Hi ,

Please join us in losing weight/fat the healthy way. Please check

out www.bodyforlife.com and www.hussman.org (the fitness section).

These sites will give you an idea of what we are doing. This is a

very healthy eating plan and exercise program. It is NOT a

starvation diet, you get to eat every 3hrs and you get a free day.

The exercise portion takes from 20-50 min/6days a wk. I work out at

home. You can start out with a few hand wts, or use canned food,

empty milk jugs filled with water, etc. Some of the exercises you

can start with no wt. Anyway, please check out the above sites to

get you started. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have.

You CAN do it!

Becky

Everybody here is doing Body for Life. It's a book by Bill that

outlines how to transform your body. Go buy a copy or check it out from the

library. The nutrition involves six small protein and carb balanced meals a day

from a list of authorized foods. Three days a week you do 20 minutes of intense

interval cardio, three days a week you do 45-60 minute pyramid sets of either

upper or lower body weight training, and on the seventh day you don't have to

workout and you get to eat whatever you want. Pretty sweet!! In addition to the

core workouts, you can still be active throughout the day, take a class, go

jogging, whatever interests you.

Be sure to check out the Body for Life site for specific information on

nutrition and workouts. You may also want to check out the new Bill

book Eating for Life for help with nutrition and meal planning. Somewhere on

that website they may ask for a password to see the meal plans and menus. If

they do, last time I checked the magic words were " grilled salmon " .

Here's another great sites to check out:

Hussman's Site - Wonderful, detailed info on transforming your body. Sit

down with a large caffeine and an hour or so to kill.

Body for Life doesn't require calorie counting. You eat palm or fist sized

portion of protein and carbs six times a day. So, a day might go like:

palm sized piece of wheat toast, fist sized scrambled eggs

palm sized portion of turkey slices, fist of grapes

fist sized portion of cottage cheese, fist sized apple

palm sized lean hamburger or veggie burger, fist sized wheat bun

palm sized tuna pouch, fist sized orange

palm sized chicken breast, fist sized potato

You need to eat a vegetable with at least two meals but you can have as many

veggies as you want. Big salads, bags of carrots, celery, and broccoli with

lowfat dip. See the Lean out or Swell Up Menu for why fruits and vegetables are

so important for weight loss.

If you're doing this at school, it's really handy to have an insulated cooler

and one of those blue ice thingies that you freeze and use to keep your meals

cold. There are a lot of meal options that are portable and can be eaten quickly

on a break or between classes. Check out the nutrition bars at the grocery

store. My article on Meal Replacement Bars will give you an idea of what to look

for. The meal replacement shakes and bars aren't necessary but they're kind of

handy if you're busy. Stay away from Slim Fast. It's sugar water. Look for

things with at least 15-20g of protein on the label and less than 30g of carbs.

Try to recruit some people to do this with you. It's more fun and easier to

stick with if you have a team. Ask your friends, parents, brothers, sisters,

anybody who might be interested. If there aren't any willing participants you

can still find lots of support here. Good luck! Keep us posted. :-)

Hi Kathy,

This must be so awful for you and your daughter! I have an 8yo daughter and

a 4 yo son, and I suffer when they do!

A few thoughts. We have a charter school near us that seems to attract lots

of non-mainstream kids. My daughter takes art there, and fits right in.

Granted, she doesn't seem to do as many tics there as when she is elsewhere,

but other kids there have tics and other problems, so she really doesn't

stand out. From speaking with the 2 teachers she works with, they know how

to handle it. We've had no problems. Maybe a charter school in your area

would be more willing/able to work with you and your daughter.

As for homeschooling, we homeschool. One of the things I like is that while

she sees a variety of kids through play dates and different activities, I am

usually on hand and would be the one to handle any problems.

But homeschooling is a big decision, and it needs a lot of careful thought.

It might depend on where you live and what support can be had from other

homeschoolers. I'm in the Ann Arbor, Michigan area, and we have tons of

homeschoolers, which is great. I know lots of families that have pulled

their kids out of school due to children being teased and/or lack of support

from teachers, and many have been very glad they did so. It is certainly

something to consider, and may be a good choice for you. If you have

questions, please feel free to email me. Possibly off-list would be best.

(plbus@...).

Hang in there!
