I agree, it's just that guilt factor, not used to eating the full fat anything, but all the diets really stress that and you have lost more weight on this than anyone, so I will follow your lead!  Thanks!

OMG how hard it would be to have kids with birthdays and temptations of pizza and all the stuff kids like.   We get in the habit of "licking the spoon" or just taking a little bite here and there when the food is lurking!

Under the circumstances I think you did great!  For me one little slice of pizza would have turned into MANY pieces!
 
You did good, way better than me!  and I feel like **** today because of it!

I read that you can switch cottage cheese for the tuna!  If you don't like the tuna why nt do that?
Good Idean about switching lunch and dinner, is that okay to do?  They are so particular about it being a 'chemical' thing, but you know what I think...it's just way less calories a day that we are used to.  Under 1000!

I bought a ruby red too and it was so good!  I ate half of it and felt so sorry for the other little half in the fridge so I ate that too, I hope it doesn't screw it up but I hated to waste it!   

We always have the reg. peanut butter too, So it was Skippy Crunchy on the toast for me!  PB is such a treat!

Well we're on our way!

Hi Sally!
Thanks for asking! My daughter said the tests went ok - she had managed to remember some of the revision, so that's good!!
Just revising English now, so must dash, but thanks for asking - hope your 3dd has gone well for you  & of course everyone else taking part - stay strong!!

I will be starting the 3 day diet again tomorrow, so I'll check in with you guys too.  Afraid to weigh myself after my big binge weekend, almost dreading tomorrow morning...but i told myself i would not feel guilty so I'm going to work on that.  Trading dinner for lunch sounds awesome!  I was always too full to eat all of that food for dinner.  Sounds like a good experiment.

LOL...Sinead that is so funny and so true about the house work!  My husband will call on his lunch hour and ask how I am and what I am doing and I will run to the sink and start loading the dishwasher and tell him I have been cleaning!!!  And then about a half hour before he gets home I will really get up and run around so that when he walks in the door the washer, the dryer, the dishwasher, and the vacuum will all be running at once!!!  I don't think I am fooling him, but he plays along anyways!

And since he will be home in about twenty minutes I am now behind on my schedule!  Hope everyone is having a good day with the 3dd!  Just wait till you have your ice cream tonight.....it feels like you are cheating!!

"See you" in the morning!

Okay now I'm starting to worry after looking everything up...

BREAKFAST Day 1

201 cals

9.1 fat

LUNCH Day 1

164 cals

1.7 fat

DINNER Day 1

843 cals

41.5 fat

WTF? That's with the 3oz of meat being tri tip and the ice cream being ben and jerry's with a whopping 480 cals and 32 fat.

Grand total= 1208 cals and 52.3 fat

BREAKFAST Day 2

207 cals
1.9 fat

LUNCH Day 2

294 cals
11.7 fat

DINNER

995 cals
56.7 fat

Grand total= 1496 cals and 70.3 fat

surely this can not be right! I'm going to sub out the full fat dogs and do reduced fat I think. cause how the hell can we lose on this? I mean I did it before and I did so I know it's possible but seriously HOW?

Breakfast Day 3

245 cals
11 fat

Lunch Day 3

143 cals
6.3 fat

Dinner Day 3

690 cals
19 fat

Grand total = 1078 cals 36.3 fat

so whadaya all think? should we switch to reduced fat ice cream for the 1 cup days and reduced fat hot dogs? that would take out a total of about 50 extra fat grams I think...I am so confused. I wish I never would have looked it up

I think your way is the way to go. LF and FF. Surely it's not chemical it's got to be just the restricted carbs and cals right?

I am so upset by my ice cream and dogs! for today I'm going to have a 1/2 cup Ben and Jerry's and a 1/2 LF ice cream. The rest of the week I'm stick with a 1/2 cup of the LF ice cream. And for the hot dogs I'm going to do 1 nathan's original (I already bought the fckers and they are so good, I'll just give the rest to my son) and then 1 Hebrew Nation reduced fat dog.

the ice cream will go from 240 cals and 16 grams of fat to 100 cals and 3.5 fat. and the dogs will go from 40 fat and 600 cals to 30 fat and 420 cals. I guess I could just chuck the nathan's and it would go down from 600 cals and 40 fat to 240 cals and 20 fat....hmmmmnnn

I found a site on the web and the calorie breakdown is as follows for the 3 day diet according to them: -
Day 1 656 cals
Day2 868 cals
Day 3 586 cals
the total for the three days is 2100 cals

Not to change the subject but...

Since a tin of tuna = 6 oz.
and we are allowed 1/2 C. which = 4oz.
I assumed I would have to remove 2 oz. from the can to get the 1/2 Cup.
WRONG!
I put my 1/2 C. measuring on my digital kitchen scale and after draining the water off the tuna I started putting it in the 1/2 cup and the entire can of tuna weighed 3 5/8 oz. and filled the 1/2 Cup!

So on day 1 we get the whole can of tuna, which is good news for those of us that love tuna but sorry to those of you that don't!  ( But yes, you can do cottage cheese instead!)

So now I feel that I shouldn't have bought the regular ice cream!  Waaaahhhh!

Oh well, 1/2 C. isn't too much and I couldn't find the light actually, just the bars and stuff but not  little cups of actual light ice cream!

p.s.   In the past I have eaten the Skinny Cow brand I agree, it is excellent!  Especially the Ice Cream Sandwiches!  But beware...I could see eating more than one!!!

p.p.s.    I was planning on eating the 97% Fat Free Hebrew National brand Hot Dogs anyway!  They' re only 50 calories each and I have always eaten them anyway. (only 1 pt. on Weight Watchers!)

I know I don't understand OMGIRL Charito made it 1000 a day too but on the site [I'll try and find it again] it was posted next to the 3DD we are doing.

I'm having toast instead of the crackers tomorrow cos I love my toast and it said on one sites you could do that!!!!

im going to go and count everything alone! Ill be back and give you the actual calories for the 3dd #1

I still think you're right but these are the web sites I got the info from.

Hi guys!

Wow! Look at all the work you've been doing trying to work out the fat & calories on the 3dd!! I am so impressed, but my brain is now hurting with all the confusion of how many calories that website says compared to how many omgirl & charito get it to!!!!

I'll be watching the board avidly to see what conclusion you come to on it!!

Sally - just checked on ebay for you, there are quite a few of those weight watcher points finder things you were after on ebay.co.uk you can either just search for 'weight watcher points finder' and they will come up (were about 12 auctions listed) or below are the item numbers you can put in the top right hand corner to bring a few of them up:

Item 330117856319 (auction ends 15th May) you get 07 handbook, tracker & points finder with that one)

Item 160113942634 (ends 15 May @ 15.59)

Item 130111644026 (I think this one ends on Wednesday, I forgot sorry!)

Hope that helps you hun!

Good luck to you all for day 2!

By the way it has to be Omgirl that's right in my opinion she has every fact and figure [I'm so impressed] and the sites don't break it down like that!
