You all are really making me want to order this! I keep watching the infomercial and am really intrigued. However, I don't want to buy one more thing that I can't stick with! I'm not feeling very good about my ability to stick with things these days. I've tried WW, Atkins, etc and haven't stuck with anything. At least with Atkins, I wasn't hungry all of the time. I really, really want to lose this 35 pounds or so (well, I'm more interested in losing pant sizes!) and want to be successful.

I have a couple of questions... First of all, how much time do you spend preparing for the week? It sounds like preparation is a key, which I'm okay with. I've heard people say that it's time consuming and I just want to see if this is true. I'm a wife, mom of 3 busy kids, and a full time college student. Needless to say, I don't have a lot of free time! However, if it makes the difference in my success, I'm willing to do it!

Also, I have taken the blueprint questionaire at Provida.com and it said that I'm a type B. However, when I saw the Woman's Day article, I looked closer to another type (I can't remember which one, I think maybe E?) My weight gain is in my boobs (they horribly large!) lower stomach, hips, and upper thighs. What does that sound more like to you?

Plus, where is the best place to order this? Thanks so much for any advice, thoughts, feelings, etc. I'm tired of feeling like a failure.

I have read all your threads and want to congratulate you all for undertaking this commitment. It seems to consume alot of time but hey, it is only for 6 wks and the results seem to be astonishing. I want to use you guys as my guinea pigs, to see how well it works and if I should invest the money.

Good luck to everyone!!

WOE: Michael Thurmond's 6 Week Body Makeover!
Start Date: January 1, 2004 on the Thurmond Plan
I'm doing great! I wish I had a camera, well I do, but then...I'll try. I have on a size 3 Armani skirt and sweater at work today. I look hot! We all know the designers always make their sizes smaller than the clothing actually are, so me thinks it's a size 7 or so. I'm prouder than Jamie Foxx at the Academy Awards playing Ray Charles!

BTW, I've lost 7lbs since that picture. I'm going to see if I can get someone to take my pic here and post it today using my phone. I haven't weighed myself lately and don't want to put a false weight just to impress anyone and lie to myself. I don't know what I weigh because I haven't been on my scale, but my first goal is 135lbs. and depending on my fat level, I'll do more resistance and that will take me down further because of the fat burning result.

Yes, I started working out last week. I'm doing PM Pilates and Tae-Bo basic. Yes, my leg hurts, but it feels so good while I'm doing it (well, sometimes) and I have all this energy afterward. The best part is I can do bad things like drink wine on the weekend and I'm still losing weight. Hot Dawg!. Never
during the week.

This is the best plan ever! I'll post new pics soon! Thanks for being there Sweet Poison!
