I didnt thikn I could do it either... but when you start to see results.. suddenly those carbs arent as enticing... they still look delicious.. but I have a goal in mind.. and I am determined.. however.. my bday is in 3 weeks.. you can be sure I will eat a piece of cake then!!!

Thats true though. SO what are you able to eat during the first phase? How are the other phases? Maybe I should really look into it. Did you get a book, or follow the online program?

I did get the book.. but I didnt read it cover to cover.. I skimmed it.. and read some stuff on the internet.. during phase one you have to eat veggies, protein, and good fat at every meal and snack 2-3 times a day... with nuts, reduced fat cheese, and what not.. the only sweet I allowed myself was sugar free jello...
Phase 2 is now until I reach my goal.. I integrate 1-3 servings of whole grain carbs a day, 1-3 servings of fruit a day, and 2-3 servings of dairy.. I really didnt take the dairy out but phase 1 still worked for me..
phase 3 is when you reach your goal.. its maintenance.. its so far away.. that I am not even getting into reading that section of the book yet :)...
