I wish I was a 8-10... maybe one day soon .. I hope.

Other than quit smoking this is probably the most difficult thing to do...it takes faith and willpower and if you are diligent then in the long run, you'll make it. Keep posting and do things that motivate you, set 'mini-goals' and rewards yourself (not usually with food) and importantly, read up on nutrition and what your body needs and expects-the more knowledgable you are the more you will be able to make sound decisions.

My Phen is due to be delivered today - hopefully it will be of good quality and not some bogus meds...but as of last Friday (Dec 30), I decided to start this on my own while I waited for my Phen. I'm pleased with the progress so far - it sure has been tough in the evenings though - sitting and listening to my tummy growl and feeling hungry. But, I drink a lot of water (somewhere I read you should drink 1/2 of your weight in ounces of water a day) and am staying with the salads, fruits, vegi's and poultry or fish. I love carbs, so I do allow some of these in my diet, but I'm very cautious about the portion -- sometimes it's just the taste of a potate that you need and not the entire 10 pound bag :-)

Everyone have a great day ---'

Phen came in yesterday, so today is my first day with it. Will post later what I think -- and if it feels like the real deal. (this came from Customhrt). I also finally (after about 3 wks) rec'd an email from Dragon -- my order with them shipped. So, I'm anxious to see the difference in the 2 different orders, especially because Dragon was twice what I paid at Customhrt.

I guess I missed the coffee/caffine thing, and I've had 3 cups of coffee so far. I also take a diuretic daily, so should I not take that or wait or what?? confused...

The important thing to remember is no food should be a 'no no' as if you eat the same stuff over and over you will get bored and then be likely to cheat and undo the good work you have tried your upmost to achieve.

Variety is the key, that way you have things to look forward to, and should reducen the chance of cheating.

I have one day a week where I eat junk as it keeps me focused for the rest of the week as I know I have it to look forward to .
