Newbie!

Hi All! My package is on the way and should be here Friday! I plan on starting Monday 4/6. Figured I'd make it easy on myself and start after Easter so my stepmom doesn't feel like she has to cook special foods for me at Easter dinner. Anywho, I'm looking to lose 30 lbs. I'm a professional cake decorator and run a licensed home bakery. I tend to nosh on cake scraps instead of having meals and I never want to stop working to excercise. So I'm hoping the containers will help with not only portion control, but also guide me in making meals ahead. Then I don't have to worry about stopping work for too long to prepare a meal. And the 30 minute workouts will fit better into my busy schedule. My daughter wants to join me once she is home from college for the summer in May so by then I should be into round 2. Looking forward to joining everyone in this venture!

@cupcake570 I'm starting round 2 on Monday! I'm loving the containers. They've really made it easy for me to make sure I am not just eating what I like and what's easy/convenient. (I love cheese. Rarely reach for fruit.) I think it's great that your daughter wants to join you! I'll be doing the DVDs over and over again leading up to a trip in July.

My vacation is in July so I'd like to have at least half the weight lost by then. My daughter really doesn't need to lose weight but she's thinking about rejoining her college lacrosse team in the fall so she wants to get back in shape.

@cupcake570 Makes perfect sense to me and I'm sure your daughter will benefit from doing the DVDs. I'm currently using a different set from a different company and I can honestly say that I can't wait to get back to Autumn's workouts on Monday!
