Re: Hi Friends!!

Melinda,

The books sound interesting. I may have to check them out, to see what they

say.

I think it all boils down to finding what works for each of us, as an

individual. No one program will work for everyone. No matter how many

people try

tell you different! What works for me, may not work for you {I use the term

'you' in the collective} This is exactly why I'm always interested in what

others have to say about their success or failures.

Blessings,

Kiki

Kiki,

That's what I read over at the low-carb forum...that the second one was a very

difficult read but it's worth it if you can get through it. I can't wait to get

the book!

Re: Hi Friends!!

Jenni,

I think you will LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the book!!! The first one is such and easy

read, it really keeps your intrest. I admit, I am having some trouble

getting thru the 2nd. I put it down a few months ago, and now I have to start

all

over...LOL I got it for the Bio-identical info, which I really want to get on

as soon as I can. I'm not at the 'change' yet, but I know my hormoans have

been so out of whack for YEARS!!!!

Love ya,

Kiki

Re: Hi Friends!!

Hi Connie,

It's been years since I went to Nashville, Ind. We'll have to that

again

sometime.

I haven't done any exercise yet today, but I will.

I normally eat high fiber cereal or oatmeal and a piece of toast for

breakfast.

Love, Liz

Hi Liz! We went to Brown County, to the state park and Nashville, In.

The colors are SO wonderful this time of the year! We stayed at the

Holiday Holidome with the pool and hot tub and sauna and golf course

and

game rooms. It was so nice and peaceful, we haven't gotten away by

ourselves for 3 years. :-)

I walked this AM with my girlfriend and did my life lift. I watched

what I ate yesterday and starting today I am going to count calories

again and keep a journal, time to get SERIOUS again, my stretch 14 " s

fit comfortably--NOT GOOD!!! I was going to give up bread and

potatoes

BUT I can't, for breakfast I had a boiled egg, 1- 35 calorie hearty

grain bread and 1/2 yogurt. What do you usually have for breakfast?

And anyone else?? " They " say it is the most VIP of the day!!! Hugs!

Connie :-)

[Guest guest]

Unfortunately, Bonnie I like bread and pasta too! LOL, Connie

Re: Hi Friends!!

Ohhhhhhhh I can pass up on sweets but give me bread and/or pasta and I'm

in heaven! I just can't give them up! I do good for a couple of days

and then wham! Here I go binging on bread again. Drives me up the

wall!

Thanks Melinda, I am going after work today and see if I can find that

book! It kind of sounds like Gwen Shamblins book and I followed that

for awhile and was losing, but......lost momentum

Re: Hi Friends!!

The Naturally Thin book is about how dieting in the first place drives

our bodies to want to eat - - a lot of us have interpreted it as

emotional eating, when actually, it may be that our bodies are trying to

catch up and/or prepare for famine mode - the dieting phases, or going

too long without eating when hungry. It's about recognizing true hunger

signals. Antonello recommends eating real foods, less processed,

less junk, etc. I can't do the book justice by summarizing it. You can

get it for pennies at amazon.com.

I'm now reading her other book, *Breaking Out of Food Jail.*

The WW Core Plan reminds me very much of Antonello's good foods

lists, and has you eat until you're satisfied - there are no portions,

weighing, or measuring. I think it might give me some needed structure

so that I begin to eat a bit healthier. Go to a website (I don't

remember the address) called Dottie's Weight Loss Zone. Do a search and

you'll find it. It details the WW plan.

,

Yes I'm sure -- I'm 5'7 " and weigh about 155# -- and my winter clothes (which I

just pulled out for this season) are snugger than they were last winter

My husband and I plan to retire to FL in another 2 years -- and I'll be usually

in shorts or bathing suits -- I really, really want to be slimmer by then! And

so much of my weight is in my belly -- this is new for me, don't know what

triggered it (I used to have a very small waist) -- sometimes I think I'm just

sort of " slumping " with age, everything is drooping.... (asked my doctor about

it, total non-interest, just " exercise more by pushing yourself away from the

dinner table.... " -- really need to change doctors!).
