Hello All!

I have had a membership for almost a year. Sadly, my weight slider has been stagnant. I am hoping to jumpstart things with the new 17 Day Diet. "Anybody can do anything for 17 days!"

    I just started it today. I was on it for 17 days in July and lost 10 pounds but then I went on vacation and decided to take a break from it and never started it back up when I got back.

    I have been doing this diet since July. I have lost a little over 35 pounds. If you can stick to you, you will see amazing results. You can send me friend request if you'd like. Good luck!

    I'm starting the 17 day diet this weekend! I'm anxious and a little scared. There's a big part of me worried that either I'll own it and not lose weight or I won't be able to stick to it and binge out of deprivation of the foods I love.

    Anyone out there that is having success with us, please add me! I need all the support I can get! Also, anyone else trying it for the first time, feel free to add me too!

    I agree, the 17 Day Diet is scary.

    But it promises a lot.

    On a side note, there are many here having success with simple clean eating and excersize. Maybe you could consider adding some of us as friends, you know.. to encourage you to general health and well being as opposed to 'jump starts, quick fixes, fads, and gimmicks.'

    Thank you for your comments everyone!!

    I have never tried a "fad" diet before because, I, like most of you here, am skeptical about the nutritional levels not being healthy for you and it just being a temporary fix for those without will power. However, this diet revolves around alternating cycles with differing foods and calorie intake, which I have read in almost every "diet" book, is conducive to losing weight. My goal here is to lose 40-50 pounds, reaching an optimal weight for my height, then maintain a healthy lifestyle there on out. I have mastered maintaining my weight within 5 pounds; however I need a boost to get the rest of this excess off.

    Here goes nothin'!
