Great to have you BeeMarieG! I am so glad that people are getting on the BFC bandwagon with us! I usually try to find a friend or neighbor nearby to diet with but not this time. Since my husband and I are both doing it, I sort of want it to be sort of private around the 'hood. That said, it is nice to have someone to bounce idea off of and share successes and struggles with.

Welcome Christine! I friended you and we can support each other. Anyone doing BFC can friend me, please. I need all the support I can get.

My name is Danielle, and I'd like to lose 50 lbs. I got a great kick start the first week and lost 5 lbs. Then, the weekend happened. I'm on this site to hold myself accountable, keep my food journal, track my progress and support my friends. I'm so glad to be here and glad to know you all!

I am back! I have been in Alabama with my daughter for a three day swim meet. That means three days of sitting in the stands bored with nothing to look forward to but what we will be eating later. I amazed myself at how close I stayed to the plan! We even went to the kids favorite burger joint and I had a yummy loaded burger without the bun! While at the meet, I brought my own La Croix drinks and cheese snacks. I have to admit that I got a little fast and loose by the last night and didn't do much investigating before I ordered but tried to stay close to the BFC idea. The end result of the weekend? I lost about a half of a pound!! Glad to be home!

Welcome all the new people! Feel free to add me as a friend.

cstanesic- Glad you made it through the weekend and did good! Super proud of you!

I am LOVING this way of eating and my sugar cravings are gone completely which is HUGE for me. I am down 11 pounds total now. Woohoo!!

I am still following the BFC plan - can't call it a diet as it has become a way of life. I lost 35 lbs since August 2011 and am keeping off - down to size 34 pants from 38! Let me know if anyone needs advice!

Everything here is rolling along. We had a weekend where we spent a lot of time sitting around a place with traditional concessions. I tried very hard to plan ahead and bring drinks and snacks and it went very well. We even went to Waffle House with the kids late on Saturday and ate to plan. The chef at WH had to ask three times if I REALLY wanted a burger with no bun. "Your saying a burger on a plate?" BTW, the burger was really good!

We are doing Fast Track and I do not yet count sugars and carbs because, theoretically, we should not be having any. I know that green beans, all potatoes and carrots are big no-nos. Also onion is used sparingly. Most other vegis are okay. I hope that helps a little.

I started the diet last sunday and I've already lost 8 pounds Its brilliant! I have at least 50 pounds to lose and I expect somewhen it'll level out to 2 pounds ish a week but I'm thrilled!! I can still have the foods I love and I can still have some carbs but its just cutting down. None of my mates believe its an actual diet as I still have crisps (in strict moderation!!) but they're low carb, sugar so it doesnt affect my weightloss, love it!
