here I go again. I'm tired of thinking about food...what to eat, when to eat, did I eat enough, did I eat enough of the right food??? But I will try yet again. So hard because it just doesn't come off easily...usually long…

I'm going to try it too. You do it for three weeks and then you add the foods back in one at a time to see if you react. You may not have to give up all the foods on the list forever. I would like to see if my joint pain, depression/anxiety and foggy brain are improved. I don't think the book promotes that you should ever…

My daughter is now 27 so what I'm going to share with you comes from a place of a long history with this issue. She was "chubby all her life". I took the approach of not putting her on a diet, encouraging exercise in sports, Karate, dance, swimming etc. etc. She worked hard and enjoyed all of it....never dropping any…

thank you for taking the time to respond...lot's of good advice. I think I will stay away from the scale for a while and set non scale goals

I'm not losing either....very frustrating. I looked at your food diary and it looks a lot like mine. This is what I'm thinking about doing (and have dond before) cut the carbs....I'm not saying do Atkins or anything (although i've done that too and lost big time!) I'm saying cut the simple carbs...sugar, white flour, white…

Okay, thanks for the comments. All good advice. I agree...no one got fat from eating blueberries. Consistency....I'll work on that. So far I think I have been. I'm going to watch the carb intake and find a new Dr. lol.

So true...and thank you. So many things to think about now....

I think you're doing great :)

I have to stay at 1500 or below because I have high blood pressure. I do it my staying away from processed food. I don't add it to my food at all. That seems to do it for me. I really read every lable for sodium content. If I go wrong my ankles swell up so I know when I've gone off track. Having said that, I haven't lost…

I followed the Atkins diet for 2.5 years and I was able to maintain my goal wieght. It took a lot of getting used to but once I did I was fine. I felt great. The only reason I stopped was that my appendix burst. While I was in the hospital all the Dr.s and nurses told me to stop following the Atkins diet. I did ....and I…

Thank you all so much for taking the time to respond, give me encouragement and good advice. I will open my diary and I'll take everything you said as very good advice to put to practice. I feel better and I'll keep trying. I think the issue of ED for overweight people is under reported. People who are very thin as a…

Thank you all so much. I didn't think anyone would reply... Eating all the calories is so counter to what I think but so wonderful. I feel like I've been starving myself but yet I gained. I'm 53 so maybe that has something to do with it. I don't know. I'm going to eat "the right way", drink my water, weigh and measure etc.…

I know how you feel. I have the same problem but you can't give up. I always have to remind myself that it's a long process. It doesn't happen quickly. Take all the good suggestions and consider how they might help you. I started taking water aerobics and it's great. You have the resistance from the water but you don't…
