I thought I would share a recent picture of myself to compare from when I first started the 17 DD. It has been a slow loss for me however its been a 30 lb loss so it's all good. Day 2 of cycle 1 and I'm pumped to get going and start getting the rest of this weight off. Weighing in tomorrow morning.

Good morning everyone, Well it's 9 months later since I first started the 17 DD and I'm back on cycle 1 as of today. I maintained my 30 lb loss throught the summer but now it's time to get those last 20 lbs off. I'm really hoping cycle 1 will be far more forgiving than my first go around. When I first started the 17 DD my weight loss was extremely slow compared to others, I...

This weekend was a big oops for me, not that i cheated, in the contrary, if anything it just goes to show you how important it is to drink the water, green tea and have your fruit. It was a busy weekend for me and all my meals where correct however not drinking my water and green tea and of course not having my fruit actually set me back 2 lbs ( yikes ) and of...

Good morning everyone,   Yesterday a very good friend of mine met me for lunch and we decided to go to the mall and walk around, in the past I usually avoided malls because most of my shopping was done in specialty stores like Penningtons or Lane Bryant however I found myself admiring all the spring cloths in stores I would only dream off. My girlfriend started taking me into some of these stores and convinced...

I try to keep the Dr's blog for moments of support and positive comments, however, I'm really not feeling positive and supportive so I hope you all don't mind me sharing my thoughts with you this way. I guess what I'm trying to say in a nut shell is I'm getting really discouraged ( trying really hard not to be ) I don't want to share this with my husband cause he is doing so good...

Good morning everyone, hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Day 34 and I started cycle 2, I no, the book says after 17 days to move on but the first 17 days I made a few errors and did things incorrectly and felt that I needed to repeat it, right or wrong either way thats what I did hoping to get a better start before moving on to cycle 2. So in 34 days on...

My daughter called me yesterday to see how my day was going and to see how I was doing on the diet. Well this week was a trying week for me, I had alot going on and I guess yesterday was just a bad day for me. At times I find the scale will dictate on whether its a good day or not so good. I really don't mean it to but it happens. As I was explaining...

Hope everyone is doing well this week, I've been trying not to weigh myself everyday but this morning I just couldn't resist and was very happy with the results 2.5 lbs this week so far, Ya Vickie !!! making it a total of 12.5 lbs. Only 7.5 more to go to reach my next target ( 10 lbs at a time ) seems so much easier to achieve.
