hi kim i'M ALSO A NURSE AND JUST STARTED THIS DIET THIS WEEK ON DAY 3 HAVEN'T WEIGHTED MYSELF YET.i WOULD LIKE TO LOSE 40 LBS. i HAVEN'T STARTED THE EXCERCISE PART YET AS MY DVD NOT WORKING. wOULD LIKE TO BE INVOLVED IN GROUP FOR SUPPORT.

I spoke with a patient's family member today and we got on the subject of the "17 Day Diet." The family member told me she started her second cycle this week of the diet, or should I say "challenge," and that she has lost 16 pounds. Iwas shocked because she was in her early 30s and approximately 180 pounds. I wouldn't have expected her to have lost that much already.

 I received my book and CD yesturday and plan to start on Sunday. I am even more psyched about starting this after speaking with my patient's family member because I weigh 250 pounds. I'm thinking is she can loose 16 pounds at weighing in at about 180 pounds...imagine how much I'll have lost when I start my second cycle. I am just so excited to start a new life and to not lye in bed all day on my days off because of lack of energy, to go hicking on the this summer with my son in Virginia and mostly...to have men turn theri heads and look at me as I walk by and not turn away from me!!! I can do this and I'm going to do this for no one but me so that I can fall in love with ME again! Best of luck to all! And remember my siganture quote before skipping that workout or picking up that fastfood..."a single decision can build your dreams or destroy them."
