8 weeks to go- that is 56 days and 1344 hours- both motivation and willpower currently strong- but I fully anticipate times that one or both will flag. But even now when I am so keen I am telling myself that I will be healthier, look better and even though I will still be seriously overweight at the end of the 8 weeks- it will be great to have had this start- as I expect to feel better and not have such a sweet tooth. So I have decided to tell myself several times a day- how good this is going to be for me in so many ways-each time trying to think of a new reason that what I am doing is wonderful. I think telling myself that even when I am having no problems with doing the plan- will be helpful. I am very interested to ask others what they do for inspiration.

Hi LondonGirl, I have also started today. I am still reading the book but did a similar diet at the beginning of the year and lost heaps. I haven’t put weight back on but I still need to lose lots and so I think the 8 week challenge is a goer for me. All the best with your weight loss.

And all the best with yours Miss Rose- we can do this !!
