Curious. Anyone follow SELF Magazine regime?

I love, love, love Fitness, Shape, and Self magazines. I've been a subscriber for a few years now. I really like a lot of their work out ideas, food recipes, and articles. One thing I was thinking about trying is the SELF "plan". They always have a new 4 - 8 week plan in their magazine (dedicated to lose 5-10 in that time frame). Most of the recipes seem easy to make and things that I like to eat. And the works outs seem pretty decent. I was curious if anyone outside the magazine testimonials had success?

I just took out a subscription with intentions of trying one of their regimes out, but alas, have not started yet.

When I first started trying to lose my baby weight, I did one of the Self plans, following it faithfully. I lost 10 lbs in about 6 weeks. I still use some of the recipies, they were awesome. (I'm now below my pre-baby weight, and trying to see if I can lose 5 more pounds to get to my law school weight.) There was a corn/veggie/black bean recipe and a stuffed acorn squash recipe that were so good!

I subscribe to self and I've tried some of their recipes. I tried the pizza pitas from the new plan. They were really tasty and a nice change. I signed up for the challenge on their site but it didn't seem very user friendly to me. I gave up looking into it after a few minutes.. I like logging my food here. I still love their articles! I really like Women's health and fitness magazine too but I'm not a subscriber. They're really motivating to read

I tried the Self site too. I think MFP is way better and I'd never leave. LOL
