So I dont know if this is even right or not...but I got on the scale today at work and it said 204??? No way!
It could be true because when I weighed in at drs on Monday at 207 it was my TOM and I felt so bloated. I do plan on staying on this for the 2.5 months. i need to lose 70 to get where I really want to be. And if I lose even 30 I will be happy! So girls..are we exercising also? I hope everyone has a great day <3

I am only going to get in 1 hour of cardio a day,,the dr that gave me this plan said all I need is 30-60 mins of cardio a day that's it! And as always he suggest walking which is my most favorite exercise!!! So yea u can do what ever execise u want with this plan if will help increase the results

**tazgirl31** · February 3rd, 2010, 09:28 AM

Today is day 3 I'm down 2.7 in 3 days I may make that 5 pounds in 5 days if not I will b close!! I was down . 8 today! I'm excited just to b losing again! And it feels so wrong cause I been eating lots of food and lots of ranch dressing I just dump lots on my salad lol I love that stuff! Soooo anyways I'm off to try to get my car fixed, no sight of Tom yet but he's close cause the girls r hurting bad hehe! Have a gooood day hope everyone is down this morning!! I will b checking in today!!! Taz

**Tara C** · February 3rd, 2010, 10:31 AM

Taz- It definately is the dream diet. I dont mind the grapefruit juice...its not that bad once I got used to it. Ranch dressing is my sidecick too LOL I love it. I dont know if anyone has tried this and I know we are allowed to have any kind we want but I put fat free italian on most of my salad then a little bit of ranch just for some flavor. So its not as many calories. I may have lost 3 lbs because I have also been taking my phen everyday.
Everyone at work is noticing I am losing...that is the best feeling. My boss noticed yesterday and said my clothes are getting too big!

I have lost about 20lbs since I started working there in August but I plan to lose a whole lot more. I am off today so maybe I will do my shred DVD. I cant make it past the first 10 minutes LOL.We got lots of snow last night so I will not be leaving my nice warm house today! SORRY I am rambling...my phen's got me a little jacked up. Have a great day!

**EEB310** · February 3rd, 2010, 11:06 AM

Hey ladies!

So I lost 1 pound from yesterday morning until today! I guess the oranges had no neg effects and I will stick with those for the rest of the week and see what my total weight loss is!!

So I was wondering, do we have to have the bedtime snack or is it optional? b/c last nite I didn't have it and I still did ok. I don't like tomato juice and I don't drink milk either. The only time I like milk is in my cereal..I know weird huh...I just can't drink it plain by the glass.

Well I hope everyone else is losing too! Keep it up ladies! We can do this!!

**Tosh322** · February 3rd, 2010, 11:35 AM

Good Morning!!!
I started this diet yesterday and I weighed this morning and I am down 2.2 lbs from yesterday!!! woohoo!! i was so excited!!! hopefully the scale will keep moving down closer to my goal!!! Im getting used to the grapefruit too, its actually very filling. Well I hope that everyone has a great day, I am working from home today which is always a plus....everyone have a wonderful and productive day...cant wait to see results from all of you!!!!!

**mscasanova** · February 3rd, 2010, 01:59 PM

That's ok tho I have 2.5 months to get it all off! Ur right I think the grapefruit is what makes me sooo full I eat it first before my meal that way I won't eat to much salad lol I been pigging out tho and just amazed every morning to see my weight down keep it up girl u will b to goal in no time!!! Taz

**southernbelle88** · February 3rd, 2010, 02:03 PM

wow congrats on the weight loss mscas and tosh!! That's awesome!!! I haven't lost or gained so I'm probably one of those who lose on the 5th day lol. This diet isn't hard to stick to because it's food you normally should eat anyway. It's hard though to not eat those other foods or snack in between meals. When I started phen jan 7 I had to cut out so much food and limit myself to only low cal, sugar free.. etc.. and now I have to eliminate some more! lol My body is probably just in shock right now wondering where all the carbs and sugars went to haha.

Keep up the good work ladies!! That's so great to see that this diet really does work!

Kielbasa is just Polish Sausage. Sorry I didn't post yesterday y'all...it was a little crazy. I'll post tonight definately! Time to get back to work.

**EEB310** · February 3rd, 2010, 03:00 PM

Thanks Taz!

I hate tomatoes also...haha..I only really like them on tacos or wraps sometimes but I can't eat them by themselves. Last nite I didn't have the snack so like the oranges I will just do it without the snack for the first week and see what happens

I'll def keep you posted about the oranges!!

I'm glad everyone else is losing weight!!! Congrats everyone!!

I'm going to exercise tonite so hopefully I'll lose more than 1 pound, b/c yesterday I didn't exercise at all...but even if I lost 1 pound/day, that would be 7 in a week and it would only take me 4 weeks to get to my goal!!..haha..Well a girl can dream can't she?!?!

it's hard to eat of drink something u hate lol! I gotta b on a plan that the food is normal n yummy or I won't stick with it!!!!! Taz

**southernbelle88** · February 3rd, 2010, 03:26 PM

I was doing some research on this diet and came across a link to ***** who says this diet was never put out by The Mayo Clinic and they do not back it up at all. Here's the web address. check it out: http://www.w e b m d.com/diet/features/the-mayo-clinic-diet

**note- take out the spaces in w e b m d .. this site star'd it out for some reason when i put it together...??***

I have to say, though, that it really appears that it DOES work. So many people have lost weight already! And it was recommended by Taz's cardiologist! .. what the heck lol

I seen on many websites that this is a fad diet and was not endorsed at all by the Mayo Clinic..they supposedly do have a diet by them called THE REAL MAYO CLINIC DIET..but it is different than this one.

They say b/c it is a fad many dieters will lose water weight and quickly regain the weight back. I disagree with this tho b/c most of us have been eating healthy and exercising already so how much more water can be lost? I mean maybe when someone is first starting out it's mostly water but I don't think so when your already living a healthy lifestyle. What do you all think?

..and I don't care if it is a fad diet..it works and we are eating REAL food and mostly as much as we want to fill us up!

..and I agree if Taz's doc gave it to her it can't be as bad as these reviews make it out to be!!

Personally I wouldn't even listen to these other websites. I mean we can all try it for a week and see how we do and if we feel great and are losing, we'll just keep it up..but if we notice that it isn't working for us for whatever reason, then we can always try something new!!

**southernbelle88** · February 3rd, 2010, 04:18 PM

I totally agree EEB -- and look at the foods.. salad.. veggies.. meat.. NO carbs.. NO sugar.. NO starches .. really.. who wouldn't lose weight on it? The only point they make that I can understand is that they don't specify what kind of meat and if people go out eating KFC chicken and everything fried in grease and butter.. then it doesn't make sense that they would really lose anything. It works because you're eating healthy!! lol It's not a strange fad diet like the ice cream and hot dog diet because it makes sense that you would lose weight with these foods. I guess as long as you use common sense with your food choices on this then you will lose weight. I'm not sure if I believe the whole grapefruit as a burn catalyst after reading this but those are healthy too and they may just be magical so why not?

I'm not giving up on it and if it's working for everyone else, there's obviously some truth to it!

**tazgirl31** · February 3rd, 2010, 04:34 PM

I totally agree with u EEB, I no my dr wouldn't give this to me if it was a hoax or bad for me, and as u said I don't think it's water weight were losing cause i have already lost over 121 pounds lol I'm way beyond that point! This plan really works I have seen tons of patients and nurses at the hosp on it that lost alot of weight and kept it off! It's just like any other diet long as u get off it and continue eating healthy u will keep the weight off! I'm sticking with it cause I love the food, it's real food and I'm losing weight so I'm happy with the plan! All we can do is stay on it until were not losing no more as we would any other plan

Thanks Im loving HIS results... haha Im happy with mine too. Monday night we had lemon pepper oven roasted chicken with broccoli and the salad. Last night we had steak hubby grilled with broccoli with lemon herb seasoning on it. He went a little nuts at the store and bought a TON of broccoli for some reason. Tonight Im making the Dijon chicken with Roasted veggie mix. Im going to put some broccoli, bell peppers, red onion and carrots together and roast them.

My DR was super happy! I asked him about grapefruit today and he said its a GREAT fruit to eat. Very healthy even tho it does have more carbs than others. I didnt tell him Im on this just yet. He did read my food journal and said it all looks verryy good.

SO looks like everything is on the up and up!

**Jenpuma** · February 3rd, 2010, 06:28 PM

okay I'm loving this diet.I'm always full. To my superise I'm actually on my second bottle of grapefruit juice and I'm getting used to it.I drink a 8oz glass three times a day. I feel wonderful never hungry and at work last night there was tons of junk food and I even had to serve ice cream and cupcakes. I wasn't even tempted to taste the frosting.Today my husband had chinese food and although it smell great I stuck to my diet strickly. Omg I just weighed myself and the scale said 195.2 wow thats almost 5 lbs!!!!

Woot woot! Almost 5 pounds down is awesome! Good job on not cheating with all that yummy food! That shows u have strong willpower and will get to goal! Looking great is far better then that cake n icecream lol! I'm happy for u

I think the grapefruit juice keeps us from craving junk cause since being on this plan I don't want all that nemore! Keep up the goood work!!! Taz

**postalpezhead** · February 3rd, 2010, 09:30 PM

Hi Girls..
I had to work all day today..up super early and just now sat down to go back to bed..Lol...
Taz...Thanks you soooo much..for pointing out my goofs...

I really appreciate it...and today was awesome...I got up to a 1pd. loss..and I cannot believe I felt so full at breakfast..which I have to eat on the run while I'm working...(Postal Service)..and didn't even finish it! I had 2 scrambled eggs and 2 pieces bacon..
Lunch was Big Salad with Iceberg Lettuce,baby leaf spinach leaves,red onion,bell pepper,tomato..with Ranch...and leftover Stew Beef..
Dinner..I hope I didn't screw up on..I had 2 Smoked sausage links and spinach..is that ok?...having nightly snack of tomato juice now...

Got a question..How much grapefruit juice do we drink at each meal? I don't think I have been drinking the right amount..been having 1/2 cup each time...and this diet is so awesome! I'm so full feeling! Love it...Gotta run..Night to everyone...hoping everyone has a great day tomorrow!

Laurie

**scsemperfi** · February 3rd, 2010, 10:44 PM

Well, I have to admit that I'm slightly discouraged. I started my Phen on Friday and had lost 5 lbs by monday but I haven't lost anymore since then. Thankfully I haven't gained any back but still. I guess I'm just going to be one of those people that loses on the 5th day. Monday and Tuesday I walked on the treadmill for 25 minutes but I skipped this morning because I didn't sleep well last night. I'll get back on the treadmill in the am and try to up my cardio time to over 30 minutes. I'm just REALLY REALLY tired of being fat and I'm REALLY hoping that this works for me.

**EEB310** · February 4th, 2010, 10:39 AM

So I lost .4 lbs since yesterday. I love this diet and it is sooo easy to follow! I actually woke up at 6:10am this morning and was on my elliptical by 6:20!! I've been trying for weeks to get up early and get on that thing but I was always too tired to get up! So I am going to try and do this each day before work!! I might do it on the weekends too b/c I dont have to get up so early!! Maybe this will boost my weight loss?! I'll keep you all posted! Have a great day everyone!

**Tara C** · February 4th, 2010, 11:04 AM

So ladies...I dont know if this is right but Im soo happy to see it. I got on the scale this morning and it said 200....

I really do think when I weighed at the dr on Monday it was not accurate due to my loving TOM but if it was i have lost 7lbs since then. I also got a new scale at home. I went a little crazy in walmart last night. I found workout pants for 9 bucks, tshirts for 5 and sweatshirts for 5 so I stocked up I was really lacking in gym clothes. I also bought a dancing with the starts dance body tone workout dvd. We are supposed to get a huge snowstorm this weeked so I will be stuck inside.
Have a great day....off to eat my breakfast

**tazgirl31** · February 4th, 2010, 11:31 AM

I'm happy this morning I'm down another pound!! Woot woot' I'm almost at that 5 pound mark in 5 days

))))))

Tara, woohooo ur almost ready to join me in onderland!!! Omggg that's a goood feeling when u hit 200

**Tosh322** · February 4th, 2010, 01:03 PM

Good Morning!!!!
Just wanted to hop on here and say hello to everyone!!! I weighed this morning and I am down 1lb from yesterday....gooo me!!! thats a total of 3.4 since I started this plan on Tuesday....Ill take it!!!! Everybody is doing sooo great!
Taz that is great about your tummy tuck....I wish I could do that but honestly I can't afford it and after my divorce my credit is so bad I can't go that route either . Let me know how your consult was...one of my very best friends had it done a couple of years ago and she never regrets a moment of it and looks great!!!
Well I hope that everyone is having a great day...good luck to all...I love coming here and reading everyones result
and BTW MsCas....you are looking great!! I looked at your pics on your update and it you are doing awesome...keep it up!!!!!

**mscasanova** · February 4th, 2010, 01:47 PM

Aww thanks Tosh!

Good morning everyone. Im up and at'em even tho Id rather be in bed. LOL Im not weighing myself until Sunday bc TOM here! That and I want to be surprised. Im sure hubby will when he tells me what it is Ill be sure to let you guys know. He's doing great!

**scsemperfi** · February 4th, 2010, 03:39 PM

Actually Taz I am almost at TOM. I didn't really think about that. Bloating is pretty much my only symptom at that time too. I did lose another pound this morning so I was happy about that. Hopefully after TOM goes away everything will start to show. Thanks Hun!

**Jenpuma** · February 4th, 2010, 06:55 PM

So I went to my two week dr.'s appt today and weighed 194.2 I was shocked. I lost more weight this week then I did before.I'm so happy to see everyone is doing well and losing on this.I was skeptical at first because I researched it and they said it was just a fad diet but I trusted in Taz and her dr. I am soo glad I did. Have a great evening everybody!!!

Thanx

ur doing great we r down about the same amount of weight lol! I'm really crossing my fingers my insurance will pay for my tummy tuck, the only reason my dr is considering it because I have a huge hernia in my stomach and have to go in for major surgery and since I had 8 stomach surgeries In the last two years my stomach looks horrible' they have to reopen me up all the way down my stomach because of all the scar tissue n adhesions! They also have to make me a totally new belly button so yes it's making me so scared to think about going thro all this! So the dr Is going to see if he can get the insurance to pay for it all! I will for sure let u no how it goes and if I'm able to get itdone I will post before n after pics!!! That will b a great feeling not having to see tons of sunk in scars all over my stomach! Taz

That darn Tom messes everything up for us! I'm 2 days late for mine and I feel soooo fat and bloated as ever! I bet the scale will b up for me tommorow cause I haven't been able to get much water down today that's how bloated I feel! Just hang In there a pound loss is goood! We will get there for sure! I got me some grapefruit juice today and I love it sooo much I just got the great value walmart brand no added sugar and I think iwill do the juice a week then switch back and forth. Cause sometimes I'm just in a hurry and don't have time to eat the grapefruit so juice is for sure faster

hope u have a loss tommoriw! Goood luck
