I've been lurking for a couple days as I just finished reading Dr. Phil's book and was looking for a place where people are following his plan.

Today's the first day I'm trying to follow the plan loosely. It's kinda hard as I'm a "food mixer" and for now it seems like you have to eat food separately. Does that make any sense other than to me ? I'm afraid I'm going to end up having more servings of something because of how I eat things.

I bought the book two weeks ago and I've been trying to implement the mental/mind things and begin exercising again before beginning the food plan.

Anyway, I just wanted to say hi. I may not get to visit everyday (depends on how work's going during the day ) but wanted to peek my head in the door and say hello .

Hello! and welcome!

Hi!

Hi Lisa! I LOOOOOVE purple too! The diet really does get easier...I promise. I was very confused in the beginning too. Just keep using that mental picture of your plate and split it into 4 sections...1 section for protein...1 for nonstarcy veggies (or 2 if you don't have your fruit)...and 1 starch. What has really helped me alot is asking other people what they are eating on a daily basis...you can get alot of ideas and help from it!

Thanks for the welcome everyone!

Woo hoo .. another purple lover .

I love purpel too...!!!

LOL I meant purple.... yikes I can't spell!
