in Introduce Yourself
Hi, my name is Penny. I started the 17 Day Diet on June 4-2012.
It's going GREAT! I'm very happy with my results so far.

Down 19 lbs. so far; 29 days OP (on plan)

I was browsing the net looking for recipes and inspiration/results on the 17 DD and found this site. I would love new support & 17 DD buddies.

I don't know about all of you, but I'm really enjoying this plan. I'm sleeping better & I have so much more energy. My skin is looking better too.

I'm enjoying cooking again and getting creative in the kitchen.

Cycle 1 = 14.4 lbs.
Cycle 2 = ends 7-7-2012 = 4.6 lbs. so far

Hope you all the best on your journey to a healthier happier you!

Onwards & Downwards,
Penny

    Dr. Mike Moreno's 17 Day Diet. I got a copy of the book at my library and just started it. I need to look for a copy of the cookbook too. There are 4 - 17 day cycles to it. the first is the most restrictive to promote fast results and cleanse your system. I am on cycle one but am still getting enough calories and not feeling hungry. I am looking forward to the rest of the cycles!

    I am staring the 17 Day Diet today. I have 25 pounds to lose and hope I can get it off with this diet. I read the book and it does seem like something I can stick with and I like that I will not eat processed carbs on this diet. They are my weakness.

    Feel free to add me as a friend. I know I will need the support and motivation from others doing the same diet:)

    CU2008 did you end up doing the 17 Day diet? I am on day 8 and so far so good. 10 pounds down. I was wondering if you have had success with the plan?

    I'm anxious to have buddies too. I started 8 days ago I think now and although I have had some intense sugar cravings at times it has not been too bad and I have lost almost 10 pounds so far! Would love more ideas for cycle 1 breakfast if you have any out there.

    My doctor reccomended this diet to me and I plan on getting the book next week. I love seeing that it works on real people not just the ones who are paid to say so.

    I started cycle 3 today... my first cycle i did well... lost 15lbs...weighed in this am before starting cycle 3..and was only down one lb.. I didn't deviate from the food, but found I had less time to fit in my workout routine. I'm going to go through cycle 3 strong and hope for some kind of loss--but looking forward to restarting the cycles and really stick to them better and keep up with proper exercise to see what I could really get out of it....
    Feel free to add me, always nice to not be the only one doing this... might actually keep me motivated to come on here more often and check in...:)
    Also, bought one of the cookbooks recently.... some pretty good recipes..it doubles up on some of the ones in the book itself...but then adds quite a bit more, looking forward to trying some more different ones...

    Ah, i feel like everybody BUT me is losing weight on this! I've been on it for 7 days and I originally lost 2lbs the first 2 days and then i gained it back even though i was still following the diet to a T. I'm drinking the hot water in the morning, the 3 cups of green tea, 8-10 glasses of water a day and i am eating all fruit before 2. Any ideas of what I am doing wrong?! I work out 30-60 minutes a day, too so I'm so confused =/

    Just stick with it.. not sure why you wouldn't be seeing a loss.. I didn't follow it to a t...which I'm sure you don't particularly want to read, I noticed a weight loss after just a few days... Are you eating the right amount of fruits?? or types.. I'm not really sure, I guess the only thing would be to wait and see what happens at the end of the 17 days.. are you weighing first thing in the morning before taking anything in---I don't get an accurate weight if I weigh after I intake anything for the day.. I'm trying to think of all the little things that might cause you to not notice a difference.. I hope that you ill see something soon--it's tough to stay motivated when you're not seeing any changes!!

    I am on cycle 2 right now. I love it. I found this recipe for turkey stuffed peppers. It is amazing! When I was on cycle 1 I left out the rice and cheese.

    So I started today instead of waiting. So far it's pretty simple but I do have a little bit of a headache which I am told is common but goes away quickly. I charter my calories and I am not going to make the 1200 I am supposed to have today. I'm full though so I guess that's O.K. Let me know how you all are doing.

    I started day 7 of cycle 1 today and I am down 5 lbs. I have had a couple of small slip ups the last week but I am doing better. This was my first weekend which was challenging but I have almost made it!!
