I decided to do the special k diet about 2wks ago, I am 5'9 and I weighed in at 231 and now 224! That's 7 pounds... I counted calories and I ate fruits and protein snacks along with a regular dinner. But people cannot get fooled into eating however they want for their dinner, I was able to have discipline.

It works! I have lost 70 lbs so far and losing more. I do the cereal for bkfst, bar for lunch (omg they are good), and chicken, and vegies for dinner. I make sure to be 1200 cals or higher to not have any health side effects. I also walk daily with the kids. I do just the bars for 1 week every other month to kickstart the diet again. It makes you lose 10 lbs just in that week, but not good longterm as it's well under that 1200 cal safety. Good luck!

I'm doing the Special K challenge in conjunction with daily exercise and the results have been very good. I eat 1 cup of Special K Protein (lightly sweetened) with an equal amount of 1% milk for breakfast and lunch with bottled water and fruit in between. Dinner is a serving and a half of steamed vegetables, and two and a half servings of baked chicken. Add to that a 2 mile walk 5 days a week. I feel the Special K challenge is positively augmenting my desire to lose weight. I'm 5'9" and used to weigh 225 lbs. I've been doing this for about a month and I'm down to 211 and feel great. My goal is 190. If you're going to do the Special K challenge, team it up with daily exercise and a healthy dinner. Stay focused and dedicated. You won't be sorry.

Special k is only promoted for women judging by the tv ad, what a shame i am a man and have been overlooked in their ad, this is a very poor way of promoting any product whether it is good or bad sexism is not welcome in my books and i will have to buy a mens cereal product by another company.

I had hit rock bottom 233 lbs at 32yrs old only 5'4". Now nine months later I'm 178 and still working towards my goal of losing 100lbs. I have used Special K throughout the process on and off so my body didn't get in a rut with it. I would say Special K was a life changing help for me!

I started the diet on Janaury 9, 2013 and have lost 6 lbs already (hooray) I have the cereal with a 1/2 bananal for breakfast & lunch and a regular dinner with no bread. Trying to drink lost of water and eat lots of fruits and also the Special K 90 calories bar as a snack. I haven't been able to exercise because I'm recovery from surgery but plan to start in Feb. This plan is working for me. Good luck to everyone on the plan.

Monday, Jan 16, 2012 will mark my daughter & my 2 weeks on this diet. So far, I have lost 5 lbs., more than my daughter because I weigh more. We have a protein shake for breakfast, a crisp & fruit for morning snack, cereal & milk & a fruit for lunch, crackers for afternoon snack, and one of the dinner recipes in the evening & dessert if suggested with the dinner recipe. We also exercise, Mon, Wed, Fri on a Bowflex treadclimber; Tues, Thurs & Sat using a pilates video. Rarely get hungry. Sometimes add a lot more veggies to evening meal. A favorite is smothered cabbage with carmelized onions (no sugar added). Plan to continue beyond the 2 weeks.

I've been on this plan since the 11th of January. I'm enjoying it. I'm following the plan and drinking lots of water and doing as much exercise (walking dogs & cleaning house) as much as possible. I've lost three pounds in three days! Yahoo!!

I did this last year around this time, and I got down to my goal weight, just before I found out I was expecting #3. I'm looking to get back there again. I love all the bars and shakes, and the snack bars are great too, very filling. I also drank a lot of water, and tried to get some good excerise, but chasing babies all day long really helps with that... I think if you are looking for something to help get to started this is the way to go, I really saw results, and it helped give me the boost I needed. Also, you need to exercise at least 3 times a week for 30 minutes, and plan healthy dinner meals. It's common sense for most, but others need more guidence!!! Hope everyone is doing great and best of luck!!!

Today is my second day of the Special K diet and i like it so far except that i am hungry. I'm used to eating whatever i want but since i had surgery on my foot i havent been able to do much physical activity but im healing now so with a cardio program and this short diet i am very optimistic. I am 19 and 5'3" and 128. i used to weigh 110. I would like to get down to that but i know your only supposed to lose a few lbs with this diet so i think it will be a great jumpstart. Thanks to everyone who is so motivating!

i actually just started it today i am very excited i hope it works! but what else could i do besides the speacial k and work out i know eat healthy and good meal plans?!

Well I tried this for the two weeks and lost 2 pounds of the 6 I want to loose. I was down 4 pounds at one point, but it didn't last more than a day. I swung around a lot on this diet. I did NOT loose any inches anywhere. I followed everything to the letter save for a single day that I went over 1500 calories. Most days I didn't hit 1100. All that sacrifice for little reward. Working out and even just walking each day is pretty much manditory for any weight loss, just eating less can help if you have a lot to loose, but if you are like me and only want to loose a pant size and a few pounds, it just won't do.
