Can you tell me more about the 17 Day diet?

I saw it online and read a bit..but honeslty was confused! Putit into easy words for me!

Do you buy their foods? Or do you buy foods on your own? Is it expensive or hard to follow? What are the meals like?

I lost about 15 lbs within 6 weeks of Frank's passing.; And then i joined (Huh....rejoined!!) Weight Watchers and have lost another 15 lbs. ..a total of 30 in almost 7 months. (let's just say that he and I enjoyed travel and dining out at nice resturants!)

I am interested in the 7 day diet!

Hard question - I still feel I am at the point I don't know where to start. What is the 17 day diet?? Good luck with your weight loss.

before my wife pasted away i was at 220 lbs.after i lost 3o lbs.i also had my all my teeth pulled out so eat got a little hard .i do not recommend that but it works lol.scott

* Go through the house room by room, figure out where everything is, get rid of stuff to simplify (too much for one person). This is hard because there is lots that remind me of her.
* Do the house upgrades we deferred for the last two years while she was sick.
* Work, since I like the work and the friends are great.
* Yes, lose 20 pounds.
* Travel to see my grandkids, as much as possible.
* Go to sea on a sea test (work related).
* Travel (which she also wanted to do - bittersweet) but maybe to different places than we would have done together.
* Sail a lot.

In two years take stock.

Good for you. I'm on a diet too. I'm also starting my social life up(not dating) and working on finding a new church. I'm learning Spanish too and plan to be fluent in 15 months.

I'm reinventing myself and it's fun.

you are such an inspiration! I am selling the house, and moving back to where I lived as a single person, and trying to take a second stab at being single. I joined a church, too.

I'm older now, and more content with my own company, so i'm looking forward to seeing what life has in store (although with terror at times).
stay inspirational...love to read up on you!!

Trying to downsize every room in the house. It is hard and when he became sick we were just starting to get things in order around here, it seemed like.
I am still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up!
I want to learn Spanish, but afraid it would just set me up for failure.
After going through this journey, it makes one feel as if they need to do something with their life, other than just exist!
Good luck on your dieting!

1) Work on finding the ME I gave up for the WE without losing memories
2) Clean up clutter in house/place to make things easier for me
3) finish bathroom that was apart/ small things never finished in kitchen remodeled 2 yrs ago (was one thing w/hubby that drove me nuts)
4) Work part time, I like people I like working
5) TRY hard not to stress and worry so much

One thing I did was to take back some of the rooms, the study and the consultation room. That didn't really work out.

Getting new clothes was a more succesful attempt - oh and having a new routine of going into Oxford also helped.

I am dieting also; lost 5 lbs so far. I am also moving into a "seniors" apartment building next week, so I expect that will create some new opportunities for friendship.

I want to move to a new town and get a new job! I have a goal to be outta here by next September. I want to make sure I get to the right place with the right job and be ok with leaving this all behind. oh and losing a few pounds too would be great! Good luck to you! Lisa

I am learning to play the piano. Making jewelry full time. Trying to do at least three things everyday that make me feel positive about myself. Today it was laundry, walking and doing dishes. Although the 6 pieces of chocolate I just ate may have canceled out the walking. Ha!

I joined Curves last February because the winter was just too dark and difficult for me. I lost 14 lbs since then. I eat a lot healthier than I used to.....lots of stir fried veggies and fish, and other foods that are good for me. I joined a church about a year ago too. My blood pressure is normal now. I guess you could say I am healthier than I have been in years because I focus on taking good care of myself so my children do not have to face another loss for a long long time.

I still feel like I don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I keep starting that book, then procrastinate some more.

Still missing my compass. Trying to steer myself still sends me around and around in circles sometimes. It's my aweful sense of direction...I think..

Congratulations on your diet...you go girl. I can`t answer what I would do yet, still too brain dead.

I am selling the house he and I lived in for close to 20 years and am moving to the Portland, OR area. I was born there, but grew up in Iowa; since then, my younger daughter moved there, so I will be close to her. He put so much of himself into the house and yard, but now it's just me, and I rattle around here. It is a little scary, but not as scary as staying in this little town for the rest of my life.
