Hi everyone sorry I haven't posted in awhile. things have been so hectic at home!! We just took in a 6 month old baby!! I am going a bit nuts to say the least!!

anyways I don't even knwo what phase I am in!! Probably still 2 but I lost track!! Either way I was down 3 last week and am down another 2 already this week! I have already made my April 19th goal!!

Today was Day 1 on Fat Smash...
Meal 1 - 4 egg whites
Meal 2 - Boca Burger
Snack - 6 oz. fat free yogurt
Meal 3- Boca Burger ( I love those things... 100% Vegie)
Exercise - The Mall....need I say more =)

Not too bad for the first day, ready for Day 2!


Oh yeah and my weigh-in was 178.7 lbs..... it is going to be hard to stay off the scale till after the Detox phase.... but I'll do it, one day at a time!

MANDYGIRL... How are you liking CFC online? I love watching that show =)

LISA... your salads sound delicious

ANNIE... We can do it!

HOTMAMA... I know what you mean.. sometimes when Im watching beautiful fit women on tv it pumps me up, like that's what I want and I can do it! Too bad they dont have those shows onmore often Beyonce is so gorgeous but still has curves, I like that! Good job on your weight loss!!

MARCYD... Glad to have you!

CHUBBY... That must be hard with no veggies. And even though our weight is a little different we are all in this together!

ASHISBACK... Your first day sounds great Do you eat the boca alone though? Because that's not very much food. I love grilling some red onions with Pam cooking spray and putting them on top of my boca with a lil barbecue sauce.. really yummy.

2BEAUTIFUL... Glad to see you back We understand it's hard to get on everyday sometimes :P So did you adopt the baby or will you just have her/him for a lil while? Well no mattr what, good for you! That's a lot to take on. BTW your weight loss is going GREAT!! And the marshmallow walden farms stuff is yucko... some of their sauces taste okay when you did your finger in but not when you actually dip in food, plus they have a really gross after taste. Big waste of my money! For sure!


And everyone else keep up the good work fat smashing or whatever type of healthy eating you are trying

I've done okay since I got back from my mini vacation for the weekend. No overeating. I havn't been full blown fat smash since though, and I decided I'm going to just do healthy eating for the next week or 2. I weighed this morning and I was 163.5 not the 160 I was hoping for but still great since I have not been 100% great with my eating, I'm glad I keep trying hard though. Ok ladies I miss you all & love reading your comments

Hi Ladies -

Today is my first day on Phase II. I was so grateful to be able to eat a piece of baked chicken - YUMMY. It was a great lunch with some fruit. My weigh in today shows I've lost 6 pounds during Phase I. I am very happy with that.

I am a Jazzerciser, so went to eat after class with my instructor. We have both been Weight Watchers, but I get so tired of that. Plus there are all kinds of ways to eat within your point range, without choosing really healthy foods.

I was so happy to find this forum, especially the recipes. Too bad I didn't find those at first. I tried the sweet potatoe fries yesterday - they were wonderful! I bought another sweet potato. I can see those fries sitting on my Thanksgiving dinner table!!

My biggest challenge is the next 12 days. I am going to two conferences out of town. Between conferences I am visiting a family member who may or may not eat healthy food. I doubt I will stay perfect on Phase 2, as so much is out of my control. But if I just keep out of the sweets and chips, etc - and eat as healthy as I can - I will be happy.

Jill - thanks for the welcome.

Hotmama - I am near the sports complexes, what part of KC are you in?

Everybody have a great day!

hey everybody!
my weigh in was monday and i was down 1.4! now i've managed to gain that back since then but i'm moving my scale b/c i weigh in on mondays not on wednesdays!

love the posts and the new pics of people.

jill - you are so good at addressing everyone individually. i read them and then would get everybody all messed up so maybe i'll just respond and peeps will know who i'm talking to!

marcy - i LOVE sweet potato fries and would never put one of those things in my mouth all growing up. i put vinegar on them..yummy!

okay - have to go do laundry...more fun later.

WE can all do this - we are strong and just think of how good we will look this summer!!

b: cheerios and skim
s: banana
l: salad w/ gonzo beans, feta, egg whites, black beans, celery (jill: i take bagged lettuce to work and then get all the goodies at the salad bar downstairs that's the only reason they are good - it's not like i prepare all of this the night before!) cheese cubes
s: oatmeal
d: sweet potato fries, cauliflower, salad

way too much to eat today but tomorrow homer and i will do better (he's cute!)

yeah that is how i feel... busiest month is here. April. Evil evil April Full of finals, papers, interviews (to get my assistantship and internship), group projects and STRESS!!!!!! It is truly insane. I hate it.

Starting on May 12 I will be doing my internship in the big city of Indianapolis. Wahooo! But that is going to be lots of stress. Oh December where are you? I really need my degree and for this to end!!! Studying has become my life! But today though I wanted to write a paper, I took for me. I paid our rent and ran some other errands and watched some shows, had lunch with my best friend, those kind of things. I needed it. Because tomorrow... that is where it begins to be hectic. I have to do a killer homework assignment, a paper and a huge project ALL by Friday of next week (some are do earlier begining with Monday!) Say a prayer for me that I do not go insane. Haha!

I am so blessed to have met you all. I think of you guys and all the things we are going through often. I know this is doable. All of us will someday be even more beautiful! I am looking forward to it.

I am going to Vegas in August. I really really want to be in the high 150s by then. I KNOW it I can do it. I didn't weigh myself this week. I am trying to do it every 2 weeks, so I don't obsess about the scale. Once I am back on veggies, IT'S ON!

Anyways, I am totally rambling. BUT I hope all of you had a rockin' day. Thanks for reading my blah blah blah.

Talk to you all soon!

MARCYD... Alright Phase 2!! Good job 6 lbs is GREAT! I also did WW before FS and always ended up binging since I cold eat whatever I want as long as I was within my points.. but eating really yummy food makes me binge and too much in control! for the next 2 weeks!

LISA.... I use a notepad so as I read each persons post I can comment to them Makes it easier for me I was wondering how you got all the stuff for your YUMMY salad! Good idea It looks like we are the same weight right now Well I weighed yesterday it said 163.5 so I put 164 for now, and I'm 5'7. I want to be 140... I was 135 before and everyone said I looked way too skinny. Bummer even when I'm too skinny I still have yucky skin.

WIFEY.. I love, love, love your new picture! Sorry life is so overwhelming. I believe in you! You can be in the 150's by August!! Just keep up your great work and your eye on the prize

ASH... Your doing great with your food choices. Day 3

Hope EVERYONE else is doing wonderful as well I just found a site called www.skinnymyths.com I thought it was very informational and cool to read through when you have some extra time. Yall might already know about it, but if not, check it out! Anyways yesterday went great. Again I decided I would do 'healthy eating' for a couple weeks and not concentrate so hard on FS.

The pw is "lookincute" heehee!!

Hi ladies,

Just wanted to check in since it had been several days. I really wish that I had better news but I'm just going to be brave and tell you that I had wonderful intentions of starting the FS Phase 1 this week, starting Monday, and although Breakfast through mid-day snack on Monday and Tuesday were great, I ended up blowing it in the evening and unfortunately that led to a not so great rest of the week.

I love the Celebrity Fit Club website, it has tons of great information and tools I just need to find some way to conjure up the kind of will power that all those "big losers" from the show and website have.

Although I know that there is no magic pill or answer, any suggestions or ideas on ways to simplify Phase 1 as much as possible and give it a go again next week.

I MUST get this weight off this time....once and for all and stop the vicious yo-yo dieting that I've done all my life.

Sorry to be the downer post this week....just needed to be honest on my check in with you guys.

Congrats to the group, overall, for doing well and headed in the right direction with your weight loss no matter how large or small.....down.

Have a wonderful weekend guys....although I'm off to a rough start you all help to keep me inspired and give me hope.

Starting weight: 213
Goal weight: 140

Hi Ladies -

I lived through one conference. It was just a 24 hours away from home. Luckily they had yogurt and fruit for breakfast. I stayed away from the muffins, sweet rolls, etc. They served us lunch - I had no choices. I ate a green salad with no dressing, 1/2 piece of lasagna. I stayed away from the hot garlic bread, the chocolate at our tables and cookies served for break.

I did sniff some of it though! LOL!!!

Jill - Thanks for the Will Power Dust. So far, so good!

2 Beautiful - You are very brave to take in TWO babies. I am assuming you must foster. How wonderful!

HotMama - I grew up in your neighborhood. I know it well! I grew up off
80th street between Troost and Paseo. I used to work at Baptist Hospital just down the street when it was still open.

Mandy - take it one day at a time!

I'm off for vacation and conference number two tomorrow afternoon.

Everybody have a great week!

Hello ladies So today my mother, aunt, brother and sister all went on a nature hike and we thought it was a few miles but it was 7!
2 miles up hill! Gooooodness... it's done I'm exhausted!
