Sure EMS! Welcome!

Having oatmeal for breakfast. Some pineapple for mid-morning snack. Not sure about lunch yet - possibly more oatmeal (kinda burnt out on rice already this week ) or a big salad.

[Huntinglabmom05]

To mix things up I guess we can try different spices, fruits and veggies.

I was also thinking if we do vegitarian chinease(sp?) food we should be good to go

[wildpookey]

Instead of my regular banana and peach, I am having Pineapple and Apples today.
Really mixing things up huh?
I can't wait until we can start eating normal. LOL - after 9 days, we can have cookies! WOOOHOOOO!

Also to wildpookey..I think what she meant is that she ate those things at 11am and 8pm,

WELCOME!!!!
AND
OMG! I didn't even think of that. I was going to say, thats alot of oatmeal, I dont even think I could eat 19 packets in a week, never mind a day!

[wildpookey]

I am down 4.5 lbs since Monday morning! Holy cow! I can't believe it!

Big fat envie of Q's, here I come!!!

[Huntinglabmom05]

You guys are leaving out some of the best veggies. How about corn on the cob? Or snap peas with a light lemon sauce? Or my favorite . . . brussel sprouts!

I'd join in but I can't just yet . . . still breasfeeding the LO. I going to try a modified version, though.

[mpayne]

I switched it up from what I'd planned for today:

9:30 - banana & blueberries (um, how'd I eat a whole pint?? )

12:30 - mixed green w/grape tomatos & Wishbone spray balsamic dressing; fat-free yogurt

3:30 - oatmeal w/cinnamon and sugar-free caramel syrup

not sure yet about dinner - have a meeting at church so I'll probably just have some fruit and oatmeal.

[mpayne]

I think we should do % of weight lost, like the BFL teams. That makes it more fair. What do you all think?

I'm only down 1/2 lb, but not losing hope!

[sweetmom]

Girls, I want to say thank you all. Why?? because as soon as I read this thread it motivated me to start taking charge of my weight. I am 30 lb over, 20 lb from my daughter and 10 from my son's pregnancy. I ask my DH, everytime I start dieting, to help and motivate me but never really helps me (he just tells me OK to keep my mouth shut). Bu this time, I am doing the soup diet (if anyone wants the diet, let me know, its really good), today is my first day and DH TOO

I didn't joined you all because I was sure my DH didn't wanted to help but this time he really did. I am doing it on my own.

While I'm not actively participating i always find it intresting to see menus and recipes. I found some fat smash recipes here... This Mama Cooks! On a Diet: Extreme Fat Smash Diet Recipes

That is good with me.

Are you our leader???

[lesliec]

EMS, I'd like to do this too, but honestly couldn't start until next Tuesday.... we are going out of town for my b-day and that would just be torture. If you want to wait, we could go in together in a competition next week. LMK.

[wildpookey]

This one sounds good!

Fat Smash Granola
1 cup oatmeal
1 egg white
1 teaspoon oil
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix it up and spread on a cookie sheet. Bake for 8 minutes at 300 degrees. Stir it up again and bake it for another 8 minutes or until it lightly browned and crunchy.

[wildpookey]

What I ate yesterday:
4 Egg Whites
1 Banana
1 Cup of Carrots
1 Apple
1 Peach

I admit, I didn't eat much yesterday but that was because I didn't eat "just because", I only ate when my stomach yelled at me.
Who would have thought that I wouldn't cave and have the cookie that I REALLY REALLY wanted!

[mpayne]

Yesterday I had:

pint of blueberries
banana
mixed greens w/grape tomatoes
1/2 c oatmeal
yogurt (6oz)
4 egg whites w/grape tomatos
1 bite-size piece of Dove dark chocolate (I was craving it soooo bad, I just went ahead so I would stop obsessing)

[mpayne]

Are you our leader???

Doesn't look like it, does it!?

[Huntinglabmom05]

Yesterday:
4 Egg whites
1 packet of oatmeal (For Pookey thats O-N-E)
1 cup brown rice
1 cup Onions
1/2 cup Mushrooms
1/2 cup carrots, brocoli and peppers
1 Cup peaches
Oh! and a Large Salad with olives, carrots and 1 table spoon of dressing!

I am down to 185!!! Thats a total of 1.5 lbs lost!

[wildpookey]

I dont know where this will power is coming from but I am not going to argue!

Huntinglabmom, you did great! 1.5lbs! Yeah!!!!
Mpayne - put the candy down, I repeat! Back away from the candy and PUT IT DOWN! You still did quite well yesterday.

Are you guys exercising too? That is my downfall.

that sounds great!! to tell ya the truth, I won't be able to start for a few more days anyways because I just made tons of chicken and noodles and mashed potatoes and I tupperware it all for my lunches. So I have a ton of these little lunches to eat up before they go bad. Then I can start OK enough of my excuses, ..just let me know when you can start..we can do it together

[mpayne]

I might have to drop out, ladies. My IBS is flaring up something AWFUL with all the fruits/veggies. Doggonit! I hate the thought of not being able to lose this weight, but if my tummy doesn't settle down soon, I can't keep this up. It's been horrible today.

If I do have to drop out, everyone gets a RAOK. So I will be keeping my end of the deal, anyway...

I'll just be fat while you all are getting skinny.

BTW, yes, I exercise. I walk a few times a week with friends from church. We have a treadmill at home, and I need to dust it off and start doing it every day again. Especially if I can't keep eating the FS way.

[vkearney]

Hey mpayne- don't give up! Try googling IBS and Diet. Perhaps you just need to modify the type of fruit you are eating. Remember you did eat a whole pint of blueberries! A whole pint would make my tummy go a bit wild too. Also if you're not usually a yougurt eater that could cause some issues. Please don't give up...maybe you just need to make some tweaks!

[mpayne]

Oh, I know what I'm supposed to eat. Unfortunately, most of the "healthy" stuff (veggies, fruits) are the worst for IBS. I don't know why I keep thinking that it's not going to bother me... it does every time.

I won't give up trying to eat better, but I just can't eat the quantity of veggies and fruits that I have been this week unless they are pureed - and I can only drink so many smoothies! I'll hang in there, but I don't think I'll be able to follow the FS plan 100%.
