My daughter reminded me that I had both my preteen and teenage daughter view this a while back. Funny how the Lord uses our children! Now, if I could only find that software that lengthens your neck without distorting the picture....think it would work for my tummy?
Lovin LDL, Julie

are you my long lost sister???
Could be!!! I have two sisters now, but I could squeeze in another one. I am the oldest and when I pull rank on them, they try to gang up on me (AS IF). So, I could use another sister in my camp to even up the odds. Trish

Hi, my name is Anita and this is my 5th day on LDL. I, also, have tried many diets and am bigger than I have ever been. I have been praying about this for a while now. I don't go out much and especially don't see people I used to know because I don't want them to see me like this. I quit smoking about 9 months ago (another prayer). Now I am ready to tackle this weight thing. I saw Roger on a Christian TV talk show I had never seen before or since. I am hoping that this is God's answer to my prayer. I need to lose about 50 pounds. I do not weigh because it is too depressing. I am trying to go by how my clothes look and feel on me. It is very depressing to try a new diet and fail because you get so hungry. So far, I have not been that hungry on this way of eating. How long before you start noticing a difference?
Hello Anita and welcome to LDL. You'll be amazed at how quickly you can feel the difference with clothing. You'll also be amazed at the support on this site. Congratulations on quitting smoking.
Congratulation to you and your grandson, Su. What a cutie! Is he your first?

This is thankful from Texas. About 6 months ago, I think, viewed Troy on a Tv show and ordered book. Touched my heart and have been on the program since. 40 lbs less and have less of an addiction to food, also God has sent a friend to do this with. We meet now once a week and have a confidential diary we record our weight and discuss our week. The support really helps.N\ Spent a week in Hawaii with my son, he eats all organic and we exercised everyday with TaiChi, we ate fresh sea food and organic rice every day with organ greens, had a fruit smoothie am, lost about 20 lbs. in a month. So when I saw that Rice is not a trigger to gain, I am so thankful. Have been buying HEB Brown & Wild Blend, I think it is from the Hemalayans, yet it also has California on the package. Live in a small town in Texas and do not always have access to Natural Food Store in City. Also, Kashi has dry Cereal's all organic with evaporated cane juice, would this trigger weight gain and over eating. Blessings Troy and love all the recipes. Blessings to all and all green lights. Sharon in Texas
Welcome Sharon, Great job on your progress! From the posts I've read on the rice, I think it really depends on the type. I'm going to look for the type you listed from HEB. Speaking of HEB and small towns...we are just moving to the Kerrville/Fredericksburg area. Wouldn't happen to be around there?
I'd like to add my welcome, also! Anita, as far as how long it takes - it's really an individual thing. There are some people that lose a lot right from the very beginning and some that don't lose anything for a month or more, but then start losing very steadily. I tend to lose slowly, but it DOES come off... and the best part, as you said - you're never hungry!
As Jeanne said, you'll love the boards and the support from all of the wonderful people here. It's like a big group hug every time you log on!

[ Eat Until You Are Full, whenever you are hungry, no matter how often that is and no matter how many calories are consumed]
That confuses me because I thought you were not supposed to eat between meals. I really haven't needed to but sometimes I get very hungry close to the time for my next meal.
Maybe I can clarify it. In the beginning of doing L.D.L, it's important to eat as often as you can and as much as you want UNTIL YOU ARE FULL (not STUFFED). You'll see - once you start eating as much as you want, when you want, you’ll soon find you’ll be too full for cravings.
As time goes on, your stomach will shrink, the cravings will subside, it’s at this point when you should NOT SNACK IN BETWEEN MEALS. This way it stops the “grazing” mentality many of us are victims of. We eat for no reason but TO EAT.
However, if you do find yourself legitimately hungry (either during the day or night time), then eat fresh fruit, allowed vegetables, popcorn. You never want to “starve” yourself. If you do, you’ll “fall off the wagon”.
Hope this helped.
