Hello Everyone, :hii:

I have sat back and read these posts for about a month now. You are all an inspiration. :clapping: Anyone wanting a buddy add me to their list, we could all use the extra support.. I started on Tuesday 9/23.. And I am feeling fine so far, hard to believe it has taken me this long to jump in. I have had a lot of changes in my life over the past 3 years, got a divorce after 20 years, gaining 30 lbs, lost my business, lost my house, the list goes on and on. But....... I have been with a wonderful man for 2 years now and we have set the date for May next year to be married. Got a good job and I've been catching up on my finances. I think I'm finally on the road to recovery.. I know my weight coming off will be the icing on the cake. :praying:

I just wanted to tell anyone out there who is thinking about jumping in but hasn't. Go For It! There are 6 people in my office who have been on or finished doing this diet.. If I hadn't seen it for myself I wouldn't of believed how well this system works. 2 women have lost over 70 lbs. 2 guys have lost over 100 lbs. And Deb (Deb4292) and I are doing this now, Deb is 2 weeks ahead of me and has already lost 12lbs.. I can't believe this diet is still not known by all. I have told about 10 people about it so far and every heavy person I see I want to tell them about it (of course I don't, but I would like to).

I have been reading Joy's messages each day waiting with her and everyone else on her first monthly weigh in. I was so excited for her. She did such a great job... With that being said I stepped on the scale and then had my boyfriend hide it till 10/21.. The scale sets my mood for the day and I don't want any other thoughts getting into my way of staying on target and not cheating.

Well I just want to say thank you everyone for your stories, I look forward to talking with you and getting the encouragement to keep going forward. I plan to fit into a skinny sexy dress for my wedding. :wedding: And with this program I know I will do it..

Yay Sandy!!! Congratulations on getting your life all straightened out. Sometimes we have to go through tough times, but they only make us wiser and stronger. You are going to be so gorgeous at your wedding! And good job on hiding your scale! I really think it will make it easier on you.

Hi Sandy!

Welcome to 1PD! It sounds like everything is coming together for you, and so will your weight! I totally love Dr. Cohen and 1PD - it is truly changing my life, every single day. Sticking to the program for me has been easy, I love that we are eating all natural foods and don't have to take a ton of pills or shakes. We're real people, eating real food, and having REAL results!!

Thank you for your kind words, too, I think I was more excited to finally have the chance to participate in this board than I was to actually get my program because every here is so amazingly supportive, motivating, and inspirational!

And yes - to all the lurkers out there - don't wait any longer, sign up for 1PD TODAY!

See you guys are sooooooo helpful with your comments..

Thank you..

Today is day 4 and I am loving it. That bloading in my stomach is actually gone, and I think I jumped out of bed this morning instead of dragging my ass out. :applause:

Thank you for the vote of confidence, I am definately here for the long haul.

I have made my dinners and lunches for the weekend already, just so I have no excuse to stray..

I know I can do this! Thank you again for all your support! :love7:

Hi Sandy,

I'm new, too. I have been reading the posts for about 3 weeks and that is what sold me on the idea that this diet works! I am so excited for the pounds to come off both of us!:party1: You will be looking awesome at your wedding.:wedding:

Welcome,
Jen{boing}

Hello Everyone,

Today was my mom's bday. I was the one who had to make the stuffed shells ( I didn't even feel the need to taste them as they were cooking). We went to my sisters house she made the meatballs and bought fresh bread and made cup cakes.

But............ I did well brought my chicken and peppers, onions and crackers plus my an apple for dessert. I didn't feel bad at all infact... My boyfriend kept complaining how much he over ate, and that his stomach was hurting. I just smiled and kept thinking how much I hated that stuffed feeling. I did great and I'm proud of myself. I think those cravings are starting to fade! :dance:

Shasha you can bet on seeing some pictures when that day comes.. I'm going to show off my new bod!
