Another Day FIFTEEN – and in a similar mood as back then on my original 2009 Day FIFTEEN. Again, I am making progress (14 lbs in 2 weeks) and again am I terribly bored. This year I am overall very busy which helps a lot getting through the days. And, knock on wood, so far no tragedy as back then with Tricky’s death has hit. Another 4 weeks I am assuming and I am counting the days…
About
10 August 2009 is the day that I began a new adventure.
As a fact, it is so far off any other diet I've ever read about or done myself that I needed a place to keep it all together, a place to write down my life on this path.
MY GOAL: to finally lose the weight I had gained when I stopped smoking almost 10 years ago.
Not that I am currently heavily overweight. But I have always been very skinny and I feel at my best then. From the 45 pounds I had gained, I managed to rid myself of 20 pounds in arduous attempts. But the last 25 pounds have stuck with me way too long and tired of constantly "dieting" and hovering around the same 5 pounds, I decided to drastically change something.
Feel free to poke around or you can follow my voyage from Day Zero

You are doing well!!!! i am on a similar diet in Texas and they have no support emails or groups. I have been tempted to leave my program and join thebeaddiet for the support emails. The only thing holding me back is paying additional money to get access to an email list
Best Wishes,

Thank you!
With the BeadsDiet you do not pay for the emails, you pay for the beads and support – and they really take care, I had my support person follow up on me even 3 months after I was officially done back in 2009.
What is really nice is that there is a user group email list for people on the diet and that has been major support for many, many users.
Paying for the beads and all is also a good motivation to stick to the program, next to the benefit that they really help.

Thanks. The plan I am on currently uses the beads as well (sadkhin complex), I attend the center and have already lost 16lbs. Unfortunately, they do not have an abundance of recipes and there are no forums for persons to post new ideas like your Tips page. Overall I am satisfied but I wish I had more recipes
If you get some awesome finds from the emails, could you please consider posting. I have already received great insight from reading your old posts
Thanks!

Got it. Nice on your loss! If you are on the beads diet and join the email list group, there are a TON of recipes and good ideas, here, on my site, I’ve just put those which I personally liked best.
This time around I did not join the email list group as I feel comfortable enough to do it this time on my own, so I do not have any insight on latest recipes.
