Thanks so much Mary! I went to the grocery today after my dental ordeal(teeth cleaning) and got some blackberries, rasberries, and blueberries for a little variety with the smoothies. Also got Jillian's Chocolate Whey this time. This is my 8th day on Reset...can't wait to get out of it, lol! Gosh, looks like you had a great dinner tooo:) ttyl!

Cindy

Hey vbudafly...nice to meet you! I'm jealous, lol!...WOW, day 18:carrot: Keep up the good work!

Hmmm, i don't about the cheese thing either. I do know you can have low fat cottage cheese tho. I wonder about the weighing thing too. Like you, i also get VERY discouraged if the scale hasn't moved in the direction i'd like:(....so i usually weigh once a week. ttyl!

Cindy

Hi Iodine!..good to meet you. Oh, i love Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz. I learned about this diet from the Dr. Phil show. So far, i am loving it:) I'm still in Reset Phase (8th day today). It's always nice to have something new and refreshing to look forward to. I think you've picked a pretty good Xmas present to yourself;) I like the way it gives you a simple blueprint to 'everything' you have to do. I'm really not an exercise fan, but somehow i'm really excited about this!! You will do GREAT:carrot: ttyl!

Cindy

Hi Carolr! YOU have done sooooo well...hope i can follow in your footsteps:) I guess i get to anxious sometimes to see immediate results...i'm working on that!! Nice to meet you. Are you on any maintenence program? ttyl!

Cindy

Carolr...that is awesome! Good for you!

One thing to keep in mind is Phase 1 starts out with about 35 minutes of exercise and works up from there. I would think you should work through them at your own pace and work up.

KARDIO + YOGA CORE
STRENGTH PUSH + ABS
STRENGTH PULL + LOWER BODY
KARDIO + YOGA CORE
STRENGTH PUSH + ABS

Today was an easy menu for me....and very filling which was a good thing.

B~smoothie 1
L~Spinach, Turkey, Radish, Cukes and Balsamic
D~my version of chili. :) 1/4 C Beans, 2 OZ Ground Turkey Cooked, Chopped Tomato and Chili Seasoning. REALLY good and filling.
S~Veggies and NF Plain Greek Yogurt

Water, Black Coffee (I have 2 cups in the morning...plan says 1), Green Tea, lemon Water.

Some People that don't like black coffee are putting a dash of unsweetened Almond Milk in their coffee.....which I though was interesting.

WOW! Way to many "newbies" touting this plan for me to take it seriously. I completely was NOT impressed w/Dr. Phil's excerpt on it and even less so now. Things like this REALLY irk me.

Hold out everybody and purchase nothing now. I am sure the "set" will be coming to a garage sale near you soon!

You know, when I first saw the show air a month or so ago I thought Dr. Phil was giving a personal plug to his friends. Now, I am absolutely CERTAIN of it. The show re-aired today just four weeks later. Of course, we are right on top of the New Year--a time when everyone and their Momma's dog decides they are going to lose weight.

Again, ORDER NOTHING LADIES. The answers are right here and they are free!! So is walking, hiking, running, etc. If this PINK method really offers some BIG BANG, we will all know it shortly. We don't need to spend a bunch of money on a magical box of answers.

Ya Cindy this is difficult, but I am really happy Ive been following through. Today I had to add the kardio video with push and I was pretty pooped. I havent been too good at being creative in my food quite yet, but now that college is done and my school job is on break, I can come up with some better meal choices. In 2009 I lost 50 lbs, and kept most of it off till this summer after I got married. So, here I am again, loosing a little at a time, but with these videos they aren't as difficult as insanity....so I look forward to doing them. I also grew up dancing 6 days a week, so this whole schedule thing is really making me stay accountable. My goofy friend still weighs herself everyday, and said something about not working out at night because of the PINK shake. Well, I can only workout around 10 at night, when my boys are sleeping, so I have my shake late. Any suggestions, eek I still haven't made it to the gym to weigh in...but I did clean house and make some healthy crazy mask to make my face/skin glow. (Ive been taking more vitamins and stuff since my mom is staying with me, she has tons of organic and natural stuff, its like a health food store in my house lately, fooorrr reals) So ya, Im staying strong, and so proud that I haven't been stuffing my face and feel no longer feel controlled by food. I really do feel a release of ''food burden'' and am proud I am actually workingout more....yay! I am excited to go back to my ZUMBA classes too. Anywho...take care....And "Daaaaah" to all those talking about PINK being the 'NEW' thing, we all know this, and ya trust me, its going to be all over the TV especially in January, so at least us who are on here are ahead of them, and those who are just in it for the 'fad' more than likely wont be looking to post on here where there are wise women from all different backgrounds and lifestyle changes! So GOOO EVERYONE....NO MATTER WHAT "METHOD" YOU CHOOSE! WOOT WOOT WE ARE LOSING BEFORE JAN 1ST! even if it's one pound lol..WORK IT LADIES!!!

MWALLACE I have two cups of coffee too, lol I have to have my coffee lol....I LOVE COFFEEEEEE!!!! AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR YUMMY DINNER PLAN...SOUNDS SOOO GOOD..IM GUNNA MAKE THAT!! IM SO PROUD OF YOU CINDY...MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU...YOU DESERVE THAT GIFT.... hey and don;t get discouraged by any of the videos, man Im always taking breaks....Im 27 and wiegh 157 (last I checked)..lol so Im always pausing and drinking my water....breathing super hard during the jumping jacks...eeeek! lol "I used to be a dance and cheerleader....ha ha ha" I feel like a terd....but Im gettin stronger the last 2 days!!! (my triceps especially)

ya - it has been on THE DOCTORS a couple of times too so I am pretty sure they are all in cahoots.

I have been a 'smoothie' for breakfast person for a long time. But I had gotten away from it. I LOVE them. I add hemp seeds to mine. I always had a hard time eating breakfast...just not hungry in the morning so I would either skip it or eat to too late. Smoothies have proven to be a good option for me.

I would like to try some different protein powders to pack in the most nutrition...no soy, no hemp powder (yuck) so I may try the pea powder and keep searching for the perfect whey.

Any suggestions would be welcomed!!

I commend you for staying 'strong' and 'persevering' through it ALL:) WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!! Ditto to the response back about Pink being the NEW thing. Like you said, we are already making PROGRESS:carrot: Hey, congrat's on your marriage! ttyl!

Cindy

Hey Mary and Vbudafly...i have done something i KNOW i shouldn't be doing, BUT, i'm still losing doing it...here goes...i LUVVVVVVVV my coffee too, gotta have'it, but CANNOT drink it black...sooooo i have been putting a few drops of half & half in it, not even a tablespoon. I DID try what someone or Cynthia had suggested about putting the Coconut milk in there, but did not like it one bit:( just thought i'd be honest:)...go ahead y'all, fuss at me, LOL! ttyl!
