[Guest guest]

Hello to you all and let me start with congratulations to everyone

who has decided to take this challenge! I am lucky to be doing this

with my husband. We are both in this to loose weight and learn to

live better, for our children and for ourselves. I am on day 2 of

week six and am feeling a little discouraged. I decided to come to

you all for some advice and re-energizing.

To my frustrations - I feel like I am doing things right, eating

well, hitting my 10s and taking advantage of my off days to curb my

cravings for those little powdered doughnuts but I am SEEING little

change. I do, however, FEEL a change. I am stronger, tighter and I

see new definition in my arms and legs but my problem area, my

stomach, there just isn't much change. I also haven't lost a pound.

So, like I said, I am looking for some advice, maybe there is

someone out there that went through the same thing. I am starting to

question everything, wondering if I am eating too much, too little

or the wrong things. We have not been counting protein/carbs/fat

just keeping in line with the portion sizes and eating the suggested

foods and following only the approved recipes.

I am hoping someone will tell me the same happened to them and to

just keep at it – the paper towel theory is keeping me strong! Do

you all know that theory?

My husband and I joke that in just 12 weeks we should be tan and

shiny (all the after pictures show everyone has become tan and

shiny ; -) ) not to mention strong and healthy.

I said a lot here and look forward to any info you may have to share!

Thanks
