I added myself. I only measured my waist on Day 1. I need to do the others.

Hi everybody! I'll be doing L1D6 tonight! The first few days were horrible, but I'm not feeling sore anymore. I've been using 3lb weights and may switch to 5lbs for some exercises. Glad I saw this thread!

Duct tape your shoes to your feet. You can actually get them stuck in he thicker mud. Wear clothing that's light and snug. The mud will weight it down.

Awesome! I needed to see this today. I'm on day 5 and it gives me some motivation to continue.

Great job! There's a big difference in your pics!

Hi All! I haven't done them in a row, but I think on day 8 or 9 of Level 1. I've gotten pretty comfortable with it and plan to start Level 2 tonight. Nice to see others in the process too. I've seen people post really great results, so I'm trying to stick it out.

Damn! I'll be doing L1Day4 today. You make me want to stick with it. Thanks for sharing.

I'm at about 215 and find it doable. I've done it when I was larger. You can still modify moves or slow down. For example, I don't like to do butt kicks so I just do another cardio move during that time. Even if you can only do a few moves when you initially try it, you'll see improvement really quickly. I treat it like…

This makes me happy!!!

Hi All! I'm technically at the end of Cycle 1, but I'm extending it a few days since I had a major cheat this weekend. I've lost 9lbs, and although it's not my goal it's still a good number of pounds for 17 days. i did my first workout last night too- kickboxing.

Welp... I just had my first for real cheat. I was out late and hungry so I had some wings. I tried to just choose the option with the least carbs. :-/ I'm re-upping my groceries tomorrow, so I should be ok moving forward. What are you all eating for snacks? Not the yogurt or fruits... but other small things when you get…

I actually did wake up and FEEL thinner today :bigsmile: . My waist does seem to be a bit smaller in clothing too. Not a full size or anything, but there's a change.

Still at 213 today. :grumble: I'm hoping I'll see a bid drop. I'm putting the scale away until the end of the cycle. 4 more days!!! At this point, I've come so far that I feel like I may as well finish the cycle.

I think this diet is helping me get better about managing my hunger. Sometimes, since I can't have what I "want" I just let the hunger linger... and I'm learning that I won't die if I don't feed my hunger immediately. Who woulda thunk it?! :laugh: I am ready for this to be over though. less than a week left!

Anyone else seeing some fluctuations? SW: 12/29/12 220.6 01/02/13 215.2 01/05/13 212.4 01/08/13 211.6 01/09/13 213.6 <--- I went UP today :huh: . And of course it would be on weigh-in day. It might be yesterday's sodium intake. I had a packaged soup. IDK. I recorded the 213 since Wednesday's are my normal official weigh-in…

I think today is Day 11 for me. I'm sooooo over cycle 1 food. The things I'd do for some fresh bread with butter... :sad: But I'm sticking with it. :wink:

Bump! You ladies look great!

Great job! You look good!

I'm glad our group is growing. :smile:

Hi All! Since it's after midnight, I'm technically on day 11. So glad to just have one week of this. Yesterday I ate a LOT and had some extra fruit late. I was up a lb this morning. Overall, I'm still doing good though. I haven't been logging calories, and I don't plan to do so for these first 2 cycles either. With such…

mshanson- Thanks so much! You've been doing really well too! What's the workbook like? Why do you like it better?

Today I did curry chicken. I made the sauce by adding curry powder and plain greek yogurt. Pretty good. :)

Cycle 1, Day 8 SW: 220.6 CW: 212.4 GW: 208.0 8 pounds lost this week!!! I see you ladies are having big losses too! Great work! I definitely think I'm gonna hit my Cycle 1 goal. Sooooo looking forward to some real rice and more meat options though!!!

At goal weight, I plan to get a tattoo. I want some lotus flowers on my back/shoulder area.

Hi All! Just checking in... this is Day 7 for me! Glad to see all of you are doing well! Looking forward to seeing what my weight will be in the morning. I saw somewhere that the low calories for the first 17 days is ok since what you're eating should be nutrient-dense. Make sure you're eating lots of veggies though. I…

You ladies look great! :smile:

If you can get past the first few days, you've got it! The cravings will go away soon.

Hi all! I haven't been eating much since I've been super congested. It's hard to stuff your face when you have to breathe through you mouth. I'm on Day 6 and have lost 7 lbs so far. I'm hoping my appetite doesn't come back too crazy when I feel better. I guess the good side of being sick is I can't separate the 17 day diet…
