Still have a long way to go...

[Mandy]

I started the PD diet in late October. I was 233 then. Today, I'm 190.5. My goal weight is 133 or...whenever I'm happy with my body. ;) So, as the title suggests, I still have a long way to go. Anyways, I thought I'd post some pictures. I don't know if you can really tell much from them though.

Before:

Now:

After:
In Progress ;)

I hate pictures of myself....=/

Good luck to everyone else!

You look great! I've only been on for 19 days and I'm happy that I'm losing, but I've going to be flying out of town for 4 days. How do I stay on this when we will be staying in a hotel = no kitchen, no car. How do I do this?

Take your scale and get food from the Convience store. Cottage Cheese, Eggs and Tuna and have that for 4 days!

[PhyllisRis]

You could also buy a small, inexpensive cooler when you reach your destination and then use ice from the ice machine in the hotel to keep diet foods cooled. I know that Shawn would take a small George Foreman grill along with him on his business trips....maybe you could carry one of those with you along with your scale. Then you could actually do your cooking in your room. You could purchase some inexpensive cooking utensils when you buy that inexpensive cooler....
If you're flying and checking a bag you could pack the cooking tools (knife, cutting board, etc.) in that checked bag.
Use your imagination and YOU CAN DO THIS!!

Good ideas, Phyllis!!

My daughter and I are going out to visit my son at college in March. When booking a hotel, I made sure to get one with a mini-fridge. I plan to prep my meals for 2 days and take them with me in a cooler (it's a 3.5 hour drive).

This will be my first trip away from home on this diet. We'll see what challenges present themselves. yikes!

[PhyllisRis]

oh you're driving....that makes it easier!!! You can pack food to take along with you..even taking a cooler if need be. Just plan ahead and you'll do fine!!
Good luck!
