Can we get a thread going/lively chat to help each other?
GIVE & GET SUPPORT WHILE FOLLOWING THE ENLITA PROGRAM
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
HI Everyone........OK for NOW...I"m able to post on the:
ENCOURAGEMENT: MAKE CONNECTIONS Board...please join us at the
"restarting the thread AGAIN II" thread.
JUMP ON OVER...........
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
On behalf of Enlita, I apologize for website difficulties you may be experiencing. The site is currently undergoing changes and upgrades that will hopefully resolve these issues shortly.
Hi Jotales,
I am sorry you are having techie troubles. I hope that gets straightened out for you soon! Dr. Pearsall has MUCH better people on board now than when I started 10 months ago.
I am doing the hCG protocol but not with the group after all. I decided to wait until after my period this month to hopefully get the MOST benefit. I am also quite down right now and I will use this time to bring myself back up. Better to be in a "happy space" when starting this diet, don't you think?
I would like to someday get one of those gym balls, so I am going to be looking for feedback from you on how that is working out for you! I have a knee problem also, but I have no idea what it is called. My dog ran into my knee and made it bend the wrong way and I have had trouble with it ever since. I never had the money to pursue getting it looked at or treated, and will just deal with the pain. I am not going to let it slow me down :).
What week are you on now on the Enlita plan? What has been your favorite recipe? Most helpful tip? Enjoy all the good you are doing for your body-it is ALL worth it!
Warm regards,
Dawn

No...I still can't post on the ENCOURAGEMNENT:MAKE CONNECTIONS BOARD...so I'll try here...hoping Dr. Kendra dosen't mind. NOt sure my "buttons" will work again or for how long..
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hi Everyone!! especially LeAnn,Patrice and Dawn. We are trying to get this thread going and all of the sudden, I developed posting trouble. The darn "SUBMIT" button is not working...it just sends me to "Preview." So it looks like I have gone AWOL.
Now I'm fooling around w/ the buttons and actually posted on HERE by L.clicking; then R. clicking.....getting to that darn "PREVIEW" again and L clicking there to a post!! WHEW!!! did I at least burn a nano-calorie??
Patrice...I tried to private message you but I'm not sure you saw them.
I'm anxious to hear of your egg challenge results!
LeAnn..you are most patient and have excellent voice quality for "Support"position. Thanks again for all of your help.
Dawn...I may have been at this a lot longer than you;(allergic and sensitive) but I too don't lose weight no matter what diet I do. I too, am putting all of my hope on HCG. Will be trying the homeopathic version first. It has not arrived yet; but am getting all of my food & supplies prepared. I think it's great that your family is involved and all eating better! I'm hoping to do the week of liver/GB detox remedies first...I think I need it...before the HCG.
My progress: eEting the Plan well and yet I gainned 2 pounds! Fat % went down 1% so I think it's fluid. I really can't exercise as my knees are that bad. I have chondramalacia(friction under the knee-cap) so any extension and flexion exercises reactivate the problem. For now.....I'm lucky to walk w/ one cane. Bought a gym ball and need to get into that.
Can cycle w/ my arms so my goal is to reatart that this weekend.
Can't wait to hear how you all are doing. I've notices a couple new member names on the screen.......maybe they will post. :)
OK...I just got "in" by R. clicking onto the submit button; then L clicking!
WIll this continue to work???
Dawn....before I ask you to move to the ENcouragment: MAke Connections board...let me see if I can go there and post. J :D tales
Dawn..so great to see you post. We are trying to move to the ENCOURAGEMENT:Make Connections Baord but al of the sudden I developed posting trouble. the Webmaster is working on it. Just saw your post and so I'm going to try to reply here.jotales
Dawn...you've contributed to the Forums. alot...I caught you on one of the pre-recorded telecalls and we may have similar experiences w/ allergies and chemical sensitivities.SO SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCES HERE as we can learn from/support each other!
I've lost 1.5#'s in 2 days...I'll need support when the water weight is gone and the weight drop slows!!! Got quite a-ways to go! Excitedly awaiting LeAnn's HCG blog and the HCG Teleclasses. jotales
Hi jotales,
THANK HEAVENS for you and your desire to get a chat/support going on this forum! I have felt for a LONG time that I have been speaking to myself! I see that there have been a few others that are willing to post-awesome! I really think it helps to have someone to relate with while doing this life changing diet. I have been just skimming looking for new posts, but now that I know other posters are here, I will be more active again.
What week are you on, jotales? I am just hovering doing a lot a menu items from the early weeks and the detox weeks. Those foods make my family feel better. We must need it, and if we don't, who cares! We eat good and we feel good. What is better than that? Well, losing weight would be better than that! I have not lost more than a few pounds in the 10 months I have been on the Enlita program, so I am certainly not a poster child for Enlita, but I will say without a doubt that my family feels healthier on this plan and that is important. I am putting ALL MY HOPE towards the hCG finally working for me. I am determined that this is the breakthrough that my body needs to lose fat.
As you mentioned, I have (actually, HAD is a better word now!) a tremendous amount of toxicity in my body. It never made sense to me or to anyone who knew me WHY my body was gaining fat. It was really liberating to learn from the Enlita lessons how the body holds on to fat as a protective mechanism when you are toxic. TOTALLY explains why an athletic person eating a very healthy diet could gain so much fat in a short period of time and not be able to lose it no matter what diet I followed or how many calories I burned. A light bulb went off when I read through that lesson and participated in the teleseminar. Our bodies are spectacular machines!

Patrice and Everyone Else! I think Dr. Kendra would like us to use this other thread(forum group) as they didn't see our notations. ALso on the ENCOURAGEMENT: MAKE CONNECTIONS Thread; Enlita will moderate. (I didn't post here originally as all posts were so old; so I tried a sing-song name to get a current one going)
SO JOIN ME @ the ENCOURAGEMENT:MAKE CONNECTIONS thread.
NOt sure if the below will show up as an auto link...if not; use the quick "Jump to" window...below & right.

PLEASE DO NOT POST HERE; BUT POST ON THE ENCOURAGEMENT:MAKE CONNECTIONS THREAD. THANKS!
Old habits and addictions can be tough to break. Oftentimes, our relationships with food go back years, and when you are trying to change lifestyle choices, it may not be an overnight abiltiy to change for some. But try to keep your goals in mind, such as long-term health and feeling and looking better (or whatever it is that is motivating you). So like LeAnn said, please don't beat yourself up about having a sweet off of the program. But getting these foods out of the house may make it easier for you to stick to the positive changes you are trying to make. And frequently, when your body is given the right nutrients from food and sugary foods are not continually eaten, the cravings for sweets can decrease over time! You mentioned EFT - try a more specific phrase for sweets rather than general health. For example, "even though I have these cravings for sweets, I love and accept myself". Or whatever specific phrase rings true for you. Remember, this is about developing healthy lifestyles and having power over the daily choices we make.
So congratulations on your accomplishments so far!
Dr. Marci Scott
I am so sorry that I haven't seen your threads about needing support! :(
I have read you threads below and sounds like you are starting off just fine so don't beat yourself up over your tootsie roll ok? I had a extra small bite of a brownie at a gathering with friends!!!
I am interested to hear what went through your mind after you ate the tootsie roll? (anything besides guilt?)
Here is what went through my mind after the bite of brownie - Wow, somehow that brownie didn't even taste that good! I was an odd but exciting moment actually. I have always enjoyed brownies.
I would love to chat to encourage each other!
What week are you on? I am on three.
Patrice
sorry i was replying to this:
Can we get a thread going/lively chat to help each other?
GIVE & GET SUPPORT WHILE FOLLOWING THE ENLITA PROGRAM
Dr. Kendra...I'm not following your thought...what do you mean as "that would be in this forum?"
As for progress...I have lost 2#'s this week. the homeopathic HCG sounds intriguing! I appresiate your continual learning.
That would be in this forum:
HI! THere used to be a recipe for "Crock Pot Italian Beef" where you take a small roast 3#; place it in the crock-pot and pour in 1 bottle of Italian dressing. NOT HAVING A HEALTHY DRESSING...I made my own from:
1/2C EVOO (extra virgin olive oil as coinned by Racheal Ray)
1/4C flax seed oil
1/4C apple cider vinegar(Bragg's)
2 LG. cloves garlic minced (Love garlic!)
1 TBS. crushed dried Italian Herb Mix
Touch of cruched parsley
SHake well. Take 1/2 of this amt w/1/2C H2O and shake again. Pour this last mix over the roast in a 4qt. crock pot. [Save the first half dressing mix for future salads] Cook on HIGH for 12 hours.
WHen beef is tender...shred the beef w/ 2 forks. YOu may cook a bit longer if needed.
Makes a large amount! Rather tasty, though I wouldn't mind even more flavor. THere might be a healthy Italian dressing to buy....COULDN"T BE EASIER....maybe Annie's or Newmans possibly; but you would have to check the label.
As for Sylvie looking for food containners...in the STates, KMart sells glass oval "bowls" w/ heavy plastic lids by Martha Stuart. You can go to her website and she if she still has a store...or try other websites.
AAHHH! the ever dependable and supportive LeAnn. YOu brought a smile to my face. Of course it would be you to notice the new thread!! I AM SO GLAD YOU ARE HERE. IN the 21/2 weeks of my membership, you have been the most patient and supportive person getting me thru the site. THANKS SO MUCH!
I started at 208.5#, actually went up to 211 by the start of my second week as some soy icecream got me into a carb. binge. It was Patrice's family story that set me on track. Yesterday I fought.....ALL DAY....not to have a Tootsie Roll Pop...my only sugar source in my place(other than a lil' fruit) THere are 2 left and I don't want to throw them out! SIGN OF A REAL SUGAR ADDICT! HAppy to say that I won out and did not have it. But I would love to feel more relaxed and not have the craving at all. THink I could use some help nutritionally here..so I'm going to review the brain chemistry lesson. Any suggestions?
OK.....now I'm down to 206.5; "Water weight" I assume as my body fat has increased 3% points!!!Yikes!!! This happens to me all the time. FOr 10+ years my weight keeps going up yet the body fat % stays the same...47% :cry: EXCEPT when I start a diet...then I lose some pounds and the fat% goes up. I'm assuming that this is "Water weight" but why can't I get to losing fat? DOes anyone else have a body fat scale and have noticed the same event??
HAs there been a teleclass on using EFT for sugar cravings? I've used EFT before but don't know what to say, etc. and usually end up "tapping for general health." So if not; I would like a telecall on actually going thru the steps.
I had started following the ALCAT diet a month ago and started this adventure at 213#. SO I'm overall down 6.5#. CAn't do much exercise d/t bad knees so I'm looking for alternative movement ideas. FOr now I'm bowling,batting,and playing tennis on the Wi..whick is at least arm movement. Bought a gym ball and DVD..so I want to try that.
It's a beautiful day here.....clear blue skies and sunny. HAve a great weekend everyone!
I feel the same way. It would be great to get this going.
I am excited about my HCG blog too!
Hi All! Looks like the threads for support are fairly old, so I wondering if there are any newbies or sucessful Enlita members who would like to chat and give support and wisdom to each other?
Looks like Dawn and Patrice have tried hard to get a chat going....so here goes another try.
WONDERING how Sylvie is doing on the program? You joinned just before I did.
Have tried to reply to Patrice's comment re: the free ebook for members...but it would never accept my submit.....Patrice your family's effort in doing the eating plan together is VERY INSPIRING!! I was struggling w/ settling down into the 2 week Elimination Diet( yes, even that is hard when you are a total carb. addict) but your story had helped me. Kudos to you & your family!!!
Dawn...you've contributed to the Forums. alot...I caught you on one of the pre-recorded telecalls and we may have similar experiences w/ allergies and chemical sensitivities.
SO SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCES HERE as we can learn from/support each other!
