This is the guy from Extreme Makeover, this plan is great, I lost 20 lbs so far. I haven't been sticking to it lately, becuase in the losing phase it can be a little more restrictive, but I've still stuck to the basics of it and have maintained everything I lost. Which is good, so I know that as I continue to lose I will be able to maintain and either way I've been a lot healthier

Have to work on the exercise, that's been my downfall, I'm the woman with a million excuses and even sit and ask myself why I keep making excuses

The plan is awesome!!!! Their website is www.makeoveramerica.com, they offer a free "Blueprint" of your body on this site, from there they actually have 5 different body types and the plan is taylored around how you answered those questions. For me, my meals are made up of proteins, fruits, vegetables, and carbs. It's the combination of those that items that is suppose to speed up your metabolism.

Some big things that they stress is no salt, sugar, dairy, bread in the beginning. (That's been my weak spot) I have lost 20 lbs on the plan though and have kept all of it off. Working on going back on faithfully to lose more,

I also find myself making excuses for why I am making excuses for not working out. It is kind of like going to church, as long as you go every week there is no problem. As soon as you miss a week or two it is sooo hard to get yourself up and dressed to go the next Sunday!

The website sounds promising-is it free? What is the name of the workout DVD??

The program is not free, but I got a lot out of it. Even reading the results of the blueprinting (which is free online) will help you make better eating decisions.
