Hi everybody! I am on day 3 of Phase 1 and am feeling so great. It's amazing because I feel like I am eating all of the time. The first day on Phase 1 was pretty rough - tired, lethargic, headache - but day two was already better. It's amazing how much I miss my morning coffee! My biggest challenge is drinking enough water each day, but that's already becoming easier. I've never had a diet just *click* for me before. I'm looking forward to my first weigh-in next week and am going to be good and not step on the scale before!
Hey Fierliss,
You rock! Those are amazing results. I'm hoping for something close for my first week on Phase 1.5.
Spacy Stacy - i agree with the "diet Clicking". I really like it, I never feel hungry and I've lost more weight in 9 days than I did in the last 6 months!
Now I'm off to move the box of pastries (UGH!) someone put right next to my desk.
Have a great day all!
I have been reading the post in this forum for several weeks. Congrats on everyone's success!
I am doing EFS. I ran into the bookstore with the kids bought the book and left quickly within reading to see that I should not be using this diet for the amount of weight I need to lose. Rather then go buy the FS book, I decided not to make an excuse an delay starting. I will probably finish at least one more roatation with EFS and then switch to FS.
I am on Day 5 of Cycle 3. I lost 8 lbs between cycles 1 and 2.
Hey Fierliss...i thought that you might have fell off the wagon! Everything is going good...hopped on the scale again this morning (i kno i kno, i shouldnt) and i lost another .5 lbs! Pretty exciting...that puts me at 186.1 and a whole 8.8 lbs in a matter of 2 weeks and 4 days!! Only 41.1lbs to go...i cant wait to be thinner...the jeans and clothes are starting to look fabulous on me!
Hey feirliss I was starting to wonder what happen to you girl. Glad to hear that you have dropped more pounds also. Goaldown please hide that scale. When next week get here your not going to have anything to be excited.lol..... like I can really talk.....I only waited 2 more days after I weighed in. Dreamdancer I am glad you resisted the temptation. Ladies we are on our way. I can see myself now. Don't you just love it!!!
Well I just finished the 3rd cycle and didn't have much luck. I kinda been stuck at the same weight since the 1st cycle, what have you ladies been doing to get your self off the plateau b/c i am at a lost and don't know what to do
So i was so excited yesterday! I went shopping for new school clothes (yes already...only 21 days til i go back...booo!) and i went to old navy...well there was this really cute courdory skirt and a pair of cute army pants...well i grabbed both in a 16 and headed back to the dressing room...to my surprise....they were WAY to big for me! it was so exciting to go out to my fiance and say hunny can you grab me a 14 in both of these! he said "a 14!" i was soo soo ecstatic! cant wait to weigh in on wednesday and see some results!
in other news...this weekend was a little rough...on friday my fiance and i went out to spend sometime with a friend of mine, and because we couldnt figure out anything to do...we went to a diner...where i got an omelette (made with egg beaters, ham and cheese) and fried potatoes and wheat bread (i only ate one slice with no butter) i more than made up for it sat. moring when i had to help my fiance's aunt move and carry heavy furniture up and down 2 flights of steps! UGH! but then i went to the crab feast...did good except eating a slice of cake! But there i made up for it by dancing...doing the fun linedances! Besides that ive been pretty good! Need to step up the work outs and i think the weigh in on wednesday will be good!
Hi everyone! The weekend was rough for me as well. I slipped up big time on Saturday and then Sunday I kept to the diet but was too tired to do any cardio. I was contemplating cutting down the cardio this week but decided against it. I have to get into this size 6 bridesmaid dress for a wedding that is 3 weeks away!
Hi All,
I just finished my first week of Phase 2 and only lost 2.5 pounds. Not as much as I wanted, but then I tried on a pair of jeans I could not put 2 weeks ago and they fit!! I'm wearing them now! I think I have to make some eating adjustments this week and I should have more weight loss success.
Hello all! I am glad to hear that everyone is still holding on. I slipped up this weekend as well. Saturday morning I fixed me a small pancake, 1 scrambled egg, and 3 piceces of thin bacon. It was so gooddddddd, I savored every bite. Today I am back on track and have sensed then worked off those calories. I slipped up what can I say! There is One thing that I can say, the weight is steadily coming off. I just love it! Nobody is perfect however the scale will tell all.
So I'm in bad spirit today...I stepped on the scale and I'm up 3.4lbs! But I'm not changing my ticker because I want to keep looking at that 186.1 and know that I can get there again! For a couple days...maybe even a week, I'm going back to Phase I! I'm going camping this weekend so I know I will be very active because I'm going with my fiance's family, who play on a softball team, and they want to get a game going! So I'll continue to stay active, and eat only items on Phase I and hopefully I will see some weight loss next Wednesday!
In other news, I worked out to Harvey's "fighting fit, fighting fat" dvd last night and instead of doing circuit 1, i decided to do circuit 2 along with the warm up and cool down...let me tell you it has made a difference in my body...my calves, thighs, and arms are all sore from working out. I guess that's a good thing! Well back to eating good, and let's hope for better weight loss next week....
Fierliss, MissVee....how'd you guys do? Any better then me?
How is everyone doing today? I am trying my hardest to not weigh until the weekend. Today is cycle 2 day 3 and there is tons of food today (compared to the last few days!). I am actually stuffed already and I still have 2 meals to go.
I am trying to vary my cardio since I am getting bored with running on the treadmill. My goal is to do 45 minutes on the elliptical/treadmill daily and then a one hour aerobics class 5 times a week. I need to get this weight off so I can look decent in my new bathing suit!
I'm on day 8 of Phase 1 and still holding strong! I had to eat a veggie sandwich for lunch on Monday (because my work doesn't have a can opener for my veggie soup!) and then couldn't resist one of my Mom's snickerdoodle cookies. But I only had one and that's a huge accomplishment for me! I think I'm going to stay on Phase 1 for an additional day and flip to Phase 2 on Saturday.
Anybody who is bored with their workouts, I use Leslie Sansone tapes. She does Walk Away the Pounds and has a TON of different varieties of miles and workouts. I do her walk/kickboxing one as well as an accelerated 2 mile tape. It's an awesome workout that you can do at home! I've bought all my tapes on www.amazon.com. Today I have 70 minutes of water aerobics to look forward to!
Hello everyone! I weighed in the morning and my weight is still the same. No pounds lost and no pounds gained. I am going to increase my workouts. These pounds are going to come off. I am going to weigh myself again Friday. I have been in full force mode this week so I might be surprised. Goaldown thats probably just water weight, that will be gone in no time. I don't know why our bodies fluctuate so much! Do you all think its too soon to begin working with weights? My upper body is to flabby. I am now embarking upon the 3 week of phase 2.
Those are amazing results. I'm hoping for something close for my first week on Phase 1.5.
