Let's see if this works. First off, here's to a oorah for me. Although it was only two ounces, after one week, I have won and worked my way off this stupid plateau I have been on. I say "only two ounces," but it is a HUGE two ounces for me.
Trish, I am sooooo happy for you. After doing this for two months, having lost 12 pounds, then gaining three back (my fault, I admit it), I am on my way to doing this. I have been keeping a diary since day one (not really a food diary, although I have been keeping track of that), and realized a few things (not that I haven't known this) - I like to eat, and I like to eat everything. I eat when I'm happy; I eat when I'm miserable. However, I do eat more when I'm miserable. So one day I decided to put it down in words - and I let it out. I think one week I filled each day with every curse imaginable. I would die if someone were to read it, but I digress. I have also found that it doesn't take much to get me excited about losing weight - one ounce, two ounces, and whatever in pounds. When I started this, I knew I wanted to do this and reach my goal of 50 pounds, although I'm thinking 40 would be more realistic at my age. I'm 5'1 1/2" and right now I weigh 155. I guess 115 is realistic, right? But, again, I digress.
When I first started, I absolutely HATED to exercise, and I never thought I would hear myself say this, but I now actually look forward to it. The Leslie Sansone walking series have been my miracle "cure." I started out with her beginner's one-mile walk, and worked my way up to two miles. When that started getting easy, I bought a new DVD, and with that came some band things that you hook around your sneakers and add resistance. I started that last week (started at two miles), but today I decided to try the three miles. OMG! I did it, and I'm so happy. Like I said, it doesn't take much.
Jo, I would highly recommend this stuff, but only if you're really ready to commit. The taste really isn't my favorite, but I keep thinking of my goal. The 15 seconds it takes for me to suck it down is well worth it for me. I have tried everything imaginable - hypnosis, Jenny Craig, shakes, whatever was out there, I tried it. This stuff, for whatever reason, is working. If you read any of my posts, I did check it out with a doctor and a dietician, and they felt it couldn't hurt. Heart disease and diabetes runs in both sides of my family, and I'm hoping to ward it off.
Anyway, gang, now that I've written a magazine article - just kidding - I guess I'll go. Hang in there, don't give up, I'm here for you as well.

Hi, I tried and wrote twice this morning to reply, ( I get up at 4 AM) but both times it said try again later. Quite upsetting after I told you all that has happened.
Anyway I lost 2 more pounds, I am on a quest and feel great about 4 lbs total so far.I am on a break right now and will write more tonight. How are you doing?

MarineCorpMama replied to trishwds123's response:
Trish (by the way, my name is Cheryl), first off - why on earth do you get up at four a.m.? Holy cow! Here's what I learned to do on this board - after you're done writing whatever it is you're writing, highlight everyone and copy it. This way if you lose it, you can also paste it on another black spot. I learned that the hard way.
A bit of a bummer day for me. I gained six ounces, and I'm not sure why. But instead of eating, I went straight to my diary and wrote how upset I was. That always helps. I wasn't going to do my exercising tonight, but when I went upstairs, I put in the DVD and just did it. That made me feel a lot better. I wish I had done some measurements before starting this, because some of my clothes are starting to feel looser, so I guess I am hoping right now that maybe is muscle mass. I have upped my exercising to 45 minutes a day, so can't figure out why I'm not losing more. Oh well. On to another day. Not going to let it get to me like I have in the past. I know I will do this. I just know it.
Four pounds for you so far!!!! Yeah!!! You must be soooo thrilled. Take a picture on your face on your cell phone if you can and every ten pounds that you lose, take another picture. You should see a difference then. Gotta run. By the way, I am leaving Thursday to go visit a sick relative. Not sure when I'll be back. I will not have any access to the internet, so don't get worried if I'm not on. I'm not sure how long I'll be away. I sign in tomorrow before heading out. Have a good evening.

I get up at 4 AM, because I have a body clock that wakes me up. Plus my Mom wakes up super early and I have to make sure that she is fed and whatever she needs is met. Believe me if I could sleep in, I would. This is the first time that I have been so faithful to losing (other than the pumpkin pie) I am very proud of myself. Tonight I took my bicycle in for a tune up, and tires aired. While we were there, we bought a bike for my husband. Now we can ride together. The thing that I notice right off is the spare tire above my waist is getting smaller. I haven't been hungry,but I thinlk about how good things will taste, such as a Vietnamese sandwich. So tastey, but then I tell myself it's white bread and no good for me. I think of other foods too Mac and cheese with pork and beans. I keep grabbing more water and stay faithful A diet Dr. once told me that it's my brain that tells me that it is so good, and my taste buds want to taste it, but I am really not hungry. I am not sure I can stop at one bite to be satisfied. One day soon I will give myself a treat and eat something I love and crave. But until that day I will be faithful to my formula. I am sorry that you are visiting a sick relative, I hope that a recovery is in the near future. Tomorrow my husband and I are going to start working out together. I told him he needs to start talking to himself and get a plan going to get ready for his beginning weight loss. But right now, I am taking care of me. He may join me if he wishes, I am not going to push him. Have a safe trip, will Keep a look out for your return.

Trish and Cheryl - Love that you guys have connected here! And WebMD has experienced some technical issues that we are working very, very hard to fix.
So, making sure you copy before you hit post can same some frustration - if you don't, you can often hit the back arrow and return to your post then copy.
Thank you so much for your patience as we work to get everything running super smoothly.
I LOVE that you are working out with your husband Trish - I'll post more tomorrow - almost 10 pm here in California and I am officially brain dead

Hey, everyone. This will be my "final" post for I'm not sure how long. I leave tomorrow morning and not sure how long I'll be gone. Nothing serious, but she's 82, so ...
Trish, I am sooooooo happy that your husband is actively getting involved and so supportive. I think that helps tremendously. My husband isn't doing this with me, but he has been very supportive. We both quit smoking 26 years ago together, but I'm telling ya', this seems to be harder, although, again, this drink has helped immensely. I LOVE it! I think the biggest change in me, though, is that I actually enjoy exercising, and I NEVER thought I would hear myself saying that. I guess it's been the "perfect storm" - a system that works for me (the drink), the support (husband) and an exercise program that I really enjoy (Leslie Sansone). Here's to you and me, Trish - and anyone else who would care to join in.
Haylen, I'm so glad for this board. It helps having people you can talk to about this. I do like the fact that people care, even though we're strangers. It's just been very nice, and I thank you again for you encouraging words.
I'll talk to you all when I get back. Oh, I am packing my exercise equipment and my scale. Isn't that too funny?

Hi wantolose80, All I know is that is is full of fiber that keeps you full, I started this diet 5 or 6 days ago, and have lost 6 pounds. It's also my frame of mind, because I finally said enoiugh is enough. I was 210, now I am194. I know that that is more than 6 pounds, plus I don't do math good, but I must have lost 11 pounds before I started this diet. All I can say is that I am very happy with the results happening for the first time in my life in a very long time. I am on my way. Oh Yeah, you have to drink a lot of water too. In my opinion this is working and I would recommend it to anyone that is serious to lose. I don't understand why you are not losing weight with 1300 calories. Maybe its all water right now??? You keep that up and you should see a difference soon. "Trisha" Good Luck

It ended well, because here I am again. Thank God.!> I am at a stand still in weight, I am not losing number weight, but I SEE myself losing body. My stomach area for the most part. I would squeeze my stomach tightly together, and all that fat could make another human being.Now when I squeeze together my stomach, I could only make a small head of a human. ( sorry for the analogy) The numbers are not dropping , but the skin is shrinking. Maybe tomorrow I will hear a new number on the scale? We have a talking scale, because my Mother is blind. Everything around here talks.A person is never alone in this house. Because something is always talking.The numbers do not reach high enough on the scale for my husband though. I told him that it is saying "get off your killing me". But seriously, he is sorda trying , it takes time to really get a head grip and a positive focus to get started. I can see that he is jumping in there, it may be at slow speed, but he is trying. I had to Physic myself to get going before I gain more weight, which would make it take even longer to take off. In my opinion it is a mental challenge to stay away from all the wrong foods that taste so good. Yet are so bad for controlling my weight. I wouldn't be here if I didn't love all the wrong stuff. I also thank God for me coming across this formula, because I am "NOT "hungry and when I get that wanna eat feeling, I take another dose. Plus I stop and think about what is good for me to eat. Then I eat healthy. Today the hubby and I are going garage sailing on our bikes. My indurance is much higher than his. I am going to have one tired puppy when we are finished. All I want to say about that is, hehe!! I do hope that you're sick relative is recovering and that you are staying on track. I guess I will find out when you return. From the way you write, I can see that you are strong and determined.My day will begin as soon as I post this note to "you" or "anyone" that cares to read it.

Good luck to you. The important thing is that you made a start. I have been here over a year now. It is by sharing our struggles on these boards that we do not feel alone. Getting support here made the difference for me to get back on track when I went off.
The longer you stay on your plan the stronger your "won't power" will get. The more you will learn to like the healthy foods, too.
Keep up the good job!

Report This| Share this:Together we can do this!Good luck to you. The important thing is that you made a start. I have been here over a year now. It is by sharing our struggles on these boards that we do not feel alone.

Thank You so much for your support....I really appreciate it. I really surprise myself, honestly....because I love my beer and wine and also Screwdrivers, but have refrained from it since I have started this diet. Yesterday I thought that I would just take a day off and have a couple cocktails, but after the thought of what I have already lost," that" would put it back on me and I would be starting all over. So something is working here....I do enjoy a tall glass of water over the rocks with a splash of lemon. Take care Trisha

I see what you mean about the longer one stays on this plan the stronger one gets. I can Testify to that already. My" won't power" is getting stronger. I didn't think I actually had any will power left. I am wanting to do this so bad, and it keeps getting harder the older I get.(64 yrs.) (mentally 40 or less). Of course that is my opinion. I am just so happy that I am seeing results. It isn't easy being old and fat and out of breath at the smallest things I do. So that is why I took the chance on this formula, and it is working for me. Everybody say HALLELUYA !! Thanks for your support , every little bit helps
