hi, I'm new to Sonoma, too, old WW veteran.
Started Sunday. Picked up a copy at Kroger, on sale...$14.97!!

I really can't say I'm losing. I'm sneaking a few no-no's in but very few!!
No white bread, just fruit that I already had in the house and don't want to throw out.

I do a quick calorie check before bed and have stayed below 1300 so I guess I just need to buckle down to the plan. It's like I'm doing Wave 2 first (without the added veggies) but no weight loss since Sunday.

All you guys have done great so I KNOW the diet works.
Are you also losing on Wave 2??
tks for listening!!

I usually weigh myself twice a week since I'm too anxious to wait until Tuesdays (my "official" weigh in day, for me anyhow). And I've been on wave 2 for about a week and I've lost about the same amount as wave 1, about 2 1/2 pounds. I've really uped my exercise from being a total couch potato to 30 min 5x a week w/ weights and so I may have gained a lot of muscle, accounting for my "low" weight loss. Really good for midprogram, but for the start you usually loose a little more. I'm not concerned really.

The program doesn't concern itself too much with calories, but I do know the first day I was on it I logged my food and it said I consumed around 1200 calories, but I was totally on program and satisfied for the day. I wouldn't worry too much about the calories though, they try to make it pretty easy for us

Hi - just starting today. I also go to WW which I like for the group support & portion control. Think both together will work fine.

Hi,

I'm gearing up to start the Sonoma Diet. I've done lots of research and it really seems like it would be easy to live with.

This week I'm focusing on getting used to drinking enough water and starting my exercise program. I'm going to buy the book and get my foods together to start on Monday.

I'm trying to do things in baby steps so that I don't get overwhelmed and discouraged. You all are so inspirational and supportive. I'm really looking forward to getting to know you!

Good luck everyone. It's made me feel that I've not been on a diet for the past 3 weeks now.

Come back and post soon :-)
