Mycrazy8s its great to see your progress......your face is looking much thinner! You have been an inspiration to me which is why I'm back here on myfitnesspal. I need the accountability and to realize others are doing it and I can too!

I have to admit I didn't do the lemon water at all, the thought of it made me gag...but I will start doing it! Great set of reasons to start drinking the lemon water that you have put together!

I love the Jay Robb protein powder because not only does it taste good but it's made with Stevia. It can be a bit expensive in the stores but you can order it online and if you do it on an autoship program its free shipping and only costs $19 a bag plus tax.

Still on cycle 2 but don't really feel deprives anymore...nervous to go onto cycle 3 because I don't want to slow down on the weight loss. This week I'm committing to exercising a minimum of 4 times.

You should be very proud of yourself!

How is everyone doing? I'm finding that in cycle 2 my cravings are actually a bit more intense, I am a bit nervous to add more carbs back in cycle 3 but we will see what happens. Has anyone experienced this? I do know that days I don't get all my water in are worse.

Ok so I had this nice longer post typed up, hit the wrong key(s) and poof it was gone. Anyway, on C2D7 and doing ok. Started Geocaching with the hubby on Saturday and I'm hooked....hopefully this will make exercise more fun. If you don't know about Geocaching check it out at www.geocaching.com Great activity for kids and…

I'm just guessing here but I would think that if you went right back to cycle 1 then maybe you would end up being on too few calories too long? I guess if you are losing I would stick with cycle 2 and be more strict. I remember reading and watching videos on his sight that indicate the weight loss will slow down in cycle 2…

How very true!

Ok so it seems all the powers in the universe wanted me to cheat today but I didn't! It was a coworkers 21st birthday so we ended up with cake, donuts, cookies and milk, coffee cake etc. I had to tell myself that I had to make it through cycle 1 without cheating. Another lady at work and myself banded together and promised…

What plan did you follow?

I agree with those above about the sodium....she is taking in a lot. She must increase her water consumption and decrease sodium. Also a couple of other ideas. 1) Does she use a lot of Advil/ Ibuprofen? My doctor informed me that it messes with the (I think) our sodium/potasium pumps and makes us retain water. If she takes…

So basically you have lost 72 pounds since January?! Awesome.

That is awesome! I can't wait to hear how cycle 2 works for you.

[/quote]Try adding in some unsalted almonds, protein shakes, or cheese for extra snack calories. When I first started out, my first 2 weeks were rough with headaches and slight weakness as well, but it subsided. Just stick with it. I try to net 1600 calories every day. Obviously some days are harder to get there than…

Thanks for the tips....I got in my full 8 glasses today and feel a bit better....I have to force it down but I'm getting there!

I need a little help I'm on cycle 1 day 11 (down 11 pounds yay!) But I'm always eating under 1200 calories not because I'm trying but I'm just full (new feeling for me). I'm a bit worried about my metabolism slowing down and I have also had two days (last Friday and today) where I am very weak. Tried eating even 2 extra…

I need some advice as far as calorie numbers are concerned. I am on day 7 (thought it was 8 as I posted earlier), I have lost almost 10 pounds. However I am finding I am coming in around 800-1000 calories a day. I'm not hungry but I know that that low can't be good. I noticed others stating they are having trouble getting…

I'm anxious to have buddies too. I started 8 days ago I think now and although I have had some intense sugar cravings at times it has not been too bad and I have lost almost 10 pounds so far! Would love more ideas for cycle 1 breakfast if you have any out there.

CU2008 did you end up doing the 17 Day diet? I am on day 8 and so far so good. 10 pounds down. I was wondering if you have had success with the plan?
