Which basically translates to: NO CARBS NO FRUIT NO VEGGIES And thats about the size of it!!! I've tried it and it didn't work for me.

Yep. I don't get it. It seems no matter WHAT I do, no matter what plan, I get the same results, which is no results, Though, I DO have to mention, I haven't lost nary a thing since I started allowing myself fruit. I didn't TOUCH one piece of fruit before about 1.5-2 months ago, and that's when all hell broke loose. -beth --- who is growing tired of this game of eating!!

Beth, I don't know what to say... I am down just 90 lbs and try to look at more about how I feel than what I weigh. I eat fruit and vegtables. Actually, most any foods as long as they are prepaired correctly or very small amounts. Fritos, cinimon Life cereal, Generally, I feel better on a balanced diet that includes fiber and protien. My daily protien ranges between 65 and 85, 40 of which come from zero-carb ispure. My focus is more on how to eat on a day-to-day basis. Also, I have 2 cups no-sugar added or low-fat hot chocolate Monday through Friday. Exercise is usually 3-4 times a week for about 60 minutes each with about 30-45 minutes in the target heart range. I hit plateaus like everyone else, but still see a consistent weight loss. If I did a chart, it would have a squigly line. My biggest test is how my clothes fit. I buy them a little snug and know I am doing well when they start to get loose. The thing is not to ever give up and to look at developing eating habits that you can maintain for a lifetime. The weight loss will come in time. Karen

If you see my weight chart, it's gone nuts... it's bouncing up and down, mostly up. -beth 313/298/155 (up from 148)/130
