This is working!!!!!!!

We've just completed our first week, one week and two days to be exact, and all I can say is this program is the best! I love having my meals ready for me, just reach in the fridge, stick it in the microwave and you're done. No thinking, no planning, no hassle. The food is delicious - much better than anything I prepare myself and the best part is no guilt. Hubby and I used to eat out for almost every meal and although I loved the food I always felt guilty afterward because I knew everything tasted good because it was full of fat and sodium. Now I just happily eat away, knowing I'm eating healthy and changing my life....What's better than that??

The icing on the cake?!?! I'm down 2 pounds, real pounds, no fluctuation, and hubby is down 11 pounds!! You read that right, 11 pounds in just over a week and I can totally see a difference in his face and belly! I'm not going to fib, we had three social events in the last week and we did eat the food but we both ate smaller portions and skipped the "really bad stuff" and the next morning got right back in the saddle. All in all, we are thrilled with diet to go and can't wait to lose some more!  I'll post again in a couple days to let you know our progress!

And we're off.....

Picking up our first week of food

Fat and happy...that's how we describe ourselves...we are crazy in love, financially secure, are close to our families and have great friends. We both live by the "treat every day like it's your last" concept. We belong to a country club and spend a lot time time there golfing, playing tennis and eating/drinking. We both work, have four legged children, don't cook and love our cocktails. Do we have fun? You bet! Is this unhealthy lifestyle catching up with us? You bet! Do we hate looking like this? You bet! Since we've been married (7 years) I've gained almost 40 pounds and my hubby has gained 100 and we're sick of it...we used to be so cute! :-)


So for the last year, every Sunday night, we both swore we were going to "start our diet tomorrow" and had the best intentions....by Tuesday morning we'd already "cheated" and by Wednesday we would say "let's start next week." We just can't seem to do it on our own... and then opportunity knocked...we found out our dear friend at the country club is the owner of Diet to Go and talked to him about the program. What a simple but amazing concept. Fresh food prepared for you based on guidelines by major nutrition associations that you just pick up and eat? No frozen diet foods full of salt, no processed food delivered monthly in a cardboard box. Chef prepared food that you simply just eat. We were sold! We cleaned out our fridge and pantry, picked up our food and high fived each other because we know this is what we've been looking for - the easiest, healthiest way for us to take control of our weight and health! I would like to share our progress so check back in when we have a couple of days under our "larger than we'd like" belts and I'll let you know we're doing!
