Hi my name is Shelly and I am on day five now. So far things haven't been terrible. I have lost 4 pounds already and have more energy. I have been coming here and lurking and it has given me strength to overcome the cravings. I am having a real hard time with not having breads and pastries! I even dreamt of pastries, cookies and candy last night. Just showed me how deeply rooted my addiction is. I have found the plan the easiest plan by far. I tend to obcess with how much I can eat and hate feeling hungry. I have even started slipping the new habits into the boys (17 & 12) and hubby's (been married 18 years) routines! My goal is to lose 59 lbs to get to a healthy weight. With the threat of diabetes, my mom currently has it and my biological father had it, I am very concerned for myself. Father died young from complications of the diabetes and not taking care of himself. Ok enough rambling. I don't post much but I lurk a lot! See ya all around.

Hi Shelly!

I think you are doing great on phase 1. I am now on my 6th day and have lost 2 lbs. I am not sure what I am doing wrong but I am really discouraged. I think I may be eating too much cheese or nuts. What was helpful to you?

Congratulations!
