Thank You Equinata!

Hi Ladies,

Well I'm not seeing any reporting going on here with weigh in and have not seen one post from Jess the girl that started this thread. I have to say though I have enjoyed cooresponding with Equinata and a couple of the other ladies.

I went out to lunch for my Mom's B'Day today and felt I did well. I ordered a small portion of grilled mahi mahi, salad, and sauteed veggies. I would have preferred they were steamed but didn't think to ask for them that way until after the fact. I left the mayonaisse filled cole slaw alone, didn't take one bite of the hush puppies that were put on the table and everyone raved about and drank water with lemon. But..... I did have a small peice of B'Day cake that they brought out for my Mom. That was the worst that I did all day though.

I was suppose to go out to dinner with my brother-in-law but his plans turned another direction so I ate a leftover turkey burger, brown rice, and steamed broccoli. Made the normal "bad food" for the family. They wanted chicken fingers and fries....didn't tempt me in the least!

So that was my day. Hope you all had a good day!

Hello Ladies,

Jan you did great and I am sure that one different meal and a piece of cake will not hinder you at all on your journey. I had to improvise yesterday for dinner as well as my DH had to bomb the house after sitting a counsins dog who had fleas (made me so upset). We went to Picadilly and oredered grilled chicken with two green vegetables, so it was different from my menu but in the same range.

Thank you for the support Equinata. I know I did ok but had been avoiding those sugary things up until yesterday. They are my weakness. I love to bake and more so love to eat what I have baked, or what the grocery store has baked, the bakery, you get my drift. I can live without alot of things but sweets and coffee are something that is tough to give up.

I still made a couple "sweets" during my 9 days on the detox but kept within what I could have. I ground my own oat flour, used artificial sweeteners, egg whites and so on. Was able to create a few things that were from "ok" to pretty passable. I never gave up my coffee though. Cut back on the amount from 2-3 large cups to one, went to half caf, and put less of the sweetener and creamer in it. It seemed to all work for me although I don't know if I would have done better to have avoided these things all together.

Back on my next round of detox today. I always start out first thing upon waking with about 8-12 oz of water because I have to take my medication in the morning and then also can't eat for an hour. After that it was on to my oatmeal....and coffee.

We are having a great weather day here today as I'm sure you may be also in Georgia. Well in general I know it is cooler there than here. We have 70's right now with low humidity....that's the best, although it's all overcast. I'll take this over the high 80's to 90's anyday...especially in November, come on now it's time to cool off and stay that way darn it!

I have a freind that I met on another nutrition website (Sparkpeople) that I keep in contact with via email and she lives in Georgia as well. You Georgia people are so nice, just a peach, sorry for the pun!

Anyway, I need to get back on to that other website to input my food intake from the rest of yesterday and then plan my meals for today. I was trying to plan out in my head last night as I was going to sleep how to arrange my transition through the phases of this "diet" in order to keep losing some weight and to get to my goal by April 2. This was 5 months to the day from starting this. I was hoping to drop 12 lbs this month and a minimum of 10 lbs the other months. I can achieve my goal by that date if I can keep regimented and true to this.

Where are you in your weightloss journey Equinata? What is your goal and do you have a date as to when you would like to attain that? It seems that this thread on this website is going to be dead before too long. It's pretty much just you and I now. Is there another website you frequent that you would like to stay in touch on? I do like Sparkpeople but just got burned out being on a "team" and going through the 12 week challenges. Especially since I was having a medical and medication issue that stopped any progress.

Anyway, let me know. I would love to keep in touch with you either way and be supportive if you need it....I'm sure I will need it! Have a good day.

Hey Jan
Yes it's just us now. I have not lost any more weight so far this week, but I upped my work outs this week to twice a day 5am and 1:30pm. My goal is to come down to 180 as mu first goal hopefully by the end of February and to maintain this healthy lifestyle to reach 170 then I will see if I want to lose more or maintain. I want to be sexy again. Lol I do not log on to another forum unfortunately it's to hard to keep up with. If you come across one that is real active and supportive let me know.

Equinata,

It's a shame that this thread turned out to be such a bust. I was hoping to have a group of supportive women doing the same thing and continuing but it seems like you and I are the only ones that were interested.

I don't see any point in continuing on here. If you would like to write me via email on your progress or if you would like to join me on Sparkpeople that would be great. What ever is best for you.

I tried to give you my email address but it would not let it post. Lets try this another way: it is with hotmail and is jan11661@.....

I would love to know how you are doing with your weight loss journey.

Clockaleanie · 11-16-2009, 10:41 AM

OK, I weighed in this morning and am down another 1.6, which I am very please with. That's 6.8 pounds in 2 weeks, and I was very, very bad on Friday night and Sunday!! i had a burger on Friday and hot wings yesterday, and beer! Still, I did work out for an hour on both days, and 45 minutes on Saturday. Actually, I have worked out for at least 30 every day except 2 in the last two weeks. It's a struggle making time for it, but my Hubby has been marvelous support, even eating soy with me!! Back to the program today...

Equinata · 11-16-2009, 11:18 AM

Hello Ladies,

Welcome aboard. Lets get this forum going again. I have not cheated at all sitll awaiting my one and only cheat day which really won't be a cheat since I will be done with all three cycles, but I will restart it again. I did not drop one pound last week and hope I drop some this week, but aunt flow is on her way so I'm not getting my hopes up. I do indeed feel somewhat sexy though. LOL

MOTIVATEDMOMOF1 · 11-16-2009, 07:44 PM

Ok today is day 1 and I haven't eaten anything. I know that's not good, but it's not too bad. I'm about to go grocery shopping so I can prepare my food for tomorrow. I will eat some brown rice, mushrooms, and onions for dinner. I love water so I have been drinking water today!

Hi ladies! Hope you don't mind but I'm going to jump on this thread. My mom, sister and I all did a 10 week weight loss challenge in April, and I decided to try the FS diet. By the end of June I lost 25lbs! After that I trained for a 5k with my sister, which I completed in 38 minutes (and I'm SO not a runner). Now I put some weight back on and I'm ready to start my journey again.

I like the FS diet because even though it's pretty strict (the no bread thing kills me), it's very clear, and I don't ever feel hungry. I'm worried that it might be more challenging for me in the fall/winter, because my favorite fruits are spring/summer ones (peaches, mangoes), and I don't know that I'll want to fill up on melons.

So I'm ready to start tomorrow. And looking forward to working with all of you to meet our goals!

Welcome aboard Spinsistah. Keep us posted on your day.
MotivatedMOM how are you doing today with eating?

jan11661 · 11-17-2009, 01:58 PM

Clockaleanie, Spinsistah, and MotivatedMomof1,

Welcome aboard!

Hi my name is Jan and I am an over eater! I am also quirky, talkitive, supportive and I'm glad you are here!

Here's the "story" on this thread:

Once upon a time, not so long ago, this thread was created by a person that asked for a buddy to join them in Phase 1 of the FS Diet. Then "poof" they were never heard from again.

Equinata and I became buddies though and had been keeping this thread alive. Just about the time we thought all hope was lost to revive this thread
then all of YOU brought new life into it!

We are more than happy to have you join us. We look forward to continuing to help eachother and all of you through your weightloss journeys. I hope together we can all give this story a happy ending! THE END.

Seriously, thanks for joining us and have a good day!
