FL4I Post Your Progress Here
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.

Yes some of them are very odd indeed...sometimes the foods go very well together.
I've found myself asking which one of my two or three choices do I want, because none of them go together.

I find ALL the meals odd..... but the results motivate me to 'manage' with the weird choices.... best of all I have not been left hungry despite eating so little compared to what I was eating....
Good luck :)

TALK ABOUT DIETING FOR 5 DAYS AND BEING MOTIVATED!
DID I SAY WOW?
---------------------------
I've been walking on my treadmill 30 minutes a day now too. I got the treadmill shortly after my heart attack since my cardio doctor said I could only do 30 mins of exercise, but only used it a few times until recently...now it's part of my daily list of things to do.
I take the following supplements (keep in mind I had a heart attack 09/08/09 and recently came off of a ton of pain meds after being on them for years.
I take Per Day:
1000 mg of Vitamin C
Flaxseed Oil 1000 mg 3 times a day
Vitamin E 1000 I.U.
MegaRed 100% Pure Omega-3 Krill Oil 300 mg
One A Day Women's Active Metabolism
FL4I doesn't require any supplements, but after having Serotonin syndrome, Flukes and going through mega withdrawls coming off all those pain killers within the past 40 days (at 3 weeks for the Serotonin syndrome and quitting all my pain meds), I really needed some good stuff going through my system.
I drink about 84 fl oz of water daily
I eat my meals about 3 hours apart
I only eat until I'm satisified and many times when it's time to eat I'm not very hungry, but try to get in all 4 meals a day.
Day 2 1- Cycle 1 FL4I :06/28/11 I weighed in at 223.4 lbs
Loss 3.4
Day 3 - Cycle 1 FL4I : 06/29/11 I weighed in at 220 lbs
another 3.4 lb loss
Day 4 - Cycle 1 FL4I : 06/30/11 I weighed in at 219.4

Here is my progress/story so far:
Thursday, June 23, 2011
I'm a newbie....I just purchased the FL4I program online last night.
I've been searching and doing research on diets, calorie counting etc...
So, after a couple week search/research, I came across the Fat Loss 4 Idiots. (Does that make me an idiot?)
I have "Yo-Yoed" all my life.
In June of 2002 I weighed 360 lbs
January 2005 I weighed 280 lbs
June 2006 I weighed 235 lbs
December 2006 I weighed 204 lbs and kept it there until February of 2008 when my 24 yr old son Arthur was found dead.
On September 8, 2009, I had a heart attack...shortly after turning 45. I weighed in at 270 lbs
Since the heart attack I've lost about 50 lbs....last time I checked.
I was on a ton of pain meds for several years due to chronic pain. My doc prescribed cymbalta...and it helped, but I couldn't sleep. Then I got sick....Come to find out you don't mix tramadol and cymbalta not to mention the hydrocodone and muscle relaxers I was on.
For over three years - Tramadol hcl 50mg tab -- up to 8 a day.
For a year -Zanaflex maybe 3 a day
For a couple years -Hydrocodone-Ibuporf 7.5 mg normally 4 a day but sometimes more.
May 16, 20011 - June 8, 2011 - Cymbalta 60mg Delayed Release caps
Well almost 11 days ago I quit them all "Cold Turkey".
Boy was that a nightmare not to mention stupid...it could have killed me. But I went through some #%@&! and tomorrow I will be pill free for 11 days.
I was on a two meal a day diet and lost 11 lbs in less than a week prior to quitting the poison.
Had an anniversary weekend get away and also bought a new digital scale that tracks a bunch of stuff..."Healthometer Professional Body Fat Scale". Well with all that..the outing and change of scale it was up 20 lbs.
I decided it's time for a change...I'm done starving myself and not eating the right balance of foods and after a bunch of research ...I'm going to do this FL4I.
No more pills ....no more starving....no more guessing. It is time for Rachelle to get HEALTHY!
I've got several trackers set up on Medhelp and a little support there.
When I had my heart attack, I had to have an angioplasty with some stents put in and some opening of other arteries done. My cardio doc said as far as exercise goes to walk 30 mins a day. Ha ha...I bought a good treadmill, used it a few times and it became dusty.
I've been back on my treadmill and use it daily for 30 mins now, and that really helps me deal with the pain since I am no longer on any pain killers.
Like I said, I'm starting this Monday, June 27, 2011. I have my first 11 days of meals printed out and am making a shopping list/going shopping to get prepared.
