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).

I thought the old WW worked really well for me but got tired of figuring points and I still felt hungry. You're not suppose to feel hungry on WW.

So I'm not the only one that has put on weight lol! I need to lose 15 to 20 pounds! Mine is all in my stomach too. I hate the muffin top I have got now! I also have no motivation and definitely no energy. I have gotten so lazy since I stopped working 3 years ago. Judy I don't know if I could drink all that stuff either. I would starve to death I'm hopeless!

I just weighed in at 143. I began 2 weeks ago at 150.5; lost 4.5 last week, and 3 pounds this week. Pretty good! I am very happy with this weight loss.

I am about to eat microwaved powdered eggs. Not tasty! I'm not at all a fussy eater, and there is really no cooking or shopping, so this diet works well for me.
I ordered a lot of bars and puddings for next month.

I found that if I put less water in a lot of the foods, there is a more solid consistency. I can't have drinks all day. You need to feel like you're having food!

I'm still hungry, but it's getting much better. I can add a protein to mid morning, and have less at dinner. I think that would do it.

Whatever it takes to get this muffin top off!

Wow that's great for 2 weeks!!

I wish I could get a little more motivated. I was going through my summer clothes on the weekend and had to put most of them in the garage sale box. There were capris, shorts, and skirts, that I couldn't even get past my hips with the zippers undone! Oh well, I guess it's an excuse to buy new clothes.

I'm fluctuating between 142 and 144. I would like to be 130-135ish. I can't believe that just 5 years ago I only weighed 115! I'm 5'8 and lots of people commented that I looked just TOO skinny back then, and I agree, but it's crazy to think just how much more I've gained! I know most of my problem is sitting at a desk or in a car for 10 hours a day now. I used to be much more active.

I'll tell you, Lindsey, get it under control NOW while you have the energy to do it!!! Not that you're heavy.......but when I was younger it just kept creeping on a little at a time.......and, voila, here I am!!! I wish that I would have worked harder on it when I was young.

Glen had a cousin at their Easter picnic that had lost 60 pounds. I asked her how she was doing it and she is only eating 800 calories a day!!!! But....she said that she's losing 3-4 pounds a week!! I don't think I could do that ......I've had a hard time on 1200 calories a day!!! That's not much food!!!!! She has will power....that's for sure!!!!
