  • Fitbit says that it doesn't log cycling, but a friend of mine said that it logged steps in her spin class. I have a little computer on my bike so I can manually log my bike rides in when I start them back up in the Spring. I like that it tells me how much sleep I am getting (I have a Fitbit One) because I have had sleep…
  • I got a FitBit last week. I am letting it log all of my exercising right now. But today I took 7,447 steps, climbed 19 flights of steps, and burned 2,110 calories. WOOP!
  • I finish cycle 1 today, so I will weigh in again tomorrow morning, but as of today I have lost 9.2 pounds on Cycle 1. I will get the book out and read about Cycle 2 again tonight and go shopping in the a.m.. I just got a new pair of Nike Cross Trainers today to wear walking and golfing (I have two artificial hips that were…

  • Oh dear. I was attacked by Chocolate Reisens today. They tackled me and pried my mouth open, and then jumped in. Aye yi yi. Luckily the rest of my day was ok food wise.
  • You could have had worse foods for your cheat (like the Chinese food that I had Monday night for Hubby's B-day) so don't beat yourself up. Today is a new day. I eat celery sticks and baby carrots for snacks when I am hungry. If that is too boring, dip them in a fat free salad dressing. They are low in calories and carbs.…
  • I did a sneak peak at my scale this morning, and unofficially (since I don't log my weight unitl Wednesday) I am down 7 pounds! Woop! I am on day 10 officially, but since Monday was a blow out, it is only 9 days of following the plan.

  • I am finding that I am not hungry and have trouble meeting my calorie minimum of 1200 and many days don't. I will sneak a peak tomorrow and see where I am at. I am on day 9. I know that the weight is sneaking off. :smile:

  • Yes, your body will adjust. When you don't drink enough water, your body hangs onto it. When you dirnk enough, you are helping get rid of the yuckies in your blood from losing fat. Your body will soon adjust. I drink at least 9 - 10 glasses of water a day plus the lemon juice in the a.m. and the two teas, so the equivalent…

  • Wow! 10 pounds in 6 days! Fantastic!!! I am down 5.4 in 4 days. Don't think that I will lose as much as you in 6 days, but I am so pleased with my results so far! My official WI day is Wednesday morning, so we will see then. I finished reading "The 17 Day Diet" book last night, and I really feel that this is an eating…

  • I too am having fantastic success. I have completed 3 days, and a peek at the scales has me down 5 pounds already! Woo hoo! That is definately motivation to keep me eating the foods in Cycle 1! I am not recording it as official yet since it is only 3 days, so my ticker does not reflect this yet. SW 183.4 CW 178.4 GW 140…
  • That is how you know that it is a good batch!! The glass bottled Coke or a Fountain Coke with the right mix will do that! I will TRY your suggestion though!
  • I am finding that today I am really missing my Coca Cola Classic! I will get through it but really craving one right now. I love the burn when it goes down your throat and makes your eyes water! :smile:
