haha I'll have to try that one! I taped a pic of my dress to the treadmill for added inspiration and I also have one in my office so I don't snack all day at work.

You're allowed a certain amount of proteins, starches, veggies, fats etc. per day and you record everything you eat in a food diary. Honestly, there is a lot of food and I have never been hungry while on the plan. The portions are totally reasonable and you eat often.

You have to go to the center 3 times a week to weigh in and have a nutritionist go over your food diary. Yes, it is a lot, but it keeps me accountable and I can't get away with cheating like I tried to do on WW getting weighed once a week!

another la weight loss bride to be here! i started in feb, lost 4lbs right away. but then i totally went downhill because i have such a hectic schedule. anyway as of today i am back on track and i feel great. once classes are over getting on that tredmill. it worked four years ago? how much did you loose? the only thing i hate is the whole 1/3 cup pasta lol I'm Italian that is unheard of lol. other than that i find it reasonable too. any good recipies you reccommend?

I lost 5 pound the first 10 days and I've lost 2 more since then. Next week, I'll be on the program for a month and I'll have my measurements done. My schedule has been awful as well and I haven't been as dedicated as I could have been. This week, I've really been on track, so we'll see what happens.
When I did the program 4 years ago, I lost 40 pounds. My life was much different then and I was able to fully focus on losing weight so it came off QUICK. Also, the program was much different and much more strict.
I hear you about the pasta!!! I was raised in an Italian family too and you get about 10 strands of spaghetti on tthis diet!! One recommendation is to use whole wheat pasta because you get 1/2 cup. Oooohhhhh exciting!! Also use spaghetti because you can stuff more of it into the measuring cup.
Definitely pick up the recipe book. It was way overpriced, but I've gotten a lot of great ideas from it.
One more thing-- check out the vegetarian protein options. You can have 2 cups of beans as a protein. Its very filling and goes well with the 1/3 cup of pasta haha

wow you are doing great! i think i lost 2 lbs so far but i havent gone to get weighed. i think ill go on sat morning. 40lbs thats great, my goal is 30 actually. great tip on the veggie proteins i will check them out. and im thinking about the cookbook!!! Thanks any other advice send it on down. let me know how everythign goes. maybe we could be like la weight loss buddies keep each other on track!

We could totally be LA buddies!! It would be nice to have someone to keep each other motivated.
Yeah, losing the 40lbs was amazing, but 20 of them are back on me so I'm glad to be on the program again. I'm also exercising this time and just started the Buff Brides workout so we'll see how it goes. Are you doing exercise too?

I ate like a beast yesterday and I'm really feeling crappy today. I'm doing the 2 day juice diet to get back on track. You can do it every 2 weeks if you need a jumpstart. My epics are in a few weeks so I have to be really good!

Another tip!! Since some of the protein portions are really kinda big-- like 8oz of chicken-- so split it up. Like have 4 oz as a mid-morning snack and the rest at lunch. It keeps your metabolism going.
