Howdy once again! Had enough of me yet?
I wanted to tell you all that my eldest daughter Abbie, (and her health nut husband) started this WOE last Friday. She is doing so very well. She had this down so fast, it amazed me. She did like so many of you, planning her meals and adding an additional starch or grain or veggie to it for her DH and boys. She's a confessed carbaholic and needs off the sugar. She's still b'feeding her one year old and will be done with that soon and know's she will pay dearly if she doesn't get the carbs out of her diet soon. She doesn't have many pounds to lose, just needs to get a grip on healthy eating. She went directly to the new boards listed on Dianes site and I sent her a quick "no no!" and redirected her back to the old LCF's boards to reread all our bazillion posts and recipes. After thinking about it I thought maybe we could invite her here? I know I can answer most all of her questions but you all do it so much better than I do! lol Would any of you mind?
I also have my sister and her BF out looking for the book today, they plan on starting very soon as well. He is a diabetic and has an appointment with a dietician soon and wants to take Dianes book with him to the first appointment. Neither one of them will go any where near a computer so I'll be their sole support system, makes me a little nervous, but I think I can handle it.
I see that most of you are planning on trying to stay on plan during the holidays, props to you all, I admire you so much for that!
Not me, I won't even try to fake myself out in thinking that I might. I will have at least 25 guests and everyone helps add to the meal, with me doing all the basics. Last year I took one to two tablespoons of each thing served and was very content. I plan on trying the same thing this year.
Laura, I love the FB idea, I didn't know they had private groups either. I think it would be a great way to share pictures and an alternate way to stay in touch. Once I found LCF's
I bailed on FB and only go there when one of my kids tell me I need to!
Robin I also wanted to tell you that I've been doing a lot of reading about this stubborn tummy thing we have going on. The general consensus seems to be that interval training is the most effective and targeting deep abdominal fat. You might want to address this with your trainer to get the timing down and see if it might help some?
Okay, it's great to be back! (((Great Big Hugs))) to everyone. I will make it a point to get back into addressing you all on a more personal level. I'm going to have to visit first thing or last thing like so many of you do, once things really settle back down here.
You all have a terrific rest of your day!
I moved furniture around today.
