    I'm ready to do this too, but I'm gonna have to lie about my starting weight. ;)
    Me too!

    This should be a great motivator. I have started pilates and yoga and need to change my diet.

    Looking forward to this challenge starting Saturday.

    some great advice i've come to believe recently from lots of reading...and researching....

    *Sprint intervals will produce 3x's as much metabolism increases in you (fat loss in general)...then will distance training.
    i.e. - sprint/jog fast for one min. rest one min. then repeat (do a total of like 9 sprints or so)...as opposed to running at a moderate pace for 30 minutes....*

    -you can do this w/ any cardio equipment....i.e. bike, elliptical, etc.-

    the reason this works is because it shocks your body more...and forces it to change. your body is not FORCED to change its composition...if you are doing something your body has become used to doing and is equipt to do for 30 minutes.

    the 'sprinting theory' sounds interesting!! Maybe I'll try that!

    Um... does anyone know how I can tighten up my thighs & belly...

    without losing the lovely bits I've gained in the boob n bum area?? ;)

    Had? So he no longer has it and now Subway just films him from the chest up to avoid exposing his ever expanding ass?

    :D There's an episode where Jared tells everyone he lost weight because of his Aides (rather than AIDS). There's lots of confusion and it's hilarious :D

    The Fat Smash Diet....I bought the book, but I keep thinking I'll never make it thru those first 9 days without coffee. Thanks for posting, I think I might give it a shot since you seem so happy with your results!

    I am very happy with it. You can really get creative (**edit-misspelled word) in the 2nd phase. I am on the fence about weighing myself. I have so much to loose but I know I am heading in the right direction.

    People have asked me if my grocery bill has increased since I am buying all this produce etc. And no my grocery bill has not increased but there is no horrible $4 snacks being bought, or sodas, or things like that. On the other end, there is no take out for lunch, take out for dinner, or stopping at the coffee shop or the bar after work. So I am saving tons of cash elsewhere too.

    I had said this to the people I work with, honestly I feel the best I have felt in years on this diet. So much natural energy.

    I'm game. However it will be quite the uphill battle for me:
