HI Bluebird….good to have another Aussie on board! Congratulations on your loss! I am up in Qld…Boyne Island near Gladstone. Where are you? 800 grams is the weight my little grandaughter was at birth..she’s a big girl now..off to school in one and a half weeks!!! So I am counting the Stephanie’s I lose!!! lol…I am nearly onto my second!!! I haven’t lost much, but I am feeling much better on the food I am eating…more energy, not as bloated. Anyway, hope it all continues well for you. Happy sailing….Bev.
Having trouble with realistic meal planning for my family. We need quick and simple. Some of these recipes are bit too daring for us and who can afford to waste food?!?
Have not had any success yet. I plan m y meals but still seem to fail when I’m caring for my little ones. Help!Well friends this is my first day it calls for a quiche but I have to modify with just a egg got to go shopping. I really am challenging myself to stay with this my gift to myself a new wardrobe and I want it bad.
What a wonderful site! I’m down 10 lb since Jan 1. It’s been up and down, so I may go up a bit again, but I am really happy.
Congratulations to everyone who is doing well, and keep in there, those who are on a plateau, this REALLY WORKS!
I started 1 week ago. I looked at the suggested menu. It suggested way more food than I normally eat. I decided to go slow. All I did was add a hardboiled egg to my mid morning snack ( apple) and moved it from 10:00 to 08:00. I also added a light mid afternoon snack ( handful of homemade trailmix). I cut out the roll I usually have at lunch with my soup.
Results: No measurable weight loss, BUT: ( and this is a big one) I found that I do NOT feel like a truck hit me by the time I got home. For the first time in many years, I do not have aching muscles at the end of the week. I would typically feel like I hit ‘the wall’ ( gone anaerobic) by the end of the workweek. I am not ravenously hungry when I get home. I am satisfied with even less food than before. My food intake has decreased, while what i eat has
Conclusion: I have been making healthy food choices and controlling portions for years, yet I have been starving myself between meals, believing that the time spent hungry would burn off the calories. I woke up this morning with energy to tackle my chores and projects. I think this will work – the maintaining more constant blood sugar will make a difference in the long haul.
I have been on the plan for a week now and dropped a pound a day for 7 days…I know it will level off soon, but amazed at how much energy I have and how content and satisfied I feel each day!
Hi everyone, I’m from Wisconsin and just getting started with the program, doing the shopping list and cleaning out the frig. I have a lot of weight to lose and hope this will help. I look forward to getting to know you all. Good health to all.
I started this plan on New Years Day and so far am down just over 8 lbs. Very happy with that. I even spluged and had a piece of cake, (ok a sliver) for my husbands birthday. I do have the luxury of living on a 40 acre farm and we always have had a nice big garden in the summer. I am still pulling carrots out of the ground as I use those with apples and cukes for my juice. 100% natural. I also dried bags and bags of apples, peaches, pears, cherries and raisins over the summer and fall, so I can have my fruit knowing there is absolutely no additives, all I use is a squeeze of lemon juice to prevent browning. I keep these in the freezer. Best investment is a dehydrator and juicer as they are my lifesavers. I have also switched to 100% whole wheat bread, english muffins and bagels for when I eat bread. (we live in a very small town and havent been able to find an SWG bread yet. What I am wondering is can I eat the 100% whole wheat/grain pasta?? I havent found any brown rice flour or pasta yet but plan to do so. Thanks for any help, and I too am feeling so full of engery. My birthday is in May an I hope to be close if not at my goal weight. Good luck to all.

Thanks so much this is great xxxx Shari
Since I started one week ago I have been reading many of the success stories. They really helped get me excited for my weigh day. I gained 4 pounds!!!! How is this possible? I shopped, measured, stuck to the menu to the letter. I have never been so disciplined about following a menu as I was this week. Has this happened to anyone? I agree with many of you…it’s a lot of food. Much more than I was eating before I started with Trim Down. I had never eaten Kale, Collard greens, papaya. Good stuff but ?????? Help somebody!!!! If it’s exercise, I did walk briskly for 30 minutes 3 days this week.
Been on the diet for 7 days and have not lost 1 pound. What am i doing wrong? Also working out 3 days a week. HELP!
I just finished two weeks and had a total of 7 lbs. lost. I am enjoying this way of eating. Never hungry but find it hard some days to eat 6 meals. Some days I don’t drink enough water. When it is cold I like to drink hot tea and coffee. I like some of the recipes but have been tweeking to my food on hand. Been making lots of soup, my favorite meal. I have been sharing it with my neighbors and they love it. Can’t wait to see how much I lose next week. I feel great.
Hi everyone just like to say I am so enjoying reading everyone’s comments it’s really helping to stay forced . A bit about me I live in Mackay Queensland I have a set of twins 18 month old granddaughters and anther 4 year old grandson and his 19month old sister I love being their granny they keep me real busy. I also work as a group leader in the babies room in a busy day care centre .Six years agoI loss all my weight but since the twins have be born the weight just slowly crept on again I have been enjoying this food program and in two and 1/2 weeks I have losses 3 kg not sure what that is in pounds but I am happy with that and not finding the program hard at all .
Hello, I’m very happy with this diet. I’ve lost a pound a week, but I am most impressed with how my belly is not sticking out as before. And I have not been hungry at all. I still need to drink more water and I have my coffee with skim milk which I am not ready to give up. I’ve been active but have not started exercising. I have 12 pounds to go, but I am not in a hurry, just don’t want to buy larger clothes.
