Hello everyone! I am also smashing I have been losing and I wish everyone the best! Being on the board helps and makes things easier

Good luck cmichele! It's a very do-able diet, so even though you're going out of town, you could possibly find things while you are gone that are on the program.

That's awesome Matilda that you are continuing to lose weight!!! That's definitely motivation for the rest of us!

New here and on Day 2 of phase 1. Still a little confused and a little hungry. Trying to work it all out. Anyone finished p1. How much weight was lost in p1.

Hi Mumma! I have finished Phase 1 and I lost 11 lbs. I think it depends on your body and how much weight you have to lose, though. I know how hard it is in the beginning, but you'll start to get used to it, I hope. This is a great place to get support, though-you've come to the right place!

Thanks, Kara. I am finishing up a round Phase 1 of SBD. I'm really wanting to give up red meat, wine, and my life long love affair with potatoes. SBD has helped tremendously with the wine and even the red meat. I figured the detox phase of FS would help even more. I do have a strong will and a ton of motivation so I know I can at least do the detox phase without many complaints.

I'll check in after my detox.

Thanks Kara it seems like you guys are doing great as well!

My highschool reunion is 11-29 and I would like to lose another 30lbs by then so wish me luck!!!!!!!!

Does anyone have intense pms with this diet. I'm on day three and it's that time of the month today, and I'm in some pain. I'm drinking tons and tons of water. Lots of fruit. The cramps are unlike anything I've ever had before. Any suggestions. I don't want anything to stop me from making this work. So Not going to quit.

I know what you mean about your love affairs, Cmichele. I also LOVE wine, and basically all carbohydrates, which is why I couldn't do this without the allowance of them (brown rice, oatmeal, etc.) They make it bearable.

Good luck with your reunion weight loss Matilda! I know you can do it!!

Momma, I had not had that until last night, which lucky me, was the night before my weigh in. I had intense pain, but I took 2 Advil and it went away in about an hour.

I weighed in this morning and lost 9.6 lbs. in the first 9 days of Phase 2!!! Woohoo!!

Have a good day, ladies!

Hi All! I am new :P Thought I'd introduce myself since...I finally registered after weeks of stalking recipes and reading posts. I have been on FSD one time before and this time seems diff. I am stickin w/ it and doing great..so far lost 19 pounds in 14 days! Only one slip up since I started! Anyways great to be here! I've seen alot of the recipes from the recipe page but if anyone has any others I would love to try them!

Congrats on your awesome weight loss!! I think I said that on another post, but it's worth saying again I know what you mean about this time being different-I have had more willpower this time than with anything else I've ever tried. Let's just hope I can keep that going as long as I need to to lose the weight.

Good luck everybody!!

I am really excited to see the weight coming off...I cant really tell yet..but I can a little bit in my face. It comes off my face first for some reason. My goal is 199 bc I dont want to be super thin and I like a little meat on my bones...the closest I have come to being in the 100's is when i weighed 208..so i will have to do something big for myself when I hit 199! Like go away for a weekend to the spa or something!?

Whoopdedoo: Congrats on the wt loss The spa sounds like a great idea


Mummabear: I'm sorry I can't help with the pms stuff (One advantage of getting old and having gone thru menopause - I think)

CMichele: Good luck and congrats on starting phase I. I lost 6lbs with 1 cheat while others lost 9 to 11lbs. I also only exercised a couple of times while others did a lot more so my advice would be to stick to it faithfully and exercise before you travel for the 4th that way you have a really good jump on the weight loss. But remember you can always get right back on track when you return
