I have been in twice and am going in the third time today. Yes, that's every day so far. But the people there are so nice and so supportive! It's great! Given my family history of diabetes and heart disease, they are doing blood tests to make sure I am good to go with blood sugar and all that fun stuff.
Today I began a "cleansing diet" that is for the first 3 days on program. Basically all I am allowed to eat are oranges, eggs (2 a day maximum), red meat, and green vegetables (but not ALL green vegetables!). I am only allowed to use certain spices on these foods - this is to cleanse my body of carbohydrates, sugars, and starches. I am feeling good already, and I've only had my first meal!
This morning I am going in to learn about the actual diet, so I will update you more on that later. But I did weigh myself this morning and so far I have lost 2 pounds. Wooo!
Oh, and did I mention that they tell you when you will reach your goal weight? I have 149 pounds to lose, and they base the date on losing 3 pounds a week. According to this, it will take me 50 weeks to reach my goal weight, which puts me at August 25th, 2011! Yes, next summer I SHOULD be able to wear a 2 piece swimming suit, maybe showing some belly? :) We will see! VERY exciting!
I will definitely have to update this more often, because I know this is it, and I want to remember every detail!
See you soon!
**Correction: I just weighed in for my class and I have lost 3 pounds since Wednesday! :)
Erin we have your back baby!
