Good luck with the Opti, I really enjoyed the Opti phase. Shakes didn't bother me at all. Hope your experience is just as good!! I lost 10 pounds the first week, gave me the incentive to keep going.

You've got this!

Good luck, the first few days are the hardest, but it's good training for not eating afterwards. I will admit that the lack of crunch food was really hard and I cheated? 3-4 time with a piece of celery. I lost 25 pounds on Opti but everyone is different, especially if you've already lost any weight.

You can do this, let the journey begin.

Optifast is tough stage but it really helps you get motivated to start the whole process. You got this girl. April 17 will be here before you know it. Yahoo!!

Opti day one for me was the worst. Thought I was going to die. Alas I didn't and survived the 3 weeks opti with a 26 pound weight loss.

My only "cheat" was that I toasted a piece of bread just so that I could smell it ?
