Hi Cruisers,
Just want to introduce myself to all of you. I am Laura, 51 yrs young, and need to release 65 lbs. I decided to try Jorges plan because when I saw him on TV show "EXTRA" it sounded doable for me. That was June 30th. I immediately checked his web site out and became a member that nite. That first month on the plan I lost 5 lbs which for me was good because other diets I would YoYo around on. This plan is easy to follow and I found myself staying with it for once. Then I became sidetracked because of my mom being in Nursing home.
I visit her allot. But somehow I was able to still lose and i was down to 211 from 220 lbs. This encouraged me to restart the plan. I started back on it last week and I really thot it was neat because I fit vanilla ice cream with hersheys syrup in my daily plan. It felt great being able to eat the things i liked and still be on the plan. I am thinking I'm going to lose 2 lbs this week so imagine my shock when I get on the scales and see it up 3 lbs. The only thing I can figure is the ice cream was not the 1/2 c serving I journalled. So I remeasured and it was more like 1 1/2 cup. So I decided no more guessimates with ice cream. I premeasured 2 portions for next week. I would have been fine but then I got a wrong attitude and because I was mad at myself I binged the rest of the week. So where am I today? I do not know because I won't get on the scale to see the damage. Where will I be? On the
3 Hour Plan tomorrow..Wish me strength and determination and back at you
Take Care Laura
he also has a book too 8 mins in the morning, it's work out routines, very simple needing no equipment, and it helps to lose weight quicker, but i love this new change of life style for me, i don't want to call it a diet. it's helped alot even getting my husnband to eat healthier,
Welcome and good luck. Which group do you post on at the JC site? Do you know that this group originally started on JC site. A few of us are still there (we post both places). Come say hello at Lifetime Cruisers at JC site.
Hang in there - we've all been there - not liking the weight gain and then binging the rest of the week because we gave up. But you have a great attitude - you are ready to start again. Good luck this week. You'll do it - I can feel your determination.
Those measurements can be a real eye-opener. It takes a while to get aclimated to the program, but once you do it becomes habit. Make sure you are getting the right quantities of foods - weighing things definitely helps get you on track. I know when I measured out 1/2 spahetti - I laughed Now I am used to it and plan lots of veggies around it.
You sound positive and upbeat about the program and that is half the battle. We are here for you - just jump in and start posting.
Welcome. Veggies are now my favorite thing in the meals! Like Terri said load up on veggies. I do that and I see a decrease, sometimes I just dont have enough available. Even my freezer get depleated too. So load up on veggies!
Laura,
I was so happy to see your post.I tried to email you many times but i guess you were busy taking care of your mom. This is a great group and I am still struggling with my feet but staying on plan better and losing very slowly. Welcome to this great group! Wendy
