Liliann Glad to have you back. I lost weight on the Richard Simmon's Deal a Meal years ago but gained a lot of it back. I also lost weight on the Carbohydrate Addict's Diet a few years ago, but got off in 2007 when we moved to SC and gained a lot of the weight back and been bouncing around since then.
Carolr I seem to remember seeing Leslie Sansone's book in Costco several months ago, but I have so many diet books I didn't get it. I totally agree with her. I am eating more low carb but not an actual diet. I'm not counting calories or carbs; just following the IE rules we learned long ago eat when hungry, eat what I really want and like, savor every bite and stop when I'm satisfied. Still having problem with knowing when to stop, I am only eating when hungry and I'm finding I am eating less.
One thing I'm doing too is that I don't eat breakfast until I'm ready. If I'm hungry I eat it, but if I'm not hungry when I first get up then my breakfast becomes brunch later in the morning. I may eat a full breakfast or I may just have fruit and coffee. I am happy to say that IE is suddenly working for me. I feel so free not to have any calorie or carb counting I no longer find myself at the end of each day with calories or carbs that I have to eat to get them into the date. The freedom I'm finding with IE is fantastic. I sure want to be a good example of IE to my grandkids when they come to live with us.
DD is going to work an extra Monday for her boss so her co-worker can have her vacation so they probably will be here 2 weeks from today. Gives a day or 2 more to get things done here. Amazing thing is I met a lady today at the beauty shop who is the music teacher in the elementary school my youngest GD will be attending. She is a very nice lady.
Guess I better head for bed. It is after 1 am. So I guess all those things I shared about the kids were for yesterday.
