had a bad week this week,I’ve had a sore throat so unable to exercise and haven’t eaten good tea either. planning to get back to it next week, will have to see what the scales say on monday
Hi Emmafroud,
Sorry to hear you haven’t been feeling well. It seems like I’ve read that a lot lately. The good thing is, it sounds like you have the mindset to jump right back in to the good eating 🙂
I’ve been at a slow point myself, as far as the scale moving. I think I have finally gotten to the point that I can say I really don’t care about it that much! I am feeling better, have more energy and my clothes are definetely fitting better so I won’t complain. The scale used to be a BIG thing for me, could throw me into a depression way too fast. Finally realized I have too many things to feel blessed by than to let it control my life!Be well,
Dorysshi doryssb,
thanks for your message and I agree its not about the scales as much as it is about how I feel in my clothes and how comfortable I am with myself. I am annoyed that im still not better so cant exercise, the program I do is intensive and your told not to unless your well. this is the first serious diet ive been on as my extra weight came from my pregnancy with my son where I always felt hungry and as a result over ate a lot and didn’t realy slow down that much after, its good to hear some positive feedback from people as I think to many negative comments can make you doubt the programOk Emmafroud, now you’ve got me curious…what kind of an exercise program do you do? You might even spark an interest for me to give something new a try 😉
Doryss***New Recipe***
Skillet Green Beans
1 lb green beans
1 C. chopped onion
2 cloves garlic
1/2 C. chopped red bell pepper
1 T raw butter or 1 T olive oil
1 C. chicken broth (low sodium)
1/2 to 1 tsp kosher salt (can substitute regular table salt; use 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon)
Ground black pepper to taste*Snap the stem ends of green beans, or cut them off in a big bunch with a knife,
*Melt butter/olive oil in a skillet over medium low heat.
*Add garlic and onions and cook for a minute.
*Then add green beans and cook for a minute until beans turn bright green.
*Add the chicken broth, chopped red pepper, salt, and black pepper.
*Turn heat to low and cover with a lid, leaving lid cracked to allow steam to escape.
*Cook for 20 to 30 minutes or until liquid evaporates and beans are fairly soft, yet still a bit crisp.
*You can add more chicken broth during the cooking process, but don’t be afraid to let it all cook away so the onions and peppers can caramelize.

Hi doryssb, I, sorry we do Tony Horton P90 its very good we are working our way up to P90x and P90x2. Me and my husband are up at 5.20 week days so we can workout before he goes to work. I started off with the 10 min trainer also very good it got my interest back for exercise and energy, if you want to have a look go to Beachbody.com
Hi there, I started this new on the first of January. Since then I have lost fourteen pounds. It really works! The menu planner can be a bit confusing at times, but with practice you can make it good. Just take it one day at a time. Don’t expect huge results every week, one or two pounds is great though. Slow and steady means it won’t come back fast. It changes your whole life, I feel better then I have in a long time. I can even bend over without being out of breath, lol. Take care, have fun with it too.
Hello New Friends,
I have a silly question. I just started this new program today and I am so excited about it but I was wondering if we eat all items listed in the menu planner or just select one food item from each category?
For Breakfast it suggests:
½ cup of Oatmeal (cooked)
½ cup of Milk (organic), skim
1 Egg (omega-3)
1 Peach (medium)
Do we eat all of those items?Hello to all the new members 🙂
Hope you all are getting along well. It can be a little confusing or even overwhelming for some at first, if that is the case just read, read, read. There is so much information on this site we’re all bound to learn something!I have another recipe to share. If any of you have any recipes that aren’t on the recipe page…please share 🙂 You can also go to the recipe page and click on ‘add recipe’ in the upper right hand side and the TDC team will analyze it and possibly add it to the recipe page.
Here’s the new one:
Spiced Carrots
1 T. Olive Oil ~ Heat in skillet over med. heat4cloves garlic, minced
2t. paprika
1 t. ground cumin
1t. ground coriander
Add to the skillet, cook stirring until fragrant but not browned, about 20 seconds.3 C. Sliced Carrots (4 med-lg.)
1 C. Water
3 T. Lemon Juice
Salt to taste
Add to pan, bring to simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook until almost tender, about 5-7 minutes.Uncover and simmer stirring often until the carrots are just tender and the liquid is syrupy. Approximately 4-6 minutes
Stir in 1/4C. chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.
I do have the nutritional breakdown for this one if anyone is interested.
Have a blessed evening,
DoryssHi Emmafroud, My son used to do P90 and then P90X so I am familiar with it. You and your hubby should see some results from that pretty soon, it’s hard core! We, my husband and I, use a Concept 2 rower and I alternate with the treadmill. I want to start doing Zumba classes again but I have a stupid (self-inflicted) shoulder injury and I’m a little afraid of tweeking it.
Gotta run to pick kids up from school, have a great day!
Doryss
