1RareJewel

Hi, everyone. I haven't been checking in everyday but I'm here. I weighed in Mon at 192.8 UGGGG! Today I was down to 188.2. Some of that I think was due to TOM going away but by the end of next week I should be really able to tell if this is working. I have cheated a few time. (major pigout last night and fries today at the flea market but I'm getting back on track). Have a great weekend!

I am on day 5 of Cycle 1. I went to the gym this morning and had absolutely no energy. Has anyone else experienced this?

I hope it is not too late to join. ...I just found your post. I started the 17 Day Diet on 10/24.... I am down 8lbs already! My goal for the end of the year 215 or less (16 lbs). I am committed to burning at least 2500 calories via exercise per week for the rest of the year.

Thanks for the link to the recipes. I get tired of chicken and broc every night.

Hi again all,

Today is my first official day...so far so good. I thought the lemon water would be nasty but it was actully pretty good on a cold morning! I have my meals planned out for the week so I really feel ready to go! My official starting weight is 173.5. My mini goal is to get down to 160 by the end of the month and hopefully 150 by the end of the year.

Thanks for reading!

@1rarejewel hey girl I checked your diary, try this for me the next few days and see if it helps you ease into cycle 2, drink at 96 oz of water every day with the lemon and add more protein to your lunch and dinner, also make sure you're doing at least the 17 mins in the morning and evening and see if that helps your loss.

HeyGrlHey

Hey Everyone!

Haven't been able to post last two days, been busy with family and school! I have been sticking to the diet and keeping to it! Have been out to two restaurants in the last past two days and have ordered healthy foods :]

Hope all is well with everyone else!

im not 100% positive but i believe i read somewhere that you dont HAVE to add all the carbs they say you can eat, the first time i did this i noticed as soon as i added in starchs, i quit losing, so i upped my workouts to 45min a day and just maintained, got sad, and quit the diet. gained it all back, and now ive restarted...even though cycle 2 i'll probly not eat too many carbs...ive got a year to lose 40lbs for health reasons, and it just needs to come off now...

Happy November 1st ladies!!!!

The vitamins are working... I do not eat breakfast before workouts I feel sluggish. I'm starting to do some of my workouts just before lunch and that helps to!!! I'm eating 1200 and sometimes close to it.

HeyGrlHey

Just got home and I have a TON of work to do :sad: Going to be busy until Sunday. Just have to keep reminding myself that after this week it is smooth sailing! :happy:

I did good for Halloween! Didn't over indulge on any sweets, just a few tiny lollipops :bigsmile: My progress is still good, although I am having trouble reading the scale cause of TOM. I am hoping by the end of Cycle 1 to weigh 144 (or less)

How is everyone doing? To be honest, I haven't been exercising as much because of all this school work! (does walking to my car and class to class count?)

I'm eating about 800-1000 calories a day. I workout after work at the end of the day around 5 pm, but that's what I've always done, even before the 17 day diet. I eat Greek yoghurt with fruit before 2 pm. I take a multi-vitamin every day.

Gonna try this diet, most likely using a lot of the vegetarian choices along with fish

and poultry. I have a goal to lose 5 pounds a month for the next 3 months.

Thanks for posting all of the legal foods! I appreciate your support very much:bigsmile:

See you all back here tomorrow :flowerforyou: best wishes all!!!

Today is day 3 for me (C1). I am down 4# as of this morning. I have been averaging about 1000 cals/day and am exercising regularly. (I'm doing a Turbo Fire/Chalean Extreme hybrid right now). I haven't had any energy issues with exercise but I'm still early in the game....I guess we'll see. The only "side effect" for me so far is a headache at the end of the day.

Divagettinfitin2011

Today C1D10. I have lost 8 lb. so far. I have not lost any weight since Sunday. I'm not sure if I am eating enough. Have not had any problems with headaches or tiredness.
