    I am not sure if it is safe to join in this late in the game...but I would like to join anyway. I will say that I am starting at 52 and would like to be around 42 by Halloween. And, I wanted to take a better look at those Bob Harper recipes you posted. They look good!!

    Happy Monday! :smile:

    Never too late to start. Its just about the motivation and inspiration too focus on just the next 31 days! Yes, take a look at the Bob Harper recipes. I love his show and find him so motivating to me. Good luck! Turn on your Beast Mode!

    I'm gonna try. I'm just starting my weight loss journey. I'm afraid I'm not very confident. I have an autoimmune disorder and I've been steadily gaining weight for the last 3 years. But, I have to start somewhere. My stats are embarrassing so I may wait to do that. But I will try to check in. Thanks for any support you can give.

    Never be afraid to make a positive change. i hope that we can all motivate you! Yes starting is the hardest part, but as the qoute says "A year from now you would have wished you started today!" I wish you the BEST of LUCK and its not about the number you loose in the next 31 days but the accountability you do for yourself. Best WISHES

    Some more meal Ideas. http://www.fastmetabolismdiet.com/diet/

    The best way to rev up your sluggish metabolism is to eat, and eat a lot. How could eating a lot help you lose weight? The secret is to shake things up: Confuse it to lose it! By eating specific whole, nutritious, delicious foods on specific days, you’ll speed up your metabolism and get it burning again. And you’ll do it without going hungry or giving up your favorite foods. And never forget about exercise: If you want to truly optimize your metabolism, you have to get your body moving. It’s as simple as 30 minutes of exercise, three times a week.

    The 3-Phase Plan requires that you complete all three phases, every week for four weeks. Each day of each phase requires that you eat three meals and two snacks. You can always repeat the 28-day plan, or even just a week or two of the plan if you find your metabolism needs

    How does the Diet work?
    Eat your way to a thinner you! On The Fast Metabolism Diet you’re going to eat a lot, and still lose weight. What you’re not going to do is count a single calorie or fat gram. Instead, you’re going to rotate what you’re eating throughout each week according to a simple and proven plan carefully designed to induce precise physiological changes that will set your metabolism on fire.
    •PHASE ONE (Monday-Tuesday): Lots of carbs and fruits
    •PHASE TWO (Wednesday-Thursday): Lots of proteins and veggies
    •PHASE THREE (Friday-Saturday-Sunday): All of the above, plus healthy fats and oils
    •Repeat for four weeks!

    Haylie Pomroy has helped countless clients lose up to 20 pounds in just 4 weeks –all through the fat-burning power of food. Hailed as “the metabolism whisperer,” Haylie reminds us that food is not the enemy, it’s the rehab needed to rev-up your sluggish, broken-down metabolism and turn your body into a fat-burning furnace.

    I'm a little intimidated. Been looking at all the posts and everyone is so much smaller and in better shape than me. I will try but I may be in the wrong group.

    That is a LOT of #'s by Halloween.

    To those joining this- make sure you're being realistic about your goals.

    Agreed those joining late may want to shoot for more like 5 lbs or 8 lbs (maybe)

    But in the long run this more to be held accountable for the next 30 days now and to focus on the month of October and NOT the big picture of what we may want to loose.
