First Week Phase 1 a Success!!

I've been "lurking" around this board for 3 weeks and finally decided to make the plunge and get loose of my carb and sugar cravings for good. I broke down and bought the book and read it through all the way. I really need to lose 26 lbs but I also just want to be more healthy. Well, anyway, I've been pretty faithful for a whole week and I've lost 6 lbs! I was hoping for that as a total for the first 2 weeks! This is so much better! I was sick with diverticulitis for day 3 through 5 and I'm not sure what brought that on (maybe the nuts) but I'm great now. I'm super, super charged for the next week. This board is awesome and I am so pleased with the overall way this diet works. Hope everyone is doing well too!If you are wondering if you can get away from bread and sweets take it from a "junkaholic" you can do it if you go the distance.

Thanks Amanda and Cathy for your kind comments. I am TOTALLY psyched for week 2. The best thing to keep you going is results, that's for sure. I am going to be better this week about more variation. I've been lazy about actually doing some of the more complicated recipes. My treat this week for Mother's Day is going to be prime rib, with steamed veggies and a salad with lowfat italian dressing. I haven't had beef at all so far. Hope you ladies have a good week.

Thanks again for your good wishes,

Maudie
