I know that you don't have to count calories with this plan, but I recorded all of my food into MFP because I was curious. I ate 2,550 calories yesterday and woke up this morning and I was down 1.4 pounds! I'm sure that was water weight, but it is interesting that I've been eating 1500 - 1800 calories and my weight hasn't budged. The good news is that I feel satisfied and I'll be happy to eat this way forever if I can continue to see results like this!

    Thats great! I always believed eating more was the best approach. Eating more meaning more good foods!

    I beleived it too, but I was always afraid to continue to raise my calories! I'm almost upset that I haven't done this sooner!

    Can you believe that I forgot to weigh myself the first day of the diet? I did weigh myself this morning, 204.6. I'm always a little skeptical of the first few pounds I lose when on a diet because of the water weight thing. But if you'd been watching your calories and the scale wasn't budging and now is, that's exciting, Linda!

    I will not weigh every day (the scale is in my mom's rooms, and I don't like to go in there before she's up--and I like to weigh before I eat anything, so it won't work out to weigh everyday).

    I started yesterday & was curious to see if with the amount of food I ate yesterday if I actually lost weight. Down 1 lb. I have tried every diet possible. So far I'm feeling satisfied on this one. Hope it's true & I can lose the weight in 28 days. Good luck to everyone.

    I'm down 8.2 lbs since Monday's start. I have stuck 100% to the diet. The hardest part has been the caffeine and sugar withdrawal. I didnt realize how addicted to caffeine I was until day one about 10 am. I was like a zombie. I have drank 16 oz of coffee every morning for years, but I have drank about 40-60 oz of green tea per day which is loaded with caffeine. The headaches have finally subsided. I still feel tired and grumpy. Ugh.

    I have lost 120 lbs since 04/16/12. But I have not lost a pound since the beginning of january. I knew i had to shake up my metabolism. This diet/cleanse works! I have 80 more pounds to lose...no make that 71.8, now :)

    I started Monday and all was well, but weighed myself this morning (day 2 of Phase II- 173.5) and am actually up from Tuesday's weight (172.2). This is a total bummer, because Phase II sucks and a little encouragement that it's working would have been nice, but I'll stick with it and let you all know if anything changes.

    I was down 1.4 on day 2, but day three TOM arrived and I've stayed at the same weight. I'm hoping the scale will budge again when TOM goes away in a few days.

    Day 1 done. up 1 lb since yesterday, but TOM is near like today or tomorrow near. I hope that is the reason. Had a minor slipup today during snacks. ( those dang cravings!!) But back on track for lunch.

    My weight has been up and down since joining MFP - actually had broken even to what I was this weekend. I started the FMD on Monday and i have 4 days completed and this morning I was doen 7.5 pounds! WTH! I am truly shocked. When i was 30 (13 years ago) I went on WW and lost 6.5 in the first week but never replicated anything like it since - i'm already down 7.5 and dont "finalize" my week until Monday. Nothing has evern worked like this before for me. Very excited. I only want to lose 20 - I was 191.5 and if i could get to 170 it was awesome!
