Hi Everyone today is Monday, I go tomorrow for weigh-in. I am not looking forward to it because I had a very hard weekend. We had ice and sleet followed by snow. No going out to the gym and I just wasn't in the mood to do anything at home. I am reading the Book "Solutions" which is on the reading list from Opitfast Welcome…

Another trick I did was I took a bar of soap and had a friend do my out line on the mirror. I used the full length one in my bedroom. Only I can look at it and see how i am doing.

Hi Rachael and welcome to this group. You are doing fantastic. If you start to question how you are doing grab a 25# bag of potatoes and see how long you can carry it. I did this the last time I was in Kroger and let me tell you I couldn't hold on to it very long. That equates to how much 25 pound felt like on us.…

i have been doing the Opitfast for two months. I had surgery in March 2013. I have just begun to lose weight. I am enjoying the chocolate shakes. I have been adding cinnamon for flavoring and they really taste good. I have been trying to get my 100 ounces of water in. I usually add lemon juice to it to get it in. My…

Hi I am new here as well. I have been on Opitfast for a while now. I know that you have to drink 100 Oz of water a day, I thought I would never get it in. I took me two weeks to get it all in. But then I started losing a lot of weight. One week I lost 6.9 lbs. I did have a lot of potty breaks. It is so worth the drinking…
