MissVee!
I hope its ok to join in on the daily thread..
Im Michele and am starting the FS diet tom... I cant wait to get on the scale in 9 days!(thats my motivation for staying focused

Hi All,
I hope it's ok to jump right in. I'm a newbie and on day 9 of phase 1. I'm nervous about the weigh-in tomorrow, but hoping for the best!

There is a thread that was created by curvy girl title weekly and daily check-in thread. This is the thread where everyone posts. And where everyone will welcome you with open arms. You will find it very informative and supportive. See ya there and good luck I know you can do it.

Hello MissVee...how did your weekend go? Mine was fine, i was very tired all weekend so i only exercised on saturday...15mins of steps (while carrying furniture...and there was lk 25 steps) and then 30 mins of swimming (didnt know 4 kids could keep a girl so active lol) yesterday was bad...i slept in til 12 and then basically only ate the essential meals all day...then i spent most of the day doing my final exam for my online math course up until 12am...so didnt get to workout like i wanted! will get on track this week...want to see at least 6lbs gone by the weekend...i hope! i still maintaining at 190 though...so im happy with that!

down 3 pds only after phase 1-- i think i will just modify my diet until i receive my book to make sure i did the phase correctly-- i ate what i wanted yesterday out of pity for myself but feel better today and realize that is how i gained all this weight by eating out of emotion-- it wasn't even that good! Anyhow, i'm down and i'm eating healthier and that is the bottom line--

Good morning grls! Today was my weigh in for week one of phase 2...I'm happy to say that i'm down to 189.1. That's a 5.8 lbs difference in 2 weeks and 2 days. All though it's not as high of numbers as i would like to see, im happy to say i am at least not gaining weight. I'm going to amp up the workouts and see if i cant lose another 3-5lbs in the next week!

Congrats on the Loss!
My way of looking at it is any loss is a good loss and holding your own works too! All we can do is to keep doing our very best.
Enjoy the success.

I am on day 4 of cycle 1 and have noticed a difference in the fit of my jeans already! I am planning on repeating all the rotations until I hit my goal. It was exremely difficult the first two days but it seems to be getting easier.

Hello ladies congrats to everyone! GoalDown I weighed this morning and I did not lose a pound and I did not gain any pounds. I just looked at the scale in awe but its going to be ok. I went to a social gathering last night and I received so many compliments. That made me feel really good! I tried to act as if I could not tell that I lost weight deep down inside I was filled with joy. I'm going to up my workouts so maybe next week will be different. If not I am going back to phase 1. Anywoo you all have a wonderful night.

Well girls...weighed myself this morning just because the scale was there when i was taking a shower, and well....im down another 3.4 pounds!!! I'm so excited! I never thought that I could lose this much weigh this quickly.

On a side note, why is family so discouraging against losing weight? My older sister is like jealous that i am losing weight. everytime i tell her that i am down so and so pounds she's like "oh well im still eating what im eating and im down 3 lbs" yet everyone else in my family is excited and can tell im losing weight. i think she's jealous...she always have been!! DAMN older sisters!

For me I think the most discouraging people are at work. Since I have started this particular diet I have been getting a lot of flac. This is mostly due to the fact that I opt out to partake in festivites. I have remained discipline and the foods that they eat are just not for me right now (no healthy foods) just junk. Goaldown my sister has decided to jump aboard. Maybe your sister will change her mind to who knows! Its very hard for my sister to compliment me also but it doesn't matter. She is the oldest also and she has never had a weight problem until now (go figure). This is really the only diet that I have truly stuck with and I actually like it! My sister could not believe the results now she is gong ho about doing it and my bestfriend to! Have a good night!

Good morning everyone! I went to the gym this morning. Once I got home I took my shower and could not resist stepping on that scale. I was sacred to see what it would say considering the fact that when I weighed in Wednesday 8/1 I did not lose a pound. Well I was jumping for joy I am now down 4lbs! I got on and off that scale at least 5 times just to make sure my mind wasn't playing tricks on me. I hope everyone is doing well and don't get sidetracked from the weekend temptations. Have a wonderful day.

Go Ladies!!
I'm glad everyone here shares their successes - it is truly inspiring! Like MissVee, work is more difficult than home. I work for a company that makes organic coffee,tea, chocolate (ugh! really good high end chocolate!) and snacks. Everyone is always offering food. Yesterday it was pizza, donut holes, chocolate bars, and pecans! I held my ground, but it was really hard! Just hearing that other people have held strong makes me feel stronger.

Thanks!

Hey all,

It's been a while since I have checked in. I am a week and 2 days into my modified phase 1 and I weighed in this morning and found out I lost another 4 lbs..Oh yea go me. I'm sooo happy. I love this.

Congrats to Dreamdancer
