I'm back to it. I started yesterday and I'm hopeful I can stick with it this time!

Hi Everyone! I'm on day 6 today and have really felt a renewed sense of motivation today. I've eaten well got in all my water and 2 glasses of green tea. I made buffalo chicken tenders for dinner tonight with a yogurt blue cheese dressing (for 35 calories per 2 tablespoons!) and it was quite good! It's nice to find food…

Way to go, Leslie, for sticking with it! You can do it and you're so close to the end of cycle 1!

Good Morning All! I have made Monday my weigh in day (even though I started on Wednesday). I fell off the wagon on Saturday night a bit but got right back on Sunday morning. Because of that, I am going to call today day 5 instead of 6. Down 2.8 pounds since I started. The weight is not coming off as quickly as I might have…

Mshanson, this is fantastic! You should definitely reach your goal weight for cycle 1 without any problems! :) I am starting day 3 and am down 2 pounds so I'm hoping to see those number continue to drop at a good pace.

Hi everyone! I'm on day two and have really struggled today. I am craving sugar so I am trying to stay out of the kitchen/break room! :) I am hoping the cravings die down quickly!

Good morning all and Happy New Year! Today is my day 1. SW: 173.6 GW (cycle 1): 167

Hello! I'm 25, married and work in consulting - a true desk job. I've got approximately 30 pounds to lose. I have not tried the 17DD before but heard some coworkers talking about it. I bought the book and planned to start my day 1 on Wednesday. I'm so glad you created this group. I'm looking forward to getting the year…

Weigh in! Woo! I've lost 2.8 pounds since last weigh in! It feels good to see the pounds coming off and the measurements getting smaller. Although, I wish my hips would lose a few inches too. Anybody have a suggestion to help that problem area along?

Don't get too discouraged. Way to go on the inch lost! I know that has to feel great! :)

Hi everyone! I hope you all are having a great week! I won't be able to weigh in tomorrow because I will be up before dawn and out the door for an interview (fingers crossed!!). I weighed in today though and am so excited about my results. Since my visit to the doctor last Thursday, I have lost 2.2 pounds!!! woooo! :) That…

Its ok! We all have those days! Just jump back on the wagon. You are doing such a great job that an occasional day like that won't hurt your weight loss goal. I hope yesterday and today are better for you! :)

Thanks MaryBeth! I'm more relieved than anything to know there is something wrong and to be able to treat it. I just needed to vent...

So I haven't done a very good job at logging in this week and I missed the weigh in yesterday. I lost another pound since last Thursday. I know the scale is moving in the right direction but it is discouraging that taking the weight off is so difficult for me. That's a total of 3 pounds during phase 1. Anyway, I have had…

Whew! Level 1 Day 4- Done!!! It feels so good to say that and I'm really happy I did it but boy was it like pulling teeth to make myself get up and do it!

So for my first week with the shred I got 3 workouts in... not great I know. I am going to do level 1 day 4 tomorrow and see if I feel any better about it or if it is just as awful. My goal is to get at least 5 days in this week. I will definitely try to do more though! If I don't feel like I'm ready, I might have to do a…

I made a really strong effort this week and lost 2.3 pounds. I even made dinner for my fiance last night (shrimp, salad, and broccoli) By 9 we were both so hungry that I gave in and had a cheeseburger at mcdonalds... it was so good though! :) And I honestly didn't care last night because I was feeling like the work and…

Thanks for the encouragement! :)

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm still in phase 1... about a week into it. I did take my measurements when I started SBD and the Shred on Sunday but I have decided to wait until this coming Sunday to take measurements again. That way I will give it a full week and we'll see where I am. I'll post if I have any difference…

Is anyone else doing South Beach in addition to 30 Day Shred? I weighed in today and I have only lost 1 pound. I know that sounds silly but I was expecting better results since I lost close to 10 pounds in the first 2 weeks of SBD when I did it last year. I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this as well? I…

Way to go! I have to do the same thing sometimes... just bite the bullet and do it!

Weighed in this morning and I'm down 1 pound... I don't know why I feel disappointed... I have only been at it for 4 full days and this will be day 5. I guess I was hoping for better results. Oh well.

I got home from work so late last night that I ended up not completing my third day and I literally just fell into bed. I am going to complete day 3 level 1 tonight. I hope I can feel a difference in my strength and stamina!

byhisgrace, I'm sorry to hear that yesterday was so rough. Hang in there though! I think it's wonderful that your hubby is being so supportive and helpful when it comes to eating healthy. I know you will be glad that you stuck with this and didn't just give up on it. I hope today and tomorrow are better days for you!

Marybethbeech, I am also under my calorie goal for the day when I plug my food intake into the food diary here. I'm not really paying attention to the calories though. I figure if I'm full and I'm getting my needed nutrients then its fine for 2 weeks while we are in phase 1. The other thing that eases my mind about that is…

Pinkpoole- Thanks for the towel tip! I will give that a try tomorrow! :)

I have just completed my second day on level 1. I was not as sore as I was expecting to be... it makes me think I didn't try hard enough? But I don't know how I could have pushed any more. I completed day 2 today and had a really hard time getting through it. I also did 30 minutes on the elliptical today about an hour…

Today was day 2 on phase 1. All in all I'm feeling pretty good about things but dinner tonight was extremely disappointing... that's what makes it really difficult to stay on a diet. I made the turkey meatloaf with beans and mushrooms. It wasn't bad but it was so-so I thought. What made it more disappointing was the amount…

I started phase 1 today and it went well! My starting weight is 161.1. I'm hopeful that the numbers will begin moving in the right direction by Thursday! I also started 30 Day Shred today. I barely finished it and thought I was going to die! Well here's to a good week everyone!

I just finished level 1 day 1. OMG I think I might throw up, or die, or maybe both. I barely got through it and I hurt already. I hope the pain isn't awful tomorrow!
