Definitely me! I'm doing the full two weeks.

Yes, I'm continuing with it through Sunday the 26th. I'll start a new thread for next week on Sunday monring.

I totally fell off the bandwagon--But I'm going to re-start on Saturday or Sunday and do the full two weeks.
Mmckellen, I think the pound was water weight, there is no way I could have lost a pound of fat in three days, but usually my water fluctuates by 3-4 lbs. Or else my scale is wrong.

I'm going with the full two weeks, though I'm missing my green monsters in the morning. I tried a green monster without the fruit and they are a little....um....uh...

[K9Owner]

Zeffryn: I green monsters! I think you could substitute the banana for Greek Yogurt! I made a protein shake today and used yogurt instead of the banana and it was YUMMILICIOUS!

1 scoop whey
1/2 cup Vanilla us Almond Milk
3 oz plain Greek Yogurt
1 T sf Chocolate syrup
1/4 tsp Coconut Flavoring

I'm sticking it out the full two weeks.

Mmckellen, probably was the sbd 'flu'. I feel much better today. I didn't know you were supposed to take it easy on exercise during the first week. If I have energy issues tomorrow I won't beat myself up about it.

Last night I dreamed I was eating a cup of baby carrots. Not something I've ever craved or wanted before. Weird. And when I saw cherries at the grocery store I almost lunged at them. They are my favorite fruit. I can't wait for phase 1.5 where I allow myself a serving of berries or cherries a day. It hurts to avoid them when they are in season.

B: 1 cup ff plain yogurt and 2TBSP natural pb
S: 1 hard boiled egg, 1 cup of veggies and 1 tbsp hummus
L: Squash Pizza and a few jicama strips
D: 3-4oz grilled pork tenderloin, green beans, salad with yogurt parm dressing
S: string cheese and jicama strips

Tons of water, I don't keep count. It's all I drink beside one coffee or tea in the morning and the occasional herbal tea at night.

Went for a long walk today, pushed DD up a ton of hills.

Hi everyone!
Today marks my 2 weeks since I started P1.
I haven't lost that much but I did get my period this week (over now). In fact if I go with the weight two Sundays ago, I have lost only 2 kilos.
For the promises of a lot of pounds lost in 2 weeks, I am very disappointed. But as my friend said, it's STILL a loss... and frankly, I've cut out everything "bad" and my portions were always small so even if I say "this diet isn't for me" I don't know a diet that IS because I only eat lean meats and veggies (lettuce and cucumber and tomato only). I cheated a little twice but I made up for it the next day.
I will stick with it of course but it makes me a little sad that at this rate it will take me years to lose any significant amount and we want to try for a new baby... I am 33 so I don't really have "years" to wait... but then again I was 27 when I had my boys and I did everything right and still ended up with special needs preemies so...

Sorry about the mopping, I am really an upbeat person but I have resisted everything I crave and love to eat with very small results I need to see a doctor I think as I do have hormonal issues. Maybe I need T4 again or something.

Anyway, here's yesterday's menu for me:
B: Beans, boiled egg, two slices of turkey bacon
S: Two Laughing Cow Light wedges
L: Lean ground beef stuffed zucchini and a little bit of feta cheese
S: Two or three slices of turkey
D: Lettuce and chicken breast salad but I only ate half the portion

Chocoholix, congratulations for completing Phase 1! I'm sorry that you didn't lose as much as you'd anticipated, but you have to remember that this plan does not promise that you'll lose a lot in the first two weeks, it's just a possibility. I bet you're noticing that your clothes are a lot loser, though, and that you are feeling better. Phase 1 is a detoxing period, and Phase 2 is where the serious weightloss begins. Hang in there and rejoice in the fact that you are doing your body so much good by eating healthier.

P1D6 for me. Since I don't weigh myself and don't even own a scale, I have no idea whether I've lost any weight, but something good is happening. I don't have that muffin top any more!

B. Flax muffin with a smear of peanutbutter
S. Greek yogurt w/chia and toasted almond sf syrup
L. veggie filled salad w/roasted chickpeas, avocado and Laughing Cow blue cheese
S. cucumber rounds topped with hummus
D. crackslaw

[Mmckellen]

Saturday:
B: leftover mashed cauliflower
L: COMPLETELY OFF PLAN McDonald's 6 pc. chix nuggets and a small fries, bbq sauce
S: lf lebanese string cheese, black olives, roasted chick peas (went to the middle eastern market today!), wine
D: spinach pie

I am editing this at 5:20pm. Today was completely off plan but I want to be honest about exactly what I ate to keep myself accountable. Tomorrow will be back on plan. In fact I'm going to start the thread now.

K9 - I used yogurt in it as I always do, I just didn't add any other sort of flavors. I'm a huge veggie fan, but apparently pureed kale and veggie soup in a cup for breakfast was not working for me. I tried it again this morning with this combo, it was better.

1 scoop vanilla sun warrior
1 scoop greens powder
big ol' handful of kale
1/3 cucumber, peeled (I think that was a problem before - BITTER!)
US almond milk
greek yogurt
stevia and vanilla extract, coconut extract

---
P1

1: green monster smoothie (recipe above)
2: kale salad w/ thai pnut dressing
3: edamame
4: kale salad w/ hummus dressing

exercise: 60 min. zumba
