I am STARVING !!! My body knows when it is feeding time because about 10 min prior my stomach feels like it is going to eat itself ! I am not giving into the cravings though. Staying strong !!!!

My stomach was growling about 10-15 min. before lunch as well!
I am feeling good surprisingly being my first day and all. I thought I might be lower on energy and stuff but just finished lunch and feel great. I had a kefir smoothie for breakfast and a chicken salad "unwich" (made chicken salad with greek yogurt), veggies w/ greek yogurt ranch, and grapes for lunch. So far feeling energized and excited!
drank my lemon water this morning, drinking water like crazy, had green tea with breakfast and lunch, and I am just about to have my second serving of fruit for my lunch "dessert".0 -
I'm doing well today. Lemon water and tea going down better. Not too many cravings yet. It helps that i keep my chocolate crave fed at night by making the chocolate yogurt concoction! At this point I'm still trying to get enough calories in. Made a delicious chicken with ped pepper and onion last night....looking forward to having it for lunch today!0

ugh, I will start this again tomorrow.0 -

Have you read the part in the book called "Special considerations" there is a chapter in there dedicated to a modified diet for PMS time! You should check it out!0 -
Slipped off the wagon a bit today. Woke up with a stinking headache and feeling sick :sick: Gave into a small egg and tomato wholemeal sandwich and a Pimms drink later on.
I'm still not able to get enough calories in, plus I'm exercising high impact too. Not sleeping very well either!!!:grumble:
I'm sure tomorrow will be a better day! I'm going to try and eat at least 1200 calories, by packing in more protein!
I'm going to weigh on Mondays, which means that I will be under pressure to eat well over the weekend, which is the most difficult part of the week.0 -
Hello,
Feeling fantabulous!! It is day 4 for me and going strong.
To all of you who have lost so much already well done :drinker:
To those who are having a difficult time period/headaches, just keep going keep going keep going.
Remember it is NOT about how many times you fall, BUT how many times you get up!!
All the best to all of you, let's make this a glorious awesome day :bigsmile:0 -
Morning all,
Hope you all have a great day today. This day 4 for me. I'm aiming to get to 1200calories today to see if I feel any better than I did in the previous 3 days. I'm still not sleeping unfortunately since I started this diet! Don't know why that is!
I will speak to you all later on when I've finished work and my Zumba exercise class.0 -
Well today is day two, so far so good. I will admit last night was a bit of a struggle as far as cravings. I wasn't hungry but couldn't stop thinking of sweets, ooey gooey cheesy things, or carbs. It wasn't terrible, though I did have some problems sleeping, I don't really know why. I also have a headache that comes and goes, but it's not that bad either.
I feel good today though overall, good energy, not feeling sluggish at all, still happy with what I can eat, etc.
Can't wait to start seeing results!0 -
Hey all !!!!... Feel much better today the headache has gone and not feeling as hungry....dreading the weekend though...it's always been my downfall 0

Hi all,
It's not a bad day, but still getting headaches!:grumble: I'm really happy I managed to get to 1100 calories today, but it was a real struggle peeps! I'm not sure if I can keep this up for another 13 days! I so want some sweets and chocolate. I'm really craving them!
I've upped my protein, so this is keeping me fuller for a lot longer. Like you all I want to start seeing results. Not sure if I should weigh in tomorrow and then again on Monday. What do you all think?????0 -
Day 5 over, and i feel fine. I lost 5 lbs and am so chuffed with myself. I managed a better calorie intake today. Thank you all for your continued support girls!0

Try vanilla flavored yogurt with a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder (like you bake with) and a packet of Truvia. I have the Hershey's Dark Cocoa Powder and mix it with Chobani Vanilla Yogurt. It's divine and cures my chocolate need. I'm even thinking about freezing the stuff just to see . . . . . .0 -
Getting discouraged - have not lost a single ounce in three days! I am sticking to the diet - no slip-ups. I am hoping that I will show a loss by tomorrow or Monday. Any one else having the same outcome? I also took my measurements - my waist is only two and a half inches smaller than my hips
My hips measure 35 inches which is ok - but my waist measures 32.5 ugh. 0 -

Peg just stick to it. What ever you do DO NOT give up. Sometimes the scale will be slow to show results, but then again it might show a BIG result BANG!! Just keep on going!!0 -
Day 6 is nearing its end here for me. But I am below 1000cals for the day. So I must get to eating now, even though I am not hungry in the least :indifferent: BUT I know I can't eat so little, it will just jeopardise me in the future. So off to the kitchen I go..... See ya all tomorrow. Hope you have a great day :flowerforyou:0

I thought day 6 would be really difficult, because it's the weekend, but it has actually been really easy. I probably haven't eaten enough, so will log my food now!
I will probably weigh on Monday again too! Twice a week should be ok shouldn't it??? Mon & Fri!0 -
I know right???? My food intake before this plan was very high calorie, so I did not eat big portions. But now, I have huge amounts of food and I don't reach my calories :grumble: I am LOVING it!!! Can't wait to be able to eat bananas...I grave the banana pancakes I've read here in the recipe section...mmmmmmmmmmmI thought day 6 would be really difficult, because it's the weekend, but it has actually been really easy.

I will pop back in later, now off to the kitchen I go!0 -
I'm so glad you are doing well Slim. Keep up the good work! I won't worry about the weekends again! I went out for a walk at a castle near to where I live. We stopped for a coffee in the grounds, and my partner said, " would you like a cake to go with your coffee" I said "No than you" I am so proud of myself !
I've been in the kitchen cooking for breakfast and dinner. Easy peasy! Like you slim I used to eat mega calories! Now I'm having difficulty eating to 1200 calories lolololol! How bizarre!
I'm really, really missing my bananas too. I normally have at least 1 a day! :grumble:
Hope you have a good Monday!0 -

I thought the same thing about the calories. I do not always eat 1200 or even 1000 but I'm really not hungry. I USED to eat close to 2000 and was always hungry. I think it is because we are eating real food and not processed anything and a lot of protein. Looking back I'm sure I'm getting a TON of nutrients now from my food where as I'm pretty sure I had nada before. This is the best diet plan I think I've ever tried.
I'm on day 8 and have a serious case of the lazies today. I don't think it's diet related though. For 1 it's over 105 degrees here and no one is doing a whole lot of anything here. I also think my thyroid is to blame and am going to make an appointment with dr this week to see if we can do something to help it along further. I'm losing weight and happy and all but just have days of major fatigue. I had them before starting 17 DD so I'm pretty sure it's not what I'm eating.0 -
Hi!
@Knitting, what about VitB deficiency? Or iron? But I am sure your doctor will be able to sort you out in no time! We are getting in loads more nutrients I agree.
I hadn't had another loss, but I am going strong and will jump on the scale again come Wednesday.
Today is Day8 and I feel wonderful
Hope you all have a great day.0 -

I was aware of the vitamin deficiencies going into this BUT, I've had 5 weeks now on prescription D, and weekly injections of B12 and Iron. I'm waiting on last week's blood work to come back and if the thyroid is still wonky and everything else has lined up then I'm going to ask him about it. I should know in a day or so.0 -
Well guys, it is day 7 for me and i'm feeling really good, I had one of those darn summer colds over the weekend but starting to feel much better and energized today. Tommorow is my weigh in, I am excited to see my scale results although the many NSV's I've encountered have been great. I have turned down many offers of fast food including Runza and Jimmy John's two of my favorites. I don't feel hungry all the time either. I just don't think about food, it's weird and hard to explain. I mean yeah I see a cookie and still think "man that looks good" but it is getting easier and easier to say no and walk away and not think about it. I am really having a hard time getting 1200 cals though, I will see how the weigh in goes tommorow and adjust accordingly. Also I am now addicted to Peach Kefir Smoothies for breakfast!
BTW fruit has never tasted so delicious to me, I don't know if it's because we are limited on it, but I look so forward to my fruit serving at breakfast, and I save my lunch serving for when i'm done with lunch- like it's my desserts. It tastes soooo good, I mean I liked fruit before but now it just tastes incredible! Can't wait to have pineapple in a different cycle!
Well hope you all are doing good, will let you know my weigh in results tommorow in the results thread!0 -
Good luck on your weigh in.
I think I am starting to get that summer cold.. ugh0 -
Im on day two and I freaking love this diet! I have done it before and got to my goal weight but this time I am doing all cycles and making it a lifestyle0

I am such a happy soul!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0

I can't get to 1200 either but I'm not hungry. I figure between all the fruits and veggies plus vitamins I'm taking it's probably OK.
Today the owner's of my company brought in Tiff's Cookies and sent us all an email. I have not craved anything before today (day 10) but I had a rough start and could have gone swimming in a pool of gravy - sausage gravy lol. I did not succumb to the cookies either but these are some amazing cookies. The thing I love about this diet is I have so much willpower. I think it's because I really don't feel deprived and the weight loss keeps me on track. I am so determined.0 -
Must say, I too feel fantastic! I do get my cals in - 1300 - 1400 per day. I am happy and bouncy :laugh:
Day 10 today and going strong!!
Have yourselves a GREAT one!!!0 -
Day 12 today and going strong!!! I am weighing in again on Monday and will post my results. How are you all doing?0
-
Day 63 and still going strong (not to mention almost 30 lbs gone!)
I am just loving this diet plan, it is so easy to stick to in my opinion. Like other's I have a difficult time reaching 1200 cals a day (don't on most days) I have vamped up my exercise and that seems to help me stay at a steady weight loss of about 2-2.5 lbs a week.
Happy Friday 0 -
Hey everyone, still going here. Will Weigh in on Wed. morning for my 2nd weigh in, but just wanted to tell everyone to have a good weekend and Stay strong!!! lol
Meals I have planned for this weekend are parmesan crusted chicken strips with greek ranch, Chicken Parmesan with zucchini noodles, and roasted red pepper and tomato soup.0
