11 day diet
I started my day in the morning - it's just that the morning of the first day I spaced weighing in so I weighed in - in the afternoon. Oh wait! I think you meant the meal times I listed. The 4 meals just need to be consumed in the same day, they can be done in any order. Like for breakfast this morning I had meal #2 of Day #3 and by the end of today I will have eaten all 4 of Day #3's meals .
Day #3
Meal #1: Turkey deli meat and/or ham slices
Meal #2 - 7:45 am: Bacon strips and/or pastrami slices
Meal #3: Cheese slices, skinless chicken breast, bowl of green veggies
Meal #4 - 11:15 am: Tuna salad and/or broiled sea bass
My dad lost an additional 2 lbs.
Dad's results:
Day #2: 4 lb loss
Day #3: 2 lb loss
Dad's Total Loss: 6 lbs
EDIT: I did 4 miles on my elliptical in 41 minutes. Then I played with my younger sister - using her as a weight on my legs to do leg lifts and then did airplane with her to get some reps in on my arms.

11 day diet
They give you 2 lists of food choices and you get to choose 7-15 items from each side. Then they use those items to generate a menu. I can list the foods for you if you want.
My exercise was 30 minutes of Wii Fit yesterday.
Also: I'm excited. Scale showed a 3.7 loss from yesterday!!!
My Results:
Day #1: 270.5
Day #2: 267.4 = 3.1 lb loss!
Day #3: 264.7 = 3.7 lb loss!
Total Loss So Far: 6.8 lbs

11 day diet
Thanks mcissel03, coorsd, & ketchuplover!
Today's been a good day. Several times today various foods have been tempting, but I've been able to stick to it, because when it comes down to it I'm only actually hungry at meal times. Sticking to specific times is making me realize how much I absentmindedly grazed on anything in sight before regardless of the time and mainly just because it was there.
Day #2
Meal #1 - 3:30 pm: Deli meat sandwich (2 slices of bread, deli meat of choice, lettuce, tomato)
Meal #2 - 7:30 am: Fresh fruit*
Meal #3 - 11:30 am: Fresh fruit*
Meal #4 - 6:00 pm (slightly early, but I'm singing from 6:30 on so it is as it is): Fresh fruit*
*dry fruit can be substituted in during one meal - watch sugar content of dried fruit
I'm liking this so far

11 day diet
My grandfather found it and lost weight using it so he suggested it to my father. My father tried it and lost 16 pounds over the first 11 days. [He's done a few cycles since then and his doctor has been impressed with the results.] After 11 days on the meal plan you take 2-3 days with your own meals and then start again with another 11 day meal plan. Every 11 day session you use a meal generator to choose up to 30 foods that the generator then uses to list the meal plan. My grandfather found it online: http://www.fatloss4idiots.com/?hop=itswyman
There is no calorie counting involved. Things to eat are preplanned - portions however are not: the rule is eat till you are satisfied, never stuffed.
The result claim you will "lose 9 lbs every 11 days".
I'm am definitely keeping my eye on the foods in it that are less healthy (ie. ham) and when I generate my own list I will cut them out entirely. The menu I am doing is the one my dad made. It'll be interesting to compare results. I'm going to keep updating this daily with how I feel about the diet and let you all decide if it is something you are interested in. Like I said, I'm trying it and we will see.
Thank you for the welcome back Kato, Seasidedebbie, Chrystalina09, gogo1432, and coorsd.
Day #1 Weigh-in: 270.5
Day #2 Weigh-in: 267.4
That's 3.1 pounds lost between yesterday and today. I am keeping in mind the fact that weight can fluctuate 2 lbs within a day and my weigh-in yesterday was in the afternoon and my weigh-in today was this morning. I will try to weigh-in around the same time every morning so that I can see a more accurate weight measurement. But taking into account the 2 lb flux I'd still be pretty happy with this diet and my exercise with the 1.1 lb loss
My dad told me that from last night (he weighed in right before dinner) to this morning he is down 4 lbs.
gogo - Milk intolerance isn't an issue for me. I just like my dairy products. I have to get my milk in daily or I end up with painful cramps. So every morning during this for me is still starting out with a single glass of 1% milk. As for the cheese - I can think of no better legitimate explanation then: I love it!
coorsd - great to be on your team
So at this point I am optimistic about the plan (a rare feat with any "diet" for me). If the loss keeps on at this pace in 11 days I will be very enthusiastic about the plan and not to mention lighter.
I hope you all have a great and healthy day! Thank you for supporting me!

11 day diet
So today I started an 11 day diet. Basically it's a program that generates a meal menu for the next 11 days. 4 meals a day 3-4 hours apart.
Day #1
6:30 am: Banana & glass of milk (to prevent my stomach from causing problems during morning workout)
3 miles on elliptical
Meal #1 - 7:30 am: Scrambled eggs, small handful peanuts
Meal #2 - 11:00 am: Tuna salad, head of broccoli, green pepper
Meal #3 - 3:00 pm: Shrimp, small handful cashews, mixed veggies
Meal #4 - 7:00 pm: Broiled sea bass, 2 hard boiled eggs
I'm still satisfied. My sweet tooth kicked in a bit today and despite the cakes/cookies/etc. lying around I was able to stick to the meal plan and not eat the sweets. However, I did end up taking a small pinch of shredded cheddar from the bag that was left out on the counter - cheese seems to be as equal a temptation as sweets for me. Thankfully there is cheese in this plan so next time I think of eating it when I am not supposed to I can just tell myself to wait until the day I'm allowed to have it and not fret it.
The plan is really interesting. My dad has done it before and lost quite a bit of weight with it. He asked me to try it with him (as he does it again) - so I am giving it a go. Tomorrow 3 of the 4 meals consist of fruit - so I'll see how that goes.
