Hello gang!

Well today is the close of day seven. I had a diet soda and an espresso. Boy do I have heart burn. Once on the MC I had the same feeling. It sucks. I plan on fasting until Sunday. If the heartburn gets bad I might end early. Well maybe not???? Anyway have a great night. Chat soon.

SJN02 · 06-23-2006, 03:58 AM

Makeup- Congrats on making it through day 7

Tracey40 · 06-23-2006, 05:24 AM

YEAH TRACEY!!!

Woooo hoooo

Makeup - YES - I have to down a ton of water after my a.m. coffee to keep that heartburn at bay... but it does work!

SNJ!! That is sooooo coool!!!

Walking Woman - Have a great day - you're off to an awesome start! What's the occasion for the luncheon? Promotion? Moving? Bday??

Nady! Glad to see you going in the right direction!!! My in-laws are coming today - they're drinkers, but think I can hold off on that till tomorrow... Weekends are the hardest along those partying lines!

ashalton - Are you in for today? Good luck!

Kawgirl - How's it for you? Any changes? Clothes starting to loosen? Sometimes that's a nicer sign than the scale will give anyway!

Ok- off to work I go!

Let's have an awesome day kids!

Tracey40 · 06-23-2006, 07:45 AM

I'm still 20 lbs behind you! LOL

My goal is 140 by July 1 - I think that is reasonable. If I keep the goals smaller and attainable I have more of a chance of reaching them.

Question of the day: What is your goal for next week?

My goal for next week really should be - eat right and no junk!

ashalton · 06-23-2006, 08:44 AM

Hey!
It got pretty difficult last night but I stayed strong. Went walking and before I went to bed did some crunches.
Woke up this morning and I'm at 68,

Day 1 : 171
Day 2 : 168

Im happy with that! Can't wait to lose more!

jcrc1312 · 06-23-2006, 08:52 AM

Hello there, I think I'm back on board for the weekend. Ended my fast on Tuesday, and ate M/E Wednesday and Thursday. I'm not hungry this am, so I think I'll try again. Am also down another lb. this am.
Yay, alex. Stick with it
FYI ashalton is my 22 year old dd, so we are in this together.

Well, good luck to everyone today. Stay strong.

Nady · 06-23-2006, 09:38 AM

Hi all~
Well, the computer is working~ DH (Mr. Fit-it) took it apart, changed a fuse, dusted, oiled and we said a prayer and put it back together~ seems to be okay for now~

funny how you come to depend on a machine that you didn't even know how to use a few short years ago~

Anyway, doing good, considering that I ate too much yesterday~ didn't gain any back~ maybe I just needed to ease up for a bit~ back on the plan today.

I'm reading Perricone's new book *The Perricone Weight Loss Diet.*~ yes, I know I said no more reading books, but this one has a lot of nutritional info as far as certain supplements and why they help you lose weight. It also addresses something that makes sense~ inflammation~ and how it causes weight gain~ I have a history of eating the absolute wrong foods so maybe now I understand more of how much I've 'upset' my entire system and what I need to heal it. The foods he recommends are mostly right in line with Atkins and are also things I genuinely love ~ like salmon and veggies~ Still trying to learn I guess~

Anyhoo~ Hope everyone is doing great today~ TGIF!!!!

It's amazing how much we've all learned about our bodies, etc. from Fasting. Once we get thru detox and really pay attention to what we put back into the old digestive system, our bodies really do tell us what works and what doesn't . . .kind of like Makeups body rebelling to the coffee & SF candy... or my own when eating straight fruit!

Let us know what else you learn Nady...

That is sooo cool that you two are doing the buddy system!!!

walkingwoman · 06-23-2006, 10:24 AM

Morning Ladies, I'm down to my lowest weight of 125.5 this morning. I am so excited! Fasting has made all the difference for me. Funny how it is easier for me to not eat at all than it is to choose from a list of foods

on an approved diet list

I say whatever works

I have my luncheon today (its for a project I did) but will probably just do meat/veggies, no dessert (God help me, let it be something I can resist)

and probably back to fasting tomorrow for Sat, Sun I have a brunch to attend with a bloody Mary bar

! Now THAT will be a challenge! Needless to say, Monday here I'll be

and way ready to hit goal next week!

makeup · 06-23-2006, 12:58 PM

Day eight. Im feeling better heart burn seems to be almost gone. I am glad to hear that other drink coffee also. I just started two days ago with espresso. I drink an americano it's espresso with hot water adding a bit of cream and splenda. Yummy Yummy then water and diet soda. Im tired today. Didn't get much sleep last night. I feel skinny today. Not sure what I weight but tired on an old skirt that isnt quite fitting but almost.

Thanks girls,
Makeup

makeup · 06-23-2006, 04:53 PM

wearing pants today that i havent worn in sooo long. What a great feeling. Gosh im happy but sad because i dont ever maintain. WE CAN DO THIS! dAY 8

walkingwoman · 06-23-2006, 06:35 PM

Great job Makeup!

My luncheon turned out to be pretty easy to deal with. There was a spa menu

My one downfall was a chocolate peanutbutter cookie but the salad was only 500 calories, so I figure between the cookie and the lunch I have to be under a thousand calories for the day. I'm hoping I'll be even on my weighin tomorrow and hit goal on Sunday

Keeping my fingers crossed.

walkingwoman · 06-24-2006, 05:48 AM

I woke up to an even scale

and am going out on an early morning hike to get the day started. I'll be eating light today I think. We shall see

Have a great day everyone!

ashalton · 06-24-2006, 07:17 AM

I dont know what happened but I booted back up to 169...Kind of put me at a downside this morning.
Im going to water fast all day today and then tonight keep the food to low carbs low cal...going to a mexican resturant now, they still have shrimp on the menu though so hopefully I'll be okay.
Im not letting this make me quit.

jcrc1312 · 06-24-2006, 07:40 AM

Good morning all!
alex-good for you for sticking with it though! Your own mother didn't do quite so well(hanging my head in shame)
I had a MAJOR blowout last night at about dinner time that lasted til about 930pm. I ate everything in sight! and topped it off with a pecan mudslide at DQ UUGGHH.
I am only up a pound this morning. But I am sick to my stomac and have been in the bathroom at least 3 times this morning in agonizing pain.
I will NEVER do this again!!!
I'm trying to figure what triggered my insanity. All I can think of is I felt kind of tired and a little headachey all day, and the kids were whiny all day. Oh well, lame excuse. I'm back on again...
If I can just remember how bad I feel this morning, you would think that that would be a big inspiration to stick with it.
Wish me luck...and the same to all here.
We CAN do this...

walkingwoman~ Retail therapy!

Good job on your all time low!

Are you fasting this week?

Faith~ You have lost so much in such a short time. Your body will start losing again. Be patient, and it will melt off.

I hope talking about the whipped cream didn't cause you to indulge.

Marci~ Maintaining is harder. Thanks for all the cheers you give to everyone!

Kawgirl~ You can vent anytime. That is what we're all here for.

Nady~ Good "decision". It is amazing how other's voicing their trials helps the rest of us.

on the booze-free lifestyle change.

Julie~

Did you say #9?

Makeup~ Great pep talk.

You are doing so well!

Maheve~ Nice to see you around.

Alex~

Great job!

Tracey~ How is it going?

I probably missed a few of you since it is almost 2am here.

Hoops · 06-26-2006, 03:03 AM

Update on Man and Whipped Cream~

I am here to report there was no whipped cream. He did show me a can of it in his refrigerator, and all I could do was giggle.

We had such an incredible time together in St Louis that we've decided to spend another week there with the kids this time (my son and his two boys) in two weeks from now.

That is Awesome Hoops! Life is good when things all click together!

ashalton · 06-26-2006, 05:31 AM

Oh wow. I am definatly suffering after this last weekend. Maybe last week just wasnt my week to start. I'm starting over again today...all water. Not feeling so good this morning but I think it has more to do with the weather getting more cooler and my allergies just going crazy.
So here we go again!
Wish me luck on my second try at this. I'm not going to let the slip up get me down!

Hang in there! I pretty much have a "whatever" day every couple of weeks. But if you could keep it to ONE day or even just ONE meal that you let yourself "indulge"... you're body won't fight you so much on a regular basis... or maybe that's the Cravings that won't fight you..

Yesterday was my "indulgence" day. It was awesome. Dinner/dessert/good wine/better company.... Today is FASTING The scale wasn't moving, but I tend to gain the weight a day or two after the fun, so tomorrow will show.

Hope everyone's weekend went well... have to get some work done then I can catch back up later today!

Great Attitude Alex! Today is a new day! You CAN do it!!!

Those allergies sure play havoc on a girls head don't they

ashalton · 06-26-2006, 05:55 AM

They do indeed. Same thing happened when I started last week and I just got really tired and just wanted to break down so bad. I have plenty to do today so hopefully I'll be more occupied and wont have to worry about wanting to eat so much.

phibi · 06-26-2006, 08:51 AM

[COLOR=Blue]Q: Who's going to be serious about fasting THIS TIME??

A: ME! ME!

I did very well for the first few days of my last fast and then decided that I am a "big girl" and can make my own good food choices. Well, all that's happened is that I have become a "big girl."

Anyway. Time. To. Get. F-in. Serious. It's summer. I have to don a bikini. HELLO? What better motivation is that?

Not only that - but I don't have to teach any high intensity fitness classes for the summer semester. What better time than NOW???

Good fasting all! I need to catch up on the posts. OH! And if I stop posting in here, that means I'm F-ing up and that I need a PM to remind me to head back here!

phibi · 06-26-2006, 10:35 AM

[COLOR=Blue]What do you do to keep from thinking about eating while fasting?

I do browse recipes

(crazy, I know)
BUT
I also like to research all of the health benefits associated with fasting. It gives me more resolve. I found this article today:
Health Benefits of Fasting

Hi all~
Still doing good~lost ½ pound over the weekend, so it's still going in the right direction~ Following this Perricone diet~ my skin is starting to look better but I smell like salmon! ~ I better not run into any grizzly bears!

Hang in there everyone~

walkingwoman · 06-26-2006, 11:44 AM

I had a disasterous last 2 days

so, I'm fasting for at least 2 days to undo the damage

Water, water and more water is all for me

Hoops · 06-26-2006, 12:00 PM

Raw Diet~ Starting today, I will be eating only raw fruits and vegetables for

Alex~ Fasting definitely gets easier after you get a few short fasts under your belt. After saying that, even the regular fasters struggle.... every single one of us.

Nady~ A salmon!

Oh, you crack me up!

Phibi~ Keep me in check, too!

Marci~ You are so right about allowing some cheese and wine, just getting right back to plan the following day or even the next meal. No wonder you're at goal!

Im going to water fast all day today and then tonight keep the food to low carbs low cal...going to a mexican resturant now, they still have shrimp on the menu though so hopefully I'll be okay. Im not letting this make me quit.

He did show me a can of it in his refrigerator, and all I could do was giggle. We had such an incredible time together in St Louis that we've decided to spend another week there with the kids this time (my son and his two boys) in two weeks from now.

Maybe last week just wasnt my week to start. I'm starting over again today...all water. Not feeling so good this morning but I think it has more to do with the weather getting more cooler and my allergies just going crazy. So here we go again! Wish me luck on my second try at this. I'm not going to let the slip up get me down! -alex

Same thing happened when I started last week and I just got really tired and just wanted to break down so bad. I have plenty to do today so hopefully I'll be more occupied and wont have to worry about wanting to eat so much.

After saying that, even the regular fasters struggle.... every single one of us. Nady~ A salmon! Oh, you crack me up! Phibi~ Keep me in check, too! Marci~ You are so right about allowing some cheese and wine, just getting right back to plan the following day or even the next meal. No wonder you're at goal!
