Dear Rae,
When I said *i don’t know about you guys* I was referring to your weight loss histories- I had no idea what you have been through! I’ve tried a lot of different things and bought shelves worth of books over the past few years-
and none of them had the support of the person who actually wrote the book or created the plan.

If you are ladies and your weight has stalled even though you are doing things *by the book* check your calendars and see where you are in your cycle-any water weight gain can make you seem stalled at that time of the month.

also if you are eating protein, is it salty?

I would watch the sodium-and the calendar and keep up the good work!

Kathy and rae,
I don’t know about you guys-but I have spent waaay more than 50 dollars over the years on weight watchers(several times)and diet center(tm. hahahaha!!) atkins on line and cases of slim fast(boy did that stuff make me HUNGRY)
AND books and books and books.
I probably singlehandedly put some kid at Amazon.com through grad school- and…[Read more]

thanks.
that’s great news because I am a big water drinker, and I just stocked up on the crystal light flavored teas to add to the bottles.
I bought some snickers bars and baby ruths(my personal favorite) so I am set for the next few days.
I think that will help with the portion control part until my stomach sense is reset to the smaller…[Read more]

marina, it’s my first day too.
I just found out a few weeks ago I have cervical cancer -but I am going to eat my 2x 5 bites anyway-after all overeating feeds the cancer cells too.
I have a staging biopsy(Leep procedure) next week, maybe no further treatment.

today I worked through breakfast and didn’t miss it.
Past 1 PM I ate 5 bites of a…[Read more]

OMG that’s IT??
I see NOW why they are calling this the gastric bypass without the bypass diet!!
Ingenious to re-train the stomach to expect less food by eating less volume at each meal.
this will be easy for me because I am not a breakfast eater nor a snacker.

Acceptable drinks are water and what else- is iced tea OK?
I don’t like diet soda or…[Read more]

Thanks for the peptalk
I can lose weight quickly, but I also have the ability to gain it rather quickly as well.
I don’t yo-yo up and down with dramatic losses and gains…it’s just the same 20 pounds that I have dealt with since I <ahem> hit 40 about 8 years ago.
my metabolism skidded to a screeching halt, crashed and burned.

Granted I am eating…[Read more]

hello! My name is Teresa
I just ordered the book after hearing about it last night on Extra.
I didn’t see the story-but found enough online to pique my interest.

I used to work with a tiny slip of a lady from Bosnia who lunched on a cup of latte and a few crackers or cookies. I thought it was like a prison diet, but she enjoyed it and worked as…[Read more]
