Hi there. I have a lot to lose as well and have the same number of containers. Once you get started after a week or so, it wont seem so overwhelming. The key is planning. You need to plan what your gonna have during the day. So this morning for breakfast I had 2 eggs (1 red), oatmeal (1 yellow), 1/2 blue (shredded cheese), and a tsp of sesame oil. Lunch will be grilled flank steak (2 red) and 3 cups veggies (3 green). My afternoon snack will be a smoothie with 2 fruits (2 purple), protein powder (1 red), 8 oz unsweetened almond milk (1 yellow), 2 tsp peanut butter with orange container filled with a mix of chia and flax seed. Dinner - i will be out tonight so have left : 2 red; 2 yellow, 3 green; 2 purple, 1/2 Blue, 3 tsp.

you can replace 1 yellow container 3 times a week with 16 oz unsweetened almond milk. I use 8 oz and have it 6 times a week instead.

in one of the other posts i mention an app that i use by FatChicken Studios, called 21 Day Fitness Tracker, v1.2 (4+). you should give it a look

I too have issues with this and feel quite overwhelmed. I added the above app before I started and it really helps.

Love the work outs! I'm not too keen on the containers either. I'm allowed 2 yellow containers. And I find that I'm friggin starving by mid afternoon and I'm eating! So I think it really depends on your metabolism. I know they say add a veggie or a fruit, but that still isn't enough sometimes.

im on day three and i was not happy the first 2 days lol. i was hungry adn my head hurt. but my coach (my bestie) was saying that i need to give my stomach time to shrink.

I know, it's hard to get past those hunger pangs at first!

My planter faciatiis has reared its ugly head and so no exercise videos for 3 weeks. Exercise Bike only.

I know. I hate the exercise bike - with a really passion I tell you. ugh. I may have to sneak in a video or 2.

No doubt KCBE! That's awesome! I'm a stay at home mom, so I I just keep the veggie tray loaded! Always have fruit on hand. This works great for kid's snacking too.

That is amazing Kcbe!
