Hi everyone! How is everyone doing on this diet? I am so excited, and a little scared, to start the Fat Smash Diet. This is my first day and I know it is going to be tough. I have tried starting this diet a couple of times before but fell off in the middle of the day because I wasn't prepared. This time, though, I'm sticking to it. I have all my food prepared and portioned into bags. As a mom of 3 kids, ages 11, 4, & 10 months plus a full time college student, I need convience.

I'm curious, is everyone having great success on this diet? I'm hoping to drop, at least, 20 lbs by Christmas. I don't want to look like Porky Pig in our Christmas pictures this year.

Anyhow, I'm really excited to have found this forum and other people I can talk to about this diet and lossing weight. I hope to make some new friends here also. Have a great day and I look forward to meeting you.

Hi shannon

I actually just finished phase I , today i weighed myself and i have lost 7 lbs
wow do you have your hands full

good luck ... have a great weekend

Hey Shannon,

I just cheated and weighed myself, I am on day 7 of phase I and I lost 10 pounds so far, but it is also that TOM so l'm Sure I lost a little more.. YEY!.. Welcome It is great to have you with us.

Oh my gosh 10 lbs by day 7! Thats fantastic. If I could lose that much in Phase I, I'll be half way to my Christmas goal. Thanks for the support. Keep up your great work.

Trust me you can do it.. the hardest part is getting started.. Phase I isnt so tough, you just have to really want it.. and believe me, I WANTED IT.. lol.. I am very excited.. Only 40 pounds left.. =)

Welcome Shannon! Sounds like you are off to a fantastic start. I have to have everything in the house and if I don't, I stop and pick it up on the way home. I know if I get home and tempting foods are the only things around, I will eat them. I am loving snacking on soy nuts (I just discovered them last week) and also I found soy crisps which are like chips made w/ all soy, baked & not fried. I only limit myself to 8 of them at any one sitting (or I might eat the whole bag) but they satisfy my urge to have potato chips. Keep preparing things ahead. At night I cut up and boil my apple (to add to my oatmeal in the morning) or I squeeze my fresh oj & slice up my fruit for a smoothie. I also try to go ahead and prepare my food for work the next day. I find anything that saves me 5 minutes in the morning is a big help. Best of luck to you! Lem
