I'm 42 and the mother of three ages 23, 19, and 16.I've been married for 21 years.We live in the south. Where it seems like everything is fried.My daughter and I decided to do this diet together.She's a vegitarien so doing without meat is no problem for her. It's the sweets and the cheese she'll be missing.Hope it works as well for us as it has for the ones we've read about.We're going on vacation in less then a month and hope to have this diet down by then and lose a few extra pounds in the process.Here's to fashing the fat!!!!!!
