yay tlussier! congrats! What is the 17 day diet? Did I miss a post somewhere? sorry! (I know I was missing for a few weeks lol)

I lost 2.4lbs this week. YAY!

GReat Loss!!! Congrats!!

No you didn't miss a post. The 17 Day Diet is a book by Dr. Mike Moreno. It has been all over daytime TV (The Doctors, Dr. Phil, etc) Anyway a couple of friends and I ordered it and in a nutshell it is 3 cycles of 17 days the first cycle is fairly strict~ I see it kind of as somewhat of a fast-no cabs except from fruit, lean turkey, chicken & fish and unlimited certain veggies ( I did cheat a couple times but always stayed in my daily cals:). The second cycle brings back some carbs and red meat and then the third cycle is a more lax version of the second and then on to maintaining. I realized that on my own with counting cals I kinda lived in the third cycle so I thought I would try it. But I have had my niece (5 yrs) and my nephew (2 yrs) for the past week so I am sure next week won't show as great of a number but oh well lol.

Hi all!! It's been pretty quiet on here! I weigh in on Wednesdays at home .. I lost 1.2 this week and made it past the first of my mini goals (to get below 175 pounds) which made me very happy. Congrats to everyone who posted and lost this week! Angela keep it up and WIN your work contest!!!! It's very early still but how are you comparing to the others so far? Or do they keep you in suspense until the end?

Great loss this week tlussier!! And thanks! I'm so relieved to finally be losing weight after five months of being stuck in the mid 180's. I'm 5' 6"1/2 .. I'd like to land in the low 140's and will evaluate how I feel about that goal when I get closer. About 4 years ago I weighed 140 and felt curvy still (feminine) and content. We'll see. I want a weight that's relatively easy to maintain and to feel comfortable. Looks like you're getting pretty close to your goal :happy:

A huge congrats to you moms who have worked so hard and are almost at your goals!!! The rest of us can't wait to say that! I'm half way there, 34 pounds lost, 29 to go. 9 of the ones left are "baby pounds", the rest I had to lose before getting pregnant, so I am really relieved to almost be done with the baby weight

I hope there is some money for you to win at the end of the contest Angela!!

Hi all,
I'm new on here, a SAHM mom of 3. I have a 6 year old daughter and a 3 year old son and a 9 month old. I finally managed to lose all baby weight of 1 & 2 when #2 was 18 months. Now I have to do it all over again and I feel exhausted most of the time trying to manage these kids. Of course #3 is not sleeping through the night. Yep, I have lots of excuses and I like to snack in the kitchen to make myself feel better. I have a few bad habits to break and plenty of weight to lose... about 30 lbs. So here's hoping I can do it with your support and encouragement. I lost about 5 lbs through I lost it at the Club but I have been really slacking (I lost that weight right at the beginning).
