Hi, my name is Cara. I'm 34 year old Mom of 3. My kids are 3yrs, 18months, and 4 months (our surprise). I am homemaker who has a habit of putting the family first and not really taking care of herself. Unfortunately, its come to my realization, as I get bigger, I'm not able to give my family as much and soon I may not be…
I was planning to start sooner, but that didnt work out. What is wise, the basic plan when you excercise a lot or the turbo plan (dont want to risk having no energy) tweetyjf
I just bought the book and curious to know if you count calories or not? I know it gives general info but I am 325 lbs and average 1700 calories a day, sometimes less, sometimes more. I cannot imagine dropping to 1200/1500 PLUS exercise. I am thinking of 2000 on high carb days and 1500 on low carb days, plus my exercise.…
Hi all! I have been reading up on Chris Powell's Choose More, Lose More for Life. I am starting on Monday and need an accountability partner. It has always been hard for me to stick to a lifestyle change and I think someone that will go through the journey with me would help. As for a little about myself. I am a recent…

Also has anyone tried juicing any veggies? I'm familiar with juicing but you would normally include a fruit. Now I know on High Carb days this is not a problem but…
Hi all, I have a question about vegetables. Not sure if this is covered in the book but I didn't see it. Can you eat any veggies on low carb days? Even carrots? Thanks!
Hi all, I just joined the group today. Glad to have found a group devoted to this plan! Don't have the book yet, but I read the article in Woman's World this week and also did some reading on Chris' website. I'm 59 years old and weigh somewhere around 280, when I should weigh around 130. My daughter's getting married in…
Just wondering how many grams of protein you try to eat every day. Do you strive for an equal amount on both low and high carb days?
Hi everyone! Today is my first day of the classic cycle and I'm excited to start this plan! I was happy to find a group of others working the same program. I'm a 35 year old mother of two. Started my weight loss at 316 pounds and have lost 29 pounds so far through calorie deficit and exercise. I'm hoping this plan will get…
