hey, thanks so much for this ! I've tried in the past to lose weight. But, as I was uneducated, I always stopped at phase 2. This time counting cals even feels like a game. Though I'm still afraid to give up once I reach that darn wall.
Question : While at phase 2, should I work harder (longer workouts) or just keep going with the simple cal deficit ?
Thanks people, for your accomplishments as well as your good advice !

ultimately patience is king with weight loss. if you know you set a valid deficit goal, and you are doing the right kind of exercises for you, then there's no need to change it up.0 -

What a great read, thank you!
I just wrote a blog last night about my "future fears"... I'm on Day 6 of Cycle 2 of the 17 Day Diet, and I'm so fearful of "falling off" at some point. Right now I'm still honey-mooning and all is fabulous, but I know future challenges will lead me to some struggles.
Reading this will really help me to be able to reflect on where I'm at, where I've been, and where I want to be.
Thank you so much!

Thanks Banks. I'm definitely in stage 2 and I was beginning to get really frustrated. I have increased my exercise and my intensity. I believe that I am beginning to gain more muscle. I anxiously await the day that the scale starts to go back down again! On my fourth week, hoping to see some change in the next two. Alos, thanks for the other post about eating your exercise calories. That had been making me nervous but now I know that I am doing the right thing!0

Thank you for this very informative post...I just joined MFP and just started working with a personal trainer. I am still a little naive when it comes to caloric intake and exercise calories and all that. Looking forward to seeing some results with a realistic goal in mind! Thanks again!!!0
