I wish I had the discipline to follow a diet, but I don't! LOL! I just try to

eat less cr@p and more good stuff. I keep an eye on my calorie intake too.

Keeping a food journal has helped me a lot.

Mine was a little tight and I found out the day off the wedding. My sister

had to creatively safety pin the back. LOL.

Who still hasn't decided what to do with the dress since the bottom is ruined.

Dawn,

I do Zone, not for weight loss, but for low blood

sugar problems. To combat the low blood sugar, my

doctor told me to eat frequently. Well, I didn't want

to gain any weight, so I would eat lots of baby

carrots. By 4 o'clock, I could barely keep my eyes

open and thinking was out of the question. I had

trouble driving home from work. After dinner I would

start to feel better. I didn't know it, but I was

sabotaging myself with a low-fat, high carb

diet...cereal, skim milk, and OJ for breakfast, baked

potato or pasta for lunch, and lots of fruit and

carrots for snacks. I didn't have any significant

protein until dinner.

I started researching diets when I realized that my

wedding ceremony was right in the middle of my " zombie

period " . Two weeks before my wedding I changed my

diet. I didn't know what to eat, and ate so much

cheese, that I thought that I may gain some weight,

but I didn't care if it controlled my blood sugar.

Not only did it control my blood sugar, but it

controlled my hunger, and without realizing it, I lost

weight too. So much, that my wedding dress didn't fit

(2 days before the wedding).

With all of the stress I've been going through

lately, I haven't been zoning the way I should, and

can really tell the difference in my energy level and

the way my pants fit. I highly recommend Zoning as a

way of eating for the rest of your life.

If you decide to start Zoning, let me know. I can

give you some good web sites to get you started.

Dawn,

When I first started Tae-Bo I was doing WW! I am a lifetime member of

WW and am now at my goal weight. I think it's a very sensible plan

that teaches you about portion control and living a healthy

lifestyle! Now, I basically eat whatever I want....and allow myself

indulgences but try to keep them in moderation (emphasis on the word

TRY...LOL)!

Dawn,

I basically started Zoning for the same reasons as Kerri. Not always was I

always hungry on low fat, high carb diets, I often didn't feel good and

would have bouts of low blood sugar and nauseousness.

I also have IBS and find that the Zone is a good balanced diet for me. Why I

chose the Zone over other low carb diets is that technically nothing is

forbidden on the Zone. If I absolutely have to have a piece of cheesecake, I

can balance it out iwth a protein shake or something...of course, some foods

are better for you than others, but with this diet I know all my options are

always open and I don't feel deprived.

Thanks Kerri - maybe we can chat through email! I don't want

to bore the rest of the group :-P But sooo much of what you said

sounds familiar to me...just add that my hands start shaking and

I feel extremely anxious and you've got it!!

The last couple of weeks I have been eating more healthy (no

fast food!) and I have been eating what makes me feel better..

i.e. cheese or tuna- and I have resisted the low fat bug...like

rice cakes or popcorn etc. and I feel really good. I haven't

lost a bunch of weight according to the scale but all of my

clothes are fitting much nicer and I feel like I'm in control.

It used to baffle me every time I'd try to do the low-fat thing

that I would feel worse!!!
