Loosing weight is the most hardest thing I have ever done in my life.. Tell your family good luck with the weight loss and if they need a cheering section and moral support to let me know... I have lost 40 pounds and I feel absolutely great....... My knee is so much better and my back doesn''t hurt me like it did....... I think I can defer that surgery for a few more years!!

Katrina, you get a huge ATTA GIRL from me.

I've lost 30 and I'm holdin(darn)...but I had thyroid problems, so I had a little help.

Let's talk about how you did it? What did you do? One thing that helped me was Beef Jerky and an apple for lunch. And I found I didn't need to eat the apple all at once. I could leave it and when I got a little hungry again, I ate some more of it.

People in the know tell me that when you are older, you need to eat more often to kick your metabolism up.

So, share your technique, ok?

They have been on it for a week and both have lost 4 lbs.

Atkins has it right...cut the carbs!
Carbs raise your blood sugar
Raised blood sugar causes your body to produce insulin
Insulin lowers your blood sugar by storing it as fat in your fat cells
Insulin stops your fat cells from providing energy
Minimum carbs, minimum insulin
Your body uses energy from fat cells
You lose weight

Condensed version, but you get the idea. Calorie restriction diets almost never work to keep weight off, unless you are willing to fight hunger the rest of your life!
