Just Cruisen'

WOW! And I thought I was pushing it to loose that much by June 2!!! LOL!! Good Luck!! Let's make it happen!!:)

BellyButton, I haven't started the diet yet. I'm still worried about the carbs since I had been on Atkins. I am mostly (just started) eating the protein and veggies and every 3 hours. It is good to know you can look forward to something else to eat in 3 hours. I need to read the book through before I can give any pointers since I don't know any more then what you said. The books I have are 3 of his exercise books and then just the little pocket 3 hour diet book. I did see Jorge on the morning show one morning. He was teaching Al Roker how to eat out at fast food places and still stay within your limit. He was doing breakfast at McDonald's the day I watched and he took the egg mcmuffin and coffee. He said no juice. Al asked about the pancakes and Jorge said you can only eat half of them and half the syrup. Actually low caloric syrup would be better. I really think itseems like a good diet becausse it includes all the food groups and teaches you not to be a pig (like me) and to keep your metabolism up through eatring every 3 hours and exercise. Are you doing any of his exercise books? I know 3 people that are doing the first one over and over, They like it. I don't like doing the exercises first thing in the morning because I like to have coffee with my husband before he leaves for work. Right now I'm doing treadmill and WOW so it's hard to work more in, but I definitely think they help! Some of them are super easy but the ab one is hard for me and I did injure my back trying to do them. Let me know how you do!! Good Luck!! Are you cruisen?

Thanks Nliedel!! I am going to do 20 minutes cardio at least 2X a day. I do WOW work out 3-4 times a week. I think I will start back on J.C.'s flat belly book for tummy exercises and do the ones that I can. They were helping until I hurt my back. My ab's are gone I think!! LOL!! Mostly I do work out alone because I live 30 miles from our nearest town where I go for WOW. I have a treadmill and a stationary bike. I need to start on the bike again too. Like I said, it's hard to find the time but by gosh, I am going to do it!! Thanks for cheerleading!!! I went clothes shopping today and there's nothing like trying on clothes in front of those big mirrors to get you in the mood!!!:eek:

Oh my! You both have some good points!! I am 58, weigh175 and am 5'5 1/2"" I would love to get to 150 by June for our cruise. I will take all this into consideration. Thank you so much for all the info!! It does help. I only do 20 minutes of cardio right now but can see I need to up that!! Finding the time for all this is hard!! But, I will do it!!:)

Congratulations!! You are an inspiration to all of us!! Now I just have to get started!! I did join an exercise club called "WOW", workout women. I have to travel 60 miles round trip since I live way out in the country, but I go 3-4 times a week. I've went 3 weeks now and I love it!! Now, I just need to add the diet to it!! Knowing you lost so much will help me to get started!! I'd like to loose 40-50lbs.

Hugh?? Did you read the posts above before you posted? We were talking about the Jorge Cruise 3 hour diet. It is nothing like the Atkins diet. It is a small amount of meat, lots of veggies, and small amouint of carbs. You can also have fruit at breakfast. You just eat a snack mid morning and afternoon. You can have a peanut butter cup in the evening. It's much more varied then the Atkins, which I've been on too.

Just adding e-mail notification!! Thanks Blue Waters!!

So glad the diet is working for you!! I had been on the Atkins too and lost 20 lls. and after a year went off. My husband cheated all the time and he lost 20 also. I know I was just getting too many calories. I also ended up with acid refluxe from too much fat!!(Fatty acid) Now, I'm just starting to exercise and eat a lot less and watch bad carbs. What I'm doing is similar to the JC diet. I eat a low fat cheese stick mid- morning and a yogurt or veggies in the afternoon. For me , just staying busy and getting out seems to help. I use food as my campinion as my husband is gone everyday and home around 7pm Then he's on the computer working!!

I did gain 5 lbs. back when I went off Atkins and started adding carbs. Boy, that cereal and milk sure taste good though!! I have that 5 back off and am ready for more!! My husband still thinks there is nothing like Atkins!! He's a beef eater!!

Cool Cruiser, I 've been waiting for someone to reply to your post because I too, am interested. I have Jorge Cruise's 8 minutes in the morning for esay weight loss and his flat belly books. I have not followed his diet. I did the easy weight loss exercises and lost inches but not weight. I think you do need to follow the diet too. I hurt my back trying to do the flat belly book and am now recuperting from that and on steroids and muscle relaxers. I decided to stick with my treadmill and exercise bike!! I am 58 and can not do some of the things I think I should be able to do!! Guess I need a begining exercise for older people!! LOL!! I would like to start weight lifting. I live in the country and 20 miles from the closest town which is very small and offers nothing in the way of exercise groups. I would like to know if you started any of his books or the diet and how you are doing. Another thing. I have not gotten e-mails if someone answers my posts. Do I need to do something special or does this website not e-mail?
