Today is Friday and I've been having a difficult week...and overall a difficul time losing weight. First of all, I ate half of a Carrot Cake....but was on plan prior to that eating Whitecastle Pie...but that seemed to be a lot of calories...and cheese!

When I was on Atkins I stuck to it but I was tired all of the time and I was eating a lot of fat, but especially a lost of cheese.... I've been reading a lot of diets on this forum trying to figure out just what is right for me... I like CAD and lost initially 5 pounds, but nothing after that. Then I started cycling and kept gaining and losing the same 5 pounds... Then went to South Beach and lost that 5 pounds in a two week period and nothing since....that was around August 9th...

Based on what I know for sure, I know that when I switch diets I lose weight initially that week but afterwards nothing. So that is telling me that I need to switch things up to continue losing, however, that could simply mean adding in some good carbs and not switching plans...

Plans that I am considering are Eat Fat Get Thin, Barry Groves, and Suzanne Sommers, Sommercize Program....

Today Fawn suggested that following these guidelines would result in a good weight loss program....

[COLOR=red]A solid weight loss plan that most will not have any problems losing on would include:[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]animal proteins including eggs and fish[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]coconut oil[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]olive oil[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]butter[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]vegetables all other than root veggies and corn[/COLOR]

I Hope You DANCE!!! Posted 02-07-2009 at 12:57 PM by skeeweeaka [COLOR=magenta]I Hope You Dance lyrics[/COLOR] [COLOR=magenta]I hope you never lose your sense of wonder, You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger, May you never take one single breath for granted, GOD forbid love ever leave you empty handed, I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean, Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens, Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance, And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance. I hope you dance....I hope you dance. I hope you never ... Continue reading... skeeweeaka Senior LCF Member

Cleaning House 2009! Posted 02-04-2009 at 09:23 AM by skeeweeaka CLEANING HOUSE FOR 2009 Last Week I threw out worrying, it was getting old and in the way. It kept me from being me; I couldn't do things God's way. I threw out a book on MY PAST (Didn't have time to read it anyway). Replaced it with NEW GOALS, started reading it today. I threw out hate and bad memories, (Remember how I treasured them so)? ... Continue reading... skeeweeaka Senior LCF Member
