jencita,

If you're worried about wasting food such as rice...then you might want to do what I do when I order Chinese....save it for DH. My husband's not doing LDL completely and loves rice with his fried eggs for breakfast. That way I don't cheat and he's happy until he makes the decision to do LDL 100%.

CQ...I am severely allergic to shrimp, probably the iodine, but I noticed you said not to take the Krill Omega 3. I bought a bottle and I was just a few days away from starting it..(been finishing up my other Omega 3's) I'm so glad I saw your post. Can you tell my why I shouldn't take it? I would absolutely hate to have an allergic reaction to it. Lisa

Irainbow2006,

Krill oil comes from Krill...a crustacean very similar to shrimp. That's why you want to avoid Krill oil if you're allergic to shellfish/iodine.

The following website tells about them.

Thanks CQ...
You would think there would be some kind of warning on the bottle (unless I just missed it). I had no idea Krill were a type of shellfish...that could've been an unpleasant experience at the very least. Lisa

Thanks for the information CQ!
Still tempted to go off everyday. I did okay yesterday for the most part but ended up going to a different restaurant and got chinese food which I know is not the best. Just got the kids shamrock shakes at McD's - oh so hard to resist but I resisted.
Breakfast: banana
lunch: chipotle leftovers
dinner: apple, salad

Jencita, sorry you are having such a hard time. It didn't come easy for me either and still isn't. But you just have to want to loose it more than keeping that fat on. I know that's easy said, but it does take work with a lot of us. Some seem to have it eaiser. Just keep on giving yourself a pep talk and you will get through it. Good Luck! *hug*

Thanks Wither. Just not sure why this has been so difficult. I definitely have the mindset. More so now than ever. I am determined!

Breakfast: refried beans and eggs
lunch: nectarine, apple, banana
dinner: salad with chicken and beans
snack: popcorn if hungry

Jencita, hang in there! If you hadn't been trying LDL you wouldn't be where you are today, that is losing the weight you have, maintaining and working to lose more. I didn't even mention the improved health and that you are leading others to improve their lives as well. So from this view it is all good! *hug*

Jencita, just keep on no matter what and you will see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am pulling for you. What helped me a lot was when I got hungery was go to the boards and read others success stories. I am still not at goal and I started Jan 2nd 2010. Cameron my good friend started the same time. and we did not even know each other. We have supported each other. That has been a great help to me. You will make it no doubt.

I bet you could use a little California weather about now. It is nice and sunny in Escondido.
