Wonderful news, Kay, congratulations to you both!! I am similarly happy with my results, just having a bit of trouble getting through the last 5 lbs, but I’ll get there. May have something to do with my addiction to ice cream in the summer 🙂
Hey Lynn. NP 🙂 I reread mine and see I had a similar quick trigger finger lol! Regarding Ice Cream, I have a similar problem. Try this thought – I make my own yogurt now. I mention the yogurt since the yogurt gets slapped into the IC maker or I make ice cream in it. The homemade ice cream or frozen yogurt is better for you, I think. My rule is that I have to make it, not just go diving into a store bought box. The theory is I can control the contents better – organics and cutting sugar content – while the additional work would cut down on my consumption. So far, so good 😀 Good luck on the last 5 and congratulations in advance 😀 wtg!!!
Thanks, Kat! I even bought some cream to make my own using mostly fruit and a little xylitol (can’t tolerate stevia or other substitutes) but just never got it made and had coffee instead 🙁
So now here’s the plan, I’ll use the plain yoghurt I buy (not ready to make it again, as I seem to be fully occupied making the other recipes) and I’ll add fruit and a little xylitol, and that will be my treat. Even after being on this regimen since Jan 1 I still am not very organized! I cook whole recipes and have lots of portions in the freezer, but amongst all my other interests and volunteer work my life is pretty chaotic. But, I am healthier and stronger and that’s the important thing 🙂
These past comments are superb. And greatly successful .
My situation is different. I was borderline Anoexic last year . I was down to 94 pounds.
O was was eating power bars and had lost my appetite. I became anemic and looked Awful.
I had to change. This diet is more of a way for me to get back to a normal and healthy life.
operagirlI have been following the Trim Down “diet” now for a month and am happy to report a 10 lb. loss. But more than the weight loss, I am happy that the plan is working and teaching me how to eat properly. I thought I knew it all since I have been on every diet out there. But this program has me learning what is healthy. It is not a diet but a way of life now. I have never had an easier time staying on course. With other diets, I was hungry, angry and did not feel well. I feel so much better now and look forward to continued success not just in the months ahead, but for the rest of my life. I want to lose 60 lbs in a year, but more importantly, I want my blood work to reflect my new healthy lifestyle. Thank you Trim Down Club.
I just joined today. I already feel more confident just reading the posted comments. Thank you!!!! This is much better than Facebook! HA!
My Husband joined trim down club to loose weight, to help him fight his disease and to eat the foods the doctor told him to eat. So he joined. I as his wife am the one that does the meals so I decided to blog. We started our eating healthy foods in January of this year. My husband has lost about 20 pounds even though he is on medicine that makes him gain weight he lost. I have lost 47 pounds eating high fiber, whole grains that are not refined and lots and lots of fruits and vegetables. I walk daily about 35 or more minutes a day. My husband also walks about 10 to 20 minutes a day.
Our doctor is happy about the weight loss and is encouraging us to keep going.Thank you. I just started yesterday and feel motivated to keep going. If I don’t do something about my weight, and with high Cholesterol, my doctor will prescribe a statin drug.
I joined a while back and lost 4 pounds fairly fast. I haven’t shared for a while and was encouraged to do so. I am now down 10 and a half pounds since I joined. Another two-pound loss will put me down to 160, a place I haven’t been in a very long time.
So proud of you Optimus and Foxx! (and others who reported earlier!) And, wow! Dstehen, I am so amazed for all this work you go to to help your hubby! Bless you! You deserve the kudos right along with him!! I have noticed that my husband is making better snack choices now. He will grab a yogurt or a stick of cheese. (May also have something to do with the fact that I am not buying him his chips and junk food any more! haha)
I have been on the diet for almost 7 mos and have lost 17 lbs. I haven’t seen this number on the scales in a while! 🙂 I only have 10 or 15 more to go … can’t decide which! haha Actually, the last 2 I have lost several times over the past month or two! Not sure what makes our body decide it’s going to gain again, or plateau.
Any thoughts Ossie of what we can do to get our weight moving again when it stops loss or even gains? I follow the menu faithfully and when I do have to dine out, I make healthy choices.Hi, blessingcatcher, and congratulations. Your pace of loss sounds excellent.
Regarding plateaus, if you are following your program fairly faithfully (meaning, no creeping up of portions or additives such as oils and sugars), it may relate to your muscles becoming “complacent”. The best way to jump-start your metabolism is to switch your exercise regime to work new muscles, or if you exercise very little, to add 5-10 minutes each day, or add a day.
If this has not worked for you or is not an option, please do repost, and we’ll think of other options.Thanks, Ossie! I had wondered about that. I will do some change up of my exercise and see if that helps. Yes, I am very pleased with my weight loss. Since I didn’t have but about 30 lbs to lose, I wanted it to come off slowly so I wouldn’t gain it back. Thanks again for all your help and encouragement, Ossie. I am sure you answer the same questions over and over!
