Ladies you are all doing really well. Its great to have this support.
I am on day 14 of C1, looking forward to cycle 2.
Yesterday I planned to have protein powder and yoghurt for meal 6 and pre-journalled it BUT instead had a bowl of potatoes and spoonful of nutella. Not good, but I'll just keep going, its not the end of the world.
Still waiting on TOM - he is a bit late. Thought he was coming but false alarm. I am 45 so my cycle could be be going from a perfect 28 day cycle which I constantly had to 35 days or more?

how did you get you food log to come up by meals and not breakfast lunch and dinner

Today was a tough one..

I'm new to this diet and this site, so be patient with my silly posts!

I'm on D2C1 and I'm having a hard time giving up my carbs! I'm having the hardest time at night. And I've noticed (as has my husband) that I'm super grumpy.

Any advice/encouraging words??

Thanks!

It will get better.....promise......it will take a few days though. Your body and your mind are in detox. I too LOVED carbs.......and the longer I do this, the easier it is.........just make sure to stay as *clean* as possible with your foods. Also shirataki noodles have helped me through a few rough days. Welcome to the group!!! they are the BEST! Good luck!

You go to SETTINGS, then DIARY SETTINGS and change to what you want.

I totally agree with Dyanna! There is no denying it can be tough the first few days (or more) but it DOES get better and you will feel really good and 'detoxed'. Do try to stick with the plan as best you can - of course we are all human and have little slips so don't beat yourself up over that either. The longer you can stick to the low carb over the first 17 days the better, you'll lose those cravings and habits.

For me, I had about 3 'false starts' before I committed to doing it this week. I found that I had to be sure to get both fruit servings and lots of veg. and protein throughout the day as the book recommends or I got too hungry and went looking for the bread, crackers, chips! Also be sure to eat your healty fats. Only 17 days then you introduce some carbs from grains etc. again so you'll have more variety before you know it!

Sounds like everyone had a decent week! Keep up the great work! It absolutely gets better. My first two weeks back in January, I was super tired and had crazy headaches, but after seeing my massage therapist, the headaches went away and the extreme tiredness did as well. Today is a good day for me...3 months ago, I set a goal to meet by June 24 based on the rate I was losing at then, and today I hit that goal 9 days early! So happy! I've now lost a total of 54.6 lbs since starting the 17dd in Jan.

Congrats. This is very inspiring. I'm definitely struggling today - feeling week and not sure I can do my normal workouts at all. So, your success story couldn't come at a better time - since we are heading into the weekend.

Thanks!! If you're feeling to weak to any activity, just take a rest day. You gotta take care of yourself. Burning yourself out can lead to injuries or even frustration and failure. Do what you can!

So week 1 is turning out to be quite a fail for me!! Since I have cheated nearly every day the last few days I am starting back at day 1 today. I need to do this!!!!

Don't feel bad!!!! I did the same thing...for at least 3 weeks. Just think you did *cheat* but probably still ate healthier than you had been doing, and you've logged your food (for me that is HUGE! I always found it tough to food journal but once I joined MFP I have done it every day since the beginning of April. That was my first goal...log. Didn't even worry about what I ate at first). This is my first week really sticking closely to the diet plan. Still had a few things not allowed but I'd say 90% true to the food list. Plus, you're healing from an injury.

Keep at it! I know you can do it!

Thanks!! You're right!! It is still WAY healthier than I have been eating plus I have been way more ACTIVE than I normally am. Not necessarily hradcore gym workout but just being active and moving more. And logging is a definite start. I've never done this before. Thanks for the support ladies!!!
