They have a special that is 20 lbs for $20

The food costs about $11-15 per day. You get everything you could possibly need, except parishables (milk, yogurt, fresh vegies and fruit). I don't mind spending the money on the food, some people might. That solves my biggest problem, portion and calorie control.
The menu is set up so that you have breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, and a snack. Here's an example, this is today's menu:
Sunshine Sandwich
1 orange
1 cup nonfat milk
1 cup nonfat yogurt
take my vitamins
Beef Chow Mein
Spinach Salad
Jenny's Dressing
8 peanuts
1 Banana
Pasta Fagioli
1 cup steamed zucchini
1 tbsp soft margarine (I probably won't use this)
Toffee Bites
Tomorrow will be my first check in. You get a one on one consultation with the same consultant all the time. I like that because you can discuss your specific needs, obstacles, etc. privately, not in a group setting.
The food is very good. There have only been two things I didn't really care for, but even those were ok. I've been a good girl and stuck with the menu. You do get free foods (all non strachy vegetables, pickles, sugar free jell-o, coffee, tea, etc) and there are some limited items as well.
I do know that the regular plans that they have can be a little expensive, but from what I have seen so far, if you are really set on losing weight, this is an excellent way to do it. I will keep you guys posted after tomorrow's consultation!
