**SO YESTERDAY WAS DAY 30**

Posted by jillnicole03 on February 10th, 2009 |Filed Under Vegan Diet |

One month into McDougalling, and I feel great, I always eat (probably 6 small meals a day) and I like what I eat! It just takes a couple weeks to realize how to cook the foods you are allowed to have in a way that you like them best! I feel healthy, and proud of myself, and definitely hope I stick to this forever. I did allow myself a few slips (at a vegetarian restaurant & on my 3 day car trip), but I don’t feel guilty, because it is planned slip-ups.

I started the McDougall MWL Program January 10th at 180 lbs.

Today February 10th I weigh in at 166 lbs. That is -14 lbs in 30 days. I’m quite pleased with the results.
