Fat Loss for Idiots!

Ummm... I started writing this post two days ago and never posted it. Oops!

With my sister's wedding and my New York trip, I need to lose weight. Well, they are more like motivational factors to help me jump on the Lose Weight Band Wagon. To jump start the shedding of pounds I will be doing the Cabbage Soup Diet for the next two weeks (now it is the next week in a half). Just like the page states, it's a Fat Loss program for idiots. It makes sense, I will be eating a lot of fruits and vegetables that flushes out my system and gets rid of waste, eating foods that take more energy to burn then they have and they have a lot of fiber, so it will fill me up.

What I realized so far, is man I snack a lot! I normally go for the nut on my desk and now that nuts are not on the plan, I realize how often I would reach for them. Plus, a lot of my calories come from juice. I drink juice and those vitamins waters all the time. I must get 400-500 calories from them each day. THAT'S A LOT! Plus, I noticed that I used to visit the cafeteria on my breaks at school even if I wasn't hungry. I haven't weighted myself yet, but I am hoping to lose like 6 lbs during this whole process.

Oh and I will post Hearst Castle pictures tomorrow. Sorry for the delay!

I looked at the page you linked...are you doing the Cabbage Soup Diet or the Fat Loss Program for Idiots? The Idiot program spends like 5 pages trying to convince you how great it is and why other diets fail and this diet works, and then at the end, it makes you pay $20-$50 before it'll let you download the Idiot diet. Did you download it? If you did, I'm curious what this big miracle cure to fat is, this "diet-shifting" thing that it promises.

Cindy - Oh, I am just doing the diet not the program with 5 pages. Opps! I weighted myself today and 4lbs lost! YAY!

Jessy - You should so do it! The fruit day was the easiest for me cuz there are so many fruits to choose from and I wan't hungry at all. The all veggie day was harder. The one that was the best was milk and banana day. I blended a banana, soy milk (cuz I don't drink cow milk) and ice and made a smoothie. YUM! I am doing it for another week if you want to do it together and shed some weightbefore your wedding day.

Thanks! Yup it did! MY clothes feel looser. I was thinking I might continue the diet until NY time, just to keep me in check. Maybe do it M-F and eat normal onthe weekend and lighter of course not the ice cream junk that I love.
