"Never give up just because of the length of time it will take to accomplish your goal...The time will pass anyway."

I too like Dr. Oz...maybe because of the way he talks and makes you feel like he is on the same level as you...and maybe it's because he is a "medical Dr."   Not too bad on the eyes either. 

But 275g carbs?  I know that is insane.  He knows that is insane!  Come on!  There is NO WAY Dr. Oz eats that many carbs.... Look at him.. NO WAY

I am a a true example of how Carbs make you FAT.  After reading Doug's book and dropping 47lbs in less than 5 months, I know that carbs are killing us...that is why when you walk through the mall, or are at a restaurant, and you look around...the majority of people are overweight in this country. 

I did WW, NS, and every diet out there (including the imfamous water/apple diet my daughter introduced to me)    The only thing that worked for me was controlling my sugar.   Which I did for a long time with successful results. 

But remember, sugar is addictive and as any addict...I went back to the drug when I felt I could "handle it."  I quickly learned that sugar had a hold on me AGAIN!  It didn't take long for me put those pounds back on. 

However, the thought of even trying to eat 275g carbs per day is insane.  He should be ashamed of himself...there is no way he is eating that many carbs. 

Just my opinion...
Theresa (looking forward to sugar detox again...honestly)


 

Thanks.

Maddiesmom, you look fantastic.  Love the new picture.  

Thanks for the warm welcomes.  I do know what to do and I know it works...I'm in good hands!

Alex,
So happy to hear Savannah is feeling better. 
When my son was 4 he shoved a bead up his nose.  They had to use the alligator grabby-things to get it out in the hospital emergency room cuz I took  him there in a panic...looking back, there was nothing to panic about...they pulled it out and we all laughed because it was one of those beads with letters stamped on them (for making bracelets)...and it had a "J" on it...his name is Jonathan!  Well, we were all sure he knew his alphabet!
He is now 13, and has no memory of it. 

Funny little buggers!

 

Thanks from Boston Tony!

I did too, Tony.  For a long time, too.  But I never went back. I am very proud of myself being able to kick that habit.   I don't think about it hardly at all anymore, even when others are smoking.   Thinking about smoking was good enough for me...and remembering  what I liked about it. 

It is funny, the habit is so gross...but I liked it.  Weird. 

I also like that I didn't turn into one of those crazy fanatic ex-smokers.  I get the habit and understand why it is so hard to quit.  I'm just glad it doesn't plague me anymore!

Theresa

Tony,
Congrats on being smoke free....
I never thought I would be smoke free... I just loved them...
I don't know how it happened, but I just stopped.  I have been smoke free for 15 years! 
I love that my body doesn't crave it anymore....
I am still working on the sugar, though...
