    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.

    @DIVAGETTINGFIT,

    I checked your diary for the last few days and the headaches could be coming from low calories, I know its easy to not feel hungry and over eat on this cycle but make sure you're aiming for at least 1000 to 1200 calories especially if you're exercising on a regular basis, this will make your weight loss stall after a few days. Try adding a Greek yogurt or bigger portions of protein.

    Day 1 for me.

    I am excited to be on this journey. I dont know what it is but I was not hungry for lunch today (I think its because TOM is on the way). I also had a starbucks iced coffee with a splash of cream (it was bought and brought by my co-worker).

    I am excited to start feeling and looking better :happy:

    Feel free to FR me, I would love the support :flowerforyou:

    ive had as low as 730, and as high as 1400(i had 3 coronas that night) im a workout junkie, and always have been, this week already ive burnt close to 1500 cals and its only wed. i ride my stationary bike every evening for 40-60min depending on how my leg\hip is feeling, at about 12mph.i eat a lot though, mainly vegies, chicken and eggs, lots of eggs, those are my go to snack, maybe its the calorie shock on the weekends? im NEVER good on saturdays, ever, and ive learned to not beat myself up over a few drinks with my hubby or girlfriends, it only makes me feel guilty. after tonights workout i was down another 1.2lbs..10.2 my diary is open to my friends if you wanna add me i dont mind you looking around..anything that says "cycle 1" next to it in my diary can be found in the link i posted a few pages back. :)

    I read today in Fitness magazine that the diet is good because it does promote healthier food choices but the real reason the diet works is because it's low calorie. So, it is possible for you to find success somewhere else. Best of luck to you!

    Hey Everyone!

    Hope all is going well.

    Just got home from school and have been super busy with it (that's why I am not posting as much).

    To my delight I am still on the diet! Today I broke it a little by having a cookie, but other than that I have been good :bigsmile: I did notice that the weight hasn't been coming off as quickly as it was at first.

    I need to remain focus during C2 and not to expect cycle 1 results.......I'm hoping that I can lose 5 pounds at this point. The dayum scale is not moving in the direction that I prefer

    Today is day 11 (I think) of Cycle 1! I am currently only 1 pound away from one of my mini goals (145)!

    Honestly, I think I could have exercised a lot more during Cycle 1. I have been eating right and haven't gained anything back, but the weight is coming off slooooow (which could be a good thing). I think the weight is coming off slow in my case because I haven't really "Exercised" this past week.

    Let me know how you guys are doing! I told a few of my friends about the diet and they are going to start next week Monday !

    12 Days down in this cycle for those who have started on the 1st day. But this question is for everyone how is the diet going? Finally managed to impress my fiance enough that he's on board :)

    I have been doing good, except for last night; I ordered a pizza :angry:

    When I weighed in this morning I was surprised that I didn't gain any weight :bigsmile: Tomorrow is my "official" weigh in day, which is also makes it two weeks since I been on this diet.

    I am hoping tomorrow to weigh 145...Which I think I am :happy: Loving this diet so far...I am so happy that I heard about it. I have been drinking A LOT more water than I used to.

    As long as you aren't staying off the (17 DD) horse!

    I am with you Toni...I made a "bad" choice this weekend too, but I am not going to let it affect me mentally. I just keep reminding myself that as long as I go forward I will never go back (which was 166lbs!).
