Ruth, Today is my day 1. I was going to start tomorrow, but I decided to bite the bullet! I've kept myself very busy today so I don't think about food. Now that the day is winding down... I just want to snack!! I have become the snack queen. I am hoping this will kick me in the butt and get me back on track! Diane

YAY RUTH!!! :clap I am starting the 5 day plan TODAY!!!! I researched it and I think it's a great idea!!! You all have done so good and I have enjoyed reading your posts. I too have been stuck since May...I only have 10lbs to go so it's very frustrating...but I think the turning point for me was that I have started eating WAY more...I ate an entire serving of lasagna for goodness sakes! Let's not even talk about the snacking or the "slider" foods...that is all I eat. Wish me luck...figure I will start on the weekend and get the hardest part over with before heading back out to work and having to deal with people... Hey, how did you all handle cooking for the family while on it? Did you just opt out? That is what I'm thinking...DH can handle it right? Trish

Oh Kat, he is just adorable - I melted when I saw his pics. How can you resist not squeezing and cuddling and eating him Those gorgeous eyes and oh my curls. Proud granny you muct be. Thanks for sharing him with us.
