Jonsgurl!!!
That's great!
I think even better than the weightloss is how GOOD you feel and how heathy you are on this plan!
Have a great time at Disney! I used to live close enough to Anaheim to have an annual pass to Disneyland and I loved it! Hope you love wearing your ears!
TRimom, Congrats on the loss!
As I'm sure you know, being a "scale ho" (as we frequent weighers sometimes call ourselves in jest...) has its disadvantages. One of them is that the scale is not only vastly inaccurate, but it doesn't tell us
what we lost (water, fat, muscle)...just that we weigh less (or more). The best thing to do is to take an average of your daily weigh-ins for the week, or to limit yourself to weighing in once a week or once a month. When/If you're ready to try limiting your weigh-ins, the chicks here have tons of helpful tips on how to do it.
As for P1, you definitely have to do it
without fruit (without anything on the "avoid" list) for it to do what it promises--take away cravings. With the fruit in your diet, all you're technically doing is reducing your calorie intake. Even with the fruit, Phase 1 just isn't a healthy way to eat for the long term. So save yourself the frustration and stick to the plan faithfully for the two weeks, then move into Phase 2 when you can add in the fruit and eat in a more healthy way. It'll be SO much easier without the cravings. No plan ever worked for me until I found SBD because I always had cravings and felt deprived. After Phase 1, I lost all my cravings and was AMAZED!
I hope you end up feeling the same way!
A month on the Beach already gone
Keep it up!
