My name is Lacey and I am married with four children, ages 9, 7, 6, and 18 months. I have been struggling with my weight all my life. When I was a kid I would dramatically increase in weight during the winter and in the summer I would drop 40 lbs (resulting in stretch marks) from eating a healthy breakfast, a slim fast for lunch, and a healthy dinner with a slim fast. I would do all this with walking 9 times around my apartment complex every day. Since I'm an adult with children, that diet no longer becomes possible because I find myself too busy to plan time to go out walking and I focus too much on my kids so I don't feel that eating is that important. I usually go all day without thinking about breakfast or lunch for myself and then I eat bigger portions for dinner. I heard about this diet yesterday and thought I'd give it a try. Yo-yo dieting doesn't scare me because I've been doing it all my life. I would like to lose 100- 120 lbs. and I feel that eating consistently throughout the day in smaller portions will shrink my stomach so that I don't have to eat so much. I plan to repeat this diet 3 days on and 4 days off as many times as I can, while using myfitnesspal to keep track on the days that I am off. I did find sites that offered substitutions for this diet. I do not like grapefruit, beets, or cauliflower so I will be subbing oranges, carrots, and broccoli. My menu also did not have anything except meat and string beans for dinner on day 1. The people on that site lost an average of 7 lbs. in the first 3 days. I look forward to learning more about all of you.
