After all, we want this to be the LAST diet we are ever on, and I personally would hate to go through this again!!!
Best of luck to you and welcome!

I did cycle through to phase 4 but I wasn't exactly at my goal weight yet. I just couldn't afford the diet anymore. So I got down to a weight that I thought I could manage and still lose using exercise and healthy habits. Well, I started running and was actually losing quicker than before. And then I got this horrible cough, couldn't run for about 2 weeks and a nibble here...a nibble there...you get the picture...
Thanks so much everyone! It's great to have this kind of "place to go" for support and feedback from people in the same exact boat as you. I started today so I'm one day closer to losing the 80 I gained over the last 2 years...and hopefully 30more to get to my goal
