Uggghhh, the past week I have felt like crapola!!!! I don't know if it is mental or what, but i am just tired, weak, etc. I have stuck to the diet as I have found that after my Xmas eve and New Years eve cheating it is harder to get back on the horse.... On the bright side. down 53 pounds. The last couple of weeks the weight loss has slowed to the 5-6 pounds per week rate, but I guess that is to be expected toward the end. Anyone have anything uplifting? lol

How is everyone doing? I lost 6 this week (my first full week back)... I was down 7 the other day but settled in at 6 at the Dr office. I'm still not 100% on this... I think I need a nighttime project to keep me busy. I told my husband we should start cleaning out the garage or the basement or something to keep me occupied after 8PM.

Hope everyone is having a good week.

Hi everyone. I'm doing the bead diet down in New City, NY. It's an amazingly easy diet. Sometimes I forget I'm on it and think I'm cheating... and I'm not.

I started on February 6th and have lost about 13.5 pounds so far. Was hoping to have lost a lot more - have been sticking to it 100%. No cheating at all. I guess everyone is different. Any advice as to how I can get bigger chunks of weight loss each week? I need to lose 50 more pounds, so it's not like I'm a skinny chick .

:dizzy:

Thank you bead diet friends!

Also, I have some great recipes that I would love to share.

Hello! this is my 1st post here & I feel that I need to share with you my experience since I started this diet last yr. I did visit the office twice & went through orientation/e-mail support (informative/helpful), afterward I was on my own since it's a bit expensive and I don't have too much time to go back & forth the office to change beads. Beads are very helpful & if u do it regularly on the odd hr as recommended, your body will remind you every 2 hrs (funny but true). 1st 2 wks I lost 17 lbs but was experiencing cramps, more hotheadedness (I have vertigo). followed advise of taking honey with tea, more water, check my sugar & other labs (it was ok) eventually both went away. I have to say ,I have been on & off this diet specially during the holidays but once I go on, I see the results. I love this one more than any other ones I tried. I LOVE milk days,I'm never hungry on it & it's the easiest one.I can drink my coffee with whole milk. I buy frozen fruits & put on my cup of whole milk yogurt (shoprite brand is cheaper) & I drink lactaid 1 cup (minus what i used for coffee in a.m) for dinner. My Waterloo is vegetable days, it makes me hungry. I tend to eat other food on veg days since it makes me crave for other food. Still experimenting what good veg. I have no time for too much prep so veg days are a bit annoying for me plus I hav to drink my coffee black. Now, I don't even take sweetener since there's new study about it being contributory to wt. gain. I have 18 lbs to go. I was able to be off my bld pressure med after 2 wks of taking it since I lost 17lbs in those 2 wks. Very disciplined diet to follow and not for the undecided but be strong and it'll be your BFF. God bless us all!!!
