Oh I love Dressbarn too. My immediate "problem" is trying to find summer slacks for the cruise....no one has them out this time of year and I look like I am wearing someone elses clothes!
Dr.Phil was touting 17 day diet again yesterday...guess I'll go have some green tea, now that the sour dough bread is finally gone.

I bought a pair of light kacki pants there....those are summery.
they have a petite section since you are short you probably would shop on that side. they also have left over summer clothes from last year on the super clearance racks if you can stomach going thru all of the clothes. bizi

Jeff can attest that I have been dealing with acne and hope that this diet will clear things up for me. It is about correcting the acid base balance and decreasing the inflamation process. HOpe they will arrive in a week or 2. I hate my skin!!!! If this doesn't work then I am going to a dermatologist! bizi

I calorie count every day. It's a huge reason, I think, for my success in losing weight. I use the SparkPeople website. It's free, has a Food Tracker, and lots of other useful things.
I think that, in the past, I was actually eating too little, rather than too much. It seems most natural for me to eat in the 1000-1300 calorie range. About how to cook. I'm not much of a recipe person. The changes I've made in cooking include: - Although I cook carbs for my husband sometimes, I avoid simple carbs for myself (the "whites", such as white flour, white bread, pasta/macaroni, white rice, potatoes, sugar, baked goods; also corn). I do start most mornings with oatmeal and blueberries though. - I mostly cook fairly much the same as before, so my husband doesn't have to change his eating. I just eat differently.

hi faith
thanks for posting what has worked for you. I lost weight when I counted calories...I was eating just like you...then the holidays came and my sweet tooth reappeared! oh the cookies and chocolates.....and I put on a few pounds....I recieved the cook book on the diet. It is very restrictive. I didnot realize it was no dairy! I don't know if I can do that, no grains, no legumes either. not even green beans or peanuts! no soy too. this is a very restrictive diet. shakes head.... bizi

I'm not actually following any diet, exactly. Using some SOUTH BEACH diet concepts, some IsaLean meal replacement shakes, and, doing some calorie cycling. ~ Faith

the paleo diet.
cavemans diet. no dairy, grains, legumes, soy... only lean meats, mostly vegatables, fruits, nuts and seeds and olive oil. I don't think I can follow that diet bizi this diet is supposed to help clear up my acne.

I'm reading the book "Carb Lovers Diet" and it's really eye-opening! It makes perfect sense and isn't restrictive at all. In fact, it's the most balanced eating plan I've seen. It talks about resistant starch and how it can help you weight and keep it off. Here's a link:
http://www.carblovers.com/health/carblovers/index.jsp I lost weight eating low-carb but it's hard to eat that way all the time. This diet (I hate the word "diet".....I try to use "eating plan") doesn't tell you to go wild and eat all the carbs you want. It includes whole grains, fat, fruit (bananas are magic), veggies, nuts, and dairy. The only thing it doesn't include is refined sugar and artificial sweetners. There's menus and recipes and even a list of prepared foods that are diet-friendly and don't have alot of sodium and fat. If you can find this book at your library it's well worth taking a look at. I put it on my home-delivery list and I have it for 45 days. I'll probably read it twice!
