Congrats! I remember towards the beginning of your journey. You've come so far. Thanks for sharing

Have you tried switching up your workouts? I like zig zag calories, I cycle through 1,300 (low) to 1,800 (high) and it seems to work. Another metabolism booster is to drink green tea in the morning and with meals, adding grapefruit to your diet, and researching other foods that increase your metabolism (i.e. oatmeal, fish,…

I watch my carbs but I have oatmeal or 1 cup of honey nut cheeros with almond milk for breakfast. If I must have carbs (bread, pasta) it's whole wheat and I have it at least 8 hours before I plan on going to bed and always before my workouts because it gives your body more time to burn off the carbs throughout the day.

Agreed, getting back on track tomorrow

I'm not doing Atkins but I'm on a low carb plan with the 17DD and sugar free gum really helps with cravings especially the dessert gum from Extra in Apple Pie and Mint Chocolate Chip. 20g or less a day is very rough. When can you start having the Atkins's advantage bars because I eat those now and they are delicious. They…

Nice tips especially calorie zig zagging, this definitely works! Thanks

I use green tea extract in the capsule form and use truvia to sweeten green tea when I'm drinking it and a little lemon on occasion.

Biggest challenge was starting the 17DD in December so I have to make it through the holidays and only having select things. Luckily I found a lot of recipes that ar low carb and 17DD cycle 1 friendly like revolution buns with no flour and low carb just using eggs, cream of tartar and cream cheese and these are like…

Orbit sugar free gum in bubble mint and extra dessert gums also suagr free has been a life saver. Whenever I get a craving I just pop in a slice of gum and it really helps. It comes a point when you just have to say no. Keep a little note in your purse or wallet at all times reminding you of all the goals you need to…

Diet soda can be considered negative water so just drink what you drank in soda and it shouldn't effect your weight loss. You do what works for you to improve your lifestyle and eating habits. For me it's better to chew a piece of gum with a few sugar alcohols versus eat that slice of cake, pie, or sushi roll.

Eat a meal before you go and drink a lot of water through the night. If they have fresh veggies go for it and lean meats. Im not sure if you're on any restricted diet but try to keep your portions small if you want to indulge. Then next morning have hot water and lemon and 8oz of water before eating breakfast.

Can we have a serving of each listed below or just pick two for the day before 2 p.m.? For example can I have a sweet potato, oatmeal, and chilli for dinner since it's from all of the groups or I have to choose between having a sweet potato or oatmeal for that day?

I'm currently on the 17 Day Diet by Dr. Mike Moreno and I've lost 11 pounds in 10 days so far by working out 30-45 minutes per day. Since you only have 7 pounds to lose I can see you doing the first 17 days and reaching your goal weight then you can proceed to the final cycle which is for life. The 17 Day Diet Plan Days 1…

she's been talking to other people but not her best friend? That's why I ruled that conclusion out

I think you have done everything in your power to reach out to her and now it's just a matter of waiting for her to come around. I would send her another message in a month if she still hasn't responded.It's no fun to hold grudges like that and give someone the silent treatment without letting you know what is wrong or…

I think you have done everything in your power to reach out to her and now it's just a matter of waiting for her to come around.

Don't ask don't tell. When it comes to fitness and weight loss when people want help they will ask. It's always better to PM than to post on profile or comment on statuses if you must say something. Through experience, I've found it best not to say anything.

I purchase all my supplements from puritanspride.com because they have great deals. I take a general multi vitamin, green tea extract, MSN (organic sulfur)

Thanks

So to be clear, the mini babybell and laughing cow cheese is ok in moderation for cycle one?

You look great and congratulations! I'm so happy for you and I can't wait to reach cycle 4. I'm on C1D3 and I'm down 4 pounds. I think if you continue to workout and eat well that you will maintain. You should be so proud of yourself and celebrate because this is truly an accomplishment. If you're on Facebook there is a…

You were able to lose weight by eating one Atkin's bar per day? I enjoy the chocolate peanut butter caramel one I think. What flavor do you use?

I enjoy Kroger Carbmaster yogurt in a variety of flavors. For one container it's 60 calories, 1.5 grams of fat, 4g carb, 3g sugar, and 8g protein. If you don't have Kroger in your city, Dannon light and fit has a low carb yogurt

I purchased them and sent them back because it wasn't worth it. Fire 60 is ok but I'd rather do Fire 55 and just do some other workouts. If you spend 120 dollars look into another workout program like Hip Hop Abs, Rockin Body, P90X, or Chalean Extreme. That's just my opinion.

Least favorite are the HIIT workouts except HIIT 15 because they're so tough. Favorite Fire 45, Fire 45EZ, Fire 30, & Fire 55.

Fire 55 today!

I've decided to start the 17 day diet today instead of fat smash.

How long is everyone staying on phase one? Is longer than 17 days alright?
