Hi ladies,

I come in here often and get recipes and look around but I don't talk much. Well I just wanted to tell all of you thank you. Today is my first successful week of Phase I and I feel awesome. All of my cravings are gone and I am slowly learning to listen to my body and enjoy my new lifestyle.

I would have not made it on eggs alone. Having all of these recipes really helped. I get easily frustrated and would have stopped but I made it and just one more week to go. I hale absolutely no sugar craving even carbs are like ewwwwww!!! We had a Christmas party the other day and I brought my lunch and snacks as usual. I wondered how I would fair but I was able to sit in that room with all those "goodies" and not have one desire to partake in any of it.... Yeah me!

I have even gotten my boyfriend to eat what I eat and he is loving eating "healthier". I still have to cook him "regular" food but he gets excited about what we are having for dinner now a days.

I have managed to avoid the scale also.....that is a huge problem for me. I do my official 2wk weigh in on the 19 ( Japan time) and I am so excited. I feel good, and I look good.

Thank all of you ladies for just being here and constantly sharing your thoughts it has really helped me get through that first week...

1 down and 1 to go....let's get it Phase 1....

It's nice to meet you and great to read about your success. This is a hard time of year to START a new plan, good for you doing so well at the Christmas party!

I hope to see your posts in the daily threads.

, Mommy2bgtwins, and congratulations for a successful first week on Phase 1! I know you'll be very pleased when you step on that scale on the 19th. The first week is the hardest, but you're halfway there and soon you'll be ready to start introducing Phase 2 foods into your plan.
We look forward to hearing from you often, come and join us in the Daily!

Nice to meet you. Glad things are going along so well - it only gets easier and better

Welcome! Congratulations on your success, so far!

Fantastic! Glad you're doing so well. I couldn't have done it without this forum either. I agree this time of year is the hardest time to start. Hope you continue to do so well!

Congrats! I like you are more of a lurker. However, your positive energy was refreshing this morning. If you keep your chin up as you have you'll be just fine!

Best Wishes..

Welcome Mommy and congrats on completing a clean first week of phase one! The worse part is almost behind you. Hang in there and come back often. I could never do what I'm doing without all the help that I get from these ladies either.
