Lose 10 pounds in 21 days

[cjb0arder13]

I'm actually doing this to get me out of a plateau. I've lost 20 pounds since December, but the last month or so have been stuck...haven't lost any more. So I'm hoping this will kick my body back into gear as far as upping my metabolism, and then after the 3 weeks are up continue to eat healthy (with maybe one cheat day per week).

 

I haven't weighed myself yet, since it's only been 4 days...I will be weighing in on Sunday morning so I'll let you know how that goes. I can tell you that I FEEL thinner. I'm wearing my normal jeans today and I keep having to pull them up....they're falling off! So that's a good sign! Most importantly though...I just feel really good. I'm not falling asleep at my desk after lunch, and I wake up feeling really rested every morning. It's worth it just for that!

 

I still have 25 pounds to go before I get to my goal, so if this works I may do it for the 3 weeks, then take a month off (still eating healthy of course) then do it another 3 weeks..until I get to my goal!

 

Good luck to everyone else!

I've done that before. I lost 20 lbs in a month! However, I didn't do it the healthy way. I basically just ate eggs, meat, cheese etc. I looked great, but my body didn't feel healthy. I ended up gaining it back over a year, but that was just due to my eating habits!

Sweet! Congrats on the loss- I'm looking forward to it- 8 would be GREAT!

I can't remember the exact ones but they were Word files.

Unfortunately, I don't get to post much because I'm so stressed with my work that when I get here my mind is mush. Hopefully, in another two weeks or so, things will calm down. If not, I'll never get this wedding done.

You have a great website. All the info is so helpful.

Thanks will read the siggy every time so I don't forget. I have a major memory problem especially when I'm stressed.

All right girls, I'm checking in after week one! I weighed in yesterday, and had lost 2 pounds. Not a lot, but definitely much appreciated (especially after being stuck in plateau for a MONTH!). I'm sticking with it this week, but will be adding in cardio as well, so we'll see if that helps.

 

Still feeling really great! I'm taking a few liberties with the diet...like I'll be having strawberries for snack today instead of celery/tomatoes (I hate tomatoes and am really tired of celery, to be honest) but mostly I'm sticking straight to it.

 

I'm officially 18 pounds away from my goal weight, so even if I only lose another 4 or 5 pounds on this I will be SOOO much closer!

 

Did anyone else start this last week?

I'm always scared to try diets!  I'm afraid that my body isn't getting what it needs as far as vitamins, etc.  I know it sounds cliche to watch what you eat and exercise, but it really does seem to work

I'd love to be able to download this diet plan and this site is the only place I've been able to find a scan. Its kinda crazy that there aren't more pdfs of this out there. Would anyone be willing to share this via email?

10lb in 21 days!? did that actually work for anyone??

[danikat411]

A gal I work with lost not just 10 and she continued to lose for weeks after. While she followed the same principles. Of eating small meals every few hours
