FL4I Post Your Progress Here

[Rachellle]

Here you can post your progress and whatever else comes to mind.
I posted a bunch of my cycles, but they came out in several posts. I'm new here so I didn't intend to do that and if I could delete them and start over I would, but....I can't.

Wow Sounds like  you're off to a great start.  

Welcome to the FL4I forum!

There are a few of us here who have found that doing two "Fruit Days" worked instead of doing a Veggie Day" .  Also on Fruit day it helps me to use tomato soup as a meal and I've done well with that.  I've been off FL4I for over a month and will be starting back on it on Monday.  I had done pretty well not gaining weight until this past stressful week, so now I'm sure I've gained and I plan on getting some ice cream to enjoy before I start on Monday.

Best of luck to you on FL4I....please keep us posted...and I apologize for not responding sooner...I've been in the process of moving and remodeling ....dealing with a lost dog and other things, but I should be checking in more often after Monday. Finally I'll have some cable internet...It's been almost a year without it due to living out in the country where they didn't have high speed internet...so I've been using my blackberry phone to get internet on my laptop and pc.

Take care!

hi you all....my name is fariha and im a newbie here and in this diet....ive found it really motivational and inspiring..not to mention effective...im 29 years old and weighed 174lbs when i started the diet 3 days ago. today im 169.8 lbs. my weight have always been fluctuated between 160-185 lbs...ive always been chubby and called fat...although i was pretty healthy otherwise. and active. when i got married back in 2007 i weighed 70 kgs(154lbs) but gained alot over the years. im a housewife and waiting to b a parent, my weight has always been the greatest hindrance in my way.i've tried weight watchers, southbeach, atkins, cabbage soup, cereal diet and numerous others, although i lost weight, but i gained back as soon as im finished with them. so it took a lot of time to figure out that iwasnt eating healthy and dieting healthily. im desperate now and FL4I is my only hope...im not a big fan of exercising, but i walk almost every day. and also from today im starting Zumba...hope to see faster results after that. my progress so far....

hmmm not a pretty sight....well let see wat would change after completing cycle 1...:)

so far i've lost 4.2lbs...and i'll post my progress after completing the cycle.

i've found the diet fairly easy...im not craving much...just something salty sumtimes...but overall im pretty focused. the only thing i've changed so far is eating tilapia instead of flounder...and im pan searing it not broiling it as recommended....also, i didnt like eating beef without anything else, so im just skipping it. my meals call for a lot of eggs and im not sure how much should i eat per day...currently im eating 2-3 /day...i've searched the web, and so far i got mixed views on egg consumption. im trying to limit it 2/day...

Also, drinking 80oz of water is too much for me...coz i dont feel thirsty much...but i've been drinking 8 glasses (64oz) and drinking 2 cups of green tea /day...i hope its fine..:-/...

also, any tips to withstand the "veggie day" would b appreciated..:))

thanx for the forum and all the inspiration...cheers to the weightloss and being healthy...:))
