I AM STARTING ON THE 4TH. I AM STARTING ALLI ON SATURDAY. GOOD LUCK TO YOU. LINDA 

No, I'm waiting until after the 4th as we will be shooting fireworks out in my daughter's pasture ... not close to a bathroom.  That warning sure has my scared.

Hi donna, I started on monday July 2nd, I have a husband who lives and loves going to the food market, stocks up on Costco ice cream Dove bars, they sit in our freezer, I keep telling myself 1 won't be enough, so I drink a delicious glass of water. I signed up at Curves and I need to motivate myself and go more than once a week. I have 2 bischion's, they are so lovable. I don't keep count on calorie intake, I am now staying away from can foods and fried foods, breads and sugar. I love to munch, especially in the evening, I just thought of something, I'll run a bath and soak my big body till my hands look like prunes! Good luck, Beverly

Hi:

I started on July 2 also.  I am 49, 5' 61/2" and as of today weight 184 lbs.  I have been following a low fat diet for the last year and had lost about 19 lbs as of November but after the holidays and the stress of my job and other things in my life, have gained about 10 of those lbs. back.  I am hoping to get down to about 135, but if so, that will be the least that I've weighed in a very long time.  I am used to eating about 1200-1400 calories a day, but my plan calls for 1800, and I am not eating near that.  I'm afraid if I did, I would gain weight since my body is used to the lower amount, so I thought that I would stick to that and see what if any weight loss I have.  If that doesn't work, then I guess I'll try the recommended amount.  I am from Texas, a single mother with 4 teenagers, so would welcome having somebody to talk to along the way.  Well, good luck to everyone!!

Hi, Monday weighers!  Weighed yesterday and lost another pound.  That is 7 lbs in two weeks.  I'm so excited, I even went out and bought a new scale.  More accurate with large digital numbers. I can already feel my clothes getting looser.  Good luck everybody!
