I was off to a slow start due to my dad's passing however I am here to report overall, I am down 5 lbs in two weeks. Considering the challenge I faced with "funeral food" I am happy I am back on the program at all! I always considered 200 my starting weight however the holidays packed on an extra 6lbs. I must look forward. A loss is a loss! I love SB.

would 10 pounds be a realistic goal or not?

I already lost 1.5 lbs.

If you only have a small amount to lose probally no. Your goal is very individual and the goal of the challenge is to reach your goal whether it is 1lb or 20lbs. Make sure you post in the most current post for the challenge. I just need your starting weight and your goal. The challenge ends feb 18.

I'm here to join in the fun! Since I like round numbers, I will call my starting weight 200 and my goal for Feb 18th 190 lb. Is starting weight the weight at the time of the challengeor the start of SB?
So here are my stats

Starting weight 200
temp goal weight 190
Goal lose 10 lbs.

I am having a hard time with the diet though.

In what way is the diet hard for you? It shouldn't be hard...maybe we can figure out how to make it easier on ya...what are your issues ...the food choices? the time? the planning? Not sure what to eat?...we're here to help...let's figure this out together...

well I have been sick and a lot of the food you can eat seems heavy to me and not appealing when you are sick.

I am not ahuge meat fan and egg are ok. But I am having trouble with breakfast because I eat yogurt everyday and I really miss it.

but I did lose 2 lbs this week

2 lbs. is a great start! Your doing it already!!...your on phase 1 right?

You can have yogurt by the way...it just needs to be non-fat or lowfat plain...add your own stuff to make it taste better...

Even on phase 2 & 3, I love to eat yogurt...I add a splenda & vanilla extract to mine or sometimes a dash of cinnamon...it's pretty good.

Sorry to hear your sick, nothing is going to taste right...do you have any questions about menus or what you should be eating?

I just wanna help, but I'm not sure where to start...care to share a typical day's menu??? Maybe we can start there....

wow...2 pounds...way to go my friend!! I'm very proud!
