Thanks to Jill's advice, I have decided to try Fat Smash... I am currently waiting for the library to get the book in (apparently it is so popular that no local library has it in). Everyone seems to be doing real well on it. So reading about what everyone is eating and doing through Fat Smash, is giving me an idea of what I am getting myself into.... so far sounds great!

Welcoem ashis!
I love fat smash!! I too was converted by Jill! Dr. Smith shoudl pay her a commission!!

Anyways I finally saw the sale move and I am down 2!!

Hi girls!! So I've been MIA the last couple days lol.. went to my moms and she has no i-net. Anyways I havn't been completley sticking to F.S., it's so hard when you're not at home, but I have been eating healthy, trying to stick to the best choices and exercising. I also just added arm weights to my exercise routine. I have 10lb weights and so far I'm doing 100 every other day, and abs on the opposite days.
So I think the only 'non healthy' thing I had was a packet of 4 oreo cookies lol but I was craving chocolate (TOM) anyways I didn't binge after or anything so I wasn't upset with the cookies, and now even though we have a bunch more packets staring at me in the kitchen, I don't even want any.
I'm going to Sacramento this weekend for a girls weekend, last time I went I had a binge, so hopefully I can control myself. Friday night I'm going out but Saturday I have a day planned with my friend an we're going to walk, we use to walk for ours just giggling and having 'girl talk'. ( I miss that)

ASH I'm so glad you came

BEAUTIFUL Yeah I'm always trying to recruite people for our team lol

Well ladies I read through all of your posts and some are doing awesome, also we have a couple slip ups... I'm just so glad for the slips that we are writing about them! It is so hard to get on here after a bad day sometimes, because you're thinking what the heck am I going to write about? lol

WE CAN DO IT!

Hello ladies! How are you curbing your binges? I haven't had any which is amazing, let me tell you! I found I really don't crave things, besides starbucks now and then and i get non-fat and use it as a treat.

today: salad (mmmmmmmmmm there is this awesome place on campus) and a 2 gram of fat little chocolate lowfat milk, and of course water
dinner tonight, i think veggie lasanga, but i have not decided.

right now, until my teeth are back and i can eat my veggies, etc i am just watching what i eat. most things have to be mushy to not hurt my teeth. i am still going to the gym (did 2.4 miles in 30 minutes today, i was taking it easy a bit, i just feel ick with my mouth throbbing). i have been living off of ibuprofen, i swear, haha.
things are getting crazy. i have 4 classes after this semester till i graduate with my masters. one being an internship this summer, which will be crazy busy for me. i really want to be down around 150 by late august. which will be feasible only if i can get back to smashing soon!!!

anyways, keep it up. i so love our group.

good luck to all!

Hi everyone, new here. I have spent some time reading a lot of the blogs on the Fat Smashing and I am convinced that this is definately something that I would like to do.

I have gained some much needed motivation after reading some of the supportive blogs that you guys post with each other.

I have about 75 lbs to loose with, 3 years later , still having my "baby weight" to take off and the Fat Smashing sounds like a great, healthy way of eating to get my butt in gear.

A couple questions, just getting started are:

What does a typical day (as far as diet and exercise) look like and consist of during Phase 1 just to get an idea of what to prepare for.

And also I created a "diet ticker" to keep track of my weight loss, does anyone know where I go to download that onto my profile on this website?

Good luck to everyone....take care.

Hi everyone
I managed to get back on track and am down another 2 lbs. I have sort of been doing phase 1 this week but I had heese and chicken so I guess more phase 2 without the carbs!

Anyways now I am going fully into phase 2 and we'll see how that goes.

mandy! For me a typical P1 day was
B: fruit smoothie
S: fruit or yogurt
L: sweet potato fries or grilled veggies
S: oatmeal cookies or brown rice krispie treat
D: veggie burger or nuggets and slad or steamed veggies.

Hope that helps

Also in the evenings I woudl have a snack sometimes usually soy milk flavored.

MANDYGIRL....... For your weight ticker you go up to 'Edit Signature', which is under 'QUick Links'

WIFEY... I want to be 140 by late August so we have similar goals You're doing awesome!

2BEAUTIFUL.... Another 2lbs!! You go girl you're doing wonderful.

Well ladies good luck to everyone this weekend, hopefully even when we are not fully on our FS diet, we are still not binging No binges for me this week.

I'm about to get ready for my 3 hour drive back to my hometown. I hate being in the car for a long time, bored..driving by all he fast food. Yucko. Anyways I have faith I can be a good girl this weekend.

Thanks ladies, I appreciate your help. I joined the online "Celebrity Fit Club", for 1 month at a time, to be able to print off the Fat Smash diets and exercise plans, just seemed more convenient then getting the book at the store and I am anxious to start tomorrow I will check in as I progress.

Hope everyone has a good weekend and thanks again for such a supportive group!

hey girls!
happy weekend
i've done so so this week. i went to a concert wed night and drank and drank. funny i was down a lb this morning. i didn't eat dinner last night and only ate oatmeal and yogurt for dinner on wed so i'm sure the lb will find it's way back but i hope not. i'm contemplating doing WW with a fat smash base. So trying to not eat bad carbs and sugar but if i do it has to fit within my range of points. I just keep thinking i should be losing faster and i know it's because i overeat. Like my salads could feed all the easter bunnies in the united states, not just the one that comes around my town. then i feel like i have to have a supplement to the salad and so i eat even more. anyone else feel like that?
how is everyone doing?

b: yogurt, banana, oatmeal
l: salad (it was actually small but bad stuff on it, feta cheese, mozz cheese, almonds, egg, gonzo beans, no salad dressing), progresso black bean soup, apple
s: yogurt
d: big salad (gonzo beans, tuna salad (mayo and dill relish - which has no sugar), tomatoes, feta cheese, dressing), brocolli, diet dr pepper

Hello, Ladies! So, I've been away for a bit...but I wasn't avoiding you all.

I haven't had a good week and have no one to blame but myself. It was a complete lack of planning and will power. I work in the events industry and had a few industry events this week, too. Unfortunately, some of the best restaurants in town were serving food, so I couldn't turn it down. It was from the four and five star restaurants in town, which is hard to get reservations, let alone pay for them! And this was FREE! I also had a cheese steak this week, which I don't normally eat that much, but I was downtown (Philly girl!), and it just smelled so good. And the thing is, I don't regret it for a second. I'm planning on going back to P1 this week, which was always the plan, so I'm just going to regroup and get back on the wagon.

I have found from this past year that when I forbid anything from myself, that's when I normally end up binging, but if I let myself cave in a little bit to my cravings, I'll pretty much stay on track.

Good luck this week, ladies! I know we can all do it! Woo Hoo!!!

Cute new picture HOTMAMA

Hi Ladies -

Just joining your great group. I started Phase One one week ago today. I'm down 5.5 pounds. I CANNOT wait to eat some meat on Wednesday.

I started FS after watching Celebrity Fit Club. If those people were losing 6-8pounds the first week, I thought that would be a great jump start to losing weight. I got the book at the library, got a girlfriend to join me for support and then found this great forum.

I'm glad to find so many other people in the same boat - willing to talk about challenges and success.

Let's all have a THINNER summer!

everyone is changing their pictures and getting so cute! i love it!

jill - we do have similar goals, but you are closer.

AMEN to the thinner summer. Goodbye thunderthighs, lol.

having a rough week and it's only monday. not weight wise, but family wise and school wise. ugh. anyways... really don't have anything to say except i need a cute new pic like jill and momma.

let's make this week rock! i am still dieting but can't get back to smashing quite yet. thank god its april only 17 more days till my i can eat raw veggies again!!!

<3 to you all!!!

Alright, well, tomorrow is Day 1 of Fat Smash for sure! My aunt was in town this weekend, she came down to stay at our house the day I was supposed to start day 1. I told her what I was doing and she said you better wait until tuesday... I'm making home cooked meals. So instead of setting myself up for failure I just decided to start tomorrow! I'm excited to see what it will do for me. Right now I am anticipating going to the dentist tomorrow, I'm so nervous!!!!! Ugh, I can't wait to get it over with! So tomorrow I will right down what I ate, and keep a daily log in this forum of the progress! I think the hardest part will be not weighing myself for 9 days, I'm addicted to the scale! Well, hopefully it will do me some good =) Night everybody!
