Hi I am Sandy in Edmonton and have just started herbal magic on March 17. I am hoping I may join your blog and I am trying to find some online support to share a few ideas and recipes etc.
the diet thing in NOT a new conception for me. I yo yo so uch I am just sick and tired of it...

A little about myself:
Age 46
height5' 7''
Weight start 218
Mini Goal 195
by When June 4 (my daughters graduation)
Goal 160
sept 1--

I am married 24 years with a son who is 21 and a daughter who just turned 18. I have a 28 year old step daughter (step stressed only for vanity for my age) who has given us a wonderful grandson who is 3. I just love that little man and want to be around for a long time for him.

I started at 218 and current is 210.8. I am quite please with this number for 3 weeks. I have not really gone excesizing at all just walking my dog...but hope to change that next week. Well I am going to go a read back a few pages and hope to hear from someone soon..take care

Hi I am a loser--my son is home from work and helped me--I didn't realize it shows on the last page thought it showed past to present.....I actually have not been measured yet...this wednesday I will get my first numbers and I am kind of excited about it. I can sure feel it in my jeans...I don't feel like a stuffed sausage quite so much...

well off to make mu lunch and then off to bed...I have to work tomorrow

Hi Sandi!

It is good to meet you! Hope we can all work together and make this journey more fun with some new girlfriends!

Congrats on your losses! Have a good day at work.

Hi everyone, just signed up to this and have no idea what I am doing yet. Just jointed this thread...hope that was correct thing to do. Anyways, I have spent the last month analysing all the optiona, LA, Jenny, Nutri etc and I have decided to go with Herbal Magic.

The decider for me was, I still need to be the mom in our house and cook for my family. My husband and son could benefit from lighter cooking as well so it just seemed like a win.win.

I live in a very small community and have about a 45 min. drive from the Herbal Magic office so I will only be driving in twice a week...hope this works for me. Look forward to hearing from others and following our progress.

Welcome to Sandy and Laurie.. Its great to see some new people in here..

I am Trudy. Married for 24 years to the same guy. LOL. 3 kids.
23yo married daughter and grand daughter that is 6 weeks..
21yo daughter lives in Toronto and 17 yo son still at home.
We live just outside of Alliston ONtario.

Christina: I laughed when I read about you taking your clothes off to weigh.. I have also thought about it.. Hahaha. I do take off my sweater and go in a tank.

Well not much news in my weigh as of today.. I was going to go in today but ran out of time since they are only open till noon.. Hopefully Monday the scale gods will be good to me..
Sandy: I love the feeling of loose jeans.. Its the best.

HAve a great weekend girls, its really nice out today warm and sunny.. I love it.

So christina how did you get past that stall you had a couple of weeks ago?.. I feel like I am bouncing around the same couple of pounds for a while now.

Welcome Laurie and Happy you found our Little HM thread !
Wow a 45min drive. I cant see why it wouldn't work on only driving in 2xwk.
it only on work on how the food change is doing with you ! I did the same ting analyzing all the programs out there and choose this one because I have 2 other friends right at work on this and they are doing Great !

Hum Trudy I was changed to the Chicken & Eggs,Greens Veggies Dietby the Councillors
at the center.
It took me a few weeks to get over the Bump I was stuck at for 2.5wks but that took me a few to get there. I had changed my diet before going to HM and took off 5lbs(water) So I was already staring my weigh lose area.

Laurie!

I made the choice to go Herbal Magic for the same reasons.

I do find it takes alittle more time to convert the recipies to feed the 5 of us. But so far everyone has liked everything.

But after being afraid for a few days about running out of portions. I realized how much food it really is and now am having a hard time getting it all in. I also learned that it actually takes time to eat health. Have to schedule the day more carefully. Since I really never took time to each bfast or lunch. But dinner and snacking lots after the kids went to bed!

Have a great weekend!

Morning All...

Julia - My biggest down fall was snacking after supper.. Also around 4 pm too.
The 4pm snack time I changed to coffee and usually an orange. But I still struggle with the after dinner snacking.. I find if I have cottage cheese mixed with pinapple (really good) keeps me full and snack-free till bedtime. My couselors told me that they are working on a new menu that includes the "100
calorie" packs of snacks.. Cookies etc. For 1 free exchange. I tried one and they are good and with a coffee keeps you from eating a whole bag of cookies.

Christina- Do you find it hard to stick with just the chicken, eggs and green veg diet? There is not much selection.
