Hey there Pgh-gal...i'm sorry to be JUST now seeing that you're here...or ~are you still?? I'd be very sad to think i'd missed being able to commiserate w/a homie! I go by burgh_grl myself, so You're NOT alone hun
ohhhhh, there it is, a bit o the burgh lingo for ya!
So glad you found this way of life...i have complete faith that this is the BEST way to go. Right now, i've been doing MM for (now 7 days) to try to lose 15 pounds or so( I know this program really well, but ...darn...i'm really struggling. It is NOT moving. (the scale) I suppose, i should reeeealy start a journal, like it seems everyone has done...perhaps other's who have done well could give me some input? In this life, I've lost 80 pounds...many years back. This 15 is seemingly alot of emotional eating, plus menopause really kickin in...i'm 54. I have MS, so I'm eating a super low fat diet anyway, to manage IT, and it's been hugely successful. What I can do, exercize wise, is limited...sooooo I'm depending on diet, to take it down. I just want to wear the clothes that I HAVE...that used to fit!
Lets see...you're doing MWL right? OR...straight program? For me...Mary's mini has helped greatly in reducing cravings...but I havent really challenged myself in restaurants- yet. Trying to just take these ten days as a stay in, focus, do what i need to do time.
If i can help you, or if you'd just like to exchange some info....fire away! What area of burgh are you from? I last lived in Dormont as a child, then the Moon twnshp area.
Have a GREAT day...ohhh, i miss the burgh. Im in Orlando now. Do NOT love it...at all...but...whadda ya gonna do eh?
at least we do get some GREAT produce
