Well... I think im going to do the diet but Im going to change it up a little.  If it doesnt work, maybe that will be why?  LOL ... Not to keen on using packaged bouillon cubes and onion soup mix.  I have used but they are full of salt and I think thats not a good idea, i retain water like crazy.  I think im going to make it more like

  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 quarts of chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
  • 1/2 head cabbage, cored and coarsely chopped
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can Italian-style stewed tomatoes, drained and diced or actual tomatoes.
  • 2-3 celery stick (not the whole stalk), diced
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 2 bell peppers, sliced

Soy sauce and all that has a lot of salt and I think thats what Ill do.  Im actually going to change up the rules as well.  Like you said, I might have a different breakfast (something more toward a approved south beach breakfast) and then the soup for lunch and dinner.  Im going to eat nuts for snacks, cause snack should be a part of a diet, right? I dont know what I will do without my bananas but I think this might be a good way to do it.  Ill find some other fruit, dont know what yet...

Thanks for the ideas guys!

Ohio! Im glad you lost weight!  Keep motivated guys.

AHA! Cool ... ill do the cabbage diet next week with some fruit and nuts.  Sounds like  plan.  Say fruit and nuts cause I think it will be hard, since I just started.  This week was my moms birthday and next week is my bf's birthday so hopefully I wont go bad next week.  Tonight I think I was a pretty good for my mom's b-day.  No app or bread, 6 once steak with veggies and my desert was a small peace of banana pie.  Ok! Banana pie, not so good!  BUT I had to have banana pie.  Tomorrow Im going to start back up on my Kinetics.  Hopefully I will still find it fun so I get my exercise.  Have you guys seen Kinetics?  Thanks for the cabbage recipe, I hope it helps! And Tonia, congrats on the one pound and for not eating the pizza, I hope I can get on track like that!  =)

Hey! Well... thank you for the hello.  You know, every day I sit down and think about my over eating and my lack of excersise and I tell myself I need to get back on track.  Now ... for some wierd reason, I allow myself to disobey myself whenever I get into emotional eating.  The thing is, I used to think emotional eating was because I was depressed or sad.  Since that used to happen to me a lot back when I weighed in at 200lbs.  Now ... I over eat even when Im angry and almost any other emotion I feel except for happy.  I love food.  And for some reason, something I couldnt do after I started dieting, now I can eat and eat and eat and seem to never get full.  And sometimes, even though Im almost full, I dont stop there, I wanna finish what I have on the plate, cause its so good.  I dont eat good portions, dont eat good food and I surely dont chew my food like Im supposed too.  I take it too far and sometimes I cant control myself.  My bf, we live together, he doesnt have to control his portions.  He eats like a pig and doesnt really gain a pound.  The thing is, I see him eat and I wanna eat, I see him going for some sweets and I want it too.  Although, he has some more control than me.  He's stuck on this world of warcraft game and he plays it for hours.  As long as he's playing, he doesnt get hungry.  Now, I tried that, doesnt work for me.  Anyway ... im venting here because I need to stop! No more excuses, no more I cant.  I need to challenge myself once again and try to stop using my bf and as my wall to success.  I need to learn to say no and learn to get off my butt and just go excersise.  I wish I knew people locally so I could have someone to workout with a set goals with.  I need a challenge! Give me a challenge guys.  =)   LOL  

Thanks, this is nice, to have someone to talk to who understands.

Wow! Im new here and let me tell you.  Reading all your posts ... IM NOT ALONE!  Im in need of true motivation.  Im an emotional eater.  This sucks! I was 200 pounds, lost 40 pounds with the help of a nutrition doctor and my mothers motivation and a good old fashioned break up.  Now ... I've gone from 160 to 171 in a matter of weeks and am binge eating again.  My bf is a skinny little guy who can eat what he wants and I LOVE FOOD! Its hard and I hate that I have lost so much weight and then gained 11 pounds back.  I am way over weight still and according to all the charts I should be around 130.  I need to lose weight, I feel so un healthy.  I need a buddy.  =~(

Thanks for the listen!

Is jump roping as good an exercise as running?

In terms of calorie burning, moderate jumping is about equal to running a 10-minute mile, although calorie burning is always a function of time... Read more
