Not nearly as impressive as the other pictures, but I've been doing the 17 Day Diet and finished the first round of all three cycles last week. I'm down about 6kg and have 14.5 to go.... Thought this would be a good place to share my modest success.

Good morning all! I’m taking a vacation day today and am using it to get a blood test (see if my thyroid hormone levels are where doc wants them to be), to work on my taxes and to do Passover cleaning. Fun, right?

(Almost) Shabbat Shalom from Jerusalem! Today was the Jerusalem Marathon and I just race-walked a 10K. It was lovely, though it annoys the crap out of everyone who, you know, isn't doing the marathon. Because we shut down a good chunk of the roads at the precise hour people want to do their shopping for Shabbat. But I had…

I tried that now and it seems to be working. But I lost a bunch of items I scanned in. :( Thanks for the suggestion though!

At the airport. Yeah, it's a bit snarky, but that was so over the top that a bit of snark is well deserved. Well done and totally feel your pain. I'm dreading seeing my stepmother for similar reasons.

I'm loving this thread. You guys are all amazing. Cannot wait to have some photos of my own. But, alas, I must wait. And diet. FML. :p

So, as an adjunct to my fitness plan, I decided I need to get my style and primping mojo back. Cause it is long long gone. So, after SNB this evening, I grabbed one of my friends and we went to Superpharm and I invested in probably insanely overpriced L’Oréal day and night facial creams. Because if I’m going to spend, I…

Wow! Well done!

Our work week started yesterday. I've been rocking and rolling for 36 hours already. :(

Question for those of you who have already dropped weight.... My #1 (and #2 and #3 etc) motivation for keeping myself on this diet is vanity. I want to buy nicer clothes. I would like to get more male attention. I would like to date more. I want to like how I look and have more confidence. (My doctor gives no *kitten* what…

I'm new to MFP but have been using LoseIt; just made the switch. I record the exercise BUT I don't add it to the food budget unless it's a huge workout (e.g. I run a 10K) and I need additional calories to get through it. Even then, I don't eat the entire value. I figure that the exercise it giving me a bit of an extra push…

Seeing "74" (as in 74 kg) in the number in the scale. Anything under 75. Even 74.9999. Am hoping to hit that in the next week or two.

Mazal tov on your birthday!

My niece asks me that all the time. I always respond that I already did that when I moved to Israel. Annoys the crap out of her. :p

5'3" and 166. I'm in! I want to get to 130. I'm doing the 17 day diet and am down about 11 lbs after Cycles 1 & 2, as well as a bunch of inches. I'm starting Cycle 3 today--was able to have a banana for my early AM snack. What excitement! I much prefer to cite everything in kilograms (I'm in Israel-metric system). The…

Jerusalem, Israel

Hi! I'm 47 and 34 days into the 17 day diet. I'm trying to get into shape (finally). I wish I could say I had noble goals, but honestly, I want to date more and buy a Naama Betzalel dress (local designer--I'm in Israel). Happy to make some more friends to keep me on the straight and narrow.
