Anyone Losing Weight?

I have two books......one I bought at a garage sale.....

Amazon
Then I bought the new one at Wal-mart......

There's also a LOT of information on their website and a forum to talk to others.

Amy's started the diet lately and she had a really hard time with craving carbs but she said that yesterday the cravings were a lot better. I know that you have to stay on Induction for two weeks where you can only have 20 carbs and they are limited to certain foods but after that you can move on to Phase two.

I have a couple of friends that have been doing this for awhile so I've been picking their brain about what they can eat and didn't eat. Shani snacks on bacon all day and she's lost over 30 pounds and is almost to her goal. Her husband has lost over 40!!!!

I found a 110 calorie bar that I really like. Skinny Cow. There is a chocolate and a peanut butter chocolate. They are new I think. Skinny Cow has had ice cream sandwiches for a long time, but not bars. The bars are really more like a candy bar, so they aren't real filling but there are times when I just crave something that TASTES GOOD! These fit the bill. The only place I can find them are Walgreens Pharmacy.

I also like the 100 calorie Lance toasty peanut butter cracker sandwiches. It's perfect for my sweet/salty craving.

I did well at the lake for the first 3 days, then I began to lose some control and eat things I shouldn't - like homemade ice cream. OH MY! Gary's uncle makes the BEST ice cream and I had to eat some. I got back in control the minute I got on the road home. WHEW! Sometimes when I'm dieting, and I get out of control, I can't get back in. But I'm doing really well. I didn't gain or lose while I was gone!

Skinny Cow sandwiches! Yummy! I never had the new ones. Good for you that you started up again on the way home. Except for this diet that I am on, I only do portion control when I'm away. Come on...homemade ice cream! Life is just too short to give up something like that!

[gja1000]

Yeah, but 4 cups of ice cream over 3 days, that's a bit much. I try to do portion control, but I just couldn't with that one. I would like to have had only 1/2 cup on two occasions.

Oh well, what's done is done and you're back on track now!!! Ice cream sounds so good that I'm not sure I would do very well if it were in front of me either.......especially if it had homemade chocolate on it!!! Yummmmmm........

Well.....I weighed the other day at the doctor's office and I've only lost 3 pounds. Bummer!! Oh well.....at least the scales are moving the right way!!! I think that I may have lost a couple of more but it's hard to tell because Glen and Dae Lynn keep resetting the scales on zero!!!! So I'm not sure where I'm at. I don't know why the scales dipped so far down on the one day.....maybe it was water weight.

Amy and Dae Lynn have decided to join me so now it's a lot easier. We're all looking for recipes and snacks and so it's exciting to see what one of us is going to come up with!!!

It is rare that my weight on my scale is the same as on the doctor's scale. Even weight loss is different. I only go by one scale (mine). Even if it is off, weight loss is going to be right.

Why are Glen and Dae Lynn changing the scale? Take it in your room, and tell them to buy their own scale! Tell them Judy said!

I'm so far off the diet wagon that I can barely see it in the distance. lol I guess at the moment I just don't want it bad enough or it would be happening. I do think that once I get my "happy" back it will be much easier. I'm so thrilled for all of you that are accomplishing weight loss, no matter how big or small.
