Well this is interesting...I was just about to say goodbye to you all today, because yesterday and today I failed and snacked at liberty. I went back to my old ways and ate just for the hell of it. I'm pretty low because I've never weighed 140lbs in my entire life (except when I was pregnant 10 ...

Newbie - First Post

Hi everyone.. been lurking a while and reading up on this diet and have decided to give it my best shot! I would like to lose about 21 lbs and get back into my skinny jeans. I have managed to get to my dream weight before, about 2 years ago, but it's all come piling back on and then some.

Anyway ...
