Hi, Marshhills. Yes, you can have honey – just remember to count it as a carb exchange if you use more than 2 teaspoons.

I checked all my food choices and saved them. It now says I have nothing chosen with which to make a menu for me. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Sug1940, To get tips and guidelines that will help you get the most out of the menu planner application, simply click on the following link: http://www.trimdownclub.com/menu-planner-tutorial/

Or from within the Menu Planner, click on “Start walkthrough” at the bottom left to get step-by-step instructions on how to use the Menu Planner Application.

Additionally, below is an explanation on how to use the Menu Planner:

1) Go to http://www.trimdownclub.com

2) On the top right corner of the homepage click Login

3) Now, enter your Username and Password (You can also use your email address connected to your purchase as your username. If you lost or forgot your password, click on “Lost your password?”)

4) Once you are logged in, click on “Create a Menu”

5) To create a personal menu plan where you have the ability to choose your own foods, simply click on “START MENU PLANNER” (orange button to the right of the page). If you prefer to receive a pre-planned menu, simply click on “READY-TO-GO MENU”.

6) If you chose to create your own menu, you’ll have to add your favorite foods to your menu plan. Switch between the main food categories by clicking on the boxes (Carbs, Proteins, Fats, Sweets, Vegetables, Fruit) above the meal planner. Please note that you will only be able to finalize your choices and click on “SAVE & CREATE MENU” when all meals have enough selections in them (8 Carbs and 8 Proteins for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Snacks; 3 Fats for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Snacks; 2 Sweets for Snacks; 6 Fruits for Snacks; Vegetables are unlimited)

7) Then, once your menu is completed, from within the main Menu Planner Application Area, under “Measurement” select the measurement system you would like to use for your menu plan (Ounces or Grams)

8) Additionally, click on “Grocery List” to create a complete shopping list for all the items in your menu. In the next screen that appears, select the days you want to generate a grocery list for. Add the first day and the last day using the dropdown menu. For example, selecting Monday as a first day and Tuesday as the last day will generate a list for both Monday and Tuesday’s meals. A complete list of all the items you need to buy will appear broken down into categories such as: nuts, fruits, grains etc. for easy reference while you’re shopping. To print your grocery list, click on “Print this grocery list”, located at the top right of the screen

9) To print your weekly menu, click on “Print Menu”. A new window will now open where you can print out your personalized menu and take it with you

I hope this helps. If you have any further questions, please let me know.

Very disappointed beginning my 3rd week and nothing is happening following the plan an am exercising which I did anyway all my weight is in my middle does that have anything to do with it. I read about these people who have lost 5 pounds in a week and wonder what is wrong

[Ossie-Sharon]

Hi, Marshhills. A couple of options.
One, if you have been exercising, it is possible that the scale is not the best indicator at this stage. See if you are looking and feeling better, and if your clothes fit differently.
Two, if there is definitely no change, try the reduction discussed earlier in this thread, and see if that works for you.
