at least 33 for me.... I do miss the gym because I went after work every night.. Now I can't eat and I am not exercising... too much free time to want to eat. Maybe on week three next week I will add a little exercise back..not my usual spin class.

watch the avacodo it is also considered a fat.. trying add some broccoli, squash, etc.. something light and you can eat more of it. I made the wise fries with the butternut squash it was good.

Hello all ... popping in for a quick check up...so far so good...three more days to go before my weigh-in on Saturday. I have plans to go to salsa night with a friend to celebrate their anniversary, so I plan to dance all night.:carrot:
LOL! Of course there is a buffet...uggh! However, I am planning to eat, however, not overdo it, because it is not worth it, eating will no doubt set me back a day or two, and no doubt gain a pound or two. I am firmly in the 190s...yeah!!! I have officialy said goodbye to the 200s....firmly planted in oneder-land..never to return to the 200s..now to push past the 190s..and onto 180s..I hope to be firmly planted in 180s next week...key is to not overdo it on Saturday at the buffet and I should be okay..

Keep up the good work ... this program works, it is hard to watch family eat around you, or if you are the preparer of food, but we gotta do what is best for our bodies...p.s. my collarbone is becoming more and more pronounce..yeah!!..it is truly a girl thing we just how thin we are becoming if we can see our collarbone and/or if we see the vertical lines in our abs...LOL!!

I am really interested in this. Can anyone share the actual eating plan? (If it's already here and I just overlooked.. sorry! I did look before asking, though :) ) -- and for those who do the diet from a distance, how do you know exactly where to place the beads?

It can be boring. You need to mix it up. Use EVERYTHING we're allowed: syrups, jello, cocoa, candy, gum, diet drinks and mixes, flavor ice (thanks Melissa) ... etc.

The weight will be off in no time!

- lose muscle & organ mass (dangerous and your metabolism will lower)
- skin will become flabby as you lose weight

This is why I took a break back in November. I started cheating here and there and my hair began to fall out!!! Just couldn't stick to Basic... I immediately stopped the diet. Now I'm back and will not have a bite, lick or taste of anything "illegal". Would rather be FAT, OBESE than bald! LOL

I'd also like to add that I lost 80 pounds and DO NOT have flabby skin! This is remarkable since I'm in my 30's... HEEDED THE WARNINGS and DID NOT eat off plan! Food is not a reward!

This is a rigid plan that really doesn't allow us any leeway. Approach it military-style! LOL

I'm not really a fan of any diet drinks but i do like crystal light a lot. As far as candy goes, where only allowed 10 pieces but it can only be 10 calories or 10% sugar or something like that and I know i cant just stop at one :dizzy:
Clearly, I've reached the hardest part of the diet because all I'm doing is complaining lol. Guess I have to stop being picky and just suck it up and try new things. Can't wait to get over this hump!
But thank you, I will definitely try flavor ice and cocoa!

My sheet from my doctor says I can have sugar free jello that I make at home. I can also have sugar free pudding that I make at home on milk days as an add in to my yogurt. So just a spoon ful or so not a whole serving. I can have 6 pieces of sugar free candy. The accuweight web site says you can have jello so not sure why you can't.

As for the cocoa its unsweetened cocoa and I believe the limit is two tablespoons per day.

It's all so confusing; not to mention frustrating, when they keep giving different directions to everyone. I'm just trying to go by what they're telling MJ. They said we could have sugar free jell-o ONCE in a blue moon. I havn't heard of the sugar free pudding though, sounds good.

if you go to the accuweight website and listen to the recording regarding the program she says on the recording anything with 0 sugar, 0 calories and no vinegar can be eaten outside of the hours of 12-6 with no stipulation on the amount.

The pudding that my dr. says I can use as a mix in to my yogurt is not 0 calories and made with milk. So I can have a little during 12-6 (its not an unlimited item)

So basically any food you find that fits those three criteria can be eaten.
