Can you share some more info about the Fasting Mimicking diet? Is it a book?

I have some travel coming up, a European cruise in May and Hawaii in June. The two family weddings in August and September. I would like to lose 15#.

Did you follow any particular diet plan to reach your goals?

That sounds awesome!! Does it keep you motivated?

I'm jumping in, going to be 43 later this month. Need to lose 20#. We are headed to Hawaii in June, so that is BIG MOTIVATION!!!

Hopefull I’m not too late to join. SW: 162 GW: 142 F/42 Trying to get in shape for a Hawaii vacation in June. I have tried so many different diets and they all work for a feed weeks- seems like it’s best to just go back to calorie counting and good ole exercise. I work out with a trainer in a small group twice a week, but…

I did disc 4, and now I'm on to the second week. I just wasn't feeling it on Sunday or Monday, so I rode on the exercise bike as an alternative. Tonight I have my Ballet class, which I LOVE, then I will pick up with the Phase 2 discs tomorrow. I'm also still counting calories but I tend to overdo it and not track on the…

I'm blitzing through Phase 1, I did disc 2, and disc 3, then I will do disc 4 tonight. Next week, I will begin Phase 2. Here we go!

Here it is almost another year gone, and I didn't finish the program. I started yesterday with week 1, disc 1, the 30 minutes went surprisingly fast. Now just to keep up with the program. Planning on disc 2 tonight! Here's to success and counting calories and losing weight!

Great job! So I will probably start tomorrow because I had a few things come up. I could use some toning.

I've decided to do a 2nd go round, I didn't make it past Phase 2 the first time. Starting Monday Nov 2nd, anyone is free to join me, I can use all the motivation I can!

Starting Dukan Attack today, 3 days of protein yikes!

I can't find the group, is it active?

I'm in my first week, and it's going very well. Sugar is a huge vice of mine, so these first 2 weeks are tough. I think I had a headache the first couple days, because of the sugar withdrawl, but now I feel really good.

I'm in my first week, and it's going very well. Let me know if you find or start a group.

Way to go! It's great that you're in the same outfit, you can definitely tell the changes.

That is AWESOME!!! Good for you. I lost about 5# the first week, then just couldn't keep it up and gained most of it back :'( yes everyone can judge me now and say "Told You So" I have tried Walden Farms salad dressings, the ranch is a little thin, but for virtually no calories (I don't know how they do it) it tastes…

So I'm going to be honest, this week pretty much stinks. I am holding steady and not gaining, but I'm not losing either.

I survived my first weekend on this plan. I did gain 1#, but that is ok, as I did not completely follow this eating plan. I did manage to avoid any alcohol (which is tough for me on weekends) I did have some sparkling grape juice which helped to satisfy the need for a "treat" drink. Back on track today.

Thank you for your support! I just am using this to reduce my sugar/junky snack cravings. I feel refreshed and renewed and it's only been 4-1/2 days. I'm planning on moving to healthy meals tomorrow, still a smoothie or two a day, we'll see, it will all depend on how I feel and if I can gradually continue my weight loss.…

I used canned pumpkin, I think it's just pumpkin puree.

Finished day 4 yesterday, today is my last day of 3 smoothies for meals, and I'm glad! I do enjoy my snacks, this morning was low sodium turkey and 1/2 apple. This afternoon I'll probably have fiber cheese crackers and almonds (that is one of my favorite snacks in the afternoon, a great pick me up). I'm planning a nice pot…

Thanks, another thing (for when I'm eating less smoothies/more meals) is just to focus on the meal at hand. 3 meals, 2 snacks, that is all I am allowed each day. I think before I grazed and went over gradually, a little more here, a little more there, sure I can make it up and only have salad for dinner. Now I'm thinking…

After the first 5 days, I will be eating meals most of the time, just one or two smoothies a day(depending how I feel and my schedule), plus two snacks. I am surprised I like the green smoothies the best. They are the most filling and with some pear or lime juice they taste really good.

Day 3 in the books! Today is day 4 and I've learned a few things. Planning ahead (the night before) makes everything simple and easy for the next day. This way of eating has helped calm my obsession with food. I just have to plan my two 150 cal snacks (make sure they have the right cals/fiber/protein/sugar) and I'm good to…

So if anyone out there is interested how this is going, I've finished day 2 and am feeling very good here on day 3. Surprisingly I'm not sick of the smoothies yet, but I know I will be after 5 days. Since I'm going to need some more variety I've looked into some other recipe books. I requested a few cookbooks from my…

Thanks for the support. I didn't think of that. I am probably losing because of the raw aspect of the veggies and fruits. I'm not totally raw, as I do have 2 snacks a day of 150 cals (not a lot of restrictions on those, they just need to have 5 grams of fiber and 5 grams of protein and less than 10 grams of sugar).

The shakes only are meal replacement for the first 5 days. Then for the next 5, it's 2 shakes, 2 snacks and 1 meal. Then next 5, it's 1 shake, 2 snacks, 2 meals. I'm just trying to lose 5# in 15 days. Lately I've been on a roll of gaining to the point of 160# which is an all time high for me, my ultimate goal is 135. I'm…

I'm just a regular person who got the book at the library and am tracking it each day here.
