LA Weight Loss - To

Hi Ladies,

So I am in a rut. My COD keeps suggesting doing TO. So I guess I am going to do it. Ugh! I know it isn't that bad. But I just dread it. Ya know? Anyway I thought maybe some of you might want to do it with me? I am going to do it next week on the 30th and 1st. I hope someone wants to join me. He he! I think I am going to use oranges instead of juice. Let me know if you are interested.

I'll join in... I am due for a TO. :) I buy a juice that is almost the exact same ingredients for only $4.. here we come asparagus egg beater omelette! :) WHOO HOO!!

Where do you buy the Juice what is it called? I am not looking forward to it. But I ahppy you are doing it with me that will make it easier! Thanks Elizabeth!

See your inbox cecilia :) I look forward to the company.. anyone else up for TO???....

Cecila and Elizabeth - I'm totally in! The 30th and the 1st will be great. I, too, would like to not have to buy the expensive TO juice. I have looked for the Knudsen's but can't find it in my area. People here seem to do it with oranges or cantaloupe instead of juice, but I'll have to reread some posts to find the "rules." Great idea!

What do you guys think about the 1st and 2nd? Sorry to change the dates. One of the girls I work withy wants to do it, but her day off is wednesday and it is not fun doing TO on your day off if you know what I mean. Ha!

Just let me know.. as long as it is not on the weekend, I am good to go.

Ok. Do you consider Friday that weekend Elizabeth?

nope.. Friday is fine. just sat/sun when my husband is home all day. I get grumpy on TO and would rather be semi 'alone' for the day...lol.

have any of you ever considered doing FF instead of TO? I know a lot of people like TO if they do lites..........but FF is wayyy easier for me. You get unlimited lean proteins as well as unlimited green veggies. I get a lot less grumpy :) I do it with oranges, but that is just because I prefer eating to drinking....:lol:. Anyway, if you have any questions about FF, let me know :)

Nicole that is what my cod suggested. Unlimited green veggies and protien. That won't be sooo bad!

It's not so bad. You can even have butter and/or oils :) Usually the only struggle for people is if you are really hooked on the bars......that can be hard to give up for two days at a time when you are doing everything in your power to re-gain control. I like to do it with cantaloupe or oranges the best. That being said....if TO works well for you........then do that. If it is difficult for you, or you don't see good results......it wouldn't hurt to try FF instead :)
XOXO

I also do FF with oranges, unlimited protein and green veggies and it always works for me. I usually lose around 3 lbs in the two days and feel great. I've been really having a difficult time lately staying on the program ever since my center closed and I do not have someone else weighing me in and holding me accountable. I need more Self-Motivation lately. I will do FF the 30th and 1st too. I really need a jump start!! Thanks for the motivation and support.

Hi Ladies just an update lets start on on the 1st and go through the 2nd.... I hope this works for everyone! I will still be here to support you through it if you do different days but it would be great to do it all together! I am going to use Oranges too!

You ready for TO? I went shopping yesterday and got things that I needed. I am looking forward to a whole 2 oz of grilled sirloin steak for supper tomorrow night. Those that have done TO... what do you find it does for you? Do you gain/loose/stay the same?

I am ready! Went shopping yesterday bought steak, shrimp and oranges! Ha! First time I lost 6 lbs gained 2 back. Second time lost 4 lbs gained 2 back. So overall a loss is a loss and 2 lbs in 2 days is awesome! Espcially when I am sooo close to goal!

How many oranges do you eat in a day? Is Fast Forward 2 days?

Yup I am going to do FF and it is two days and I was told 4 oranges a day. Are you doing oranges too?

how about buying one of those Rotisserie chickens from the food store? Does anyone do that?

Hay Mazda, I don't know about that I am always leary about everything. ugh! Someone here will probably have an answer.

Started fast forward today! Whooo hooo! I had Steak, eggs and and orange for breakfast! ugh! I was sooo full! Going good so far. Except I may have cheated I had fat free half and half in my coffee. Oh well. I had too!

Where are my TO buddies??????????

Even though I am not in love with TO juice (I despise orange juice and all I taste is pure orange). I started this AM.

I have been on the plan for about 2 weeks now. I find my center wasn't very informative regarding TO now that I am on the plan. I get that it's unlimited green uncooked veg and I think I can have balsamic vinegar and lemon juice on my salads, 6 OZ of proteins/day that can be cooked in butter (mmmm scallops), my 2 ll and liquids. No idea though if I am supposed to have an egg like the very first time or not so I didn't.

And I have no clue what ff is...

It's kinda like TO but it is unlimited protien and unlimited green veggies. No bars. I am glad I have a buddy! Hows it going so far today. I have to say I am sick of it already! ugh! I hate being so limited!

Cecil,

I have to say that I am not sick of everything. I am not hungry at all (which is something I haven't said in over 9 years). I have had almost all the TO juice, 2 salads and 1 LL and it's 3:30.

The great thing about being limited like this is that when you are back on the plan you are like "Oh yummy I love yogurt" . ROFLMAO! Which is better than the before the plan "Yogurt? Never".

Its 6:30pm and I think I'm doing good! I had 2 eggs for breakfast, an orange as an AM snack, a turkey burger for lunch, another orange as a PM snack and a huge piece of chicken as soon as I got home from work. I'll probably have another orange or 2 tonight and some other type of protein...not sure yet. The hardest part for me is fighting off the craving for something to munch on..

I am here.. doing pretty good. I have split up my lites to have during the day and am on the juice.. I need to get more water in though. I had a bunch of mixed greens for breakfast, some tuna on green salad with a tbsp lite dressing for lunch and am having 4 oz of lean sirloin for supper with some veggies.. not sure what ones though. I found I gained a bit last time and my COD said it was because of all the fluids I was drinking... hummmm... hope for better luck this time! Good luck tonight all!

Day 2!
God I can't wait for today to be over. I am kinda nervous about doing it with Oranges but if others had success it should be ok? I guess. Tomorrow I have WI at COD. So it will be very accurate! HA! Can't wait I hope I lost like 5 lbs! HA!

how about buying one of those Rotisserie chickens from the food store? Does anyone do that?


I have used them.........I just eliminated the skin :) Super yummy, but a bit on the salty side :) Drinks lots of water and you should be ok :)

Cecilia.............how are you liking it with oranges? I hope you get good results!!! I always did......you know.......back when I had the umph to do FF :lol:. Let us know how WI goes!!!
XOXO

It is going good I like being able to eat instead of drink. But I thinkI reverted back to TO. I needed a bar sooo bad yesterday I had to break down and have one. So? I hope that's not a big deal. At least it wasn't something worse.

Day two is almost done. I had two eggs for breakfast, orange for AM snack, a big salad with crab meat from acme for lunch, another orange in the afternoon and I have a huge steak waiting for for for dinner!! Do you know if a steak weighs the same before its cooked as after its cooked? I've heard mixed messages and I just want to know how much I am eating.

I would Weigh it after you cook it. Good job! can't wait for today to be over!

3 lbs was my total for TO. Not so bad. I guess. 12.2 lbs to go till I reach my goal!
