Great Job Girl. Arienna beat me but I agree, I am into my third week and the hunger pains have greatly diminished. In just 21 days it becomes a habit right? I feel it already is as I have shifted to the common question every time I eat. "Is it worth it" "Can I fit it is and still eat other foods later in the day?" I am driving my wife nuts because I am obsessing about my structured meals. But it is working. How do I know? She sees it in my face already. But I wholeheartedly agree, it is a great feeling when during your busy day you notice a change such as a shirt fitting looser or, for me, I am constantly pulling my pants up. I am in such a good mood now it is benefitting everything i do. In addition to the fact that I am sticking to 2000 calories, tomorrow I am diving into a cardio program. Ugh but it needs to be done. I want the weight off quicker. Put in an hour and get a credit of 750 calories. I like that. That will give me room to enjoy one of my favorite meals out one night. Sloppy, deep fried sweet and sour chicken with pork fried rice. its bad but when I do I will get the lunch size. I used to eat that 4-5 days per week for lunch. I want it but I don't crave it anymore. It almost make me sick thinking about putting deep fried food into my body now.

It blows me away that I am actually thinking this way. I have done virtually nothing with my body for 25 years. After failing miserably with Nutrisystem and going broke while doing the plan, I stopped. So much for that idea. That was four years ago. This time though I am past the fear of dieting and managing my intake. I can do it. I think of it every time I reach behind and pull my 44/34 pants up because the are drooping. The laughter I have is a new thing. I am feeling good for the first time in a long time.

Great Job!!! This site does work when we use it!!!!

There is an accountability in using this website. I love it. As a former athlete I always would do what the coach told me regardless. That's what you did as an athlete. I feel the biggest key is to stick to the 6 meals plan. It helped me get into it and even though I have forgone the morning snack I am amazed how fairly easy it has been to feel satisfied with the limited calories. It has had a mental effect on my way of thinking for the positive. I KNOW I am going to get down to 250. There is not a single shred of negativity in this program. And any that is there, it is easily rectified with the support of my fellow myfitnesspal members. This is a great service. I am so happy to have found it.
