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!

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

[Guest guest]

For breakfast I usually have 2 eggs, scrambled -- sometimes add leftover salmon;

or sausage, mushrooms, onions, cheese; or whatever meat/vegetables I have

left-over from the night before. When I'm not worried about my weight, I eat a

low carb cereal (Atkins) with berries, walnuts, flaxseed, and Hood's low-carb

milk.

I typically eat salad or tuna fish (or nothing) for lunch.

And supper is usually a piece of meat/fish (grilled) with a large salad and a

vegetable (like asparagus or cauliflower). Last night I made a casserole of

ground beef/cabbage/Rotel/caraway seeds...; tonight we're having salmon,

asparagus, and salad.

Seldom eat bread (and when I do, it's low-carb). Fruit is for when I'm not

seriously trying to get some weight off (like right now). And nuts, I tend to

eat way too many, so I'm currently not eating them. The only cake I've had was

at my daughter's wedding last February ...

I exercise (LL+) every morning, about 30-40 minutes. Walk at lunch (1+ miles,

hills). Walk every evening (1 mile loop with dogs). and on weekends we hike,

bike, roller blade, etc., etc.

And I still am about 20 pounds overweight!

Bonnie, when you say you are still 20# over weight, are you losing inches?

If you're losing the inches, you'd be most likely building muscle, which we

all know weights more. Just curious about this. Also, question for ya. I

think tomorrow I'm gonna check out the CLA and CoQ10. How do you feel the NOW

brands has worked for you? I buy that when it's a good match for what I need,

less money ya know I think that's what I'll get in the CoQ10 as well, unless

you can tell me something I'm not seeing in all my reading. I've been on the

Oregano oil for 5 days now. I wasn't sure if I was reacting bad to it or

not. I've been TOTALLY wiped for about that long. Tired before and the OoO

seemed to make it worse. The last 2 nights I was feeling 'fluie' as well.

Today

I finally feel better. Not tired, to bad anyway. {I've got 2 kittens that

like to play on me at 3 AM, so that wakes me up}. Been up since 6AM today and

don't feel to bad. I'm hoping that maybe, just maybe I'll get that energy

boost so many talk about. How are you doing on these sups?

Connie, thanks so much for asking. I'm doing OK. Nothing to shout about,

but nothing to be crying over. I'm good with that! I am trying to get back on

the workout road. As I said earlier, I've just been sooooooo tired, no energy

at all. I hope that has changed and I'll be back to normal, whatever that

is...LOL

Is anyone else taking the sups I mentioned earlier? If so, would you mind

sharing your experiences? I swear, I'm gonna have to clean off an entire shelf

soon, with all I take. The want to's and the have to's...

Kiki

[Guest guest]

Thanks Bonnie, can I come have breakfast with you? :-) I am 53 and

honestly everything I eat goes to my but!!! Of course I sit on it all

day ( secretary). It sounds like you do very good with your eating

plan! Sweets are my downfall. :-( I haven't met a cookie I didn't

love. I am going to Subway for lunch today, but like I told Liz, it is

my evening eating that is the problem :-(

Hi Connie,

Well, I sit most of the day, too (tech writer -- work at the computer all day)

and I'm 60 -- my weight seems to go to my belly/butt/thigh region -- UGH!

I wish that rounded (very rounded!) lower areas were the attractive ideal for

women!

Truthfully, I'm at the point that I don't know what else to try -- I have very

little time to work in any more exercising, I have stripped my eating to the

point that I seldom have any sort of treat.

Evening snacking -- I read somewhere that every time you feel like snacking,

first eat a hard-boiled egg -- and if that egg is more than you can tolerate,

you likely aren't hungry, just in the mood for a snack. Since I don't get home

from work until 7-7:30, then have to make supper (with the help of my husband),

do laundry, etc., I seldom am tempted with snacking -- it's a rare evening that

I can sit down and read for an hour (where do people find the time to watch all

the television they talk about?). My biggest snack problem was eating almonds

(like 3-4 (or more) ounces when I walked in the door after work) -- I've stopped

that by simply telling myself " I can do this " each time I head towards the

pantry door -- it's worked for about 2 weeks now.

Jenni,

The reason for not eating fruit with any other food, is the way it digests.

TOTALLY different from carbs and proteins. As for what you read about not

eating carbs and proteins together, that is food combining, and I am a firm

believer in it! The 2 conbined are also the cause of being, scuse me, gassy.

Suzanne Somers, Summersize, is all about this. I don't really follow her eating

plan, persay, as well as I don't follow Atkins or any one plan. I've been

eating high protein/low carb for so many years, I know exactly what I can and

can't do. However, I am always learning new things, and some I may give a try.

Is the book you ordered possibly The Schawartzbein {I'm sure I misspelled

that!} Principle? If so, that is a GREAT book. Full of so much info. Her plan

is

a higher carb than Adkins. Follow her plan or not, both her books are a well

worth reading! I highly recommend them.

Love ya,

Kiki

[Guest guest]

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

[Guest guest]

Bonnie,

Why don't you look into *How to Become Naturally Thin by Eating More* by Jean

Antonello? It looks like you may be underfeeding, according to how she defines

it. Also, I've looked at WW new Core Plan and it looks really good - basically

like the Naturally Thin plan but with some guidelines that I think would really

be helpful.

HTH,

[Guest guest]

Kiki et al,

I'll have to look tonight at the brand of CLA that I'm taking -- don't have the

bottle here at work. I buy my vitamins (most of them, anyway) from www.iherb.com

-- it's the cheapest and fastest place that I've come across. I did not buy the

Tonalin brand, but rather bought one that said it was just as good as the

Tonalin and had been certified by some group -- but lots cheaper. Don't really

know if it's helping or not, but plan to order another bottle and try for a

second month.

I restarted taking OoO yesterday -- and I've been super-tired (muscle-wise) --

maybe that's what hitting me? I will continue taking it, see if I come back to

feeling normal soon (usually I have loads of energy).

And no, I don't think I'm adding muscle -- I got married (second) in 1998, at

that time I was about 125# (which was a good weight for me). I was doing just

fine with my weight, then (around 1999) a doctor put me on HRH (everyone should

take it ....) and my weight jumped about 10 pounds. I quickly went off the HRH,

but that seemed to mark a constant weight battle -- I just keep adding a pound

here and a pound there ... never very much until I try on last season's

clothes.... I'm now up to 155# (I would be very happy with 135#). And I'm

fighting the need to go up to a size 12

Well, I'll just keep trying -- LL doesn't seem to move any weight off me, but it

does so much else for me that I'll continue. And I'll keep tweaking my diet

(though I do believe entirely in the low/good carb approach to eating). Oh

well...

Bonnie

Bonnie,

I just ordered a diet book, oh dear, I can't remember how to spell the name of

it. After reading about it I'm really excited to try it. It is much less

strict than the Atkins way of eating but they talk about not mixing certain

foods. For instance one thing I've learned is not to eat fruit with anything

else. Apparently it can cause weight gain...you should eat fruit separately

from anything else and then wait at least an hour to 2 hours before eating other

things. Also, there was an article I read somewhere about not eating carbs with

proteins...apparently this also can cause weight gain. I'll look up my order

and let you know what they name of the book is.

Re: Hi Friends!!

Bonnie, when you say you are still 20# over weight, are you losing inches?

If you're losing the inches, you'd be most likely building muscle, which we

all know weights more. Just curious about this. Also, question for ya. I

think tomorrow I'm gonna check out the CLA and CoQ10. How do you feel the NOW

brands has worked for you? I buy that when it's a good match for what I need,

less money ya know I think that's what I'll get in the CoQ10 as well,

unless

you can tell me something I'm not seeing in all my reading. I've been on the

Oregano oil for 5 days now. I wasn't sure if I was reacting bad to it or

not. I've been TOTALLY wiped for about that long. Tired before and the OoO

seemed to make it worse. The last 2 nights I was feeling 'fluie' as well.

Today

I finally feel better. Not tired, to bad anyway. {I've got 2 kittens that

like to play on me at 3 AM, so that wakes me up}. Been up since 6AM today and

don't feel to bad. I'm hoping that maybe, just maybe I'll get that energy

boost so many talk about. How are you doing on these sups?

Connie, thanks so much for asking. I'm doing OK. Nothing to shout about,

but nothing to be crying over. I'm good with that! I am trying to get back

on

the workout road. As I said earlier, I've just been sooooooo tired, no energy

at all. I hope that has changed and I'll be back to normal, whatever that

is...LOL

Is anyone else taking the sups I mentioned earlier? If so, would you mind

sharing your experiences? I swear, I'm gonna have to clean off an entire

shelf

soon, with all I take. The want to's and the have to's...

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.

You're so right, Kiki . . . I think it is very individual. That's why we always

see successes and failures with every program. I sure wish it were easier to

find what works, though!

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! Yes! That's the book! I read the history behind how they formed the

book and I can't wait to read it!

Re: Hi Friends!!

Jenni,

The reason for not eating fruit with any other food, is the way it digests.

TOTALLY different from carbs and proteins. As for what you read about not

eating carbs and proteins together, that is food combining, and I am a firm

believer in it! The 2 conbined are also the cause of being, scuse me, gassy.

Suzanne Somers, Summersize, is all about this. I don't really follow her

eating

plan, persay, as well as I don't follow Atkins or any one plan. I've been

eating high protein/low carb for so many years, I know exactly what I can and

can't do. However, I am always learning new things, and some I may give a

try.

Is the book you ordered possibly The Schawartzbein {I'm sure I misspelled

that!} Principle? If so, that is a GREAT book. Full of so much info. Her

plan is

a higher carb than Adkins. Follow her plan or not, both her books are a well

worth reading! I highly recommend them.

Love ya,

Kiki
