Unfortunately, stress caused me to start smoking again soon after and then when I quit that... the weight came back. But I'm trying to get started on it again. I say "trying" because I haven't fully committed just yet.<BR/><BR/>I'm here by way of Michele, btw. :)Valbeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04543231618741342616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10891815.post-1137211020215209392006-01-14T11:57:00.000+08:002006-01-14T11:57:00.000+08:00I have a huge amount of respect for anyone with th...I have a huge amount of respect for anyone with the courage to lose weight, tone up and change for the better.<BR/><BR/>I admire your tenacity in making this happen.

No success either. I am thinking of trying it in combination with Weight Watchers. I have diabetes and think I'm insulin resistant--and I have heard that it may be difficult to have quick success with Weight Watchers. I have done Weight Watchers before and lost 17 pounds. Had I continued to use what I had learned (it's more a lifestyle than eating specific foods), I would have kept it off.<BR/><BR/>I highly recommend it!Crazy MomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05383009402644406924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10891815.post-1137028239053864952006-01-12T09:10:00.000+08:002006-01-12T09:10:00.000+08:00i voted! it took me to the poll page! i don't know...i voted! it took me to the poll page! i don't know if my vote went into the "25%" bar, though! hehe.<BR/><BR/>like i mentioned to you BW (before the wedding, hehe), the after 6 diet always worked wonders for me. and that was without exercise. imagine if you took in karen rani's advice and added walking to your daily diet! better results.<BR/><BR/>sometimes i would adjust it to after 7 (not beyond that!) if i happened to be really busy, but the idea is the same...the calories should be burning as you sleep! then break the fast and don't let your tummy stay rumbling in the morning. eat a decent morning meal. then just lessen the intake as the day progresses. eat small snacks in between your meals even. don't ever let your system "think" that you're hungry. hunger sents alarm signals to your brain. it will mobilize your body to process more carbohydrates to give you energy (the body is a clever thing, isn't it?). <BR/><BR/>and we don't want those sneaky carbs doubling up when you're not really going to need it for exercising, do we? knowing us, just sitting around in front of the computer all day, all those lovely, unburned carbs will POOF!...magically turn into fats. and more fats...hehe...<BR/><BR/>just some happy thoughts to help you learn to fly! haha.<BR/><BR/>have a good and healthy day!The White Rabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15477193982408548748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10891815.post-1137005160512124882006-01-12T02:46:00.000+08:002006-01-12T02:46:00.000+08:00I used Dr Phil's method.

I've done 4 things and it's working wonders:<BR/><BR/>1) Walk daily (even if I can only squeeze in 20 minutes, but 40 is better);<BR/><BR/>2) Eat more fruit, veggies and fibre - every 2 hours.<BR/><BR/>3) Daily water intake goal: 1 litre;<BR/><BR/>4) DO NOT eat after dinner - EVER!<BR/><BR/>GOOD LUCK!Karen Bodkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02648840299789088421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10891815.post-1136985116549356332006-01-11T21:11:00.000+08:002006-01-11T21:11:00.000+08:00Won't accept my vote ...just like puremood only a ...Won't accept my vote ...just like puremood only a blank screen appeared with no results. Not familiar with the name I think the Diet Glycemic Index sounds similar to my diet which is low/no sugar diet. Was adviced by my doctor to follow this because I go into hypoglycemic attacks when I eat sweets & a large meal. <BR/><BR/>Here are some guidelines for choosing what food to eat each day: take at least 5 servings of fruits & vegetables and 6 to 11 servings of whole grain foods, keep fat intake to 30% or less, eat 6 to 8 ounces of meat, calcium-rich foods and drink at least 64 ounces of water.Viamariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06257490791066560463noreply@blogger.com
