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!0

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!0

good for you!!!! I hope my sister & I see that kind of results..:happy:0

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).0 -
I really don't want to weigh myself every day, but I just felt lighter when I woke up and I had to see!

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.0

great day all! After Phase 1 down 5.2 lbs!!!!! I have been on the Dukan Diet for 2 yrs off and on so I knew how P2 would go but not as easy after P1 and all that yummy fruit and grains. CAn i say I was in heaven. Well P 3 is coming and salivating over the almond butter toast I WILL have. LOL
Everyone is doin great!!0 -
i just did mine and had a total of 2050 and I was stuffed!! I thought for sure it would be tons more. Just goes to show we can eat healthy and not rack up calories with the "bad" stuf.0

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

Started Monday, didn't weigh myself til Tuesday...159. Wednesday...155 0

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.0

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.0 -
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.0

I'm so excited to report that I finally after a year broke the 170's barrier! TOM is still here and I just lost another pound! I've lost a total of 2.8 since Monday and I'm so excited about that!:laugh: :happy: :drinker: 0

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!0

Nice job Linda, can't wait to join you one Monday just got my book and read it cover to cover. It is so encouraging to hear the program is working! Keep up the awesome job!!!! 0

I started Monday, didnt weight it until Tuesday and Im down 3.4 pounds, and I didnt stick to the diet fully just its principles. I still had my coffee But what I did do is eat more good foods. No I didnt have anything bad, well maybe a pack of thinsations the other day (guilty as charge). I think I realized from all this is that your body really needs the vitamins rich food to function properly.And switching up from high protein to low fat to high fat is just something maybe everyone should incorperate in their diet. And be not be afraid to eat. Keep that fire up and roaring!
Im not a big fan of her recepies only because Im not a person who likes spicy foods but Im still trying to add some in but not as much.
Im guessing for 16.95 I bought something I already knew but just didnt have the actual knowledge to put it together that way.As for now Im gonna keep on moving forward still applying her techiques but in my style cause Im the one who has to stick with this.
Goodluck and congrats!0 -
Yay for you Linda! :happy: It is so wonderful to go into "new" territory! So happy for you! Im sure that provided a huge boost of motivation! Keep up the good work!0

Starting P3 W1 and up .2lbs since yesterday. Actually, Wednesday and Thursday no change at all then up .2 this a.m. That's ok, I'm still down 3lbs since starting on Monday! I read in the book that P2 is just preparing your body to release all the fat in P3 so I'm super excited that I will lose some today!
One problem......I have a lunch and wine tasting date with my SIL for my birthday. It was a groupon and this is the last weekend to use it. I am still going but a bit worried about the damage I will be doing. I plan on breakfast and dinner to be phase specific and lunch will just have to be a "freebie". Still have to live life and not stress out to much about it. Will just continue on Sunday as planned and on to the next week. If I have to add extra weeks than that is what I will do.
Good luck, everybody!0
