Default Started this diet

Hi I started the you on a diet last friday. I have taken off 5 lbs in 1 week and 1/2 inch in the waist and I have never felt better. The first few days I was so tired and barely making it but today I don't know what it is but I think It might be the salmon and spinach salad I ate for dinner but I feel good. I feel like that heavy fog has been lifted. I'm not tired but actually alert for the first evening in a long time. I llike this feeling I hope it keeps up. I have read the book on audio cd but have not gotten the book yet.
I hope I can stick to this. Good luck to all of you.

Mary - welcome - glad to hear from another person who's loving this diet!

Please come join us on the Support thread for our daily chatter. We love YOU:bies!

Debylynne - the YOU: program is great - it's a bit restrictive, but once you get used to that, it's really no big deal, and the results are wonderful! Those of us here who have been on it since January have seen very consistent results - and have lost anywhere from 20-40# since starting. Pretty good for 4 month's work. I encourage you to read the book and join us!
Cindy

I can't believe the energy I have after just one week. I have read the book on audio cd but haven't been able to afford to buy the written book yet.

Friday 05/04/07
Weight 244
Waist Inches 41

Friday 05/11/07
Weight 237
Waist Inches 40

I have lost 7 lbs and 1 inch in the waist.
I lost the size of a baby. You don’t think 7lbs is much weight but it is. It’s a lot easier to walk without those extra pounds.


Friday 05/18/07
Weight 234
Waist Inches 39

I can’t believe in 2 weeks I have lost 10 lbs and 2 inch in my waist.
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

I haven’t had to starve. I’ve just been eating a lot of whole wheat, salads, and only oil and vinegar on salads, turkey, chicken, nuts, bannanas, berries, vegetables, and lots of water. and I still get chocolate. and ounce of dark chocolate a day.

Congratulations Mary!

That's what is SO great about this diet - it seems easy at times, and you don't have to go hungry and you still lose weight!

I have had this book for a few months~I listen to Dr. Oz on XM and thought what he had to say was pretty much on~I suppose I should get to reading on the book! Sounds like many of you are catching on and dropping some weight~
WTG~keep up the good work!!
