I'm starting TODAY!
« on: June 09, 2010, 11:54:50 AM »
I've been buying diet books, filling the fridge with recommended stuff, hating it, throwing it out and buying another book for the past six months.  My weight continues to increase.  My blood sugar was in the prediabetic stage at 112 last week.  Yesterday I went to Barnes and Nobel and your book jumped out at me.  I love its cheerful cover and large print.  I read it cover to cover, packed my little lunch box with protein and today I'm on my way.  I was so excited last night I couldn't fall asleep.  I know this is a plan I can follow. I weigh 170 pounds and would like to get down to 130.

So happy to have you join us...I promise you it will be worth it.  I loved Doug's idea for snacks as well.  My husband and I love the deli roll ups (meat/cheese/pickle) as well as the boiled eggs option.

We are here to support you!
Peace and blessings,

Thanks to all for the warm welcome.  I'm doing well with following the plan and remain excited about staying with it.  Can't wait to go grocery shopping tomorrow, a task I usually dread.
Again, Thanks
