Hi Everyone! I just picked up the book this weekend and my girlfriend and I are going to do this together. I'm going to do my grocery shopping tomorrow so I can start Monday.
A little personal stuff- I'm happily married with two children in San Francisco. I teach high school world languages. I've gained and lost about 25 pounds around three times in my life and I'm really looking forward to getting back into a size 6...we're experiencing beautiful weather and I had to buy things in a size 10. I'm more interested in clothing sizes than the numbers on the scale. I am sporadic in my workouts, leaning more towards yoga and pilates and walking these days. I love it when I'm on a roll and working out a lot, but sometimes I get into a funk. I've had a turbulent two years and things are only beginning to shake out now so I'm ready to make some changes around what I put in my mouth.
I am looking forward to meeting people.

I thought that I had to eat exactly what was written in the book for my meals. Once I read further along, I realized that I could start on Sunday with the stuff on hand. My husband assures me that he would rather die than go without his pasta. It's going to be a challenge to have to cook those things for the rest of the family and not indulge, but if I can console myself with a little cheese, this is the plan for me!
Thanks for the warm welcome. I look forward to getting to know you better!
