1 day to go!! I'm weighing in Wednesday morning after day 9! Im so excited! my clothes are fitting looser...and i can already tell a difference in my stomach region...now if i could just get rid of these hugh thighs! anyone have any recommendations for how to get rid of those lol!

GoalDown I have only 1 day to go also. YAY for us! even though I intend to stay on Phase one at leats another week or 2 I can''t wait to do my weigh in. I don't feel any lighter but let's just hope thats in my mind...lol

Big thighs hmmm you got me on that one, I have them too! If you find out the secret to rid ourselves of them let me know.

Sounds good...i dont know how to go bout losing them! UGH! i plan to stay on phase 1 but modify it some depending on the weight loss! YAY US! Tomorrow is our last day then we can weigh in!

Hi everyone!

Day 1 for me! Everything has gone well so far. I had the kitche stocked with all phase 1 foods, so that was really helpful today.

Breakfast- 1 cup oatmeal made with 1/2 cup soymilk and 1/2 cup water, diced apple thrown in.
Snack- Small bowl of watermelon
Lunch- Salad with black beans, corn, green peppers, tomato, cucumber and 2 tbsp fat free italian.
Snack-yogurt
Dinner- will be...Mexican rice, side of pinto beans, and some steamed veggies.
Snack- 1 1/2 cups soymilk and banana

My husband is doing the plan with me, too. He already warned me that he might be crabby due to the lack of his favorite foods. lol. Exercise-wise will be kinda tough. I think I hyperextended my knee a few weeks ago and it's still sore. Then last week I busted my toe on the same leg, so I'm not able to be real physical. I might try to go swimming.

Hope you all have a great Monday!

Good morning ladies!!! DAY 9 FOR ME! So excited!!! I feel so good and my clothes fit alittle looser....i am currently wearing a pair of pants that a week ago, where way too tight...and they fit snugly now but its also TOM so who knos maybe next week they will be even looser! I cant wait to add a little bit of chicken in here...just for variety...i'm content with the food im eating but i need that "spice-up" to make dinner more interesting. I think for lunch tomorrow i will make a can of chicken salad with FF ranch dressing and pepper instead of mayo...seeing as i make it with ranch any other time!

Hey everyone... Today is my last day on Phase I. I weigh in tomorrow. Yippeeeeee.

Hello everyone,
and curvygirl 46 thanks for your response and yes I was born and raised in

Chicago, and no I am not there but in 7 more days I'm going home! I'm a travel nurse on assignment in Orlando, Florida. Now on to my very stressful day, took the kids to Universal Studios, and oh did I suffer folks! Doritos, nachos, chili dogs, double cheeseburgers..... you get the picture?
I was so depressed but hey I hung in there! I ate my oatmeal and fruit before I got there, drank plenty of water and I had plenty of fruit and veggies, but I was very miserable and oh so tempted. This is phase 1 day 6 and I guess the scale will tell, and hopefully my will power paid off.

Drum Roll!!!!
 

Good morning ladies, well this is it are you ready! As you all know I have completed the final phase of 1 yesterday. This morning I weighed myself and I have lost a total of 8lbs. I was shocked considering that I missed 3 days of working out. This diet appears to be working and I am ready for more! Phase 2 here I come.:dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:



:dust:

Congrats MissVee...wish i had the same results as you! I lost 4 but i also think that it will be more once TOM is gone! Not weighing myself again til next Wednesday so i dont discourage myself! I too am starting phase one...i have my 2.5 oz's of chicken salad today...gonna eat that with some grapes and a yogurt possibly...i had special k for breakfast....it was soo yummy...i missed my special k!

Hey ya'll

So yesterday was my last day on phase 1 and guess what? I lost between 9lbs-10.5 lbs (I weighed my self last night and then this morning). Oh yea go me.

I dont have any cravings for meat and I also still have all my morningstar veggie meat so I'm gonna stick with that until I am done. So it's a modified Phase 1 because I want to eat shrimp. Thats about the only thing I am adding oh and I am upping my exercise to 45 mins instead of leaving it at an 30 mins.

yeah im gonna step up my exercise routine...i think thats where i messed up...last week i did 1 day of workout dvd for 30 mins, 1 day of walking for 30 mins and the 3 days of 30 min swimming. so far this week i havent done anything...i think im putting in my dvd today and making myself go all the way through it...which is an 1 hr...its intense...but i need it! i want to shed myself of this weight!

hey everyone...just checking in...weighing in tomorrow...second week of phase 2...should have a steady drop...im hopefully getting about a 6-7 pound drop since wednesday....given that i have been working out a little more even though i never really added any of the foods from phase 2...

an additional setback aside from the shin splints...messed up my shoulder last night at the gym...heard a tear, rip, pop, crack (all of the above) with one of my tricep exercises...after doing a couple things...im determining that it is a shoulder injury based on the motion of the exercise and where it actually hurts (tricep feels fine, shoulder not so good)...sooo i may have to get to a sports doctor/therapist if the pain continues in the next couple of days...for now i will have to stick only to cardio...i actually went 55 minutes of cardio last night instead of my normal 25-35 (i only do about 25-35 since i was doing weight training right before)....so im going to increase cardio to about 55-60 minutes per day now and just stick to that....kinda bummed about this :(

good job everyone! I will start posting in this forum also..I lost 4 lbs and 6 inches on Phase 1 and I've been on Phase 2 since saturday..I weighed today and I'm down half a pound...not too bad but it is time to 'up' my workouts so I can lose much more!

weight today: 140

must escape the 140ssss and say hello to 130ssss

down to 172 since last thursday morning of 176....so 4 pound drop...in week 2 of phase 2....goal by august 16th = 162/160....next goal from there will depend on how i like the low 160 weight....if i dont...then drop down to low 150....145 is "good" weight for me but we'll see...i would prefer not to drop down there...i'll be a stick... :|

WTG girls on those losses-- my weigh in will be Sunday but i'm pretty sure i want have those big numbers since i havent' exercised much but i'm still happy that i'm following a healthier routine

hugs, Christy

Hello all! Christy, it doesn't matter how much weight you lose. Even if you have not worked out that much you should still see or be able to tell a difference. You might be surprised. At least we are all putting forth that effort and in the end it will pay off. Keep on pushing!!!!:angel:

Phase 1 Weigh-in
 

Good Morning,
Today was my weigh-in for phase 1 and I was happy to find out that I lost 7 lbs! More than I was expecting since I have always had an extremely hard time losing weight. This diet rocks! Since this is only my 2nd message, I have to say that these boards were such an inspiration and guide when I started that I had to join. Have a great day!

Hey all,

It's been a while since I have checked in. I am a week and 2 days into my modified phase 1 and I weighed in this morning and found out I lost another 4 lbs..Oh yea go me. I'm sooo happy. I love this.

Congrats to Dreamdancer

MissVee, Goaldown50 how are you guys doing?
