HI all. Haven't posted in a while but I'm making progress! The goal I set out for April 1st looks like it will actually happen by April 31st but loss is still loss even when it slows down a bit!

My next mini-goal is just 4 pounds away!

sThebs, I was wonderin where you were. Glad to see you're still loosing. I decided to just weigh in on Friday's that way I wouldn't keep stressing about it. As of last week I was down 26, (since Feb 20th) after my eating today, who knows where I'll end up, so I am going to double up on the workouts tonight.
talk to you smashers later.

Welcome back s2theb!

So far, I haven't been so bad (other than the veggie fajita I had at Chili's). Tomorrow, I'm really going to push myself harder.

Hi Everyone!!

Congrats Tinky!!! You should be very proud!!

Welcome back s2theb, keep smashing!

After having my sister visiting from the East Coast for a week, I'm happy to report that I only gained back 2lbs. I was VERY surprised when I got on the scale. All of the stuff that I ate that I normally don't, I figured for sure that I gained a good 5-7lbs back. Hey, I'll take it and run!
It's back on track for me this week! Back to FS and the gym tomorrow. I hope to lose the 2lbs and then the next 5 to reach my goal.
Have a great week everyone!

Hey Everyone!! Well I've eaten off plan a bit, but that's ok. I'm starting Phase 2. I've been exercising everyday though. Trying to get atleast a mile and a half on the Ellipitical,but I went ahead and did 2 miles after dinner. After all, I'm not allowing myself to gain back any weight! LOL!

S2theB- SO good to see you back!!!! I'm glad you're still losing!!! Keep us posted on your progress!!


VeggieLady- I know what you mean!!I'm pushing and pushing!!

LoveMacon- I'd love to be at the weight that you are now...I haven't seen that number for awhile!! LOL

Shell- Thanks for the congrats!!! Also not too shabby for you, to have ony gained 2 lbs back! Good Luck to you!!!

Well Let's keep smashing!

Tinky,
I think it counts, ESPECIALLY if it involved taking kids to the zoo!!
Well, I have to weigh in on Friday but I cheated and peaked at the scale this morning and I lost the 2 I gained back plus 1lb. Woo hoo!!
I've been back to the gym and going to spinning classes. My husband is coming back from France on Friday so I really hope to get back on a more strict schedule next week with some normallcy in my life again!!
Keep smashing everyone!!

Shell829, congrats on the weight loss. I lost 2 pounds in 3 days. I'm thrilled about that. I know I'm not supposed to weigh myself until after phase 1, but I'm extending phase 1 to 2 weeks, and I'm doing the TBL challenge on this forum, so I have to weigh myself every week.

LOL...thanks Shell!! Well I didn't really take a kid, but my bro is like a big 20 year old kid!! Its funny to see someone like that act all crazy about brown bears!
Well I gotta do the Elliptical tonight before bed....I was bad and had Taco Bell!! I couldn't resist, bu I only had one burrito, but was very good all day!!!


Congrats to you and Veggielady's weight loss!!! I'm lookin forward to Monday!!

Can I join? Day 1 of EFS. Never in a million years did I think I would eat green beans and chick peas and call that a meal. And how do you manage the HUGE amount of cardio? For somebody as out of shape as I am, unable to do much of anything just yet, this seems really hard to do and hard to find time to do.

Did you all start out a little slow on that?

Hi, I'm officially doing Fat Smash Extreme. I hope you don't mind me on your thread. I'm only on Week 1, Day 1, so I feel fine! No weight loss to report!

I love eating small meals, so this plan is perfect for me. I think I need to give my body a "spring reset", so if I could drop 10-15lbs by Memorial Day, that would be great. Then I'll start training in earnest (with more protein and carbs) for my summer/fall road races. I'm running a 7.2 mile race in August and a 1/2 Marathon in October. It will be easier to train once I've dropped this extra weight.

How about a really brisk walk to start?

Welcome ChimpChump!! Don't get discouraged and mama is right, start off with a brisk walk. Don't jump into a hardcore cardio routine off the bat or you'll say "forget this"!! Even starting off with some yoga or light pilates is a great way to start it off and stretch out your muscles.

Tinky - I understand about the whole big kid thing. I always say I have three children (husband included) and my oldest is 32!! It's kind of good though because he keeps me moving and feeling young!!

Veggielady - Congrats!! Isn't it great to hop on the scale expecting it not to move and it goes down?? What's better than that!!??

I have to say, I LOVE THIS SITE!!! I wouldn't be anywhere NEAR my goal if it wasn't for the support here. You guys are great!!

Today is my second day on FAT SMASHERS and i must admit that I am hungry!! I thought i ate a lot yesterday but the calories were 777- is it normal to be that low? I'm higher today but I am just making sure. And are we allowed to have brown rice cakes?
