Sandi, I just checked something, & it appears to work. Do you possibly have more than one browser? Such as Firefox and Internet Explorer, or Chrome, etc.? If so, they it appears that you can use one for viewing & working in the Home page (main) site area, and the other for working in the Forums. I appear to be doing that now. I have the Home page site on my IE, & logged in there. I am using Firefox here, and am obviously logged in over there.
If you have 2 different browsers on your computer, you might try that. Might be an option.
I'm even glad to find that out!!! Tho I rarely use IE, I do keep it on my computer. (Some sites I have to use won't work in anything else.) Soooo, I might start using it for my Home site uses!

Sandi, First of all Welcome to the site!
Yes, I know it is frustrating! And as far as the MUST DO I'm afraid it usually wouldn't even do any good, as people just don't notice! There IS a Sticky (stays there doesn't get lost down the page with new posts) near the top of the General Discussion that talks about login problems, yet very few people ever notice it!
But also, this is a glitch in the system (having to log in, log out, log in). We're not supposed to have to do that. George even thought it was fixed I think. They are currently building a NEW site around us, trying to get rid of all these glitches. Then right in the middle of all that, the server Yahoo, started having problems! We've been essentially locked out off & on for a couple or so weeks. That is hurting us BIG time. So often the problem you were having was from them, and not us. I just hope they now actually have it FIXED!!! Cause they've though they did a few times already.

Soooo,,,, hopefully before long we won't have to log out of one to be in the other. Isn't supposed to be that way now! Tho we do have to log into each separate, we aren't supposed to have to log out to use the other. Like I said, it is a glitch, and hopefully it will soon be fixed. But these things take time, and a low of work!!! You have no idea what all is going on behind the scenes to try to get this place BETTER!
And I understand your frustration over the log in, log out, log in thing, It's driving me crazy too!!!

I'll see what I can do about that MUST DO notice.

Hopefully the site will soon be better than ever. It is being worked on!! And the server problems have just slowed it down!

Hello George and crazywoman,
I've had the problem all morning of having to Log Out then ON when changing from HOME to FORUM postings. Just when I think I have it figured out... then I get several warning comments that I must be logged in to do that! ( if I'm trying a post, or changing a pic, or editing my profile, etc) So I don't have it figured out after all. I did find that 2 of my posts were there and I even was able to reply to a note from carol who's' just as confused as I am. I'm hopeful though, that it's something I can learn/adapt to/ function in.

George, I've ordered 2 of your books from Amazon this week and have reviewed your vids to see if I over-looked anything...so nice for you to provide that mode of cluing us in! I've been Somersizing for yrs now and want something different now. The shopping and food lists are much the same, so I'm hoping it will be a smooth transition. I caught you on Dr Oz as well, and that was a GREAT help! Your tip to click on the round Food network symbol at the bottom of the HOME page to access your 100 recipes was AWESOME! .... as well as your NEW recipes ( accessed by clicking on Recipes in the upper bar).... all I can say is WOW!!! and then follow that with a resounding THANK YOU and a BLESS YOU for sharing as you do!!!

You've tempted me AND inspired me: I have cream cheese ( one full fat and one 1/3 the fat ) blocks softening at room temp and also full fat Ricotta, to make a cream pie in a while. The frozen organic blueberries have been prepped in a saucepan with Splenda and a little guar gum to thicken the sauce as a pie topping. I'll use sf vanilla and a little TRUE LEMON powder to flavor the filling with a splash of cream, Splenda and maybe a drizzle of XAGAVE.....and for the first time EVER, I will attempt using the almond flour . I think it may have been your lead somewhere, to spray the dish and sprinkle the AL flour and a bit of Splenda before adding filling? I may add a strawberry fan in the center for added color...but for the MOST part, I'm looking forward to coating strawberries with the sf Baker's chocolate for our Valentine treat this next week. AGAIN... thank you for all your experiments and result sharing so we can enjoyable options in sharing life with family and friends! It's been a long while since I had anything sweet other than a couple of sf hard candies. haha This is more fun! HUGZ to you and your family for SWEET SUCCESS and bringing hope to all of us here. sandi

Whew! It was a 4 X TRYING process, but I finally got it straight to post here. I DID have to log OFF of the Home page to then have my log ON accepted in the Forum page. Which brings me to my suggestion.....
is it possible to have a PROMINENTLY posted notation that this is a MUST DO at the top of both the HOME page and the Forum page ( the need to log OFF of one to log ON the other?) I have been trying to figure this out for over a week and finally saw a mention of it by crazywoman this morning somewhere in general discussion. It is like THE GOLDEN KEY...the SECRET golden key and it was just by CHANCE I happened upon that info. Wow! I can see how ppl could get frustrated and walk away.

I am so glad to have the explanation too, from reading something George posted in General discussion somewhere, that there are two different site services ( whats' the correct word?) and THAT is why the double log in is necessary. Just wishing I could log into both and have a 2nd window open showing each main page at the same time and to use the bulk of my time in reading and learning, rather than in log ON/ log OFF over and over. ( I think I have that part down now). LOL I may need a Stella Style SNACK to keep up my logging ON and OFF energy! Thank you for offering a place for suggestions. sandi

Hi there! CONGRATS! on moving back down the scale!! That's TERRIFIC news as I was hoping to see just THAT going on around here!

I am new to the forum and slowly figuring out how to use it. The search system seems to take me the longest... but I'm hoping you can help with what I couldn't find an answer to: Pistachio nuts, roasted, no salt. Are these allowed? Is kale something I should be limiting? Are we supposed to start with a bare 20 grams of carbs daily? I can eat that in kale alone in no time, so I'm wondering how to make this Do-ABLE. Is caffeine something to worry about or not? I love my regular coffee and use it with heavy cream and a sweetener ( this AM it was Splenda bulk type)..but also, I'm wondering if you know anything about Whey Low D sweetener.. their diabetic type sweetener and whether it's ok, as it is natural. Thanks if you have answers to share.

Do you know when the chat room will be up and running?
AT the bottom here, where posting is almost complete...what do the options mean about disabling HTML, BBBode,Smilies? Sorry to have so many ?'s at once.

Sandi
PS
Kale tip: 'm loving the fresh kale with a little smoked ham a sprinkle of onion powder and a drizzle of sf syrup... the latter added right at the end of cooking time ( lid on). WOW! It's got the YUM factor for sure!

Hello in here!!Hello in here!Hello in here!Hello in here! Do I hear an echo in here. Sure is lonesome! But guess I'm as bad as the next person. I've not posted anything new in a while either. AND I know that we've been having some Major server issues!
Just wanted to drop in and say hi. Hope everyone is doing well. (I know some are having health issues right now, and praying they and/or their family get better soon.)
I've finally broke the LONG plateau that I was on, and starting to see some pounds come back off again. Very slowly, but they are dropping again. Unfortunately due to different circumstances I had gained some of my weight back from my original loss. But I'm seeing the scales slowly dropping back down again! YAY!

I know the site has been a pain to get into lately. But both Yahoo server & George have been working on it constantly! Hopefully it will all be resolved soon!

Have a great day & great weekend everyone!!! Blessings!!!

Sheryl, Congrats on the weight loss!! And thanks for the link to the article. We have been "brainwashed" for so long that fat is bad for us. Yes we can overdo (or over eat) anything! But we need fat in our diet to be healthy! Some of us actually need more fat than others. That is true of many things! Some need a lot more fiber than others, etc.

As for the book, here is the post that George did that talked about the book availability. I think his post is a few posts down. So, I'm not really sure when it will be available elsewhere. It is after all Feb, and the book will start mailing next week to those who have already pre-ordered it. Woo Hoo!

Billie, what a kind post. Thank you! I agree about South Beach. I liked it a the beginning, but those restrictions on saturated fats were too silly for me. When one limits carbs the kind of fats we eat are moot. I'll come back and post a link to a great article in Scientific American that talked about this just last year.

The Glycemic Load Diet is similar to South Beach, but not as restrictive in the types of fats you eat. The author put out 3 books on the topic and I have them all. I'm just loving eating this way, and the weight is going down...AND no counting, weighing or measuring, really. And I agree sometimes it takes a while to find a plan that really fits you. For years I did well on Weight Watchers and limiting calories, then I developed pre-diabetes and those plans just didn't work for me anymore.

I know in the past the author of the Glycemic Load Diet, Rob Thompson M.D. had the services of famed low carb cookbook author Dana Carpender to do his book recipes. George he needs YOU! Every single one of your recipes that I have tried is awesome.

Billie, thanks for the QVC tip. I don't think I'll be able to hold out for several months!

Sheryl, finding what works for you is what is important! Hope you've found it. South Beach works for some people, but I do not think it would work for me. Like you said too little fat. And I don't think I could eat some of the foods they allow, and lose. I think I would gain. But everyone is different, and that is one of the reasons there are so many different types of Ways of Eating out there.

George has always been about helping others! Thank you George & family!!

Tho his newest book may (and I did say may) eventually go on sale at Amazon, I don't think it will be for quite some time. QVC has an exclusive on it right now. George mentioned something about that in one of the posts, but I can't remember where or just what he said right now.

Glad you could get back in & post an update. Hang in there!!! And please keep coming back. (Even if we keep having problems. It will get fixed. May be fixed now!) Keep us updated on how you are doing!

p.s. I can't believe I never noticed the "recipes" link on top before! How generous of George to post these. Like I said, I love his recipes and they fit in perfectly with the way I eat.

And the Oz show was fabulous. What a wonderful family.

George needs another cooking show, for sure.
