I just signed up, and have read actually nothing yet. I wanted to see what real people, with no monetary gain, have found usefull.

I am going to read this all now, but what do you think is the most important component of this plan? What do you do abt roadblocks? What is the best. Things you can eat when you get emotional eating?

Dying to hear from you

Hi figbrat, I agree with your post 2 days ago. Where is the help and replies to all the queries. I thought this was a uk site. Now I have met others in the uk who have never heared of some of the foods. No one replied to my question from the trim down team. Why should we have to pay for a query?

I’m from the US and haven’t heard of some of the foods mentioned. What’s with all the “raw” foods? I’m familiar with raw fruits and vegetables, but raw cheese, raw milk, etc??? This may not be as easy as I’d hoped!!

Ive just joined too. If you are from the UK like me just google some of the more obscure sounding items on the list and you’ll find the uk equivalent. I found that cilantro is coriander and SWG is sprouted whole grain, which can be bought on line but I’m just going down to my local health food store to find uk equivalent. Spelt flour is like this I believe. I start today so good luck everyone – here’s to losing 20 lbs and then another!

Seaborn, you should try a gluten free menu; no wheat, barley, or rye flour. I eat bread made from brown rice and almond flour, crackers from nuts, amaranth (a gluten free flour), and rice flour, and chips from rice and lentils. I lost 8 lbs in 5 wks when I went gluten free and my energy improved. Oat flour and buckwheat are good choices for muffins, pancakes, etc.

I feel like I am doing a good job on making eating habit changes…yesterday, I ate on half of a sandwich and a small salad. I also had a little sip of red wine after dinner. Herstorically, I would have over done everything. I slept well last night and today we climbed a steep hill with our dog. I wished an old friend Happy Birthday.

Hi All, I just joined yesterday. Read as much as I could to get me started today. I screwed up bkfst. I ate 2 sml blkberry pancakes w honey & 1/2 turkey sausage kielbasa & coffee. Lunch was late combined w dinner. Ate from one of the recipes, which was good. Drank a green smoothie. I love them. I did go food shopping. My biggest problem is that I hate to cook. Lots of prep time & cleanup. But, I got this. Some time ago I bought a triple slow cooker & can cook 3 dif meals, place them in seal a meal bags & freeze. I’m really psyched about this program. I look forward to support when in need. Oh, and I joined a gym today. Happy New Year.

Hi ya all just thought I’d share this as I think we all feel or felt the same at the beg.. Do I eat all this ..it’s American not understanding etc etc i started last week the day after new yrs day silly really half way throu the wk and coming up to a wkend my worst time on my own with the kids bored etc and comfort eat. Iv sat wen I have time in between work and late at night going throu menus and quickly picked up don’t like that il swap it and also I think the key is not to panick if u haven’t got something just adjust it as best u can in ur mind it’s still going to be healthy and still a smaller portion so don’t beat urself up also u may as I did at the wkend fall off the wagon with the last of my Xmas fav truffles did the diet all day then sat for a while after eating truffles thinking why did I do that… But the next day got rite bk into it and I’m not going to lie iv had a cple of days like that!!! But this morn I thought bk to normal routine I can do this on the scales I felt I’d lost something but wasn’t sure last wk 15st 12.2 lbs this morn 15st 6.8 lbs so nearly 6lb so to all u out there yes eat it all adjust where u have to improvise don’t worry if u fall off get bk on nxt day it does work 🙂 x

Hi, I have just joined, I’m not sure if I can stick to the diet meals but it has already made me ‘aware again’ of what I am eating. I got a shock when I weighed myself I’m not that overweight but it’s crept on without me really noticing. I so hope this keeps me from grazing on the wrong foods that make me more hungry than ever!

[Jilly13]

I have just joined myself, so I’m new to it all where do I start?
