Well, those horrible 8 lbs. are gone again!!! It was a real eye opening experience for me. Several of my friends and co-workers started this week bringing healthy lunches to work. We all go upstairs to a little break area and eat instead of going out to lunch everyday. We do allow ourselves one day a week to eat out, and today is the day. I am going to try and not blow what I have accomplished in the last 2 weeks. Good luck all!!!!

:clap_1: that was quick KD. what is your secret??? please do tell!!! right now!!!

I lost 10 lbs this month due to a special diet I had to go to try and restore my bodies natural flora because of all the antibiotics I have been on.
A yeast free diet, which is very similar to Adkins. No sugars, no starches, no sweetened drinks. The only thing I have been eating is salad with oil and lemon(no salad dressings) No fruits, except for grapefruit, lemons, limes, tomatoes and avoocado. Sparingly, apples, pears, strawberries.
Cant have any oranges, bananas, grapes.

No starchy vegetables, like potatoes, rice, beans, and absolutely no bread, cereals, cakes etc.

I am losing my mind. I love a muffin in the morning and breakfast is hard on this diet. All i eat is eggs. Wake up, ok, "how will I prepare my eggs today?" and some days if I have the energy, I add bacon. Whoopee!

It was so hard last weekend at my sisters son christening party. Couldn't have the pasta, no bread, only ate the chicken with salad. and then oh my god, having to pass up Tiramasu! I went outside to cry.

Thanks Tootsie. It's brutal for us Italian girls to pass up our pasta and here in New York, we have the best pizza and Italian bread and cannolli's, (oh, I can't even go there). I haven't had pizza in a year! I am allowed to have soft cheeses, so I have been getting mozzarella balls and seasoning them with garlic and oil. Closest thing I got to pizza for now.

But with all the reading on pro-biotics I have done, I came across a book written by a lady called" French woman don't get fat". I assume it has something to do with all the yogurt they eat in Europe, especially Holland, where they have a dairy aisle dedicated to just yogurt. I haven't read the book, just breezed by it, by I assume it has soemthing to do with how pro-biotics encourage better digestion of essential nutrients your body needs.
If I find the link again, I will re-post it on this thread.

I guess on the bright side, I can fit in my size 6 pants again.

Well, I went back on the Phase I part of the South Beach Diet. I cut out all rices, breads, pastas....even the whole wheat kind which is what I have been eating for the past 1 1/2 years. I have really been eating only lean meats and green veggies. It really does help to remove all the cravings when you do without them for awhile. I was very proud of myself yesterday. We had an Ice Cream going away social for one of our student aids. They had about 5 kinds of Ice Cream, Dip, Chips and soda. I walked back to my office right after the offical goodbye. I didn't stay in the room, which would have tempted me. I felt so good being able to walk away. It was hard but I did it.

Also, a group of us here at work have been bringing healthy lunches everday. Now I just have to get that exercise in....UGH, I hate it. But I will start walking when it cools off some.....

I read it- and what I got out of it was portion control. I don't remember anything about pro-biotics. The main theme is French women eat what they want and stay slim because they don't eat like pigs. One suggestion was not filling your plate to the outer edge with food- just enough food to fill the inner circle.

I'll need new dishes.
