Hi There-

I just started 11/26/07 and am just about lentil and beaned out - so it was great to come across this site and to find so many great recipes! I like phase one and do not plan to add meat to my diet anytime soon. Has anyone been in phase 1 longer than the 9 days? If so, how successful have you been?

Hi, I just wanted to welcome you to 3FC ~ it is a GREAT place to come and sit and read so many encouraging posts and get to know people who are on the same journey as you. I am not on any phases or anything so I can't help you there, but I did want to welcome you here.
I know there are tons of great food ideas here ~ I have copied and pasted so many and plan on using them often.
Good luck to you and enjoy your stay here with us all!!

Take care,
God Bless,
Tari

WELCOME! What are you doing that has phases to it? I am doing the South Beach way of life and it has phases. Good luck!

4 skinny jenny! WELCOME I'm new too! I think it sounds like you are on the fat smash diet ! I tried it and thinking about starting again I just posted on their forum! It's under fat smashers I think .You can stay on phase 1 longer if you want to .I'm not sure how much I lost but I liked it. I didn't miss the meat .I like fruit & veg. I probably will start this Mon ! after the 9 days or so I didn't go to phase2 I just ate meat or fish when I went out to eat with my husband & then started back on phase 1 I sort of took the weekend off and then go back to phase1 . I hope this helps you ! my problem is portion control & exercising & 52 menepausal!!but I know it's not an excuse . I know I can do it!! I just have to work at it harder !! Hope to here from you soon JJ

I am fat smashing it and have used a lot of great recipes from this site. I have noticed some changes in my body so I suppose I am doing well. My struggle is the sugar is starches - but I am working it out!
