How long did you precondition before going to your 1st menu? My counselor told me I could start the menu tomorrow, after 3 days of preconditioning, or could wait a couple more days. I'm anxious to start and think I will start tomorrow, just wondered what is typical. Did you lose much/anything during preconditioning?

I don't think I lost that much during preconditioning. The main thing for me was the transition from LOTS of diet coke, caffeine, sweets.....the week eased me in for the first 4 days. But we're all different...you may be just fine going ahead. Perhaps not as many habits to break as I did?

Porchmom-I'm with you on the diet coke!! That's gonna be the hardest for me, I think. But, I do have lots of other bad habits too. I've done nothing but eat since my consultation in early December! Thanks for the response. You've done great- impressive.

I'm a newbie too. I did the program once before (8 years ago). I was anxious to finish up on the preconditioning and move on to the meta slim program. The first four days are pretty restrictive. I hate salad, and there are lots of salads and some of the supplements take some getting used to. I'm just trying to power through the first four days, one day at a time. But I was ready to get started before I lost my big kick of motivation.
