Lots of GREAT weight loss tips here!!!  Thank you to everyone who contributed.

I've been considering buying Dr. Phil's book, "The 20/20 Diet."  Has anyone bought it?  Tried the diet?  I'm interested in the results people have achieved following this diet.

I am back on my health kick. I have been down with bronchitis and have gained about 8 pounds over the summer. My husband and I are walking 2-4 miles a day and am eating a lean protein and veggies for dinner every night and the weight is already coming down. I had quit walking because of the heat...now that it has cooled down about 10-15 degrees am back at exercising...it comes off fairly quickly along with sticking to a lean protein and veggies for dinner. I eat yogurt with chopped walnuts mixed in for lunch.

Good luck...hope you find a good method that will works for you.

Oh and Saturday is my cheat day...I have to have a cheat day to stay on my diet.

@spent2much,

Aw, you just warmed my heart. Your sig line was my late hubby's favorite verse. It was just like I felt his hand on my shoulder just now.

When I broke my foot, I gained about 10 pounds.  I was just sitting there with a stupid cast on for 6 weeks.  I was so disgusted with myself.  Taking a shower was my only physical activity.   LOL

I'm glad you're feeling better and able to get outside and walk.  Plus, you have a walking buddy!!!

Yes...a little begrudgingly but in his line of work it helps him so he goes along. lol I broke my foot a few years back and it was even hard to shower...had to wrap my cast each time...I get how you felt brii.
