Anyone Losing Weight?

[judy]

I didn't know WW had a fast weight loss diet! This seems to be the trend right now. My diet, Medifast, is known for that, I saw another advertised on TV last night, and now WW.

The thing is, such a quick weight loss is not healthy. The tendency to gain back is huge!

I am doing it to become motivated though. Otherwise, it is just too hard! Maybe that's why they are so popular right now. Lots of baby boomers who are in their 60's, and are finding it difficult to get those pounds off.

Truthfully, if my weight was not mostly in my stomach, I wouldn't really care. I would just buy new clothes and get on with life!

I had gained a few pds myself over the winter. I am also a big fan of Dr. Oz so I try to eat healthy and I do cheat on the weekends though. I have started a zumba class and I love it! If you ladies are looking for a good workout whether you go to a class or buy the tape it is a great workout and you will have fun..

I've heard the Zumba classes are wonderful, they have them at our YMCA. I think I'd rather have the tapes/CD's though. I want to go to the classes, but I'm just way to big for me to be comfortable in front of others.

Buy them Janet! If you love latin salsa and dancing you will enjoy this!

Gina....You mentioned Dr. Oz in your earlier post.....does he have a diet plan or something out? I watch him once in awhile...Mother doesn't like him much so she changes the channel...lol.

He is a wonderful doctor! Are you on his diet Gina? He is so knowledgeable about good health and diet!

My diet is not too bad! I got over the starvation phase. Now, I am just finding it a little annoying to have to eat 6 small meals/day. I prefer stuffing myself and then eating hours later when that wears off. Oh wait...that's why I'm on this diet, isn't it?


Aside from a protein and greens for dinner, these are the foods. Beside the bars, all of them are either mixed with water, whipped with water, or microwaved with water. So, what I'm thinking is, why not just pour them all into a big bowl, add some water, mix, microwave, and split it into 5 portions? That's a day's worth, it's easy, and probably tastes as good as each thing on it's own.

Now I'm trying to figure out an easy way to prepare dinners in advance. I was going to grill 3 big chicken breasts last night, but the perfect storm hit us, so that was a no go.

Judy no special diet, as I mentioned I just eat healthy and cut out cookies and cake. If I want to sample any sweets I have a little on the weekend. To be honest you can't view it as a diet for I think that word alone makes me want to eat more lol I look at it as a change of eating habits.. I believe in moderation so if I want something that is a no no I don't deprive myself but have a small portion.

I have become a big salad lover.. I put cranrasins, feta cheese, with salad, cherry tomatoes it is so yummy and filling... I love all types of salads..

No Janet he justs promotes healthy foods on his shows daily, eating veggies. etc. Why doesn't your mom like him? To be honest I went to his show this past Oct. I was a little disappointed myself he is not audience friendly as he seems on tv..

Judy, how are you doing on your diet? I don't know if I could drink all that stuff. Goodness knows, I need to lose 20 pounds though.

Someone told me today that the NEW Weight Watchers was really good and easy to follow. When I get sick to death of this 20 extra pounds, I'll probably do the new WW. I've done the old WW for years (obviously not enough though).
