... I
currently take 1.25 mg Synthyroid daily (for hypothyroidism).
I am here to tell you that with Anne's diet information
and the support you will receive on this forum, weight loss
is not only possible, but easily obtainable. I am happy
to report a 31 pound loss in 3 months.
I'm on
the GI plan... down another three pounds this week for a
grand total of 42 pounds... and the doc took me off my meds!
I owe it all to you guys, the support here is awesome.
Anne
I have been on the low glycemic diet for high blood glucose
readings. I have lost from 176 pounds to 168 pounds this
morning, so I feel like it has been successful. Thank you
so much! This has been to only place I have been able to
get a menu plan with enough detail that I could follow it
without spending a massive amount of time planning....
Anne
Well, this is my fourth week on the low glycemic diet and
I lost 4 pounds this week. That's a total of 12 pounds and
I actually feel better. I went to the doctor last week and
she reduced my insulin dosages, which is terrific...
Last week
I thought I was plain lucky - I lost 2 pounds despite a
huge fight (and binge) at home mid-week. This week I'm down
3 pounds (low-GI diet) and feeling ten times better. Maybe
I'll have another disaster next week, but right now I'm
flying!!
Well,
I am down another 5 for the week. This is amazing to me
as I haven't been 180 in well over 2 years now, so I'm feeling
really good about this. I love the low-GI diet...
Hello
Anne, I want to tell you about how am I doing with my "Low-Glycemic
Diet", so far I have lost 23 pounds and I'm on my 5th
week. My sugar levels are very good I even had to lower
the dosage on my insulin.
I am down
to 166 (down 5 pounds!!!) on the Low GI diet. I am so motivated.
My husband has noticed too!
Anne,
your GI plan is totally ace. My blood sugar is much better,
I feel better and I'm down another 2 pounds. Can't quite
believe I can eat so much and still lose.
I did
not know that such results were even possible. Following
your Low-GI Diet for three months, and walking for just
30 minutes, three times a week on the treadmill has lowered
my blood sugar levels to normal and I am already fitting
into my clothes so much better. I am truly amazed...
My problem
has always been motivation, and your motivation tips gave
me a number of "light-bulb moments". I read, I
laughed, I cried! I recognised myself in so many of your
stories. I have used your Low-GI Diet for 3 weeks and never
once felt like cheating. If you knew me, Anne, you would
know that this is nothing short of a miracle. I don't know
how to thank you....
Yep, been
there done that too! After quitting the South Beach diet,
I gained all of the weight back AND more! Since I've been
on Anne's diets (mostly the low glycemic), I have gone off
quite a few times, but the good news is that I haven't gained
the weight back AT ALL!!!!!! Now that's what I call a great
diet for life!
Down to
165 pds......total weight loss 15 pounds in 6 weeks. I am
so thrilled. This is the first time in a long time I have
managed to stick to a diet long enough to lose this much.
I am starting to feel more and more like the Low GI eating
habits are a way of life not just a diet which is where
I want to be.
Yeah,
3 pounds this week. Yeah me! Blood sugars are really good
and I haven't had a single craving this week. I think this
really is becoming a way of life and I don't notice being
on a "diet" anymore. Wouldn't that be lovely!
I can't see myself changing from this GI way of eating.
This week,
I had a loss of 2.5 pounds! I am thrilled, especially because
its my TOM and I still lost! Normally I gain at this time
of the month. Do you think this is because of the sort of
food I'm eating on the Low GI diet Anne? I normally have
really bad sugar cravings before my TOM but this week no
problem!!
Down a
pound and a half. Whoopee!! That's 22 gone!! My exercise
was a little lax only walking 3 times this week. I have
to share the good news. Everyone at work just laughs when
I say this because I get so happy about it but I got into
jeans...you know the ones with zippers and no stretchies
in the back. Sure feels good!!!! Can't remember last time
but it was certainly 4 years ago. This GI diet is really
working for me.
lost 4
pounds this week. After being on my TOM last week which
for the first time ever, I only gained 1 pound instead of
5, I came to average 2 pounds a week for the last 3 weeks.
This program really works and I really think I've found
the right way for me to eat with the Low GI diet! Thanks
Anne.This plan is the only thing that has helped me lose
in 15 years.
Well I
am finally going back in the right direction! I am down
3.5 pounds for 191 pounds. The Lower GI Diet is awesome!
I am not having the cravings and I am amazed by my energy!
I am going to stay on course this week, because I would
realy like like to try and make my first goal of breaking
190... This diet is amazing - thanks Anne! And thank you
to every one who was so helpful and supportive to me again
as I was spinning my wheels! It was so appreciated!
I started
Wednesday at 242 and I'm currently at 236. 6 pounds-Yeah!
Thanks to Anne, thanks to the "Low-Glycemic Diet",
to all of you great people who have given me a lot of motivation,
and myself for being determined (for 6 days) to change my
lifestyle. Thanks everyone. For the first time in a long
time I really feel I can do this.
Thank
you for your response, very quick as usual. If businesses
had the same service and commitment that you do, it would
be much closer to a perfect world! I started the low-glycemic
on Monday, which I must say I like even more than the low-carb.
Especially the cereal and oatmeal and granola bars!! Thanks
again,
Dear Anne,
Hello friend. Thanks for all you do and for your terrific
website and service. You were right, the Low-Glycemic diet
is working really well and my blood sugars have been more
stable than ever befoe. I have been really amazed and impressed
by how well this diet lines up with all the "current"
dietary studies. It's really a healthy way to go. Thanks
for your help.
Hey, Anne!!!
This morning I weigh 135 pounds. Last week I lost 2, this
week, 3 more. My goal is 120, that is, if I feel good at
that weight, and I think I will. Thanks for the yummy menus
on the "GI" diet, that makes it much easier.
This week
my weight loss brings me down to 181...a total loss of 4
pounds since starting the Low GI diet. So far I really have
never felt hungry. I am following the diet EXACTLY as printed
with not too many changes.I am monitoring my blood glucose
reading {just starting this}and it's Improving. I read some
of the other members posts and they constantly remind me
of many of the same problems I am having. Good luck to everyone.
Down 2
pounds this week. Changed to Low GI diet and find it much
easier and more suited to me than low carb. Found my motivation
going this week and reread the "Time to refocus"
reasons I gave and I was back on track! This would normally
be where I would have given up dieting for a couple weeks
but now I'm still on track. Thanks Anne.
Thanks
Anne. Felt so good when I stayed on track at a point where
I would have given up before. Another hurdle passed. I'm
finding the Low-Glycemic Diet so much easier than dieting
I've done in the past ... and I've done a lot of it . Also
finding it much easier to recover from a 'bad' day using
the motivation tips. Thanks again.
Hi there
- I'm on the low GI too and am finding it really good at
stopping me from feeling hungry. I substituted a few things
in the first week just like you have but it didn't seem
to matter as long as I was sensible and stuck to the principles
- and I lost 5 pounds. It's good that the diet often says
fresh or frozen too. The fish is really expensive here in
the UK, don't know what it's like in the US but I'm hanging
in there - and enjoying it.
Well I
am really surprised! TOM is this week and I'm down 3 pounds
to 192! YAHOO! That's a first for me to lose at this time...it
is almost always a gain for me! Keep up the great work all!
It's great to see all of the people who are here and getting
starting. For all of you "foodies" like me, it
is very simple, (when I follow it too lol). Anne Collins
program is like a recipe. If we add or subtract from the
recipe, it really messes it up and makes it turn our wrong
and us heavier or un-healthy! BUT, also like a recipe, if
we follow the directions, it turns out this great delight
(us).
just wanted
to weigh in this week my husband and i started this diet
2 wks ago. i started at 234.5 pounds and he started at 237
pounds we currently weigh in at 227.5 for me and 232 for
him which is a loss of 5 pounds for him and 7 pounds for
me. It feels great.
Despite
the fact that last week was my TOM, and this weekend was
my birthday, and I wasn't good at all, I am down another
4 pounds!!
