Week 4 completed for me, and 2.8 lbs down. Thank goodness some scale movement! Had so hoped for more, but it's still 13 lbs that aren't on my *kitten* any more! Planning to do Shred week 3 until we go away, and then I'm not sure what my strategy will be. I usually just drink my calories, but that always backfires with…

Happy birthday! I think it's okay to have some fun on special occasions, and it sounds you even strategized a bit to keep yourself within reasonable limits. I'm headed out tonight myself to a concert and am thinking of having an "outside" salad for supper and a glass of wine. I've heard about your FL freeze! I just hope to…

Thanks ladies. I appreciate the encouragement. I have done measurements, and there's been some change - mostly in the boobs, lol - and I certainly feel better AND feel I look better. DH is now down nearly 20 pounds, which totally pisses me off, because who do you think's been doing all the planning and cooking and nagging!…

Fantastic! I'm jealous :-)

The size-smaller bathing suit is ballsy! Way to go! And you're right, we should brainstorm our snacks a bit, as I tend to go to the same things a lot, and need to keep it interesting.

LOL. Apparently, MFP doesn't like the female-dog synonym. Who knew? :-)

I'm at W3D4, and I confess I've been hungry this week too, though it's odd, my calorie consumption isn't *that* much less than the other weeks. My DH is really *****ing about this week too. I'm upped the consumption of tea and water a lot, and i've probably had more sugar-free gum than is good for me to keep those cravings…

Hi and welcome. I'm at W3D2, and the last couple of days of W2 were the first time I really felt hunger to the point of discomfort. Since it was later at night, I had a cup of herbal tea and toughed it out til bed. I don't struggle too much between the meals & snacks, but the FB-ers say that the recommended green tea and…

Hi Eilea73 and welcome. I haven't faced that particular dining out demon yet so don't have any wisdom to offer, I'm afraid, though I do have an at-home dinner guest tonight that I'm struggling a bit with. I'll let you know how we make out. There's a FB group "Super Shredders' that you can join and there's a LOT of chatter…

I get the disappointment with the numbers, but that 1 1/2 inches is phenomenal. My inches don't budge very often - I guess I have more free-floating flab - so I think you've definitely had a WIN. Especially given your fat flush last week and TOM. C'mon Jo - you rocked it and you know it! Good luck with W2.

Congrats Sillygirl - that's wonderful progress for week 2. I'm finishing up W2D6 today; Monday WI. I'm hopeful of a good loss because I've been pretty rigorous following the plan, but for some reason I feel really "full" tonight. My husband's been struggling with hunger these past 2 days - today was really bad - so I fed…

This makes sense. There are some very real gaps in the book on a number of topics, such as how the beverage options affect the overall calorie intake; can you have your coffee any time in the day, or just in association with meals; what about herbal tea; can your veg serving be another salad; are there veg that are…

Cool find. Thanks.

Hi Oh2Be, and welcome! I'm so excited to see new posts in the group. I'm on W2D1, after a successful W1. I understand your concern about your husband, and think Jobell's advice is on the money. Bulk up his intake with green veg (low-carb) and lean protein. My DH is smaller than yours but he's bummed that he doesn't get…

Hi ladies - I've stayed away from the scale but DH hasn't and he's KILLING it - damn those men! My weigh-in will be Monday, and I'm really hopeful of seeing a whoosh. I'm feeling good and really not too deprived and we've been faithful with the exercise. @Jo, I have been logging, though I've kept my diary private, and the…

Hi - my husband and I started SuperShred on Monday... today is our week 1 "superShredder" day and he's struggling a bit with the calorie/food restriction. I'm clinging to the mantra that anyone can do anything for 24 hours! Looking forward to seeing some activity in this group, too.
