Hi everyone-I have shed 45 pounds in 5 weeks.No sugar,salt,bread,or starches.Low carbohydrates and oatmeal for breakfast every morning.No red meat .Only chicken and fish.6 ounces a day.Lots of fruits and vegetables.I am walking a lot more only It makes me spend more money cause I go shopping!LOL!Wish I had someone to share a walk with though.Thats one of the resons I started to diet.To improve not only my health but my appearance as well.I have several profiles and no one has ever said hello.I really think people are still looking at you from the outside and not from within.The majority of people are still obsessed with looks.Anyway sorry to bore you guys.Good luck to all who choose to "Diet".Have determination and may the force be with you!!

I would like to join this support group. I myself, stop eating red meat, and sugar(oh, how I miss my sugar) I have a bad sweet tooth. I walk 4 miles from work everyday except when its raining. Then it's about 2 miles total. 1 mile from work to the train station and 1 mile from the train station home. Hey just a hint I walk to the beat of the Black Eye Peas CD. Talk about a fat burner

I'd love to have someone to talk to about food n losing weight.(or even to not talk about food too) Dont want to be slim but it would be nice if there wasnt so much of me. I just wanna be healthy. Get in touch if ya want. i'm sure we'll get on, i get on with everyone. xx

Oh totally girl.
But I blew it recently.
I got Tre
emotional during my period and ate chocolate. Not a lot, but too much for me. ;)
I agree with not getting "Skinny" I still want my curves. I know I look good with those babies!
:P

madamechubbs sounds like you are on the right track, girl. keep it up.

i'm down to join your support group.

i don't want to be skinny, just drop some weight, but still be curvy, you know? so sign me up, this group sounds great.

I don't like to think of what I'm doing as dieting, but more of a "change of eating" habit. The only things I drink is water. And I stay far away from sugar. (That's tough!)
As for my work out, I stretch my muscles to the tune of 1 song, and I walk the block once or twice a day.
I'm losing weight, though, not as fast as I would like, but I feel better about myself.

I would like to not diet but
form a support group that talks about lifestyle changes
and good nutrition.

Give up caffeine I lost two stone in a month. It makes you ill for 3 days with seriously bad headaches but it's well worth it. So that's coffe, tea and coke (yes even diet coke). They sell loads of caffeine free drinks these days so why not give it a go it also lowers the blood pressure because your heart isn't being made to pump as fast.

Hey I'm with you. I KNOW I'm not going to get "thin" either, but I'd like to shed a few pounds, and feel better about myself. I've already eliminated chocolate, sugars, and the like from my diet. And soda. I drink flavored water (no sugar, carbs, sodium)and milk. I walk. Not regulary, but the days I have school, I do a bit of walking. So... we'll see. :)
I'm here to be your buddy, if you want. :)
