I started three weeks ago, but did week one over because I had a birthday and cheated. Oh well! I am now in the middle of week two and have lost at total of 22 pounds. Some of that was lost doing medifast the week before I started Crack the Fat loss Code.
I love this plan, the first few days were tough and I was crabby, but after that I've done better than any other plan I have been on.
My mantra is one that is not new or orignal, "Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels" and I have taken it to a bit further to say, "Chocolate (or french fries or Key lime Pie, etc) does not taste as good as being thin feels & I choose not to eat Chocolate." This is empowering me to not eat emotionally and making me realize that each time I put something in my mouth it needs to be a choice not just a habit.
Tuesday was Election Day here in Oregon and my office counts the ballots. It is usually a late night and everyone brings yummy snacks. I made this my carb up day and brought two slices of pizza and chips and salsa for me to eat. We had donuts, brownies, cheese, crackers, and all kinds of dips, but I stuck to plan. The next day we were all tired and someone brought us donuts again and again I did not eat any. I truly cannot believe it, but the confidence boost it has given me is tremendous!
If you have not started yet, give it a try. The book is a must and I am finding that I need to keep reading chapters over and over to make sure I understand what I am doing.
I am working on losing 100 pounds and now have 78 pounds to go.
Cheers,
Suzi
