South Beach Diet
I have had this same problem! I gain too much weight with each pregnancy, then when I finally get it off I have ended up prego again. HA. Well, it won't happen that way again. Anyhow, I did the South Beach Diet between my last 2 kids and lost 54 pounds in just a couple of months (a little over 4). I actually lost my weight in this area first. I am just starting it up again for the same reason, and because I know it works--I have done it before. The first 2 weeks are kind of hard to stick to (at least for me as all my teeth are sweet teeth), but it goes by fast actually and you won't believe when you step on the scale and each day your weight is down and you drop clothing sizes. Just typing this is enough motivation again for me to do it. I didn't exercise the last time and the weight just melted off, so I don't know about any exercises. Good luck to you! :)
South Beach Diet
When I did it the last time they only had the blue book out, now they have cookbooks too and the foods at the store so it will be even easier to stick to. I just bought a treadmill and am sad to say after 15 minutes I am dying! HA.
I have even seen the South Beach books on ebay for cheap. :)
get South Beach Diet book or see online..sm
the author is Dr. Arthur Agatston, cardiologist here in s. florida
Google South Beach Diet forum and you'll find a good board there for information. nm

I did South Beach also -
and lost the tummy area first. I was absolutely amazed how I was never hungry and didn't crave chips, ice cream and chocolate! I found it time consuming preparing the meals, but the results were worth it.
south beach d question
would someone tell me please a few examples of 'good' carbs and 'bad' carbs, and/or what causes them to be good or bad? Thanks.
South Beach sounds good - sm
I have actually bought some of the South Beach foods at the grocery store and really like them. Did you buy the book or what did you go by when you started South Beach? I don't have a treadmill anymore, but do have an elliptical machine...I wonder about that? Thanks for your information....
Other than Slim Fast has anyone had any luck with OTC diet products or diet pills? nm

Way down here now, but I'm GOING TO THE BEACH!
I have cooked for everyone one in my family and everyone in everyone else's family for the past 30 years (on the nose).
This year my daughter and I are heading east to the beach at a quaint motel with a handful of restaurants. I'm thinking stuffed shrimp this year instead of stuffed turkey!!
You have fun RadGuy!!
Yes! And a beach!
:)
Is there still one in Deerfield Beach?

Try Turtle Beach
Audio Advantage. Essentially it is an external sound card. Plugs into USB port and then your headphones plug into it. I have had one for about a year and cant live without it. My problem is so called "secret" dictators. A lot of my docs think their dictation is a secret or something and talk so low that I simply cannot hear them. The Turtle Beach does wonders for them. There are tons of options to play with that helps clear up noise too. One warning though, it will render your speakers useless and you only have sound through your headphones unless you uninstall it.
Me too!!! The beach is the most relaxing and best!!!
I absolutely love Florida for the same reason, the beach. I'm planning Aruba next year, I simply can't wait!
Myrtle Beach.
We stayed at the Royal Garden Resort through Dunes Realty (Dunes.com) and had a great time. It cost us about $800 for the week. It was right on the beach and was within driving distance of anything fun.
Hopes this help.
1.88 yesterday in Va Beach, Va.

cranky beach
I would have to agree with you on the tools. I was semi-retired for six years due to pain syndrome from what they are now calling "repetitive stress syndrome" MT itis is what I called it. LOL
$2.39 for regular in Boynton Beach, FL.

Anyone ever been to Flagler Beach, Florida?
I met my husband of 18 years at the beach.
I was 17 and a Junior in High School when I met the love of my life at the beach. It was wonderful - no alcohol involved and we didn't meet in a bar. We just celebrated our 18th anniversary November 14th, and have two children, a son 16 and a daughter 14.
Myrtle Beach! Nothing to be ashamed of! I would rather go there!!!nm

My friend got married on the beach...sm
They rented this beautiful place for a week for the wedding and the guests - a huge mansion-type place just for them.
They wore white....she wore flowing cotton white, he wore a white shirt and white shorts, they were barefoot (actually everyone was barefoot) with she wearing foot jewelry. These are not youngsters either (in their 50s) but a first marriage for my friend (she never found Mr. Right until she found Mr. Right - so happy for her - she deserves it and more). It was exquisite - everyone else was dressed neat-clean-casual - slacks on women, except for her sister who was Maid of Honor......but it was real casual with the finest of food and drinks :)
I think it's up to the people getting married - never let anyone dictate such a special occasion!!!
North Myrtle Beach
Having lived at Pawley's Island - this is some really pretty country. Get out of the car at the Myrtle Beach Sign in the middle of the highway for some photo ops. Also, for those of you traveling to North Myrtle Beach - please make a short trip (30 minutes with no traffic) down to Pawley's Island and see the Brookgreen Gardens and Hunnington Beach. There are also a lot of "real" little shops at Pawley's Island with real treasures to find - not cheap souvenier stuff. You can watch the weavers make the Original Pawley's Island Hammacks. I know that you are all probably going for either the beach or the golf, but beware that the sewage drains into the ocean up on the Grand Strand and there is usually a daily feces report - so if it is high - don't go into the water. I hope that ya'll have a great time. If you get the chance - try some Shrimp and Grits, frogmore stew and some of the other low country delicacies. You will have a blast. Remember hurricane insurance, too - in case one is headed that way and you don't want to lose your money on your flight and accommodations.
Does any one know one with a beach and breaker sounds?
Thanks for sharing. This is the first time I saw something like this.
I use a Turtle Beach device.
It plugs into the back of the computer and enhances the volume as well as the quality of sound. But I needed to get an extender from Radio Shack since it plugs in the back (but if you have any USB jacks in front, that would work too).

try a raw diet
First have your dog's liver enzymes checked, also the pancreas. Someone told me that toxins come out through the dogs ears, especially labs. Then, check into a raw diet for your lab. Believe it or not, chicken wings, chicken necks, or turkey necks - raw - and raw fruits and vegetables (no onions or grapes). My sister's lab has pancreas problems, his ears smelled awful, and the vet was no help. She checked out raw diets and her dog has been doing fine for the past two years. Her lab has the most beautiful white teeth, no smelly ears, very little gas, lost weight, and is happy. As a last resort, try BeanO. (PS, if you want to stick to a kibble food, try Flint River Ranch - that is what I feed my dog).
Okay! So much for my diet! I'm going to try it!
 Sounds yummy!
diet !
 Your way sounds a lot more appetitizing than the Healthy Choice dinners I am living on! SO boring, but I have lost 10 pounds in 10 days! Only 18 to go! And I too am walking 2-3 times a day which really seems to help. Once with the dog (he is pokey!) and then by myself so I can walk fast.
Diet
Funny you asked that because with my medical background, I know that what you eat can have a big influence on how you feel. I also have hypoglycemia so I should be eating well.
I honestly do not have an appetite. I didnt eat anything at all yesterday and the day before I ate 4 chicken nuggets from Wendys.
This morning I feel a little hungry so I will probably eat some rice and black beans. I have that and oatmeal. Its cheap and filling.
I used to eat like crazy... now I don't eat at all. I used to get sick when I felt kind of dizzy from not eating after a few hours. Now I've gotten used to the feeling and having really low blood sugar makes it hard for me to concentrate on one thing but I can't get food stamps because I don't have any kids or anything. All well... Anyway, that's what I've been eating.
Very nice, quiet, family beach
except for the biker bars (which are really kinda fun!). Small local market in the square on Friday. Nice beach, good restaurants, close to Daytona and St. Augustine if you are looking for more action.
A little cool for swimming IMHO, but with good weather it's nice to dig your toes in the replenished beach.
The beach, anywhere. Warm and sunny and lots of fun!
But, Niagara Falls is always beautiful no matter what time of year. It's actually cheaper to stay there in the winter than the summer.
You gotta pick anywhere where you can just focus on each other and let the world go on without your for a night, a couple days, a weekend, maybe a week (yeah right) whatever.
we've gone to Ocean City or VA Beach (sm)
We're looking to maybe going to Idlewild Park for 2-3 days (taking a long weekend) this year.
Look at Audio Advantage by Turtle Beach
It is a USB thing that looks like a flash drive and it bypasses the sound card. It has lots of settings to adjust to improve sound. I got it and didn't think it made much difference, but then didn't use it for a couple of days and realized that it did make a difference. I got mine at Best Buy for about $30. There have 3 different levels and I think Audio Advantage is the middle one (which was the only one they had at Best Buy). You can Google Audio Advantage by Turtle Beach and probably find their website.
Creative is a good brand of sound card and likely it isn't the sound card that is the problem, just poor quality dictation. The USB thing above will help, but if you don't have good dictation to work work, you can only do so much. If you don't have them also try noise-cancelling headphones. They are rather pricey, though can probably get a good pair for about $60 or less on sale, and they make a significant difference too.
Meat in your diet?
That is a misconception that we need meat in our diets, we do not need meat at all, there are many other sources of protein out there to substitute for the meat, please go to the many vegitarian sites for more information.
try a low sodium diet
When I was first diagnosed, I went on a strict 2 gm sodium diet. It is amazing how much salt is in foods. My ENT gave me a small booklet I could fit in my pocket to carry around with me to count sodium. It reduced the amount of fluid in my ears, which lessened the vertigo and the tinnitis. The shocking part was that I lost 20 pounds without trying! I never went hungry at all. I felt better than I had in years.
I have also found that keeping my sinuses clear helps with a lower level of tinnitis. Wine intensifies it 
good luck,
d~
I have never tried the diet, but I know lots who
have, including my DH. I have never known anyone to keep the weight off once they come off the diet. While there have been various studies as to healthiness/unhealthiness of the diet, I don't see how eating high fat foods came be healthy. I do know that the diet throws your body into a ketosis, which gives you terrible breath. When my DH was on the diet I asked him not to talk while in the car because his breath smelled so bad. He worked with a woman who said she wondered why people would back away from her when she talked.
I think low carb is a good idea, but I don't think high fat is a good idea. I'm not a nutritionist, just makes sense.
Diet Board please

How long have you been on the diet?
?
OTC diet pills
My daughter was able to lose about 10 pounds on Dexatrim - that is before they had to change the formula - our best results have been with Atkins for quick weight loss - 7-14 pounds in a week in our family. Lots of meat and cheese - and no cheating.
So does diet soda.
Just kidding
Anyone try Shangri-La Diet sm
Just wondering if anyone has heard of or tried the Shangri-La Diet.. and if so what did they think about it? Did you lose any weight? Just curious, need to lose that 20 pounds.. or so...
Anybody out there taken any of the new diet pills with
Just curious if any of these work or if they are a scam like most others. If anyone has taken any pills that work let me know. (I know they are not good for you)
Liquid Diet
My brother-in-law lost a lot of weight doing a liquid diet (not sure for how long, though), but he gained most of his weight back.
Myrtle Beach is a GREAT place for a vacation
Outer Banks, NC...Don't waste time on VA Beach
I live in Virginia Beach and there's not much to do here and definitely wouldn't recommend taking a vacation here. Unless of course you like rubbing elbows with all the tourists crowded on the boardwalk. We love going down to the Outer Banks. It's much more laid back there and you can claim your own little stretch of beach cuz it's not so crowded. The locals are much nicer there and you can rent a beach house for pretty cheap if you look around.
south where
Church retreats, bus tours. Casinos. (Tournaments for pinochle)....
where in the south are you?
some schools here started today, but mine started LAST Monday! It's kind of a relief, but I miss 'em already! Have a good first day of school! 
And here in the south we would say...
Bless your heart, in other words you don't know any better and I feel sorry for the venom you are spewing out. You must really be one angry person! You assume this and that about the job I am doing. I format no work, keep no records, no copies. There are a lot of people out there who read these posts and it seems like you have just called a whole host of them unprofessional with the term "any professional peers" not beubg worried about their jobs. I think most of the people worrying might object to that. Just go back under your rock and I hope things pick up for you. Again, bless your heart.
yeah, know that...this diet was only for four days...
no salt, etc. but it works. Called the "four day wonder diet." Could not, would not do this for more than that! Yukky, no flavor. But it kicks in the fat burning thing... Thanks for your support....Back to some "tasty" "live-it" foods! :)
cofee....diet pepsi...
