So after doing my own little diet thing and losing 20lbs getting happy and gaining back 10 of it I decided to try something different.

I saw Dr. Ian on Tyra's show where she had the "DIET WARS". His whole everything (demeanor,philosophy etc) really appealed to me so I went out 2 days ago and bought the book. After reading it and gathering all types of recipes I am ready to start this "lifestyle change".

I'm really amped about this and can't wait to start Monday. Also I'm looking for any buddies who want to take the journey with me.

Me too - I am starting tomorrow..Dr Ian is great

My boyfriend and I are also starting FS on Monday July 16th. I would love to have a buddy online to help me get through the tough times. I will be excited to see how the journey goes! Good Luck!!!!

I'm starting the 16th as well. This website is great. I need all the support I can get and give.

Wow, Liz and R, cudos to you both on double digit weight loss!
Definitely, would like an online support buddy to take the journey to weight loss success and finally be fit, healthy and wear sexy clothes.

Add me on the smashing train!!! I am starting on Monday also!! Good luck to you all!

good luck to everyone...im up for the support as well...its tough as it is...every little bit helps

I just bought my book yesterday. Yeah!! I also cleaned out my cabinets and ice box last night. I am going to be buying groceries today.

I am sooo excited!!!

Hey everyone I just went shopping and got all my "supplies". As much as I love fruits and veggies I don't think I have ever had this many in my fridge at the same time.

This is my last day before I start the smashing. Good luck to everyone starting on Monday and to the others who have already started their journey.

OK, I'm baaaaack. Don't know why I fell away, but I felt so good on FS Phase I...tomorrow works for me. I am picking fresh, homegrown raspberries; I could live on them..Glad to be part of the pack.

I'm also starting tomorrow! Good luck all!

Monday is finally here!! Good Luck Girls!

Should we post on here how we're doing/ what we've eaten?

I think it would help me to see what others are eating. Are you all doing FS or EFS?

This has been my morning so far:
2 TBSP sunflower seeds (unsalted and roasted)
30 min workout
1/2 cup egg beaters
1 orange
LOTS of water

I would love to join this group too, This program looks VERY doable to me, I've tried being vegetarian along with my daughter, back in April. I was able to go until we went on vacation, then messed up. So detox is only 9days, no problem!!!

Hey everyone...so this is the first morning of the journey to the new me!

I like the idea of posting our menu's too!. I guess we could either post them in this thread or in the "daily/weekly check in" thread.

So far this morning I had oatmeal with blueberries
1 cup of mint tea (no sweetner)
I'm about to eat a fruit salad (mango,kiwi,blueberries,lime and pink grapefruit) I prepared last night and I'm not sure what I want for lunch.
Also I'm drinking lots of ice cold water.

I'm also going to be posting pics of the foods I eat (for the visually inclined) in my 3FC diet blog if anyone wants to check that out too!

Have a fat smashing day everyone!
