First up in keeping it honest I will say I will not be following her program religiously. I need somewhere to start and I like lots of what she does but not everything.
For this to work I need Laurie on board. That means meals need to be something we will both eat. Dinner on the first night is a couscous salad with char grilled eggplant and capsicum. Not the meal I will be eating for two reasons. Firstly neither of us are eggplant fans. Secondly if the first dinner has no meat Laurie will get tired of it very quickly. So I've modified the meal. We will add some marinated chicken tenderloins and have the couscous without the added char-grilled vegetables.
I also need to modify the exercise plan significantly. My rotator cuff has still not healed and I am not allowed to consider the gym till the New Year. So I will be walking initially and will probably add a swim in about a month. Some exercise is better than nothing at all which is what I am doing most days at the moment.
So Michelle would say I am already setting up for failure. I don't believe so but in 12 weeks time I will know if there is a difference.
My goal is a realistic 10 kilos. I have a social life and will be keeping it. Sometimes when I am out I will be able to make sensible choices, sometimes I won't. All I know is I want this to be the life changer so here I go.
Before pictures in a dress that shows all the lumps and bumps. here's to the start of their disappearance.

Go girl!
This is a great start! As you both lose weight and see the difference in your bodies you may be able to follow it more strictly in a later round.
I look forward to seeing your successes!
