Hi Elizabeth,

I am not losing very quickly (1.2 lbs per week) and one of the reps here told me if I get my starches in before 3Pm then things will work better . It has helped me out.

My body is going nuts too. I am up then down then up etc.Never once have I gone in and lost 2 times in a row.

So I ate a massive (for me) breakfast of 2 eggs, yogurt (1/2 amount) and oatmeal (1/2 starch), a smaller lunch and then a smaller dinner ( I was not really that hungry) I was done most of my food for the day by my weigh in at 6pm tonight and had drank all the recommended water.. I was down a lb! Here is hoping after the weekend, things will keep moving. I am sticking to the express with the odd thing out of free to live. Thanks for your help and suggestions everyone!

Good Luck! Keep us posted.

Tracey

Hey Elizabeth!
I went into my COD today for the first time since last Friday (so, a full week) and I was down 3.6 ... I could not belive it! I have only been eating out of the Express menue all week... could be on to something ...

Wow! Chan that is awesome! Very happy for you! Although it is really difficult for me to stay on express now that I have had free to live. So I commend your will power!

Thank You Cecil =)
Believe me, I am not POP with the Express plan... but I try to stick to it as much as possible!

Consume infrequently means "stay the **** away from it" - or at least this is how I interpret it... I have a really hard time eating these foods as I am afraid that I will not lose what I should that week...

Chan.. that is awesome! I only am using free to live if I go out or end up at a friend's to eat. At home I am sticking to the express!

it is quite possible that you aren't getting ENOUGH food. when you don't eat enough/burn too many calories your body will hold onto what you do eat to store as fat. I would stick to weight training 3x a week and just 20min of cardio(your running) 4x a week

What about serving sizes on the express vs the free to live? I have 20lbs to lose and just curious.

Hi!

I am doing TO right now but starting the La express tomorrow after To is done. I am hoping this jumps starts my weight loss again as I have stalled the last couple of months.
My question those on Express do you miss not having a little Pasta, Rice Etc when doing express?
can someone help with ideas for starchs while on this plan?

Thanks
Stacie

I do miss it lots but would rather not have it and loose and bring it back in during the maintenance part. I use a bit of pita bread, crackers and starchy veggies whenever possible. Good luck tomorrow!
