Oh Yeah!...I fit into a size 12 pair of pants (05-13-09). My clothes are fitting differently, no need to use safety pins for my shirts (to close those unsightly pick-a-boo openings) and I don't feel bloated ....I am really doing it! Weighing in six pounds lighter, family and friends are taking notice; I have inspired a few of them to get moving with their own weight loss. Below I have outlined my meal plan for May 13th-16th.

OMG! jury duty all day Monday; sitting with a room full of strangers was painful. The state clerk informed everyone that our options for lunch were an array of fast food joints located on the main strip and/or five vending machines at the back of the room. I don't think so! I am focused now....I worked too hard all week to get to this point. I have learned that the key to staying on track is having a game plan and being prepared. Monday morning I made sure I packed plenty of snacks and water......I survived the day.
Tuesday didn't work out as well as Monday; back to back meetings at work.... I did not start eating until late in the day. I was starving and practically inhaled all my snacks, lunch, and half of my dinner by five o'clock. Not a good idea and by seven I was hungry. I went to bed early to combat the hunger pains.
