Good morning all,
My coach put me on Phase 2 on Monday. My water level was down so she was afraid I was losing muscle and I'm getting close to their goal for me which is 142 and I'm at 144.6. Question is can I still lose more on Phase 2 or should I plan on going back on Phase 1? My personal goal is 132. I've really been dragging. My blood pressure runs low (98/77 with my hr at 50) so that may be why....I don't know. I take the salt a few times per day. Yesterday I couldn't sit and read my book without dozing off. I walk the dog in the mornings for my exercise (about 30 minutes). Any ideas? I need some energy!!!!

Make sure you are salting everything. And taking all the supplements.
My clinic sells b12 drops I I find they give me a boost.

Eating the soups can also help ensure you are getting in enough sodium.

You should continue to lose in phase 2.

I started Phase 2 last Saturday and just whooshed -2lb this morning according to home scale. And from following the boards and my coach - you still continue to lose in Phase 2.

Good Job Liz!! I am hoping to be phase 2 in 3 weeks. Can't wait!! And I know many people who have lost in phase 2 and 3! Even phase 4 you can lose 1 lb/week if you are really good and your body is in gear and you are exercising. My friend lost an extra 8 lbs past her goal weight between phase 2 and maintenance.

That's great to hear! I do plan on ramping up my exercise - probably not to momto2cs standards!!! But I've already started incorporating a light 2.5mi jog @ ~11-12min/mi 3x/week on my off-weightlifting days (I do Bodypump 3x/week w/a 1mile warmup jog). When Phase 3 rolls around I plan on bumping up the distance and speed. I'd still like to change my body composition up a bit more, but I am happy with my clothing size and scale number...just could do with a little more firming up!
