wow you have lost the most so far, awesome!

For phase 1 I took my daughter and a friend and her three daughters and we went for what ended up being a five mile walk! So I didn't do anything for day 2, but got to bed early!

Too bad we all live so far way from each other, we could each buy a box and share! I will find this on Facebook and like!:drinker:

Good to know about getting questions answered on Facebook! I have the app but not really using it as much right now because I was confused too! Also it would be nice if she had the recipes in the app.

Hi Phyllis, I'm glad you joined the group. I look forward to any recipes that you come up with. I also have a husband that needs to lose weight, but he's not interested right now. He just recently dropped 25 pounds when he stopped drinking Mountain Dew! It just fell off of him, but he still has more he can lose to be…

Welcome Pcarneal. I don't anything about your disease, but you might want to send a question via the website,http://www.fastmetabolismdiet.com about the vitamin you take. Good luck and I hope this is the answer you have been waiting for. I hope the same for myself!

Welcome Christina! You and I lost the same amount of weight! Was the italian crockpot chicken in the book? I need to go back and really go through all of the recipes. It is my day off today and I"m trying to get busy in the kitchen for phase 2! We are happy to have you and good luck!

Welcome Irlene. I also bought the E book and the app for my iPhone and started on Monday. The amount of food we are eating is crazy. I know that we don't need to count calories, but I decided to count them on Monday out of curiosity and I had eaten 2, 550!!!! Really???? But I still lost 1.4 pounds the next day! I decided…

That is right. Make sure you are getting in all your water too. Also what did you guys do for your cardio?

You have the portions correct. I chose oatmeal too, but I did the smoothie with fruit and water and stevia. It's a little easier for me to sip on that for a while then try to eat 2 cooked bowls!

Welcome Girls! You are understanding the portions correctly. Basically you need to double everything! I've been using the recipes in the book to help me figure this all out and just double it! It's a lot of food, but it's all good for us, so enjoy! Also you can find answers to questions on her website,…

Welcome to the group! Congrats on your son and your weight loss! I went cold turkey on the coffee yesterday. I was fine until late in the day when I started to get a headach and then I woke up with the headach, but it's gone now! it only took me 2 days to read the book and really, I could have done it in one, but I had too…

Im only on day two, phase 1 and I'm eating the same breakfast, lunch and dinner for these 2 days so I don't waste food. I think you are doing great for week 1 and everyone is different, so don't get discouraged, just keep doing what you are doing. Thank you for joining the group and sharing too. I think we are all going to…

I really don't want to weigh myself every day, but I just felt lighter when I woke up and I had to see!:tongue:

You are correct on the portions and I'm doing the same, doubling all the portions. All though I couldnt get through 3 cups of Turkey Chili last night, I only had 1. I remember seeing something about the pretzels too, but I don't remember if she mentions a brand. I've gotten some information from facebook, and twitter and…

I beleived it too, but I was always afraid to continue to raise my calories! I'm almost upset that I haven't done this sooner!

I also started April 15th! I woke up this morning and I was down 1.4 pounds! I went to the bathroom all day yesterday, so I knew I had to be down a little. Now let's see if I can break the 180 mark. I've been gaining and losing the same 7 pounds for the past year! So I will be bery excited to see the 170's again!

Yesterday I had an apple at 4:30 am, then for breakfast I had the oatmeal smoothie with Mango (2 servings). My snacks were 2 cups of cantelope. Lunch was open faced Turkey Sandwich on Sprout bread with mustard and lettuce and 4 slices of tomato with sea salt and pepper (2 servings). Dinner - Turkey Chili. I was supposed to…

Welcome to the group Michellyn!!!! I to tried the HCG diet and lost about 10 pounds before a wedding I attended last year in Vegas. As soon as I came back from the wedding I gained all 10 pounds and more! I'm excited that this plan is all about whole foods. So far the only recipes that I have are in the book. I tried the…

Michellyn, thank you for all of those yummie phase specific recipes!!!!!!!!! I'll be trying them over the next 3 weeks!

I started today too! I wanted to start a group but I need at least 3 people. Can I count you in?:drinker:

I bought the book after seeing the segment on Good Morning America and I'm alsmost done with the book. The author explains how your metabolism and hormones work and how you can destroy your metabolism over time with all the different types of diets you may have tried over your lifetime. The theory behind her food plan is…

I understand how you feel. At least you have dropped 50 pounds! Congrats to that:drinker: I found that I can do the food or the exercise but not both! So right now I'm trying Jillian Michaels DVD called the 30 day Shred. This video is only a 25 minute work out including warm up and cool down! But she kicks your butt and…

Originally from San Francisco, CA, living in Sellersburg, IN and working in Louisville! Looking for work out buddies that go to Planet Fitness in Clarksville, IN!:wink:

I love Goodwill! You have to be in the mood to dig through all the clothes, but it's well worth it. I used to go with a girlfriend and we would each grab a cart and shop for ourselves and each other because we knew what size each wore. We would get our piles and sort the clothes and then try them all on and come out and…
