Hello ladies,
I've been reading through several posts on different diets and have decided that FS is it for me, so today is day 1. Any one willing to help me stay on track? It seems that you have had great success on it, any tips?
Weigh in today was 177.5, staying off the scale for ten days is gonna be the biggest challenge for me. I'm addicted to the darn thing.

Same here... I usually weigh myself every day, so not getting on the scale will be hard.

I've thought in the past that weighing everyday was a good thing, but my weight can fluctuat throught the day and that can be frustrating. I am will though to give it a shot. Have you done the FS before? How far into it are you now?

I also weigh everyday, but I do it at the same time every morning. I agree with what someone on another forum said. You might be eating something that is causing you to gain and by the time you weigh in later you might have gained weight instead of losing.

I only weigh in the mornings, naked! LOL At night I can be up to 3-5 lbs heavier.

I'm starting tomorrow. I did FS several years ago and loved it! I'm ready to get back at it.

Well day one...soo far soo good!! :)

I did 1 hour of Carmen Electra striptease workout, disc 1 (if you have never done this- get it! it is great!! it's how i got in shape for my wedding 2 years ago!!)
I so far have had:

Breakfast: bottle of water, 4 oz cup of non fat yogurt and 1 c berries

Wahooooooooo I have so much energy!!! 3 meals to go! Btw, hotmamma, we can all be buddies, lol :)

ONE more thing... say a prayer because Mon/Tues blow for me because of grad school/work.... so it's hard.... I am making adjustments, for instance today, being less busy, may be my 2 a day, as opposed to Tuesday when I have a SUPER long day...

Ill keep you posted!

I <3 fat smashing (for now, lol)

So far so good on the smash diet.
Plain yogurt with half of a nectarine for breakfast and my vitamin!
2 waters
1 cup black beans, garlic pwder and red peppers.
I walked for 20 minutes and am patting myself on the back for not calling it quits because it was raining.
I' m very hopeful that this is the jumpstart I need to get the weight off finally and for good.

:carrot:Ok, I was looking for that DVD! Now that I know what's called, i'm gonna get it! I can't wait to put on a cute little out fit for my man and give him a "strip tease" when I get my body back! lol! Thanks for the advice!!!

Oh absolutley, what is your goal weight?

Sounds like a good goal, I hardly gained any with my first and then gained 60 lbs with my last...still carrying some of and he will be 9 this year.
I have to say that I am so full, no room for snacks right now which is what i would be doing otherwise. This is a good thing.

Kristin ~ Glad to hear its going well with day one, hope it continued throughout the day! And I have always wanted to try one of those DVD's maybe I'll get one sometime soon, I think they sound fun.


Hello and welcome to Kari, Melyn, and Hotmama! Thanks for joining us the more the merrier. :)

Today is day 7 for me YAY! I'm still loving it. I must be honest though I have not worked out like I should have, we got iced in last week and I couldn't get to the gym and and lately have been completely unmotivated to workout at home. Earlier some of you were talking about weighing, I myself am compulsive about weighing. I am hoping these first 9 days break that habit too. It has been so hard not to weigh myself for 9 days but I really don't wanna know until day 10 how its going. Hope everyone has a great rest of the day!

Day 1 is almost done, have felt full the entire day,making sure that I ate small meals throughout. Finished up the day with brown rice and steamed asparugus, pretty yummy. It's the lack of Dr.Pepper that is killing me, I so badly want to go out to the garage and grab one, down it in one thirsty gulp and then sigh in fabulous relief.
*sigh*
Day 1 over, 8 more to go.
I hope everyone did well today, good luck tomorrow.

Day one- DONE!!
 

:carrot::carrot::carrot::carrot::carrot::carrot:

That is me happy dancing, like carrot...lol.

Day one is over, I already told you breakfast, and workout, so here is the rest of the day....

Meal 2: 1 c berries and water
Meal 3: small salad, 3TB fat free dressing (i used my snack here- I used a 100 calorie pack of cheese nips on my salad, mmmmmm)
Snack: grapes-15ish, maybe 20
Meal 4: 1 serving of veggies (stir fry- frozen, omg sooooooooo good there are asparagus, squash, carrots, broccoli (not my fave), cauliflower and snap peas i used no fat spray just a tad and a sprinkle of mrs dash no salt) and 1 cup brown rice with a tiny tiny bit of i cant believe its not butter and water

I am going to have at least 3 or so more glasses of water before the end of the night. My body is kind of fighting this, as I am not used to this kind of caloric intake (remember- chubby).... however, I think I will be ok! Many have said the first day is the hardest, and I made it through that. So far, less than 600 calories, which I am not a fan of really. It kind of scares me, for reasons I won't bore you with.... :o

The snacks, which you can have 2, are nice. One is even 2 cups of jello sugar free, which is not a bad deal. I am not too hungry right now... but nice if I want it. There are also "free" snacks which dont even count in your daily intake.

Tommorrow I am more nervous about- I had to move my 2x workout day to Wedneday because it just doesn't fit in my schedule on Tuesdays. Still, with the way my day is, it is hard to fit all these meals in. Darn you college- trying to keep me tubby, lol. However, looking at day 1, i just realized I screwed up because my nightly meal was supposed to be beans and veggies, not rice and veggies- that is tomorrow. UGH :?:

*deep breath* it will get easier.

and to top it off, my hands are shaky- i think from lack of caffeine because i am a cherry coke addict, and i havent had caffeine since yesterday. :coffee:

Ok that was super long, sorry....but I am motivated .... I plan on staying that way!

Just unsure of something- how many calories are you FS regulars taking in a day? Extreme fat smash really sucks your calories down....
