Thank you for this area on the forum. I can just post my notes here so that I will have dates and progress together. I haven't done this ever, so it might prove to keep my motivation going.
I am beginning this diet today. I am 5'10" and weigh 171 pounds. My goal is to get to 145- 150 pounds. My husband is 5'11" and weighs 212 pounds. His goal is to get to 185-190 pounds.
We eat oatmeal or brown rice with 1/2 cup of chopped nuts and 1/2 cup raisins (for 12 people) for breakfast and fruit for snacks in the morning. I think that is likely okay on this diet?
We had a lentil/potatoe soup today for lunch that I really didn't like. So, I think the best thing is potatoes with other steamed veggies at lunch along with cut veggies and fruit. I am also going to try grain/veggie soups for lunch. I will leave different bean/pasta meals for supper with a big salad.
Due to chronic fatigue I am not up to looking at a lot of recipe at this time. So, I read something on here about simplicity and I am going to do this right now so that I can get the new habits established even though I'm tired.
I think I will try to weigh and record here weekly with our progress in the diet.
