I remember when I first joined this site a year ago, just as I was starting my diet, I couldn't even dream of losing 100 pounds or more. 16 months and 73 pounds later, and I feel like I just might reach the 100 pound mark. Here's the problem- it's one I think people here can understand...

Hi everyone! I've been here before, but it's been about a year. The good news is that in the last year I've lost 73 pounds. The bad news is that I've hit a terrible plateau and can't seem to lose more weight. Oh, and did I mention I've got at least 50 pounds left to go? Some background...

Hi everyone! I just wanted to let you know how my weight loss has affected my PCOS. Before I started my diet, i was getting my period about twice a year! I got my period one week before I started, so I thought I would have months before my next one. Imagine my shock when, three weeks into my...

Hey, I am back! My life over the past two months has been so whirlwind, but I did lose 23 pounds, feeling great, looking great, and hoping to keep it up. My first goal, which I have almost reached the halfway point for, is 50 pounds. When I get there, I am buying a new laptop! I need to...

I don't think I under-ate at all. I actually think I ate too much starches. I am being more careful about them this week. Thanks for the encouragement!

I dieted like crazy all week, then got on the scale and found that I didn't lose at all. Not a drop. I almost decided to give up, but I was strong and I decided to be even stricter on my diet this week. Did this ever happen to anyone else? By the way, it got me thinking about fat versus...

My book considers omega 3 eggs as "yellow light" foods, but I try to stay away from them. Egg white, when cooked properly, can be really delicious. It must be hard to be on this diet if you are a vegetarian. I live on chicken... Do you eat dairy products? I do have snacks, but only fresh...

Mum of one, I actually live in NY state, not NYC, but I do live in a suburb of NYC, so I am only about thirty minutes away. Just wanted to share that I made myself a delicious omelet for breakfast today. I sauteed onions and yellow pepper, with lots of spices, and made it into an omelet with...

Thanks everyone for the welcomes! I am sure I will get lots of valuable support and motivation here. :-)

Hey Mum of one, I am starting the GI diet today. :-) I have been on it a few other times, with enormous success. I love how I can eat whenever I am hungry, as long as I make correct food decisions. This diet is really about being motivated, because you can bend the rules a lot, but if you remain...

I'm with the others who say that I will shop in normal size clothing stores. As someone who has been overweight her entire life, I can't even remember shopping in the "regular" stores. I'm thinking of buying myself something big, like a new computer or a new iPod. I haven't really decided on...

I followed Rick Gallop's books once, for a few months, and did splendidly. Unfortunately, a change in my living arrangements meant a change in my food habits, and I gained all of the weight back. I am back on that diet, for I know it was the most livable one for me. Do you have specific...

Hi salski! I want you to know that your weight loss inspires me tons! And I am thrilled to hear about your experience with PCOS, as I have symptoms of PCOS too. I am only 21 years old, but I have type 2 diabetes, as well as PCOS, possible high blood pressure, and various other obesity related...

Hi, I am new here. :-) At a preliminary glance, this forum looks superb. I am here for motivation and inspiration, in the hopes that the diet I am starting as of today will be the one I really stick to. (It seems like this is a british forum, and I am american, but this looked like the most...
