Start now or wait? - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

StraitLover · 10-04-2006, 05:06 PM

Hi everybody! (That always reminds me of the Simpsons

). I've been working out 4-5 days a week and watching what I eat (pseudo WW Flex Points - keeping Points in mind but not actually writing it down) since June, and I am just not getting the results I want (started at 215, currently 207, so that's only 8 lbs in 4 months! and the whole Month 4 was only a 1 lb loss), so I am thinking of trying Fat Smash to shake things up.

I got the book and finished it last night. Here's my situation: I will be in Mississippi working w/ rebuilding homes Nov 4-11 (my second trip). If I start FS by this weekend, I would have enough time to get thru Phases 1 and 2. Down in MS, they provide our meals for us, and we basically have no input (I can ask them for a salad if one doesn't come w/ the meal, but that's about it). We pretty much are going from morning to night, so it would be a big struggle (ie pain in the butt!) to try and take my own food w/ me. So, what would you do:

1) Do Ph 1 & 2 and start 3 when I get back home
2) Do Ph 1 & 2 and start over w/ 1 when I get back
3) Just wait until I get back to start and just try to stick better to WW?

Any and all advice welcome! Thanks!

I guess if it were me, knowing what I know now, I would start asap. The reason being one of the first things that came to me naturally was just not being hungary and pushing away food from my plate. But I guess its all about what works for you. You might not like the Fat smash and want to stay on WW(but I doubt it)

I too would start.

I was down in MS at the beginning of the year rebuilding so I know you have to eat what they give you!

But the major part of FSD, as well as with others, is that it's a lifestyle change. Eating real portions, not triple. Getting exercise in. Fruits and veggies too! And water!!! So I think it would be a-ok for you to start now and make good choices there.

Like if they serve pasta one night, ask for a small amount but more veggies...

Hope that helps and good luck!

I would start phases 1 and 2 now. Chances are that once you get that far into Fat Smash... when you have to eat other foods, you will be able to eat less. And just think of the weight you will be able to lose before you go to Mississippi! Then when you come back you could do the detox again. JMHO.

Good luck!
