Hey ladies. How's it going so far?

What the heck is the 17 day diet?

I'm still trying to adjust the guidelines for BFing for myself. I have followed it for the last few days with a couple of additions. I'm feeling great, but no weight loss yet. I also may or may not have completely ignored it last night since my dad made homemade ribs for the 4th.

It's a diet that does 4 cycles of 17 days each. It's a rapid weight loss program. The first cycle is the strictest. It limits your sugar, carbs, and fat intake. The 2nd cycle lets you add more things in, as does the third and fourth. When you reach your goal weight you stop no matter where in the diet you are.

Well, it's not recommended for pregnant or nursing moms, fyi. I'm still nursing, so I've had to alter it some.

Um yum!!!

It's hard to say if adding the extra calories has helped yet. I'll find out when I work on Thursday.  I hope it has!

They were yum, although they did make me sick. Lesson learned. 

I am being very cautious because of what happened to you when you cut out so many calories. I've already had supply issues due to stress, and I definitely don't want to aggravate that any further. Once we hit 12mos and start introducing cow's milk, I won't be as concerned about it, because I have a feeling he's going to self wean pretty soon after that anyways. So I only have a month or so left. (Yikes!)

I started today. Man am I hungry!!! I think it's psychological. I'm looking forward to grilled tilipia and aspearagus tonight. My DH is going along with the plan with me, which means my 15 yr old is pissed because he won't eat any veggies. Oh well, he's a big boy and can add stuff for himself. Good luck losing!

Good luck you two! The hunger gets better.

Last week went good but the weekend and today didn't. I am getting ready to get my food around for tomorrow and I will be following the guidelines.

I had never heard of this until diet I was being a dirty lurker on this board yesterday. I bought the book today, and I'm going to start Monday!! I am hoping to lose about 16lbs.
