About Me

Hi, my name is Lorie and I am from Toronto, Ontario, Canada...love love the doctors show...was watching Dr. Oz but my mom got me hooked on to these guys...

I am a certified wedding coordinator.  i am also destination certified.  I love all things wedding and even though not married in the technical aspect of it. 

I am going to do the 17 day diet for several reasons.  I want to be healthier, want to be able to work weddings with ease and have my boyfriend proud to have me on his arm.  Now he is proud of me and thinks i am beautiful but i see how people react when they see us. 

I am a very happy person and love life.  Life is way too short to worry about things...

been bad but getting back on track

well my worst fear came true...i did gain a lot of weight back when i took that temp job over a month ago.  now that i have my new job, i am not eating during the day other than at lunch which is bringing my weight back down.  i am walking a bit more and especially on the weekends... feels good to get back on track. putting that extra weight back on wasn't fun and...

Lorie....I hope your leg cramps are better.  My husband has that issue and takes a magnesium supplement which has helped some.  Everyone is different, so if you decide to try it, you should ask your doctor first, and read up about it online....so much info on the net!

Good luck getting back on board the 17dd.  I am cheering for you!  I am in day 5 of cycle 2.  Cycle 1 was hard for the first 6 days and then wala it became easier all of a sudden.  I am done with cravings now...at least until I baked the power cookies, I had no desire for sweets.  I ate one of those and all I can say is I will have to really be strict with not eating more than one every other day on this cycle 2....always something....lol, Diane

Hi Lori, how if the new job going? You have encouraged me so much for all the things you have going on in your life and you have been able to focus on YOU. Looks good on you girl. Keep it up. I have finally decided to get back on track once again. I have been half heartly doing the plan. Put on three lbs. in the last month. It would have been worse if I did not have the  knowledge of the plan though. I have lost 1.6 of those lbs. with only one day of cycle one under my belt. Finding that new energy again and loving it. I still have a few lbs. to go and I will get there. Keep blogging. I'm counting on you for support.

Hi Lorie,  I've tried requesting friendship with you a few times, but it failed.  Oh well, we can still keep in touch.  How has your progress been?

Thanks, Lorie. Glad to hear you are still losing. Yes, I had the same experience of slow weight loss in cycle 3, hence I'm back to cycle 1. Keep up the good work.
