One of our participants offered a great idea yesterday. She was having trouble tracking her daily meals, and developed the following system:
She has a separate food box for each day. She fills her boxes in advance, each with five meal replacement servings. Then, she simply eats the contents of the box through the day. When she's done, she's done.
How beautiful: simplicity! It reminded me of a "Mediset:" the pill boxes that are divided up, labeled Sunday through Saturday. In some Medisets, there are four openings per day - representing doses for morning, noon, dinner, and bedtime.
Our participant's system is certainly working for her; she's lost over 25 pounds in the first six weeks!
Tips like this keep us all going strong!
Tim and I have lost a combined total of about 40 pounds since mid June, and have found the plan to be very workable. We like the way we feel.
And, we're all in this together.

I like the simplicity of this program. We don't shop, meal plan, or cook. Yet, by transition time and beyond we will have learned strategies for shopping, meal planning and cooking to help us achieve our long-term weight management goals.
