Almost4 yrs out, remember me?

I started a page on Facebook for people who want to lose in the new year. It is helping me too. Several of my old friends from here who gained some back and are trying to get back on the wagon. I went from a 22 to a size 5/6 now back up to a 10 some even a 12. Sigh. I will do it though!

Hey Bikerchickk,

I'm getting off diet coke and back on track with a protein-filled food plan. I'm interested in Beijing part of your Facebook page. Will you pls send me the link?

That you so very much for the warning!!!! I used to drink 2 or 3 a day, so I'm so glad you got on here and warned us, especially of how bad this triggers the carb cravings.  Thank you!  I'm glad you are back on track and not letting it control you any more!

I have noticed any artificial sweetener triggers cravings, so does corn syrup. I have banned them from my house now!

Hello again!  I tend to drink tea and coffee with no problems. You are so right about diet soda, it does seem to be very addictive.  Welcome back!!!!!!

Hey Paul! I remember you!  I am having coffee with my protein drink right now :)

Yes I remember you, had my surgery in july 2010 and I also have gained about 20lbs back and was just getting everything together to get back on track.  Starting the LOW CARB thing which seems to work best for me.  Stay in touch 

Me too, I am going to do a 48 hr liquid diet then back on my low carb. Cleaning all the carbs out of my system. I know I can do this. WE can do this.

THANK YOU , Bikerchickk for the warning.  I am 6 weeks post-op and have been a Diet Dr Pepper addict for more than a decade.  The first few days after surgery I was jonesing bad for the diet DP.  Now that I have gone 6 weeks without I was wondering if I would be able to start again (b/c my doc said NO carbonation).  But your warning tells me to stay off the stuff, so I thank you.  Diet pop is off the table.  Forever.

And as my son told me "Mom,  it's not like drinking all that diet pop helped, you were still fat."  So true.

I love children :)
