Were you the one who recommended calcium to kick start my stalled weight loss?

I rec'd the more absorbable calcium citrate, and began taking it yesterday, and today I had lost two pounds -- instead of being static or gaining.

I had lost 32 lbs. in 2001 by adding yogurt to my daily menu (16 of which I regained when I had to take a new med), and until recently I never knew why eating yogurt made me lose that weight -- until I read a study that showed consuming calcium can really help some people lose weight.

Yes, I was. That is GREAT news. I'm glad it's helping. It's nice when medical news acutally comes out with things you can use, instead of more things you "shouldn't" do. You're on your way again!

I "read" your discourse with another Bush Babe and thought - "Hmmm, I'm stalled on Atkins at current, wonder if some Calcium would help." So, bought the most absorbable kind, and wonder of wonders, lost 5 lbs this week. I still weigh on Wed. Mornings, in honor of our old Bush Babes weight loss group that seems to have stopped meeting. But some habits die hard with me - and I like the Wed. AM weigh-in.

Thanks for the suggestios. Now I wish I had paid more attention to the other suggestion besides the Calcium!

Oh, and I went back to taking the Omega-3 oils as well. I had run out, and had to get more of them as well.

Whichever caused me to go back to losing weight, I don't care. I can't drink milk or eat yogurt and most cheeses aren't favorable to my digestive system either, so getting this Ca in me is probably bone-saving! Thanks y'all!!!
