Hi Ruthxxx, I'll join you :) I started P1 today and will do it for one week and then move to P2. I need to get this weight moving down again. I wish everyone much success.

Ok, here's my menu:

Yesterday:
B: Eggbeaters with spinach and artichokes, topped with ff sourcream and salsa
L: Salsa Baked Chicken, broccoli, and 1/2 a summer squash
S: 1 C yogurt w/ sf raspberry jello, and 1 T sf strawberry preserves; jicama slices w/ pb
D: nothing, wasn't hungry
S: cheese stick, sf fudgecicle

Today
B: mock french toast w/ flax seeds
L: Salsa baked chicken, broccoli, summer squash
D: Italian sausage soup.
S: not sure yet

How'd everyone do yesterday and what's planned for today?

I had a strange Phase I breakfast - Laughing Cow on a red pepper and a glass of skim milk. Of course (being a Scale Ho) I just had to hop on the scale this morning - no loss! Now I'd be giving you chicks heck if you were whining about no loss after one day. :lol:

I'll post today's menu in the menu thread and try to remember to mark it Phase I.

I really was tempted to have a before dinner drink last night :nono: and did all sorts of rationalization like "One won't hurt" and "Scotch has no carbs" but overcame it by cleaning my stove!

Here's to a wonderful Phase I day. :)

Hi all,
I'll join you on Ph1. Won't update my ticker right now but I will remove it - too scared to see the truth on the scale. I think I need to stay off the scale until the 14 days of Ph1 pass and then I'll put the ticker back. The games we play, the games we play!

The menu thread is a great idea. Looking forward to seeing what you all are eating.

Okay chickies!

Today is phase 1 for 'ole Kelster! I didn't start off so great as I was rushing out the door this a.m. and didn't get breakfast. I DID pack all my snacks and my lunch AND remembered to bring it with me LOL!

Tonight is l/f cheesy chicken (crockpot) with green beans and a salad.

P.S. Great job on resisting the beverage last night Ruth! I justified my 2 (count em 2!) glasses of wine by saying I wouldn't get any for at least 2 more weeks. *sigh* I will jump on the scale on Friday and not until then.

Captain Kirk to Beach babies: SET your PHASEr to "ONE"...............Welcome Newbies and Do-Overs! Alrighty then: I'm joining in !

Hi Ladies
Mind if I do Phase 1.5? I haven't cooked yet and I'm trying to have a weezle inspired celebration. DH and I started this AM
:)

Today is Day 1 of Phase 1. My sister in law has been on the diet for about a month and has lost 20 pounds so far, so I thought I would give it a try. I had eggs with pico de gallo this morning and now I am munching on nuts. What are some tips to keep me motivated?

Hey y'all!

I started yesterday. I had a withdrawal headache this morning. Eeeck! I'm feeling better this afternoon after some Tylenol.

I am 3/4 through my water goal of 64 ounces. Yay!

I have eaten well this morning. I would say that I am still lacking in vegetables. This is a major weak spot for me. I have decided to make some vegetable soup to use as one of my snacks. I hope that helps in that area! Dinner is in the crockpot and the rest of the week is planned! I can't wait to see how the scale adjusts to the new committment!

Welcome Shellebelle!

Your sis lost 20lbs in 1 month? Wow! Obviously she was totally dedicated and didn't cheat. Good for her.

The best thing you can do is to post here and let us support you through your journey.

Ruth started a menu thread where we can post our menu's daily and that really is a huge help to me. Not only can they double check mine, but I get suggestions on other meals to try.

Good luck!

AW man!! I did sop well and then I had the cleaners here and 5 hungry kids so iw ent up to the diner. I had a cajun chicken wrap on WW. sigh. I always seem to do 1 carb a day.
I will try again tomorrow I suppose.
I am obviously a phase 2 kinda girl.

Hey all!
I thought I was the only one who went a little haywire recently, but I'm not and I'm glad to be back! The Darling Boyfriend left today, so I treated myself to a frozen yogurt (after a romantic weekend of FOOD--why do romance and food always go hand in hand?! :dizzy: ) , and now I am back back back!!

I do need to go to the supermarket though...thinking of using Peapod.com because the market near my college is too far to walk with a good amount of food.

Well, it's TOM, but I don't care...i'm back ladies! let's go swimming!!! :D ;)

Yesterday was my first day of phase 1 and it went well actually :D I ate way too much.. but it was all good. make a yummo korma curry, loaded with vegies for dinner and had some homemade hommus and cucumber sticks to keep me going.

Oh yeah.. I am a scale junkie as well... but I am down 1 kilo since last Saturday morning which is 2.2 pounds which I am very happy about. :cb:We have been riding our new bikes so much and having a great time.. I think all of the exercise is definitely a help :bike: But we are scheduled for some extremely hot weather over the next few days.. 37 degrees, so that will put a dent in the exercise tally.

Sending you all motivated vibes....

Hello all,

Today was day 2 of P1 for me and I did pretty good. I managed to get in all my veggies which is a weak area for me. I hope everyone has a great week!

Well today is day 2 on p1 and yesterday (with a little help from Ruth LOL!) I managed to stay op.

Need to work on more water and less s/f koolaid today. I'll post today's menu on the menu thread.

Have a great day!
