Linda: I really enjoy the program, so far it has been easy to follow. Everybody who works here is so nice. It is really structured and that is what I need. I think my biggest challenge was on Friday when the no carbs (or very little carbs) kicked in and the cravings started. I was able to fight through it and the next day I was fine. My biggest challenge was actually surviving the first week. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I thought I would break sometime during the week and I didn’t. Yeah!
Amelia: I’m feeling really good overall. I’m more energized and I’ve been sleeping better. It’s challenging and very hard for me, but overall I feel happy. The hardest thing this week was figuring out meals and being prepared. I still haven’t learned to shop and to plan ahead, and it’s hard working my schedule around my four kids. It’s been hard getting on track, especially when I have cravings, but I’m not actually hungry. I worked through it by telling myself that it was just a craving and I wasn’t really hungry. My biggest achievement this week has been sticking to it, I didn’t go outside the points once. It was really hard, because I wasn’t prepared, but I stuck to it anyway.

Donna: I love this program so far. The information is great and helpful. The staff is wonderful.The biggest challenge this week was finding the 0% fat items and some of the other items that help in weight loss. My biggest challenge this week was divorcing bread and pasta (maybe someday we can be friends again :) ).
Mari: At first, I wasn’t sure about how I would make it the first week, but today I feel good and “lite”, not bogged down. My biggest challenge this week was getting used to following the program and being able to cook for my family, and being able to plan and organize better. My biggest achievement this week was understanding the program and tools without using my handbook. It almost feels like I’ve been doing this longer than a week as it makes sense and its getting easier.

Jessica: I’m feeling good about the program and I’m happy about my progress. My biggest challenge this week was weighing my protein, My biggest achievement has been starting the program and losing weight!
Kevin: I feel awesome. Loosing the weight is allowing me to think about how I will feel if I lose more. My biggest challenge this week was consuming enough food to meet the diet requirements. Learning the portion sizes and dietary control is a learning experience. My biggest achievement this week was loosing the weight that I did. My goal for the following week is to equal or increase the weight loss.
