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!
