My Grandmother passed away..Hoping now to try this again..

Hello...

Well, I'm back and hoping to get this started under better cir****tances that will have me home more making better food choices, and waaaaaaaay less stress..

I have a PS date of July 21, 2011, so I really want to get off these last few pounds plus another 5 or so, before the surgery date...All advise on how to get started and to keep it up will be soooo appreciated..!

What worked for you the best..?

Thanks Everyone...it's good to be back in the game, with a better out-look for success in losing these last clinging pounds..

Sorry for your loss,Cyndy,but glad your grandmother has gon on to her reward. I firmly believe in my heart that there ARE worse things than dying.

I found out that cold turkey was about the best for me. s long as I was still having a little carb here aND THERE IT WAS HARDER TO LET THEM GO COMPLETELY. i PRETTY WENT ALL PROTEIN EVEN GOING OFF GOOD CARBS LIKE BEANS AND NUTS UNTIL i COULD GET THRU THE DAY WITHOUT THINKING OF CARBS OR EATING ANY. i HAVE GRADUALLY ADDED BACK SOME BEANS HERE AND THERE AND SEEM TO BE DOING WELL.

sORRY FOR THE ALL CAps  NOT SHOUTING,BUT NOT GOING TO GO BACK AND TYPE ALL THAT AGAIN,LOL

bE KIND TO YOURSELF,BUT FIRM,

Hey Girl and Thank you for what you said about dying..I believe that, as well.

Is the turkey you eat from the deli or do you bake the trukey breast yourself..?

Thanks again..!!

by"cold turkey" I meant stopping all carbs at once and not trying to do it a little at a time but I do like turkey breast from the deli or homemade too,lol.

Cyndy,
I am sorry for your loss. I too have lost both my brother and grandfather this past month and it is hard to get back on track after that! We can do it though!

What's worked for me the best is completely eliminating all refined carbs as well as fruit *for awhile at least*  Focus on good, lean protein. Egg, chicken, fish...make sure to get plenty of fluids and a little exercise.
I'm currently going through day 3 and the headache is still in full swing but I know it will leave eventually.

Also the carb accountability thread rocks!

OH-MY-GOODNESS...YOU HAVE HAD AN AWFUL MONTH..!
I can not even imagine the hardship that had to bring..I'm sooooo sorry for your loss and for soooo  much hurt in such a short time..

Thank you for the advice, I really appreciate it..!!
