    My little sis just lost a lot of weight and she looks GREAT! I need to get back down to the size I used to be so I don't have to replace my whole wardrobe with bigger clothes.
  • Height- 5'3
    Weight- 178 lbs :(

    Hello Ladies,

    Soooooo many reasons why I need to do this . I can take one of the reasons listed above from each one of you. It all very much pertains to how I feel. The most important though..... Because it's time to do something "for me" . Wife, mommy, student, business woman- those are all of the hats I wear, but I'm going to need to fit into some cute jeans to match ") I'm glad that I will have a great support in you ladies. With that said- Let's get it !

    Lost some wt before MFP and my current wt. would normally be my goal wt.
    However, I've decided that a little lower (within a healthy BMI obviously) would help me be more active. (My activity levels are currently restricted.)

    Ugh - I am up for trying anything at this point! This is by far the most I have ever weighed outside of pregnancy.

    I bought this book a while ago and have never tried it. So far I've lost 10 lbs and I'm hoping to lose another 40-45lbs. I would love to try this and have support.

    OK. I am in. I just bought the book. A co-worker just started Phase 3 and she looks fantastic. I am hoping this group will help me stay disciplined through the full 17 days. I am anxious to get back to my pre-pregnancy / college / athletic shape form!

    Current Weight: 212 lbs
    Goal Weight: 185 lbs
    Height: 5'8
  • I bought the book and started today. This is the most I've weighed, other then pregnancies, and my clothes don't fit.
    I have tried to lose it over a year or more and I'm committed to using this 17 day diet to be successful and keep it off for good.

    Current weight: 158
    Goal weight: 140
    Height: 5'8"

    Ok, I lied! I haven't weighed myself in about 2-3 weeks and put down my previous weight. It was wrong, and if I'm going to do this challenge, I need to be hones. I'm still 5'6', but my weight is 149. This is my first day on the 17 Day Challenge, and I'm really excited. My goal weight is 130.

    Hi! I've tried low carb in the past & lost 10 lbs in no time & I felt wonderful! ...but lately the weight has been creeping back because I haven't been very faithful. I'm SO ready for a fresh start & am very thankful to find this group!

    As of yesterday:
    ~start weight was 198
    ~goal weight is 170
    ~height is 5'6

    I hope you all have MUCH success :flowerforyou:

    Ugh - I am up for trying anything at this point! This is by far the most I have ever weighed outside of pregnancy.

    I was 162 in June 2011

    And Yes same comment applies here regarding weight and pregnancy - in fact the morning before my first was born I weighed 148! LOL. He was a petite wee ba though. Today he's almost 6' and nothing petite about him!

    I haven't been under 140 in at least 18 years, as I've always stopped at this point before. Going to shift those last few pounds now though... and this 17 day thing appeals to me. I like the cycling of the different phases.
