Ladean: No you didn't come across bossy. Sometimes we need that swift kick in the pants to get us refocused. You will be proud I ate on plan all day .
Hey Smashers!!! Congrads to everyones accomplishments. I just finished day 7 of Phase I, looks like so far a pound a day. I can't believe it. This is great. I will be moving on to Phase II on Friday and was wondering if anyone can show me what their planned menu looked like for this phase.
Like I said before, I can make anything simple hard. I would appreciate any help I can get. I would also like to say it is so nice to be able to chat with people who have the same probs as me and everyone seems to have great solutions. Reading everyones reply has really helped me solve some of my own probs. Thank y'all so much.

Ladean- Did you survive the wind? It had calmed down a bit. So cold<<<<
have agood day buddie.
Hello all, have been busy and reading You on a diet, not much time to post. Went off the program for a week as it was my birthday and as I said in another thread those Dunkin Donut Pumkin muffins were calling me everynight after work. It got to the point on the third day I just went there without even thinking about it. I am done now. What was wrong with me. Back to detox this week. I am looking forward to it.
Kathy
Good morning all you Fat Smashin queens...I was telling my friend Linda, that I've been playing around with this plan a bit, and I think I have it figured out, how the easiet way for me to maintain is. I do phase 4, 2 days a week, then phase 3 for 2 days then phase 2 for 2 days, then detox for one day, and I am Staying the same of the scale, and it's fun to mix it up...LINDA: Yes the wind was something, glad it's gone, but burrrrrr it was cold this morning....KATHY: It's so easy to get back into old eating habits, we all have to learn to break them and learn better ones, that we can live with forever, that's what is so great about FS, if we have a few bad day, we can always jump back on detox, but even if we have that option, we should still be working on our way of thinking towards food. It's too easy to say, ok, I am going to binge on cookies this week and next week I'll do detox and lose it, for one that's not healthy for our bodies to be treated like a yoyo, it's hard on our hearts...Learning new, healthy habits is the key, trust me, I've learn that the hard way LOL.
Just wanted to hop on and say hi to everyone. Joshua has been sick today... he has a stomach bug. Poor baby. This is the first time he has ever thrown up. I feel so sorry for him. But I know it has to run it's course.

KEEP SMASHING!
Sherry
Poor baby, hope he's better soon. it's so hard when our kids get sick, they don't understand what's going on...Hang in there hun
Hope everyone is having a smashing day! It's funny, I'm so looking forward to my lunch today which was a homemade hamburger helper type casserole using very lean ground beef (drained, even though it was 97% ff), some corn, brown rice & other Phase II acceptable stuff and it was sooooo good I can't wait to have the leftovers for lunch. My palate is definitely changing.
I don't know if I'll ever be able to stomach a frozen meal again. I've never loved them & after eating so healthy I don't think I'll be able to enjoy one at all. Pizza is a different thing & I haven't tried the pizza recipe yet but I think I'll have to make it one of these days, although I'll admit it doesn't sound too appetizing (& I can use real cheese since I'm on Phase II). The crust doesn't sound good to me.
I was doing my toning exercises last night & tried using my 6 Second Abs I got off of E-bay. I started feeling my chest muscles pulling (something that started bothering me the last time I was really working out) & although it most likely does mean I wasn't doing the workout properly, I know when this started happening a few years back I was using proper form doing my crunches. Not sure I like the 6 Second Ab thing but I'll continue trying it & see if I can master it properly without hurting myself. Might be going back on E-bay!
Linda - That's what is so good about FS. We can go to a restaurant & make certain choices & either stay 100% on plan or go off a bit & be able to detox. Keep up the cheering!
Ladean - That sounds like a great maintenance plan. I'm already planning on how to handle maintenance & I think this time I'll really only eat treats once in a while (not every day like I have done in the past - even though I restricted my intake - until the binge monster would show up). If I don't allow my treats on a daily basis I can keep the need for these things at bay.
Sherry - I hope Joshua feels better soon. As a parent we feel so helpless sometimes when our children are suffering. Now my adult children are making me suffer - LOL!
Nelle - It's good you don't mind being "nudged" to get back on track. On WW I was a member of Bootcamp Buddies forum where cheating was not allowed. A lot of new members didn't stay because they really got scolded when they admitted to going off track. I loved that forum because it did keep me accountable.
JJaye - You're doing great! Here's what I ate yesterday:
Breakfast = 1 "fried" egg (a whole egg cooked in my non-stick pan with a quick spritz of Pam) w/melted American cheese (less than 1 oz.)
Lunch = A serving (equal to less than 1 cup of brown rice) of fried brown rice made with bean sprouts, red & orange peppers, onion, garlic, portabella mushrooms, spices, 3 drops of sesame seed oil (in the entire recipe), 1/2 cup egg substitute (again, for the entire recipe) & some lite soy sauce.
Snack = 1 whole grain Quaker rice cake, 1 slice "pumpkin pie" (filling made with Phase II approved foods - no crust) - around 100 calories/serving.
Dinner = 3.5 oz. filet mignon, some leftover sweet potato fries, steamed broccoli & 3 fresh pineapple wedges.
Snack = decaf latte made with approx. 1/2 c. skim milk & cinnamon on top, an approved FS muffin made with banana & pumpkin.
The entire day was around 1300-1400 calories (my max this week is 1500 calories). I had a lot of variety with fruit & veggies and was full without feeling stuffed.
Kathy - At least FS allows a failsafe when you do go off plan. I think that's why we all like it. However, I know if I go off too much I'll just keep gaining & losing the same pounds over & over so I do try to keep any planned cheats far & few between.
Dollface - I'll have to check out half.com. I always gravitate towards E-bay or Amazon. However, doing a price check the other day there were lower priced places for an item I was looking for.
JJaye - I started P2 yesterday and here is what I ate:
breakfast - fruit smoothie (recipe on recipes thread)
snack - 1 c grapes
lunch - 3 oz shrimp sauteed w/ I can't believe its not butter spray, minced garlic (I use powder when I don't have fresh) and some random seasonings - salt, pepper, basil or Italian seasoning. 1 c brussel sprouts w/ butter spray.
dinner - 4 oz sauteed scallops cooked same as shrimp, boiled cabbage, 1 hardboiled egg
snack - 1/4 c soy nuts
Today
Breakfast - steel cooked oats w/ cinnamon, butter spray, 1 pkg splenda, 1 cooked apple sliced & mixed up in my oats
snack - 1 c strawberries
lunch - 1 4 oz piece of fish (I used Tilapia but grouper or any mild fish will do) sauteed in a pan w/ lite sodium chicken broth, lemon pepper seasoning, minced garlic, minced onion and I ate this over 1 c brown rice
snack - fruit smoothie
dinner - I will probably have some steamed asparagus w/ lemon seasoning & butter spray. I am not in the mood for more meat so if I eat anything else it will be corn or broccoli
snack - either soy nuts or soy crisps
Its funny that I haven't really even enjoyed to seafood I have had yet. I probably could still live without fish or meat. Maybe I will try some chicken or beef this weekend. What I really want is a loaf of warm bread w/ butter and a big old plate of pasta These are the things I miss the most. I could trade my dessert & meat for those things anytime! Ok, enough daydreaming...have a great Thursday.
Hi Sherry, I hope you baby is feeling better by the time you read this!!

Lets stay focused and do what we have to do. We all know this is the
best plan around. Everyone have a great weekend. take care of all
of you.
Wow, I had my first forbidden food calling my name last night since starting FS (today's my last day on Phase II). Thank goodness I didn't just run and grab the bag of the Kettle Bakes potato chips I have lying around. A measured portion is only 120 calories & has 2 grams of fiber so it wouldn't have derailed my daily calories since I only had about 1300 out of the 1500 I was allowing myself.
First off, I've been reading lately about white potatoes and how they digest too quickly and set off an insulin (or glucose - not sure) spike. I do remember reading somewhere that your body doesn't really know the difference between a white potato and a candy bar, although I would think the potato would have more nutrients.
So I've got this strong urge to go for it and the will power to keep myself in my chair and think it out, or at least wait a few minutes to see if it will go away. Funny thing is, I had exercised not too long prior to this urge. Exercising usually curbs all cravings/hunger for me.
However, I was watching a tv show (Ugly Betty) where they were eating Thanksgiving dinner. I think the comfort food thing kicked in watching that.
Seemed like once that skit was over (& I drank some tea), the feeling passed. I'm so glad I waited for it to leave, and it really only took 5-10 minutes to completely go away.
So maybe if we just wait when we get a bad urge it will leave. Next time this happens I'm going to give it at least 15 minutes and if I still have the urge I'll try to drink something first and wait some more time. In the past I would have grabbed that chip bag immediately, when the urge was still strong.
The other thing I noticed was how strong the urge was. I felt like a drug addict needing a fix! I'm surprised it went away as quickly as it did. Whew! That was a close one...
Tonight will be fun. My dh's band is playing at a really fun place and a lot of my friends are going. This place gets to standing room only so dh & I are going early to try to get a table. The place doesn't take reservations. It's a bar/lounge/restaurant. I'm going to have a salad since they have a large selection of them. I'm actually looking forward to a salad - I can't believe it!

I can't believe it. This is great. I will be moving on to Phase II on Friday and was wondering if anyone can show me what their planned menu looked like for this phase.
