Day 16 - 6.5lbs down

I haven't written in a few days...I found that realistically I'll only update 1-2 times per week! But I'm still feeling great. The last time I wrote I was at 179lbs. Really the scale kept going up and down. It went back up to 180lbs, and today I weighed in at 178.5lbs. I feel that my body's slowly coming down to the weightloss. it just took that jump right after yellowstone.

Tomorrow is the last day I'll be on cycle 1 of the 17 day diet. Then I move to cycle 2. Basically I'll be adding in 2 "natural" starches. 1 for breakfast and 1 for lunch. I was hoping a slice of whole wheat bread would be 1 of those but it's not...it's more like oatmeal, brown rice, beans, etc...the other thing you add in on this cycle is more proteins like beef, pork, crab, shrimp etc. This will be good as well. In the activate cycle (2nd phase) you have to alternate 1 day from the 1st cycle with one of the activate days. I'm committed to sticking to this because it's the best I've felt in a LONG time...maybe 5 years?

I just took pictures to compare pre-17 day diet and after...and really the pictures don't look much different. But what's crazy is I feel much better in my clothes. I guess 6.5lbs isn't enough to see the difference yet...although people have been complimenting me. I'm guessing alot of the loss has been in my face and that's the reason people can tell.

Regarding my mood et, it's amazing what 6 lbs can do. I feel more confident and really believe I can do this. Ok, until the next post....
