Ok, today is the day. I got up and did my first weigh in and it was really ugly. (187) I have a long way to go but I can ONLY go down from here right? I'll do my bio after I've had some coffee.

Good morning! I officially started P1 today. I weighed myself and took some measurements so I have a good idea of my starting point.

I have already had my breakfast this am. Two eggs with peppers and onions and two slices lf amer cheese, and a glass of V8. My snack will consist of roasted chick peas and for lunch a large vege salad with chicken.

So far, I am feeling confident that I will succeed.

to the new folks and the returnees.

Just skimming though I noticed someone listed fake crab. This is not allowed on Phase I. If you read the ingredients, it has lots of weird stuff including "crab extract" which I try not to think about.

This was a surprise for me too. I also eat salsa (lots) with my eggs and discovered I don't actually need the cheese. Now I've got my best friend hooked on salsa with eggs

Hi Phase I chicks, this place is hopping!
Day 1 Ph1 for the umpteenth time for me. I have a love-hate relationship with Ph1, it's tough but gets me back on track like nothing else does. I can tell I fell into a vast sea of sweets and starchy carbs by the way I am feeling like caca today. Just had a latte which should help some. Serves me right!
It helps that tonight I have a super yummy dinner of leftover beef tenderloin and cauliflower and artichoke mash to look forward to. I also bought some of the McCain's diet soda that Jenn has been raving about, and can't wait to try some later.

Jenn, your tuna concoction looks really good. I plan to try a recipe this week for Italian tuna-chick pea salad that is very similar.

Hello newcomers, looking forward to getting to know you all!
Day 1 almost down, 13 more to go...

Hey everyone! I'm back on Phase 1, after blowing it over the last week. I'm going to stick with P1 for a week, at least, and then slowly move on again...
This was my plan after thanksgiving, too, and it worked well. then xmas came along... at least I have a while before any more major holidays. I was traveling all this week, so that didn't help me stay on track at all. Anyway, here's my P1 D1 menu:
B: eggs with spinach and mushrooms
S: didn't really happen, but I guess the milk in my coffee would count for dairy snack
L: artichoke and chickpea curry, sliced tofurky w/ low fat cheese
S: haven't gotten this far - probably nuts
D: veggie burger, tomatoes & avocado, green beans

HI New again, I did do this a few years back and lost 16 pds in 2 weeks now I need to do this to jump start myself! Tom is the big day... I tried today but had a family day and really blew it... I Just HATE the SB flu though and I think I am really afraid of that.. But The milk idea really may help. I am reading all your ideas in hope to find some new ones.. Thanks. My Favorite thing for the breakfast is the one drink made with Riccota cheese and coco powder, splenda and milk... It sounds disgusting but I really loved it since I do not like eggs that much! Does anyone have any really good breakfast ideas? Really I do not like eggs that much ..I can do it but I get tired of them by fast!

[lightfello]

I had a great day yesterday and so far today. I weighed in today and am down .4 The last time I officially weighed in was several weeks ago. I'm looking forward to seeing what my results are next week when I've actually been on program for longer than a few days.

[me4life]

i haven't ate to much today and for some reason i'm not really hungry. gonna make my daughter and me chicken and veggies soon though

[Chelby29]

Day 6 and I NEED A SWEET!!! I'm sure you feel my pain. I bought plain, low-fat yogurt with the plan to putting cocoa and splenda in it, but fogot the cocoa. Bummer!

I did have a good day. Started with a 30 minute walk. WooHoo! Maybe I'll take my cravin' body to bed early and watch Mamma Mia.

[cottagebythesea]

djmommy, you can eat whatever you want for breakfast, even last night's leftovers, as long as it's SBD friendly. Here's a link from a sticky in our FAQs regarding breakfast ideas -

Chelby, you shouldn't be feeling any cravings for sweets at all by now. I'm wondering if you've eaten something with hidden sugar in it? Try having a SF jello with a little SF Cool Whip on it, or a ricotta creme dessert. One of my favorites is the SB Peanutbutter Cup, I have one almost every night.
