Re: i am new member
Congratulations!!!! You are doing so well, Mike. When I first started LDL, I knew my two biggest problems would be no milk and no bread. MY TWO FAVORITE THINGS.....or....were!!! But I'm amazed that I have not craved either one, and I honestly do not miss them. In fact, I'll probably have to throw out the remaining 1/2 loaf of bread that is still in my bread box. This way of eating continues to amaze me. Sooo many good things to eat....so I feel no deprivation. I'm still sticking to my resolve to not weigh until my 1-month anniversary which will be June 1. But I really have no desire to weigh....I'm afraid I will be disappointed with the results and at this point, that would be VERY DISCOURAGING. I can tell my pants are a little looser.....and my pajama bottoms almost fell off me this morning....LOL....so something must be going on. Anyway, just wanted to say you are an encouragement to me.
Blessings!
Beth M.

Re: i am new member
I loved drinking milk and eating milk products; however, have not missed them on LDL. I do take V-D and Calcium---very important to get the needed amounts. I have strong bones, so I want to continue with them. Gwen, we need a picture of the added feathers. Your red hat will be our envy. I have to remember not to covet!!! Joyful Friend

Re: i am new member
beth and gwen.
thanks...I am glad that I am helping in some way also. That is great that the clothes are getting looser...and I think waiting for the month to be over before weighing in...is the best way.
Tomorrow is my birthday..I am going to try and resist seeking out a birthday treat...although it is customary to have cake on b-day..but not this time..
unless its made of beans and corn...lol

You are absolutely correct -- it does get easier and knowing you can eat all the LDL foods you want until you are full makes this the best eating plan you have ever tried. I have been a yo-yo dieter for over 59 years and I love this way of eating and all the support I could wish for. Wishing you good food, good friends, and good health!

Re: i am new member
Mike,It sounds like you are on the right track.There is a lot of soup and other recipes on here and my favorite is taco soup and pizza soup and eat until you are full. I have lost 24 lbs in 1 month and 1 week. amazing. Good luck

Re: i am new member
Hi Gwen and everyone..
I was away for several days...and my ldl was altered a little..I maintained...but lost nothing more. I am distraught about the oil spill and that it cannot be stopped. I mentioned in one of my earlier posts that I am involved with green technologies. Engines that use no oil, and are able to run all on fuels...including algaes, etc.
It is so hard to get the word out..and it frustrates me...as we are literally killing ourselves relying on big oil....and that really is hard to digest.
Anyway...I am kind of in mourning as our beaches become oily, our wildlife is in severe danger...and feel helpless.
Sorry to blog so negative today...mike
Hope you are all doing well....and I appreciate all of you

Re: i am new member
I hear you Mike. Having been through a grievous process recently, I know first hand how hard it is to stay on track when your mind and emotions are in turmoil. But please don't let your worry deter you from "keeping on keeping on" your Let's Do Lunch progress. Remember, the healthier you are, the more effective you will be in facing the challenges ahead. . .

Re: i am new member
I need to take my own advice. I'm stuck in a rut with some monumental tasks hanging over me. I'm feeling overwhelmed and it's making me want to eat at all the wrong times, from avoidance, I suppose. They say it's all part of the grieving process, but I'm tired of feeling out of control.
Hope you're feeling better today.

Re: i am new member
Isn't it funny when you think you know what you are eating but actually you don't know the half of it.
