Hi all,

Both of us are going to begin this as soon as I go shopping - which will be tomorrow. We are looking forward to losing weight!

My friends loaned us their book (think I want to buy my own tho). He lost 45 and still losing - she 20.

Looking forward to this!

Hope you're loving it as much as I do!

We've just finished our 5th full day. Now have our own book plus the "Summer" cookbook. We both like this - never feel hungry. Eating this healthy is certainly labor intensive! Tons of produce around and lots of dicing and chopping. It is also more expensive to eat healthy. But, we are both on board 100%. I'm retired, husband still works part time. If we were both working full time, this would be difficult.

Way to go, Snakelady!

I know what you mean about the time and expense in the beginning.

In my experience, after doing SB for more than a year, it's gotten less time-consuming and less expensive. It was more expensive in the beginning because I was searching for and buying new spices and different produce for new recipes. Now that I've been doing it for awhile, I've developed ways to make it simpler, too. It's great to try new recipes, but now I've fallen into more of a pattern of knowing what I want to cook & knowing/having the ingredients I want.

We've got a new budget (money and time) thread going. Please add your ideas.

Keep up the good work!!

thanks Nancy for encouragement. Just finished our 7th day. Do not get hungry, which is great. Neither one of us do. I have a bit of trouble getting around on this site. ̇Where is the thead you referred to?
