I just joined but did phase 1 week 1 last week. So happy. Lost 9 lbs since last Monday. Now starting week 2 of phase 1 this week.
Doing some cooking today so I have plenty of good healthy food for the entire week and won't be tempted to be lazy and not do what I need to. I have been reading this board for a week now and all have been so helpful. I may start posting my menus to keep me honest. Didn't do the walking or exercise bicycle as I had planned but will do better the coming week. Thanks for all your help.

lookinforsz12!!

I am on day 2 of phase one here and I have to say...you have done amazing!!! (9 pounds!!! ) that is wonderful!!! I hope to have at least 9 gone in the whole 14 days Keep up the great work and I hope to see you here often

and to the beach!

lookinforsz12, posting every day really helps me!

Christian, I see you're no stranger to 3FC! Join us here, too.

Hi!
Wow!! 9lb in less than a week? Great job! A Christian said, I am crossing my fingers for even 8lb gone by 2 weeks.

Christian. holy moly. LOL My start weight is also 173 lbs. What a fluke!
I have been on P1 since wednesday and I have lost 3lbs. Now AF has arrived and I am typically a fairly slow loser but am working the plan and hoping for the best!! I am only 5'2" so ultimately would like to get down to maybe 125 and re-asses then. I ws 120 in high school and still felt "fat" but may be partially b/c my best friend then was a size 2. LOL I always felt like a moose beside her.

Natalia- That is so funny about your friend being a size 2 and making you feel fat...my friends were tiny too and I thought I was fat in my size 5's lol, we are very close in weight...we will just have to stick together I am 5'5 so I am wanting to hit 149...but then go on to about 135, isnt it funny how we thought we were heavy when we were so tiny, and I was 200 pounds and felt thin on my wedding day Well have a great day ladies, I will be joining the daily thread Monday to get to know the others here

to The Beach, lookinforsz12 and Christian!

welcome, welcome to you both

Welcome to you both! I'm new as well and just started week 2 (this is my second time doing phase one, the first was 2 years ago!)

Good for you for being prepared for the week. I'm kind of flying by the seat of my pants. I had good intentions today... I made phase 1 "pizza" and had planned on having enough left for lunch tomorrow, but DH had other plans for it! So my lunch will probably be a bag of broccoli and cauliflower with a little cheese. (Which is yum but people don't like the smell )

I've found exercise in the first two weeks to be more difficult for me... I can tell I lack the energy from the carbs!

Again, welcome, and look forward to hearing from you!
