Thanks, Roger for your nice comment. I so get the "eat till I am full" part. That is what pulled me into LDL in the first place. I had never been able to loose wieght before because I just so don't do hunger. Now, I never have to and I couldn't be more pleased and excited. That is saying a lot as I am coming up on eating the LDL way for a year! My start date was July 20, 2009.
My class starts this coming Friday on July 9th. I will email you my syllabus.
Once again, thanks so much for sharing this  WOE.
Hugs,
Bobbi

Bobbi, I understand what you are saying. When I was doing WW, I went to bed hungry many nights because I had run out of "points" for the day. I LOVE "LET'S DO LUNCH"!!!!

Have a very blessed day!!

Just want to share about my first LDL class Friday night! It was great. There were only 3 people there but have 3 more that will be attending via long distance. It's a great beginning.
I have created a 11 page study guide to go with the book. Mostly it is repeating things from the book that I think are very important. I don't think the "eat all you want whenever you are hungry, until you are full" can be repeated too much. It is just such a hard concept for us to wrap our minds around. Especially since we are eating so many foods that are so very delicious!!! No going hungry, no weighing, no measuring, no feeling deprived!!
All that said and I am down another 2#s to 156# No struggle, no trying, just eating wonderfully healthy good food.

Sorry, just can't help but go on and on about this woe. Which is amazing considering I have been eating this way for almost a year! My start date was July 20th 2009!
Thanks so much for all the support everyone.
hugs,
Bobbi

Great reading about your group class.  Are there classes all over the country?  How many?
Your anniversary is in 5 days!  You have done so well with this plan.  I hope I can say the same in a year!
I do love this WOE.  You are an inspiration.

tthso52...  There are no franchise classes around the country.  The classes spoken about on our boards are ones that LDL members have started on their own.  Crickadoodle and Joyful Friend conduct their classes at their respective churches.  A couple of other members have also led classes.  Others share LDL by word of mouth to co-workers, relatives, and friends.  I have even shared LDL with a stranger at my local grocery store!

Just got to share this one.
This last week end I went to Colorado Springs, Colorado to meet with my sister and a couple of cousins. The minute I walked into the motel room my sister exclaimed. "Wow, you've lost 30 more lbs!" I had to laugh, as I've only lost 9 lbs since I had seen her last. Anyway it sure made me feel good!
Know you can all relate to this one.

Ok, so lately I was dealing with cravings for ice cream!!! What was up with that, I thought? Then I examined what I was eating and drinking and realized I had been drinking a little bit of honey sweatened energy drink that is suppose to be good for you. Sure enough since I stopped drinking this drink, the cravings have gone away!!! I am so thankful I knew to look at my diet for why I was craving something.
Just love this woe......
