 rn2sing 12 years ago | I just started this program yesterday (1/20/13). I’ve never had the struggles that I’m facing now with my weight. Menopause, I’m 52yrs old, is making it very difficult to lose weight. I find myself craving sweets (something I’ve never craved before) and lots of fatty foods. Belly fat is my biggest challenge. Wish me luck! |
| LynnM 12 years ago | awayagain4, I saw that you want to make bread, I don’t know if you know this or not, but I don’t think you can substitute for the sugar in bread, the yeast needs the sugar to rise. I saw someone else ask about this in the recipe section and thought I should mention it….. Way to go every one, I was thrilled to see I have kept my 10 lb loss, now have to keep going for another 10! Great to hear what everyone is doing 🙂 |

 8ball 12 years ago | I started the program on Jan. 3, looked at all the menue items that I could , read everything that was on your program and have tried some of the recipes and made up some of my own with the information gathered from your program. over the years i have lost hundreds of pounds only to regain and become heavier than before. I do believe that with this program it will allow me to keep the weight off as I see it to be a positive lifestyle change that I will be able to be comfortable with and stick with. Since Jan.3 until now I have lost 18 pounds. |
 kimwitheti 12 years ago | Hello everyone. I have been planning my menu and I do understand where some of these items may not be readily available or possible due to time constraints, but I think the idea behind it is to balance the proper nutrients from dairy, fruit, vegetables, fats/oil, meat/protein and grains. I have been changing the menu by using the allowed substitutes. There have been a couple of things that didn’t have a substitute listed such as the Roast Turkey, but I substituted with grilled chicken breast. I think I see a lot of chicken and veggie stir fry in my future. Good Luck everyone and I hope you reach your goals. I can say for myself I just started this Friday so this is my third day, but I feel completely satisfied and not craving any junk food. |
 marinaheading 12 years ago | Hello everyone! I live in Victoria, Australia and this is my second real attempt to loose weight after my daughter was born. I just keep putting weight back on because I feel i’m not addressing my nutrition. I am addicted to ‘bad’ food!!! oh well. Now I am learning that eating good foods more frequently and feeling that I am actually doing something about this 20 kg I need to loose… I am more positive.
So here we go. Day 1. |
 melodywillia 12 years ago | Just started the program today but do not feel hungry enough to eat all the snacks. I do not know if it is okay to cut some of the snacks or not. Does anyone out there know? |
 jjmarie 12 years ago | Hello, I’m very happy with this diet. I’ve lost a pound a week, but I am most impressed with how my belly is not sticking out as before. And I have not been hungry at all. I still need to drink more water and I have my coffee with skim milk which I am not ready to give up. I’ve been active but have not started exercising. I have 12 pounds to go, but I am not in a hurry, just don’t want to buy larger clothes. |

 switthuhn 12 years ago | I just finished two weeks and had a total of 7 lbs. lost. I am enjoying this way of eating. Never hungry but find it hard some days to eat 6 meals. Some days I don’t drink enough water. When it is cold I like to drink hot tea and coffee. I like some of the recipes but have been tweeking to my food on hand. Been making lots of soup, my favorite meal. I have been sharing it with my neighbors and they love it. Can’t wait to see how much I lose next week. I feel great. |
 fatty27 12 years ago | Been on the diet for 7 days and have not lost 1 pound. What am i doing wrong? Also working out 3 days a week. HELP! |
 Azoo 12 years ago | Since I started one week ago I have been reading many of the success stories. They really helped get me excited for my weigh day. I gained 4 pounds!!!! How is this possible? I shopped, measured, stuck to the menu to the letter. I have never been so disciplined about following a menu as I was this week. Has this happened to anyone? I agree with many of you…it’s a lot of food. Much more than I was eating before I started with Trim Down. I had never eaten Kale, Collard greens, papaya. Good stuff but ?????? Help somebody!!!! If it’s exercise, I did walk briskly for 30 minutes 3 days this week. |
