I guess I need to make it clear that this DOES WORK for me (LAWoman) it's just slow as hell. Which is sort of what we want right? The slower it comes off, the easier it will be to maintain right? You're right, at my weight it should be falling off, but it's not. I am honestly think I have a cavewoman's stomach in a modern body. I would have been one hell of a hot commodity in Paleo times!
And just out of curiosity, LA, do you really think I haven't tried other things? You name it, I've done it... outside of surgery. I was eating 1100 cals of low GI, jumping rope, and running daily at one point (at around 300lbs) because like I said, no one wants it more than me. And I'm willing to put in the work, it's just frustrating as hell with things aren't going as they "should". They just don't for me.
Thank you for the suggestions, Poanf. Interestingly enough, one of my favorite "snacks" is a spoon with half butter, and half peanut butter and I just have little nibbles at a time, and sort of let them melt together. MMm MMM! LOL I am also working on my exercise. I'm trying to walk for a half hour every second day on the treadmill, doing body weight exercises (push ups, calf raises, planks) a couple times a week, and fitting in an aquafit class where I can.
