I too take them as hormone therapy. Yes I did speak to the doctors and they really won't committ. When I took it I noticed I slept so much better and through the night which is a big problem for me. But man oh man I am just starting to see my weight loss in my face and my body. The Compount Pharmacist gave me **** over the…

Excellent - thank you - bump:smile:

thasnk you

My daughter had great success. She found it easy to follow, there were no limits on the protein and veggies she could eat. She lost it quickly and has maintained for over a year. I on the other hand found it too restrictive I kept going off and going back on. I am a firm believer that we are all different and all have…

But one pound is one pound. You may only have one brick but a boatload of feathers that equal 1 pound but the both equal 1 pound it is the amount or volume that changes not the measurement

thanks

Selfish? Always amazes me how women view themselves. What is that? Low self esteem? What that anyone would think doing something to get them healthy regardless of what it is, working out or preparing meals. Sometimes I cannot believe how women feel about themselves....sad really sad.

She mentioned her "friends" so I think we can make the assumption that she knows what their food habits are. My sister was always thin now she is older she cannot eat what she use to and not gain weight. My husband use to say about a mutual friend people who can't lose weight are lazy, just put the fork down and step away…

I see a huge difference good job!

That is my life story. I talked my daughter who is 28 to do MFP. So I would do very low carb, very healthy eating and lose faster then her then go off and binge. She has lost 30 pounds since Christmas she only has 15 to go. She ate what she wanted. She made good choices but would have a kids meal from mcdonalds including…

Ok great thank you all for your input. Thanks I have what I need

Forget it

Sanity.....thank you

You are making the assumption I wanted them to get bigger that is not the case I wanted them to be toned not bigger. Not sure how many women actually want their backs and shoulders to get bigger. I am sure there are some but I guarantee you they are in the minority

Are you eating enough carbs?

Friends, aloohol and pizza when on such a restrictive eating plan is asking for trouble. The 17 Day Diet is so restrictive that it is almost impossible to go out with friends. I find it too dificult. This diet is extremely difficult to stick to. Check the sites every second post is "fell off the wagon", "cheated",…

I cut back on the alcohol for a few weeks. I figure when I get to my goal I can do that. If you have a few on the weekend and you lose during the week then you are maintaining and enjoying yourself. So I tend to drink less often. I also find it certainly reduces my resolve to not overdo it. It is difficult for me not to…

Well said. I am 54 and I have finally gotten it. No quick fixes, no magic pills or potions or food. The ouput has to be greater then the input. I have also finally accepted that this is now a way of life so I have to be able to live with it. That means for me instead of losing 5 pounds a week I lose 1 pount a week but am…

Started Cycle 1 Tuesday July 3rd I have around 40 pounds to lose. I weighed in today and down 6 pounds. Getting easier.

A little less energy but getting through it

Hi all day 2 of cycle 1 and finding the restrictions difficult not only to get calories to 1200 but also working out. I go to the gym and do 30 minutes on the Eliptical and around 20-25 minutes strength training. My daughter did this diet and lost 38 pounds in 2 cycles which is barely over 1 month and has kept it off. She…

I actually like the 95% fat free use it in caserolles, mix it with salsa, sometimes I misse it iwth garlic and dill , I like it. To each his own.

I did not think you were SHOUTING just desperate for help. Everyone who has lost weight and been succesful has posted that they just kept at it even through the plateaus. You have lost 28 pounds so you are doing something right. Take a breather you will get there. Some people were on plateaus for months and months. That is…

I remember years ago at a WW meeting the instructor said "it is not the 3 cookies you ate that are going to hurt you it is the bag you will eat because you ate the 3 cookies" Same applies here. You will do no more damage as of today. Whatever you gained and I bet you, there will be a pleasant surprise for you on Wednesday…

1 & 2 for me hug your body more but you look amazing in all of them

My 25 year old daughter did the diet and lost 30 pounds in around 8 weeks that is all she needed to lose. She kept if off but is now pregnant. She has not gained much weight though and is eating everything. I on the other hand have a difficult time when I cut out food. I found it too difficult to stick to. It will take me…

I have turbojam and turbofire. I know the moves are a little tricky but keep at it you will get it really quickly. I am 54 and I can do them. Turbofire is faster and more intense. I have had GREAT results with both. I find that with either workout within two weeks you will see a pretty nice difference. So keep it up.

You look amazing. You must be so proud of yourself. Again GREAT work....I know you said your befores are awful but it would be a great inspiration for those starting out their journey. Please share your secret. I am sure it is the same as all the successful people on this board have said.....LESS CALORIES IN....MORE…

Do whatever works for you. That is one thing I have learned. I like cooking on Sunday and making some ground turkey chilie, or cook up some chicken breast and use them in salads, wraps, etc. I also cook up either quinoa or barley and use that instead of rice or potatoes. Good luck, I know you are in the maintaining phase…
