One of the girls has been trying to lose weight since I have been on the boat. She has tried a few different things including the cookie diet that did not work. She asked me last month if I would help her and I agreed, as long as she was committed and would follow the plan that I created for her. Our other girl on the boat also wanted to participate, so it was good that they could support each other while on the same plan. I went on vacation so we only started a few weeks ago. It’s basically the 1200 calorie plan from my website that they are following. You would be surprised at how much you could actually eat with such a low calorie level if you choose right. They each lost 4 lbs. the first week, I’m proud of them. The core of the program has them writing everything they eat in a food journal. They are shocked to see how many calories are in some of their favorite foods such as macaroni & cheese. They can have it, but it sure depletes what else they can eat, and neither touched it when I made for the crew. Their goals are to lose 17 and 32 lbs. respectively. I will try and do a weekly update here to let you know how they are doing. They are both on vacation this week, so should be interesting to see how they did!
