For some people soy milk is an "acquired" taste.

That's why I said, "recipes" instead of just chugging a glass. Substitute
it for milk in packaged or boxed side dishes and recipes. Once you’ve
acquired the taste you might be able to add it to cereal. As for drinking
it in a glass as a beverage, substitute water instead. That saves caloric
room for a martini or margarita.


I happen to like soy milk and can tolerate it better than cow's milk.
However, if I use it in something, my husband can figure it out right away.

book is a great help and I have a few LBS to lose (only about 12) so
it makes me mad to not keep going EVERYDAY! I have just one size down to
go and I'll be where I feel the best. Thanks for asking. My WOE is to
eat what i want but to stop when full. (before I'm quite full) I do try
and eat low lw carb veggies but not completely. I believe that eating
for life is my best way so I strive for good health. I try recipes that
look healthy and I try to cut out the desserts except for fruits.

How are you doing? I have always felt that you & I are a bit alike with
our WOE

Hi Glo. Sorry to hear about your mom and your aunt. I think we
both have the same sort of issues with losing and regaining weight,
but my WOE when I stick to it is a bit different from yours - I aim to
stay within 1500 calories and trying to eat healthy food, and foods
that satisfy me most.

My numbers have been going up and down for most of this year, but I'm
currently going down and feeling quite good about it all.

Take care of yourself.

Glad to hear from you, Glo.

Just remember those last few pounds are often the toughest to lose. Don't
get discouraged!

Thanks Rob, I'm aware of the issues with losing fat and not muscle, which
is why I do the Pilates and weights. I also don't dream of a flat stomach,
I'm just surprised that there is virtually *no* change.

I'll try to be patient a bit longer...

Perhaps there is a change.

It’s been a while but here are some signs of change I remember:

As men gain weight in the mid section they sort of keep the same waist
size pant by pushing the beltline down lower so the belly hangs over.
If your pants are moving back up to your waistline that’s a sign of
improvement.

Stronger abs also means resistance to tight waistlines and belts. When
the abs are buried under fat, tightening a belt puts a groove in the
midsection that looks rather silly. If the abs are strong, tightening
the belt applies pressure to the abs, but the abs do not “cave in” for
lack of a better term.

Maybe these will help you realize a change has already taken place. If
not, they should be the first signs of success.

I guess this applies to women too in some sense?

Maybe you're right. I have been wearing a lot of very tight pants that do
seem more comfortable of late. The tape measure doesn't quite agree
though. I am just glad I am feeling a lot more energetic, which helps a
lot to stay motivated.
