I have struggled to lose weight, but after starting writing down what food I eat, and what excercise I do per day, I noticed my rapid weight loss. I lost a total of 13 pounds so far, and I have only 5-10 lbs. left. After I lost all of that weight though, I stopped 'journaling'. When I did, my weight stopped dropping. So, after reading this, I WILL start it again! It may be hard in the beginning for some, but it wil pay off in the end. Trust me!!

The ONLY two sentences that I got in response to my queries were: "She is a CHIROPRACTOR" and "She was trained in Georgia"...... Nothing more, quel suprese!! No mention of her credentialing, no mention of her fellowships bestowed upon her, no medical schools mentioned, which to me raises the question "Do they mean the state of Georgia in the United States or Georgia, the republic in Russia?? Gee, to me, that's a LOT of red flags.....Seems as though "chiropractors" are able to be Gastroenterologists with ABSOLUTELY NO MEDICAL TRAINING OR EXPERTISE IN THAT FIELD, NOR ARE THEY QUALIFIED TO PRACTICE IN THAT AREA OF EXPERTISE. Would you let a "chiropractor" perform surgery, such as an appendectomy on you??

Once I lost the sugar craving (in one week), it was really easy. I was never hungry. Added to your exercise program, it won't take you long to lose 20 pounds and keep it off. To Sandy:

Like I'll lose 4 or 5 pounds and then all of asudden it's like I'll eat everything in sight. I get so upset. I get back on the diet the next day. I'm not tremendously overweight but would like to do something before I get any worse. I was fine till my Doctor told me I needed to gain 20 pounds because I have Osteoporosis and he said the calcium would not work without fat. I gained the 20 pounds. I didn't think about my leg being run over when I was a child. Lo and behold my leg started hurting around the clock. Went to my regular Dr. and she says "well you've gained 20 pounds, that is why your leg is hurting. Why did you gain weight?" So I told her and she immediately said, that I needed to lose the weight that she had never heard such a thing. Now I am trying to lose it and it is really difficult. I gained the weight 3 years ago and have lost half of it but still need to lose ten pounds. I do lift weights and do aerobics for the Osteoporosis. So exercise is not the problem. I think the problem is purely food. HELP ! ! ! ! If any of you out there have had the same problem tell me how you handled it so you could lose the weight. I think part of it could be emotional but I don't know how to break that cycle. Thanks so much I’m trying to figure out what makes me do crazy things.

Even the National Weight Control Registry with its members and their long-term success in losing weight and keeping it off have proven the effectiveness of food diaries. That's why I created "Drawing the Line on Calories, Carbs, and Fat." This "connect-the-dots" approach to tracking food is a very visual and graphic tool where users can see the "picture" of what they've eaten by simply drawing lines between dots. It removes a lot of the work involved with a food diary and is far more fun. The reason food diaries work so well is that they act as one's conscience.
