Hiked about 5 miles!

L: salad, yogurt, and chicken veggie soup
S: apple

will eat another yogurt later

B: omelet with ground turkey, mushrooms, spinach, soy cheese (a cheat) and low carb ketchup; coffee
S: carbmaster yogurt and apple

S: apple

Day 14:

B: egg salad (there were HB eggs available, but now I'm obsessed with egg salad), apple, coffee
S: plain chobani yogurt with blueberries mixed in (and 1 packet Truvia)
L: chicken veggie soup and grapes
S: cottage cheese with probiotics and some oranges mixed in
D: salad with grilled chicken, cherry tomatoes, and ranch dressing.

I've been doing little "cheats" which I consider still low-carb but not true to the 17dd (like the egg salad and the ranch dressing). Also I've been doing 1 full fruit serving and then dividing the other into 2 (ie, blueberries in my yogurt and oranges in my cottage cheese).

Very much looking forward to cycle 2 and getting to at least eat some beans and oatmeal some days!

Day 17 (!!):

L: turkey burger with grilled onions/mushrooms/a little mayo in a lettuce wrap and a small salad
S: Dannon light 'n fit vanilla greek yogurt
D: grilled chicken and steamed green beans; more coffee

tomorrow i get to eat 2 starches!! i am a bit unprepared and need to go to the grocery store, so they will probably be raw oatmeal in yogurt and some edamame on my lunch salad (i found it in the cultural substitutions section).

also, tomorrow morning i weigh in, so i'll get to see how much weight i lost with cycle 1. i definitely can tell that my belly is getting smaller!

4 more lbs, for a total of 12 lbs lost during 1st cycle!

Day 19:

B: Dannon light 'n fit vanilla greek yogurt with 1/4 cup frozen blueberries and 100 calorie pack walnuts/almonds; coffee

S: 1/2 stawberry low-carb yogurt (it was gross), 1/2 cup cottage cheese
D: chicken veggie soup; coffee.

still may have a small salad if i feel hungry soon.

have found some recipes online for making mayonnaise with olive oil; thinking of trying one so i can make mayonnaise that's not cheating.

I made it thru an entire week. I also didn't binge over the weekend. I finally have had some success in clean eating.:D

I am down 3 pounds to 179.

I have not been following 17dd exactly but have been doing a lot of reading on low carb diets and am sorta doing my own little mix for now. i will probably keep posting here because i AM doing the every other day more carbs thing like on cycle 2 of the 17dd.

Sounds like you are doing great. I have noticed that I still tend to stick to what I am used to-eating less carbs. I am following 17 dd, but I still keep an eye on my carb intake. Its what works for me.

Day 25

B: egg salad and coffee
S: apple
L: tuna salad with gluten-free crackers (they taste like nothing but work adequately to get the tuna salad to my mouth); cottage cheese with orange slices
S: chobani low fat plain greek yogurt with 1 TBS coconut oil, truvia, and blueberries
D: spinach salad with grilled chicken and ranch dressing; 1 square dark chocolate for desert

Had blood tests that looked good! My total cholesterol was 160; LDL a little high (like 102) and HDL needs to improve (was 40). Triglycerides were like 80 or something. This was part of a free health screening; hoping to have these numbers rechecked in 3-6 months at my doc appt.

I feel like I veer a little bit more from the 17DD each day while still maintaining a low carb diet.

Bought an immersion blender and am looking forward to making some "healthy" mayonnaise (ie, olive oil based) today!

Oh, and down 2 more lbs!

Well, I've kind of fallen off the wagon as far as posting goes, but I have lost another pound! That makes 15 lbs gone for the month of October...not too shabby!

Started the 17DD today :) Did my grocery yesterday and prepared my chicken veggie soup. I'm all set for success!

Starting Weight: 194.5lbs
Goal Weight: 135lbs
Weight to Lose: 59.5lbs

I do allow myself minor cheats (like Skim milk & a tad of butter on my veggies).
