I am on Day Three and lovin it.

I'm a MAXer with my armband and my planned menu. Doing 1500 a day. The planned menu is a godsend. No thinking...everything is thought out.

I really haven't ran into anything that I actually hate...as a matter of fact...I am loving V8 juice. Go figure.

The MAX program is flipping fantastic...seeing what my body is up to through out the day is absolutely brilliant. It puts dieting into a whole new spectrum for me. Portion control? Never thought about it..but I am now. I've never really been on a diet before..and I gotta admit...Carrie Fisher was the reason that I even noticed or thought of JC.

As a boy...I saw Star Wars 77 times..yep...no typo. A bit geeky...well actually really geeky. But I noticed she had been putting on weight...no judgement...I've been packing on the pounds myself. Then I see her online and she is looking great. Simple as that. I noticed. Then started doing the research. I'm in advertising..so I'm pretty immune to advertising..but gotta tell you. This worked for me.

Anyway. I'm in Minnesota..out in Afton. Woodbury is my Centre. I'll be there on Saturday morning..bright and early for my weigh-in (please, please let me lose at least some weight).

Hopefully we can keep the chat going for Minnesota for a few weeks.

Well, no one is posting here. So maybe this will be my own personal forum. ;-)

Little arrogant..sorry.

Hopefully from Minnesota will stop by. I would really like to find a few local kindred spirits nearby. I know that they are here..just not on the forums.

Finished Week Two of the Max program. Down 11.4 pounds. Seriously! How did that happen? Amazing to me.

Simply by watching what I eat and changing the portion size. BOOOM. I'm thinner. Who knew? ;-) (Probably everyone..I'm never in the know)

Anyway, Jenny Craig has made this pretty simple. But i gotta tell you. If someone had given me all of the recipes and the menu and expected me to do this at home...FAIL. I couldn't do it. I'm not lazy..but I am about food. I eat what is convenient and simple. Jenny just gives me smarter convenient and simple.

So I'm off to do Week Three. Quite a few pounds to go..but the first two weeks have given me hope...actually more than that. The have given me something concrete to hold on to..and I have faith now that this will work.

Keep the faith and keep losing weight.
