MY ADVICE.... Don't start living on carrots! :-) We found that as a 0 point food and we seriously ate bags and bags of carrots. I have not eaten a carrot to this day! Our favorite treat was the 1 point fudge bars!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16811721873775991035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26415331.post-43224742398711905902007-06-15T15:15:00.000-04:002007-06-15T15:15:00.000-04:00Doing this with friends you know must be a help in...Doing this with friends you know must be a help in these early days, you can learn together!

Some of them are a lot bigger than I expected and some are a lot smaller. 1 oz of shredded cheese is a lot. <BR/><BR/>Churlita ~ That is really good to hear. Our leader lost 100 pounds 4 years ago looks fantastic. I have by far the most weight to lose. About double what Funny Girl and Aria should lose put together. <BR/><BR/>Moonbeam ~Wow!! Thanks. I hope that I CAN be an ispiration to you and achieve my goal. It seems unfathomable at this point but who knows how I will feel a year from now. Hopefully considerably lighter.<BR/><BR/>Sizzle ~ It was hard to put that weight out there. No one ever guesses that I am that big. I carry most of it in my legs and butt. My stomach doesn't pooch out further than my breasts so it is deceiving.<BR/><BR/>Diva ~ Thanks. I appreciate every crossed finger I can get.<BR/><BR/>Reformat ~ I am glad that you loved it. I hope that I will love it too. At this point it has been amazingly easy. But considering that I have 34 points per day to chow my way through I am not hungry at all.<BR/><BR/>Mielikki ~ Thanks. I hope that I will take this and run with it. When I am able to run more than half a block without wheezing that is.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09995636108623685490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26415331.post-83090930935113516162007-06-15T13:11:00.000-04:002007-06-15T13:11:00.000-04:00Good for you Rachel.

I get so mad at myself when I think, why did I let myself gain that weight back. Instead I could have gone from that point and lost even more weight.<BR/><BR/>It's great that you are including family, friends and blogreaders to help you along your way. I will be here encouraging you every pound of the way!<BR/><BR/>I have low self-esteem, plus other problems in my life that cause me to "fall off the foodwagon" as I like to put it. I just have to wait until my mind is set to do it and take care of ME. I am so glad you are taking care of YOU. <BR/><BR/>You are inspiring me, to yet again, get off my duff and really put my mind to losing weight. You are truly an amazing woman!<BR/><BR/>I know you can do it, hang in there.Moonbeamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03017774936042314142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26415331.post-30287187466314685442007-06-15T11:05:00.000-04:002007-06-15T11:05:00.000-04:00Good for you.

Since you're doing this with friends, it might become pretty fun and challenging too! I wish you and your friends the best of luck! It's not an easy task to decide to go into a diet plan. It's not easy for me to keep to serving sizes either, but most of the time I do. It's definitely a challenge.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16103812856035857566noreply@blogger.com
