Hello Fellow Smashers!!!!
 

Good Luck to everyone on meeting your goals.

Judy- I would really be interested in the muffin recipe. Getting tired of smoothies. egg whites, and oatmealsfor breakfast.

Feeling kind of down. Hopefully my energy level will pick up later for me to workout.

Going to the grocery store after work to re-stock on fruits and veggies. I can't wait to go back to Phase II. I actually am missing some cold cereal!!!

Everyone have a great evening and Keep on Smashing!!!!

Hi Smashers!!

I have MIA for a couple of days. I just haven't had time to post.

Rachel~ Pizza IS my weakness. The bad thing is that I don't just eat a little bit. I eat too much.

Linda~ I love spaghetti squash. We had it for supper tonight.

Welcome to all of the newbies!!

day 3
 

:^: hello everyone this site is amazing !!!! im on day three of detox day one and two were hard for me , but i feel good today. this is my 2nd try at fat smash the first time i stayed on the diet for 12 days and lost 9 lbs. This time im doing it with friends and find its much easier. plus knowing you guys are here and all theese great recipies >>>> this is a sure thing !!!!!

Linda~ Hey... I cut mine in half and scoop out the seeds and membranes in the middle. Then, I cook it (cut side down) in the oven at 350 for about an hour. It is done when you can stick a knife in it without any resistance. The texture isn't like spaghetti. Sometimes it is a little bit crunchy and others it is sort of mushy. It turns out different for me sometimes. I like it. Dh likes it, too. There are other ways to cook it. You can boil it whole. Just make sure that you have a pot that is big enough. I don't. Or you can bake it whole... you have to prick the squash with a knife or ice pick all over if you do this. It would explode otherwise. lol. Or you can cut it in half and wrap it in plastic wrap and microwave it. I think you have to prick the squash for this, too. I just find that baking it is easier. When you get it done.. let it cool. Then... If you haven't already... remove the seeds and membranes from the middle. Then take a fork and start at the top of the squash...using downward motion... pull the spaghetti like stands out. One squash makes a lot of spaghetti. Good Luck!

Sherry

WELCOME crackers! It is great that you are smashing with friends! Good luck to you!

Jenn~ (((hugs))) I hope things are better for you soon.

MIA no longer
 

The day before Halloween, I so wanted to eat carbs and fat that I went to an Asian buffet! Bad idea -- and my stomach let me know the whole next day. The next two days were okay, but not the best. I got back on track yesterday. Now I weigh in tomorrow and I just hope to not have gained anything!


And I really wanted fried chicken, so I put my Cheerios into my food processor to make bread crumbs. Used them on my chicken and then baked in the oven. Anyone have a better FS recipe for fried chicken?

Take care,
Bonnie Jean

Hey Bonnie Jean~ I think that you had a great idea for fried chicken. How did it taste? Way to be creative! Sorry you got sick... Our bodies know what is best for them. I had a similar experience with pizza a while back. UGH!


Sherry

Good Morning All!

Bouncy -- Just noticed you ticker and you amazing weight lose:cp:! Did you lose it all on the FSD and how long did it take you? Just curious and so tickled that you are so close to goal!

Sherry -- It tasted okay. I'm wondering if I needed to double dip the chicken in the egg wash and the "bread crumbs" to make it a little more crispy. I also think that I should have turned them over half way through baking. The other side seemed a bit squishy. I also added some dill mix spice to the "bread crumbs". The best part was that it was a meal that I could eat with my family. We had brown rice and peas with the chicken. Granted DH poured soy sauce all over his rice, but we ate together! LOL And BTW, I love spaghetti sqaush too! Although, no one else in the house does! I microwave mine just because it is faster. Before FS, I would butter mine to death and sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder! But now, I use diced tomatoes and spices -- yummy!

Good morning for me! :goodscale 2 pounds down :carrot: !!!!! I'm extremely happy because of my binge at the Asian buffet! Also, I met a new friend that belongs to a run/walking club and said that I could join her! :running: So I think I have a new exercise partner!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Take care,
Bonnie Jean

Been doing great & I'll be posting a "pumpkin pie" recipe today but I have to leave soon so don't have time right now. I just love Phase II & think I'll stick with it to goal & instead of eating the allowed daily treats I'll just have allowed "cheats" when necessary (for special occasions). At the worse, if I really feel the need for whole wheat bread I'll allow that once in a blue moon (when I'm ready for Phase III). I really have no desire for any other foods than what are allowed on Phase II right now.

Bonnie Jean - You might want to try "flake" type cereal next time as I can't imagine Cheerios holding any kind of crisp once they get moistened. I think years ago there was a recipe for fried chicken on the Corn Flakes (or similar cereal) box.

Just checking in for today. I had my first hard day yesterday. I ate great up until at night at a football game. I was down last night, but woke up to be back to where I was. I still have not lost anything on this first week of phase 2, but it's that Halloween candy that keeps calling my name.

Hey Smashers!!!

How is everyone doing? I am still smashing. Dh has been on FS with me and has lost 44 lbs. He is leaving Sunday to go out of state for a week to work. He is taking his fruit and oatmeal with him. lol. We hope that we will be able to stick to the plan while he is working out of state. We have been each others motivation. He will be working this way for quite a while. A few months... I think. He will be gone 5 days...be off 2 and then do it all over again.

Bonnie Jean~ Great job on the 2 lbs lost!! I think I do remember something about using corn flakes for oven fried chicken. COOL... an new exercise partner!! A buddy is a good motivator.

Judy~ Thanks for posting the pumpkin pie recipe. I love phase 2 also. I have been smashing since 9/5 and I haven't gone to phase 3 yet. I don't know that I will. I don't feel like I am missing anything by being on phase 2.

GoldenLover~ Hi! Holidays are hard... "DON'T LISTEN TO THE CANDY!!" lol.
Hang in there. Keep smashing and the weight will come off. For me... phase 2 was a huge dose of reality. It is normal to lose 1 to 2 lbs a week. After losing so much on phase 1... it took me a while to adjust to a slower loss. But, I am still losing. :)


Have a great night all...
Sherry
