Thank you, that is a great idea. :-)

Back to down 10, at last. Hope to keep on going this time....

You can do it! There is a ton of support and knowledge on these forums and millions who have been in the same place as you.

I have now lost 20 lbs. I am mainly sticking to the Zone Diet, but I am also eating no sugar whatsoever (except in raw and cooked fruit) and no other sweeteners.


Thanks, Zone! I still have quite a few pounds to go, but so far so good.....

Congrats, Mary! Good to hear from you.

Thank, Sue.

Gave a shout-out to The Zone on my blog today. Should I like to this site or the book?

Hi Mary, your choice. I usually send people to this site. :)

Mary, it's amazing what a person can accomplish when they put their mind to it and take things step by step, isn't it? Keep up the good job. :)

Everyone, go read Mary's blog!

Will do. Thanks for stopping by over there, Sue -- as I said on my blog, you've been a major inspiration to me since I first found these boards -- five or so years ago.

And thank you, for the kind words. :) For you next Zone read, I suggest BArry Sears' most recent book, "Toxic Fat". It explains why your dietary changes have helped so much in other areas in addition to your weight loss. The Zone's really all about lowering inflammation and changing the expression of your genes. "Toxic Fat" explains the evolution of the Zone and gives the bigger picture. It's an eyeopening book.

Hi, I am back too. I haven't posted for long but I haven't left the Zone. You know what, once i was wondering what you referred to when you mesure food using cups. Now I have them too!! My cousins went to Florida and bought me a series of them. I hope I have the right ones as I am trying to mesure using them.
