I've lost about 8 pounds so far and i'm super happy. Now i'm wondering if anyone has any advice... Monday i'm having my wisdom teeth surgically removed. I dont think i'll be wanting to eat much for a few days afterwards, especially 6 times but i'm going to try to stick with the diet anyway. So what would you eat for those days? i'm thinking lots of egg whites, cottage cheese and cut up very soft fruits.. is there any high protein low carb ice cream or soup lol so you will be on core week 1, right? for lean proteins eat greek yogurt (I like the chobani 2% -- it's still low fat) or cottage cheese, or protein shakes -- I know they are gross but you can drink them during the day.. fats -- maybe a cheese stick? or if you went full fat on the greek yogurt it could count as a protein and a fat? low GI carbs -- maybe cantalope because it's really soft or the sugar free apple sauce would work... or how about some sugar free baby food ? (sounds gross but it might not be that bad) I think the hardest will be the proteins - surviving on egg whites, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, and protein shakes won't be easy. Good luck, you can do it!

happy to report I am down 1.2 pounds this week. I am sticking to it religiously and feel as though I should be losing more, HOWEVER I am not exercising so it is my own fault. I think it will work better (in core) once I start hitting the gym.. I'm so lazy about it..lol congrats to everyone this week!! lisa don't beat yourself up, it happens to everyone and yam fries are the best. i am in the middle of cheat day for breakfast I had eggs benedict *YUM* for lunch I had fish & chips although I couldn't eat the fries and I had to stop eating the fish about 1/2 way.. WAY too greasy for me. I ordered an extra portion of tartar sauce but didn't even finish the first one. Dinner -- who knows but I know it will be something good and I will cheat and have a glass of wine....

ok stupid question -- do I pick the father/daughter song or does my dad? I mean basically they are sung from the father's perspective so I feel like I should get his feedback about the song choice? Anyway I really like father and daughter by paul simon.. Beautiful song. here's a youtube.. (the first half is the father and daughter song) YouTube - Paul Simon, Father and Daughter, You Can Call Me Al

we did a 'pre-rsvp' for the destination part only on our STD cards (it was the last page of our packet of 'boarding passes') .. it basically said, In the coming months you will receive a formal invitation for both the Mexico wedding ceremony and the Rhode Island reception. For our planning purposes we would appreciate if you could let us know by Dec 1, 2009 if you are planning on attending the Mexico wedding ceremony Name(s)_______________________ Adults_________ Children ________ We didn't put a yes/no.. basically only requested that people mail them back if they are planning on going... I know it won't be 100% accurate but it will help...

OK confused by all the 'fit' options - classic comfort fit - straight fit - slimmer straight fit - boot cut - slimmer boot cut - baggy - semi baggy - skinny tight fit (tapering bottom) - skinny tight fit ( boot cut) - skinny tight fit (straight cut) what are the differences?? I didn't see pics of each which would really be helpful... what did you all order and how did they fit? Thanks a million!! -katie

I've been looking for a card box that is foldable (for putting in a suitcase for travel)... every card box i've found is thick cardboard and comes fully assembled ... Any links to something that might work would be appreciated! Thanks!

I've never been a huge meat eater, but I will eat it as part of a meal, but it's hard when you're eating it sort of, alone. I kind of have to choke it down. I've been eating a lot of cottage cheese. I do have a question because I can't remember and I'm too lazy to read back through the whole packet right now. But am I supposed to weigh myself this weekend? On what would normally be my cheat day? or am I supposed to wait until priming is over? How's everyone else doing? I think you are supposed to do it every week (saturday AM) ... of course if you want to wait you could do that too.... priming phase week 3 and core week 1 have been slow for me --although I have been weighing myself every day which I know is a no no so I'm going to wait until tomorrow to post officially.... ok stick with it - -- only a few more days until fruit and beans !

I think i'd go for a boob lift... however when I successfully reach my weight loss goal I might also want a tummy tuck....

yes -- i have had a grilled thai chicken pizza and it had pb and green onions and chicken on it and it was really good would you admit it if you farted in a meeting at work?

like ice cream with crushed pineapple topping

omg your real dress is gorgeous.. I wouldn't want to trash that, either!! the ttd dress looks nice, too

lisa i don't know how I missed this thread but I just read the whole thing and your dress is fan-freakin-tastic!! I think that your aunt was waiting for the alterations until December in case you lost or gained weight -- she worked so fast to create it, she can probably take it in quickly too -- I personally wouldn't take it to a local seamstress or even suggest it to her unless she suggests it first -- she may want to start/finish the dress and call it her own.. kwim? I'd just call her and say, 'yay! I lost a bunch of weight and the dress is really big on me now -- do you think that you will have enough time to do the alterations?' anyway.. my 2 cents congrats on such a beautiful dress and such an amazing aunt you have!! and keep up the good work with cywt!! who knows, it may end being 30# by december!!!

i can't find the seller on etsy -- anyone have a link?

That and I ended up having a cheat day on Sunday too since we were out of town and pretty much gave up. My weigh-in will probably suck again this week. Sigh! oooh keep me posted with that.. I am on week 1 of core and doing it by the book but if i don't lose I am going to switch it around as well... do you know approx how many calories/day you are consuming? is it possible you're not eating enough and your body is going into starvation mode? I worry about that bc I'm only eating 1000-1200 calories/day but the meals every 3 hours is supposed to combat that I thought?

Before I started this the only carbs I really ate were 100% wheat bread and potatoes once or twice a week with my dinners. I was not able to give up fruit. I'm just not sure why I am so tired. I take a b-12 pill every morning and i take a vitamin on top of that, which is high in Iron. are you eating the low carb for 3 weeks? you shouldn't be more than 6 days in a row of low carb -- for priming phase it's only 6 days of low carb, then 7 days of alternating low carb / low gi, then 6 days of low gi... plus on the low carb days you can eat veggies and stuff which have some natural sugars... on the low gi days you can eat a piece of wheat bread and fruit,etc... are you getting enough sleep? is it good sleep?

sometimes I will cut up a red bell pepper into strips and much on it at various times in the day... there are lots of free veggies on the list .. so take advantage if you're hungry!
