Guest guest Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Hi Becky,Congratulations and thanks for your post, it's very inspiring! Please share how you cut out dairy and got the cheese monkey off your back. That monkey is keeping me from vegan!

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 This is great news Becky and thank you for sharing what has been working for you and how you are feeling better. We all need to hear successes as well as support one another when we fall short of our goals, etc. Yay you!! :-) Cindi --- On Sat, 1/10/09, rebeccaolowe <rebeccaolowe wrote: rebeccaolowe <rebeccaolowe success Saturday, January 10, 2009, 9:52 AM I am also having some success after making some changes. I had been working out steadily three or four days per week since May. I got toned and my clothes fit better, but I didn't lose weight. I've now cut out dairy (I had a monkey on my back in the form of a cheese fixation), drink plenty of water and other than that I eat when I'm hungry (5 or 6 times per day, veggies, fruit, grains, beans, nuts, seeds). Also, instead of working out three or four days for an hour I work out four or five days for about 30-40 minutes. I've lost three pounds since I weighed myself on the first of January and I can feel my shape changing and I swear I can feel my metabolism revving up. My face looks thinner, my skin is clearer and I feel better. Another thing that may be helping - I started taking L-tryptophan a couple of weeks ago and I think it helps calm my food fixation. I tend to overeat at night when I'm not distracted by work, and I think eating until stuffed has a sedative effect on my mind and body. However, the L-tryptophan also has a mild sedative effect, and I think it's working, along with eliminating the animal fat. Sorry for the long post guys, but as you can see, I'm really excited about this! Take care and keep posting the good news, Becky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Where did you get the l-tryptophan? GNC? I have a similar night-time eating problem. I am super super busy all day and in the evening, I eat to fill a void and to keep my hands and mouth busy I would love to find something that can assist me and I don't want to use the man-made chemicals in items like Dexatrim.
