Since there are so many of us doing Take-off this week. I thought we could all work together to get through it. Plus there are quite a few newbies doing it and they can get their questions answered over on one thread instead of have to search through are wonderful tales of a Merry christmas to find answers.
So everyone post your take-off method and the foods you are using, and hopefully we can push each other to Wednesday morning.
I am doing the limited version with 6 oz protein and veggies. Doing the orange juice version because i didn't get a chance to pick up any knudsens and the food store I go to is closed today also. Just picked up a ton of chicken breat so chicken will be my protein.
Going to have some hot tea with lemon to start my day off. Have a POP take-off everyone.
OMG, Shennie...I am so there with you. My post title was going to be "So how many pounds up are you and who's doing TO today"? My scale says I am up FOUR!!!! I am doing the unlimited protein and green vegs with the juice from the center. I am not planning on eating much though..I WENT WAY OVERBOARD yesterday. We had filet mignon for dinner and I took home two pieces, so I will have that and some chicken at lunch. DEFINITELY having hot lemon water as we speak as well!
Hi Shennie + Deets - I was going to sign up for this take off extravaganza with you both, but I just remembered I am heading to Seattle tomorrow and there will be some dining out etc.
So I will be on the wagon next Monday.
I have been doing OK so far with the temptations, just little nibbles here and there.
But they do add up, so I am in cautious mode.
I am drinking the juice as we speak. I was only up 2.5 from the cruise but how hard was it to hope back on plan with the week before christmas, so i got the juice on friday and we will see if this works. i am doing the limited with the juice from the center.
i have my juice and my water right next to each other. I had a small cup of coffee this morning (decaf) and have had about 1/2 of one bar so far. I forgot that i can have the lemon water too, so i might be heading for that next.
had tons of starches yesterday but ate within reason, so that is not too bad. i did have 2 pieces of pie at the same time ( they were different flavors) but did not eat all of both of them, just ate about 1/2 of each, and they were small pieces.
Chicken for dinner but that is about as far as i have gotten for today.
the nice thing is i am not really hungry to i don't mind doing this one, as long as i don't get sick like last time.
Well, day 1 was a huge success. I was up about 7 pounds! I weighed this morning, and have dropped 4 of them, so hopefully today will be just as successful! Good luck buddies!
HOW THE HECK?! At best Im down just one pound from TO...I did unlimited yesterday and had 4oz filet mignon, a huge salad with a little chicken and 2 eggs at breakfast. Today I havent even eaten yet (YIKES!)...Maybe I will go the 6oz version today...im not even hungry.
well, so far so goo for me. i was up 2.6 from the cruise and gained another .6 during the week. when i went in yesterday before i even started TO i was down 1.6, so that is a plus. i am almost done with my juice only have the H2O and protein left to eat tonight. but have to go and have a root canal so i should be good, cause i am thinking i will not want to eat anything anyways.
Wow, TO was really easy this time. There are some weeks that I am SO hungry OP and obsessed with planning my next meal and eating throughout the day. I was totally NOT hungry today and only had two very small meals and am just about done my latest TO adventure, thank goodness! HOPEFULLY I will have a nice WI like you other girls!
