He teaches all of these at the elementary schools here in stark

county. He's only a sophomore. He was invited into the honors

program and so this is his first semester into the honors program in

college. There are already schools wanting him and talking to him.

He is going to be teaching high school.

Well, technically, you can't say you were on Phase 1 for that long

since you were eating things that aren't allowed on the Phase 1

plan. You sort of made up your own diet and it worked as far as

losing weight. Whether or not it was healthy isn't really for any of

us to decide. You are one of those people who need to see weight

loss immediately and you aren't as concerned about the long term

effects or results so that's fine. For you. But it's disingenuous

to say that it's from staying on Phase 1.

Ok, that is way you are only 5'. I am 5" taller! Yes, it is true if you used to pig out a lot and then change the way you eat. You will lose. It really is all about the calories going in. But you really need to start practicing and developing better choices for meals. I think that is why the group is getting annoyed. Popcorn, bars and frozen meals are taboo. I would think once a month for a treat or emergency in ok but not as a daily routine.

The first week I was doing popcorn which was bad but I stopped and

then it was the atkins bars instead of the desserts and so now I

stopped that. My doctor says I'm so much more healthier than I was

before. I was eating fast food at least once a day and so I needed

that craving fix. Now I'm not doing anything wrong and I've still

lost a lot of weight so I felt that I did well. You are exactly

right though about the type of person I am. I want to lose weight

fast. I ate everything else that was on the plan and I did it well.

I'm proud of myself. Considering it changed literally overnight. I

did a couple of things wrong but I was on phase 1 and I lost weight

and I got healthy. That's more than I could ever ask for.

<<Well I'm going with the diet exactly how it is set up in the book with the recipes in all. During the first week I messed up and had popcorn and the whole time I was on phase 1 I had an atkins bar which I stopped definitely. So I don't understand how I lost all the weight either. I exercised 1 time. I started out at 190 and now I'm 167. Maybe it's the worse you ate before the more you lose right away. I have no idea lol. I'm also 5 ft tall so I had a lot of weight to lose and still do. Keep your chin up your weight will come off of you!>>

Okay this is where I step up and then I think I am out of this discussion.

I am 5'7" and when I started this diet I weighed 317lbs. I followed the diet to a tee. I lost 18lbs my first two weeks. Why because before I went on SB all I ate was junk food. 32oz of soda everymorning, mcdonald's and our Taco Bell everyday for lunch. Sometimes for sinner when neither of us felt like cooking. That is why the weight came off. I changed the way I was eating completely. I have cheated on this WOE don't get me wrong. Many times but I am right back on the next day and I have learned that cheating right now gets me no where. After being on this WOE for 5 1/2 months I have lost 43lbs and still losing.

I am having a problem with your posts. They are repeating themselves to many different people. Please only respond once or twice the same way. Repediveness is good but not in this case, I would appreciate it.

I don't believe in blocking. You did ask for advice and it was given. We are all really supportive of each other and welcome you to the group with open arms.

, what will happen when in a few weeks you hit a plateau and

don't lose any weight, or due to hormonal issues or sodium retention

you gain a pound? Look for another 'new' 'improved' diet that will help

you lose faster? This WOE is about eating intelligently; sensible and

healthy. If you do that and move the focus off of immediate, constant,

x number of pounds=success weight loss then you will see that had you

not lost the 2 pounds you did, you were still doing great. Please do

not focus so much on the numbers but more on believing in the basics of

the WOE. " Another diet " is just that, another diet, no guarantees

unless YOU make it work.

I'm now at 167! So I'm pretty thrilled. If I didn't lose any

Okay I won't repeat myself anymore. I just wanted the individual

people that responded to me to not thing that I am ignoring them. I

think that's wonderful how much weight you lost! Congratulations!

I'm very proud of you and I'm sure you are proud of yourself. The

positive thing now about fast food is after the diet and I'm sure

you'll agree is that it smells disgusting. I've been in a drive thru

with my husband and just about couldn't stomach it so that's what

makes this even easier. I'm so happy for you!
