I have been reading these post for the past few days and truly feel like I know you. My roommate and I are doing this diet together. The first day I admit I cheated (had a couple crackers), I was feeling beyond hungry. Yesterday was a little better, but I had to constantly be drinking water/coffee/tea/etc. Today is day three, I am so looking forward to actually chewing food. The hunger is subsiding, thank god. I never want to feel hunger like that first day again. lol
I am so thankful that I have my roommate and all of you to support me through this. Good luck to all

Welcome to the board...the first 3 days can be rough, however, you musn't cheat. Sometimes it is all mental the hunger - we miss eating. Push through it, be faithful with your rotations - be faithful to yourself. You have the potential to lose 15-20 your first 12 days if you don't cheat. The first phase the weight melts off! THIS DIET IS TEMPORARY. Keeping that mental attitude truly helps! You can do it. There are so many successes with this program. It takes willpower to succeed; however, if you want the weight off you will need to work for it. It comes off fast. Remember this is TEMPORARY. Once you get to 165 and follow the maintenance program you will be thankful!! Keep fighting and telling yourself you deserve this and you are worth!! Wishing you and your roommate success. Glad you got a buddy. I too have buddies doing the program, it helps. Keep fighting!!

Hi my name is Maria Janet but everyone calls me Mj. Today is my first actual day with the beads (got them last night) and any suggestions are more than welcome. I just had a baby (my 3rd) 8 weeks ago and I need to loose 50lbs...yikes!!!!

Hi to all my brothers and sisters in arms!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL It is April 1st today so I venture out into the world of dieting I ask for your support. I found most of your stories inspirational and hope that I can inspire you all as well. I will keep you updated. So Day 1 let the games begin!!!!!!

Hey Everyone!!! Has anyone tried the accu trim beads? I am currently doing accu weight but it is kind of expensive.. looking for alternatives

I started a form of accuweight yesterday. It has a 9 day cleanse... starting first two days with 3-5 apples for two days, then to dairy for two and then to vegetables, dairy, vegetables and back to apples. So far I am into the second day. It was tough preparing dinner for the family. Otherwise I could barely get down the 3 apple minimum. This is going to be tough but I need to lose 50 pounds.

Hi MariaJanet,

I just started also.. also need to lose 50 pounds.. I see you want to get to 125 I only want 140 but maybe if it works quick enough i will venture to 125! Good luck.. look forward to seeing you on the blog.

Hey guywiththebeads are you finished or still trying to lose? I go to the Suffern office do you go to that one or New City?

Hello fellow beaders:
My name is Glenda and I started accu weight on March 17. I live in South Jersey and they just opened an office in Cherry Hill on March 15. Here are my stats. Actually started with the milk day on Friday March 18. Starting weight was 238.0. weigh in on the 24th and my weight was 222.8. weigh in on the 31th was 217.3 That 20.7 lbs in two weeks. It was hard, very hard, but I did it. For some strange reason the start of the third week is even harder. For the first time I cheated. Yesterday, I had two pieces of bacon and two small pancaks with Walden Farms blueberry syrup (yummy). I feel so guilty about this, that I had to tell to tell someone, thus this forum. Does anyone know if this throw me off so badly that I will not lose any weight this week? I feel that I am a failure since I was so strong and did not cheat the first two weeks. My desire is to lose 85 lbs.
Let me know what to expect on this journey? Has anyone ever actually gained durning a week and did not cheat? This is by far the fastes I have ever lost weight. I have been on every diet known to man. Spent my children's college fund to finance the diets. LOL I truly beleive this is the one for me. Waiting to here from you guys

Nights are my problem also because I used to go to the gym for spin class and did not get home until close to 730 then had to make dinner, do homework and bath with kids. Now I can't do that and have more free time. I guess log on and read posts about success and go to bed early LOL

hi sweetza
i am doing it in Suffern Ny (rockland also).. i would appreciate any recipes..its only the begining of day 2 for me.

Hey try nondairy creamer in your coffee (in frozen food section) my dr. says its ok

it's Monday back in the office and now it seems harder. I just finished two days of the apple cleanse and now I start dairy.
One of my attorney's just brought a tray of ruggelach cookies in...

I am hungry.. One hour until I can eat my yogurt. I just keep saying.. Swimsuit season is coming. None of my clothes fit so its not an option to fail I don't want to buy a whole new larger wardrobe...

I can do this I can WIN.

Good job skinnyladee! I am reading all the posts looking for strength.

Where is everyone... I need some help.

are you still on it? How are you doing? I found the second day to be worse then the first. Now I just switched from my apple cleanse to dairy. I am hoping this day is a little easier.

Good luck.
