I got the book out this morning! This has worked for me in the past (2 years ago) and I know I can do it again. I wish I would have acknowledged the weight gain much sooner but better today than next week.

Good luck on the date!

I actually started this morning. Last night did the typical "last meal" and wish I hadn't - but can't take it back.

Read thru the book to refresh myself and remembered how easy this is to follow (I'm doing extreme, too). Cutting back on the coffee is going to be tough. Will probably switch to half/caf instead. Are you anticipating any challenges??

I just re-started Extreme Fat Smash yesterday and would love to buddy up with you guys. I have about 15 lbs to lose...again. Time for me to get back on track and take the weight off for good.

I think the most challenging thing for me doing EFS is eating brown rice and beans so often. After a couple weeks, I just get sooooooo bored.

Hey Curves! I know what you mean about getting bored. That's what happened to me the last time. I'm trying to "spice" them up a bit. I made a monster batch of pinto beans yesterday and added onion, some garlic, and jalapenos. Not bad at all. I keep telling myself that it is just fuel for my body. Let me know how your day goes...

Tracy: Did you get started this morning? How was the date?

Good luck to everyone on the EFS. I am doing the regular one. But I can pop over here and give you all encouragement too!

So, I know I wasn't s'posed to but I hopped on the scale this morning. I am officially a LOSER!! It is such good motivation. Last night, the chocolate craving was hitting me pretty hard. But I didn't do it and I am glad I didn't. My DH says I am more chipper. And I guess I am. Proud of me...

Ok...so I survived Day 2 of EFS. What a nightmare! I have to admit that I'm a hardcore carb addict. So cutting out so many of the foods I love and just eating to fuel my body is torture.

The only thing that keeps me focused is a constant mantra of "Eat and Exercise for the body I want not for the body I have." On the upside, I know that by Sat or Sun my body will stop craving vast amounts of sugar. And I will once again be able to think straight and stop being so darn
cranky.

Sounds like everyone is starting off strong. No worries Buckeye, I weighed myself this morning too. I just couldn't help myself! I know I shouldn't get caught up in the "numbers" but it does put a little pep in my step. Back2Me, I've been dying to try P90x. Is it as grueling as it looks on tv?

Day 3: DH calls and asks if we will come have lunch with him...I figured I was up to the challenge. Had veg soup (gave him the bread) and a salad. The salad was veg only with a few pieces of chicken breast and FF dressing. I would call that a success! Trying to flush out the sodium from the soup, though. Feeling pretty good but I know I need to exercise more...

Hope everyone had a good day!
Going to get my workout in early because if I don't it won't happen.
Feeling kinda blue today, don't know what's up. Would usually blame it on TOM but still a few weeks away...Maybe the workout will help.

I've completed 4 days of EFS! I'm already feeling better and the sugar cravings have decreased drastically.

I'm absolutely starving right now. So before I do something I'll regret, I'm going to grab a healthy snack and take a few minutes for myself.

Buckeye: I hope you're feeling better today. Sometimes a good workout is all you need to lift your spirits.


Good luck to everyone this weekend. Staying on plan and having a social life is a challenge!

Ugghh. Husband found out yesterday that the parent company is closing his office. I knew something was wrong yesterday morning when I woke up. Just that impending sense of doom. But I didn't use it as an excuse. Stayed OP all day and today so far so good. But I didn't get any exercise in this morning. Hope to later...

Hope all have a good weekend and a Happy Valentines Day
