I just started this program today, but I don't like following rigid plans. I am definitely going to keep up with the calories i have been taking to lose this 10 pounds so far.

For those of you who is not using the meal plan, have you still seen good results? If not, I will just stick to the meal plan cause I do not want to cut myself short. But it seems like her plan is expensive and hard to follow.

Please let me know what results you are seeing with/without the meal plan! :) Thanks!

    I followed the Kickstart meal plan for the pone week and then have been doing my own thing since that. I am getting great results without following the meal plan provided. I try to eat the freshest foods possible but do have protein bars on travel days. I have lost 7 pounds and 1 pants size and just finished up week 3.

    I hope this helps!

    I just finished week 3 too! I am not following the meal plan at all. Mostly because I need to eat more calories because I'm breastfeeding still and I really just don't want to buy all the ingredients for her stuff. We eat pretty healthy and fresh. I have lost 5 pounds so far and a pant size as well. I'm expecting to lose a lot slower than other people since I'm nursing. My husband has lost over 10 pounds so far.

    I am not following the meal plan either. I am on a restricted eating plan due to an ulcer and signs of Crohns disease found in February.

    The meal plan is way too restrictive for me. I eat about 1500-1600 calories a day. I started 10 days ago and I've lost about 2 lbs. I want to lose 15 in my 12 weeks :). I'll probably measure between phases
