Didn't post yesterday but, it was a good day. Got home pretty late from my 1st day back to the gym. I started up w/ step class. I really thought it was all levels but, I was mistaken when I met w/ the instructer. She suggested that if I got lost w/ steps or it was too quick for me...just slow it down a bit. Surprisingly....I did well.

Tonight was Aqua Sampler which we did tai chi. It was fun & I'm looking forward to the next class. Tomorrow I think I have kick boxing. Thankfully...this one I am sure is all levels. I have a feeling I'll be slowing down. hehe

Before I get to the gym though...going to weigh in & pick up more product. Has it really been a week?!

How is your exercising going??

I'm on the 800 calorie plan. I'm currently on week 5. May 31st will be 6wks on phase one then I think I'm going to move on. I'm still doing well on it except for being so hungry today! I had some dill pickles & that is helping.

Have you started the program? What phase are you doing??

I'm w/ the prepackaged foods. They aren't bad at all! At least I don't feel they are that bad. There are some bars that I have decided I will NOT get again. For some odd reason...I really enjoy the cream of chicken soup. I use more water than they suggest though. If I didn't...too thick for my taste. I'm not a tomato soup person so...can't help you on that one. I also find the vanilla & chocolate powder shakes to be better than the premixed. The colder the water....the better for the powder. I sometimes toss in a couple ice cubes. For the premixed shakes....I enjoy the cafe mocha & field berry! Put the premixed in the freezer for a couple hours & they are really good.

They do have appetite suppressants but, I opted out of that. I didn't find myself hungry w/ the 800 calories. Then again...I wasn't a big eater in the first place. Just ate wrong things so...gained weight.

Any other questions....feel free to ask. Hope I am being of some help to you.

Thankfully you don't HAVE to do the bars. They have other snack choices to pick from.

As for a place to look at all of the plans...I do not know of one. The best advice that I can give you about the plans is simply to go to the appointment & talk w/ the Doctor about it. The only reason that I say this is because they really do formulate a plan specific to you. I understand the confusion concern but, I don't want you to making a decision off what I say. I'm happy to talk about the program & try to answer questions but, what each plan entails...that is what your Doctor apt is for. :happy:

I also decided to go w/ CMWL because of the Doctor assistance. It isn't like the other Doctor programs I came across. I feel personally I am able to stick to this & the weekly weigh in helps to keep me grounded. Makes me be accountable to myself for my actions.

I hope this helps!

Sorry I didn't get back sooner. Been busy here.

Don't think about failing. Put your mind to it & stick to it. I know...easier said than done. Trust me. I have already been bad this week. I think I will continue for at least one more week & I'm sure I will be gaining on my weigh in Thursday. Just because of the holiday & me being hungry for more than what I have. We can get through this together. I may be ahead but, I'll still be here.

I have lost 10.5lbs. Think the bar under my name says 11lbs but, that is .5 off. hehe

That is what started me on the journey. I wanted to be healthy for my (at the time) boyfriend but, as of March 30...he is my fiancee. Now I want to be healthy for both of us & not just me. I want us to be have a long life together. I'm not losing just to look good for our wedding (it is motivation).

Again...easier said than done but, going to tell you don't be nervous. We can do this!!

Another day of being bad. Not as bad as I have been but, still bad. I skipped 2 foods so I was able to have some pizza w/ chips. Was it worth it? Perhaps not in the end but, at the time....it was SO worth it!!

Tomorrow is my workout day so shall see if that helps me on Thursday weigh in. For now...I must get things together & head to bed. Have to work tomorrow & not ready for it. Has been nice having a 4 day weekend!

Yeah...I'm doing better now. Weigh in went well. Lost another pound. I was able to go to the next phase but, I can also still use the liquid diet. It is all a good thing. Tonight I had shrimp. I'm going to be on the program until I lose my 100lbs so...as you can see I still have a bit to go. As I said though..I may be at another point of the program but, always here for help & support.

How did your appointment go?
