I started on October 1st, 2010 armed with the 12-day and MWLP books as well as two cookbooks that I have purchased over the years. My weight - 278 pounds. (That is down from when I first started my weight loss program in August, at 294.) My goal - 160 pounds, which would be the weight I was in college.
Weight loss is my focus, as I don't have any other health issues. My blood pressure, cholesterol, and other vitals are all very healthy. My only nemesis is my weight.
Yesterday I cooked a variety of foods to have ready for the week: Black Bean/Pineapple Salsa, Broccoli Salad, Sweet Potatoes and Vegetable Bake and Bean Cakes. I also purchased quite fresh apples, celery, tomatoes and romaine lettuce as well as a variety of frozen vegetables that I can steam. So, I am ready!
