Starting Wave 1 today

[SLB3]

Today has finally arrived and I've begun Wave 1 . Wish me luck! If anyone has any pointers or advise for me I would love if you shared them with me.

Good luck!

I'm going to start too, although I cheat and eat extra fruit. I hope I can do enough exercise to make up for it... I just love to have a piece of fruit with every meal except breakfast.

One reason I like this plan so much is because I love peanut butter!

I'm starting at about 135, and I'd like to get under 130 "forever."

I had to cheat alittle yesterday because I was getting very light headed and a cheese stick wasn't working so I had 3 mint M&M's. I also had to nibble on veggies or a couple spoonfuls of soup inbetween meals. Either I'm not eating enough or it's sugar withdrawal. Have you had this happen in the beginning?

The main reason I chose this plan was the variety of food you can have. I have to have variety not total restriction from the foods I love.

Me too! I started today!

I love this plan! I had started it a long time ago, stopped, tried weight watchers, but I love the concept of this plan too much.

Good Luck ckatgo. Keep me posted on how you're doing.

are you eating your nuts? thats what ties you over ot the next meal

i had no withdrawls, no craving, no hunger and I exercise 2 hours everyday and follow the plan to the letter.

Zofia after the 2nd day on Wave 1 I started feeling better. I do still get a little lightheaded after eating white bread so I try really hard to avoid it. I have found that the nuts do tie me over more than the cheese stick so I've stopped using them as a go to snack. I may have 1 occassionally (usually if I'm out of my other choices). Now that I'm on Wave 2 I'm doing much better. The only obstacle I'm running into is not planning my meals in advance. If I have them planned I follow that menu for the day/week to the letter. I really need to make that a priorty. Thanks for reminding me about the nuts.

For last minute I usually go tosubway and order the same thing or I buy healthy frozen entrees depending where you are in the world. hang in there, it gets easier after a while because you develop tricks to when youa re not prepared

Another great tol that helps me all the time is that I buy healthy can soup and always make more at dinner time so the enxt day I can have the protein for lunch and the soup for my veggies.
