WOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
That was kind of the holy grail of weight loss for me, that weight where you don’t feel fat anymore!
Congratulations, my dear, you’ve earned it in the best possible way! The way that lasts.
How wonderful.
Now all we have to get through are a couple more weeks of ignoring holiday goodies!
I was so impressed at how…[Read more]-
Hi, Barbara,
I am not there yet. I am wearing size 14 jeans and working towards the size 12. They are hanging in my closet waiting for me to lose these last 18 pounds. I will shout out when I get there, for sure!-

What with holiday foods causing so much trouble, the last 18 pounds might need nearly as much time to come off as the first 87! Best of luck to us both!

In reply to: JANINE posted an update in the group Diet & Nutrition I don’t understand how our society as a whole has reached the point where food choices are so unhealthy and portion sizes are so massive. I witness others […] ViewYour kind heart makes you want to shout it from the rooftops! You are a walking example of change in the world, Nicole. I bet beyond the people you actually talk to there are more people you aren’t even aware of who benefit from your transition.
Then there are the ones right next to you – sounds like it’s having a beneficial effect on him too! -

In reply to: Margaret Foster posted an update Hello everyone, I would like to post a quote from Janine. It very simply explains how many people have arrived at their obese state. Perhaps it will resonate with you. Janine […] ViewThat is wonderful, Margaret. I can relate.
I thought where you were going with that was how the sweet drinks used to be few and far between, now they’re in every store and on every corner!
I heard the average Starbucks drink has 850 calories – don’t know if it’s true but once you stop the sugar thing you become aware of how it’s everywhere!-
Hi Barbara, You are so right about every place offering high calorie, unhealthy servings, as treats. These things are not even meant to be entire meals. I am amazed at how I can have a satisfying meal for 300-500 calories. At the same time people are drinking lattes or eating a bagel that has that many calories, and those are snacks.
Small wonder…[Read more]

In reply to: 2fat4myclothes posted an update Went for my quarterly check up yesterday. My labs are WORSE???? My doctor has not heard of Dr Hyman or The Blood Sugar Solution, so she was not very supportive.
I’m at a loss. View
I’m so sorry to hear about your labs!
Have you been following any of Dr. Hyman’s plans?
I know what you mean about mentioning The Blood Sugar Solution to doctors. Some get it, others look at you like you’re from outer space.
I hear it’s beginning to change, doctors are getting more training in nutritional science. Amen. -

I had the surgery Wed. and am glad that’s over! No walking for a couple of days, a boot for at least 2 weeks and NO SWIMMING!

good Idea about the resale outlets. I’ll see what is near me. All I really need right now is a basic blue suit of good quality. I can pretty much make due with what I have in the meantime. sounds like your foot surgery went fine. Two weeks passes by really quickly so you will be up and about walking and exercising again in no time. Take Care!

Happy Sunday…I hope the recuperation is going well for you. It has been very hot here in San Diego so I have been out at the crack of down for my morning walk and have missed a couple of the evening walks this week. But I am happy with 12 walks out of 14. Still at 163-164 lb range. Been there for a week now , so i’ll probably see some movement…[Read more]

Hi Barbara, When is your foot surgery? I am sure that the stress to your body of having surgery will temporarily elivate your blood sugar readings. How long will you be in the boot afterwards? I was making it out for my 2 walks per day until yesterday. Didn’t get home from working till 6:00. Ate late and fell asleep pretty much right afterwards.…[Read more]

ViewSometimes you can lose inches without losing pounds. Are your clothes fitting any looser? Do you have more energy yet?
If you’re true to the plan (no hidden sugar in salad dressing, etc.) you’ll see results!

Hi Barbara- I agree with NOT going up being a victory in itself. Well the scale went down 1/2 pound this morning. 6 days at the same weight before that glimmer of hope!

I think checking periodically is a good idea. Especially as you are reintroducing foods. Checking will help modulate portion sizes . Of course the scale helps with that too. Youve really done a great job and should be proud of yourself.

Nicole, when you pointed out to me that my blood sugar might be elevated when I was sick – and I checked it and it was – it made me wonder what it is about our bodies fighting the good fight to get rid of illness that causes the blood sugar to elevate.
Sounds like it’s true for fighting off inflammation too.-
yes when ever my body is fignting off any kind of illness or if I am upset or stressed my blood sugar level goes up. This is why it is important to measure your blood sugar regularly. As I have read that any time your blood sugar is over 100 ( some say 120) damage is occuring to your body. Yes Dr Hyman has indicated that inflammation can cause…[Read more]
