Hi Everyone!
Hi everyone! I read your posts and I'd like to join your group, too! Where have you all been? There hasn't been a post since last week!
I have tried every diet under the sun. Atkins is too stringent for me, and I need to watch the fats because of high cholesterol. The low GI/GL diet sounds like the healthiest one of all. Everything I've read claims that this is the way to lose weight and be healthy.
I, too, have a family (husband and 16 yr. old son). I have to cook for them almost every night (what a pain!) but, like you, I have to make the meals interesting so they'll eat them! My husband lost 50 lbs last year (the starvation diet - mostly low carb and very low-cal - We've come to call his meals "mopey meals" because they were so joyless!) and my son could lose about 50 lbs. too.
I have to confess, right here and right now, in the last 4 months, I've gained 23 pounds. I've gained back all my weight plus 1 pound. (AAAGGGHHHH!) I weigh 231. I am determined to get this weight off. I feel like a blimp.
We bought an elliptical machine, so I have no excuse not to exercise. And my dog Cody, a Golden Retriever, looks at me longingly every morning to walk him (which I usually do).
I believe if we keep posting, that is a major force in sticking with the plan. Thank you all for being here.
