Let's Do Lunch Community

Hi Everyone  I'm Julie from Central Ga... I just picked up a copy of the older Let's Do Lunch book and am reading it.  A friend told me about this and I have been looking at many of the posts and all the success and joy on this board.  I'm very excited to start this new journey and getting to know all of you...

Hi Julie,

Welcome aboard!!!  My husband and I just LOVE this way of eating - and losing weight!!!  He just wanted to lose the 15 pounds he gained since he retired.  He's almost there!!!  Well, I have lots more to lose, but today I hit my first quarter!!!!  I want to lose 72 pounds, and just today, I checked and was down 18.4 pounds!!!  I'm a quarter the way there and maybe half way by Christmas!!!

Think baby steps.  I divided my goal into fourths.  That way, I get to celebrate more often!!!

Best of luck to you!!!

Welcome JulieinGA, You'll definitely like this program and have more friends that you could ever imagine.

Marga,

That's a very good idea. Setting smaller goals makes it much easier to succeed at anything.

By not setting smaller goals we will often activate the amygdala in our brain. It's the brain center that controls our emotions, therefore, we fail because we tend to start craving comfort food to counteract it and turn it off.

I was so excited when I saw the article about it in the September issue of First Magazine. I've read about it before and knew it worked. Now more people will know about it, too.

Welcome to LDL, This is a great place to be.  It is so easy once you have stocked your house with LDL foods.

Oh yeah another Julie!

A BIG Howdy back at you and welcome aboard!

Blessings,
Julie (the LovinLDL or "ya'll" one)

LovinLDL,

Looks like the Julies are going to catch up with the Vickis.

Welcome on board the train to Skinnytown
You will like it here.  The support team is great.  RT will tell you to read chapters 2-6 at least 3 times to get the whole concept of the program.  As you stick to it the pounds just keep dropping.  I am in week 18 and have dropped 31 pounds.  For some reason the more you eat the more you lose.  IT is Amazing.
CL    keep posting.

I see we have another passenger for the train to Skinnytown....Welcome Julie, you are going to love this trip.....just remember to eat those beans,to me they are the key  to making LDL successful.....glad you are here

Hello!!!!  I am a new person too!!!!  Maybe we can "work" together!

Thank you so much for the warm welcome everyone.. I'm feelin the love already... I"m very excited about this journey.. now off to read some more of the book.

Howdy Do to you too Julie!

So happy you are with us!  Please use Roger's tip when you first start, and before you go grocery shopping, to go through your cupboards and refrigerator and throw out (or give away) any food that is not LDL approved.  I did this and it really helped me start off on the right foot.  I must say though it was really hard giving away my new package of chocolate chips  .

Welcome Julie- We look forward to hearing from you as you progress on your journey to health.  This is the place to be; you'll love it.  Pam

We really do have our fair share of Julies.    Welcome!  The more the merrier.  You should love this new way of eating.  I've never found anything work so well for me before.  Hope your experience goes the same.

Welcome Julie and Michelle,

This is so great!! You will love it here 
Best of luck
Terri

Welcome!  Someone tally up the Julies and the Vickies, please! 

Julie, you are going to love LDL and the people in this absolutely wonderful community!

Hope to hear more about your progress soon. (And it will be soon - KNOW that!)

MM - Yes, I agree; reach all the smaller goals and the big one will take care of itself!
