Hello madknitter17-
This forum has helped me tremendously, especially with its "Search" feature in the "Can I Have" thread.
You look fabulous in your profile picture.
For me diversity in the foods I eat is essential. I shop the sales, stock up on compliant BOGOs, get produce that are in season and make good use of my freezer. Most importantly, I try to make my plate of food look pretty. Presentation helps. I also started a little blog to help me stay accountable and so I could be reminded of what I ate during these 30 days. You don't have to go organic which costs more $$$. Eggs are a great source of protein and if you can have a few recipes, it'll help.
You are fortunate to have your boyfriend join you. I am solo on this one since my hubby doesn't think he could do this even though he needs to. I am also a newbie here and started this program 14 days ago with just barely enough time to complete those 30 days as I'll be going on vacation in mid-February.
Good luck and holler if you need help.
