the smoothie sounds good--I will give them a try then go from there. There are still 2 more weeks of the jetstart portion. Live and learn huh?

bumping thread

OK Lettie - sorry to be a nitwit but I think I am going to try this now that I've read it I just have some questions.

TO - I don't do the TO juice due to sugar so can I do the grapefruit thing? If so I dont' really remember what the rules for that were. I'm guessing that instead of 8oz to juice it would be 1/2 grapefruit? Was it 2 grapefruit a day or 1, I don't remember. If it's 1 a day then it would be 1/2 grapefruit each sitting.

I actually have 3 jetstarts sitting in the fridge so I'll just use those and then get some slim fast drinks.

And could you give us an update on your progress to date. How long have you been on it now and what's your weight loss so far?

Is anyone here today? I want to start this tomorrow but I have questions before I hit the grocery store. This says follow TO instructions for veggies which are limited but these instructions say unlimited veggies. Are there specific veggies to use for this? I guess the question is really can I eat whatever veggies I want in whatever amount I need?

There should be a TO list in you plan booklet, if you have one. I can't remember the list off the top of my head but I know they are all green veggies. Here are a few I remember:
Broccoli
Green Beans
Cuccumber
Asparagus
Lettuce

Hope this helps!

found it, thanks!

[QUOTE]I am confused about this.

my understanding is that you can sub a slimfast for the slimdowns and it is counted as a protein and starch, and the jetstarts count as a dairy and fruit.
So ..... that being said, slimfast is not comparable to the jetstart, but is for the slimdowns ..... right?

Merem - can you clarify?

Can anybody clarify this for me?

Karen--from what I understand (although I have no idea the reasoning behind it) the Jetstart equates to a Dairy and a Fruit. I used the EAS Myoplex Lite because it was comparable to the Jetstart--except more protein and less sugar. I thought about subbing yogurt and a fruit next time but I can't beat the 20 g. protein for long term hunger suppressant.

After my second TO of the Meltdown, I'm down to 171.5, w00t! Need to go update my July 4th ticker! I'm a slow loser, so I don't expect this number to change a whole lot in the next couple of weeks, but if I can keep it from going up, I'll be a happy girl!

megan - what does that translate to in weight lost on TO?

For this go around it was just about 2.5 pounds, which is pretty average for me. The most I've lost on a TO is 4 pounds, but I usually end up gaining one of those pounds back. I ate badly on Friday, and did TO on Sat/Sun, so I think if I'd stuck to plan on Friday, I might have lost more this time. Ehh, it is what it is, I guess. I'm just glad that I'm getting closer to the 160's at last!

2.5 is great. Keep up the good work

Great job, Megan!!

So, has anyone suceeded on this yet? I really want to do this, but does it work? Any one see any results??

Thanks!

I printed out something called the "results menu" awhile back, it was in a post on here, just can't remember. Any thoughts on that one too? Which should I do?
