I have found it easier in my 40s only because of my maturity level and ability to stay focused. I'm much more tired and achier. I just don't bounce back physically like I used to, but find that I...

That's what I wound up doing. Still too much food for me. Scale is up, which is pretty impossible, given that my calorie intake is still low. I'm chalking it up to fluid retention and whatever this...

Messed up -- what do I do?

So, I started Phase 3 and felt really sick. I thought that it was from too much food at one time and foods I wasn't used to. Could have been some of that, but I have also had some sort of stomach...

Here's my positive note from being so sick -- when the paramedics asked me how much I weighed I wasn't totally humiliated.

Hope you're feeling better soon.

Morning all. Day 2 of Phase 3 and I'm finding these breakfasts too much food. I have been uncomfortably full, but the upside is that it keeps me full for quite a long time.

Looking forward to a...

Lynsey, I hope you're feeling better.

Had my first Phase 3-ish breakfast today. I kind of modified it, because I was a little nervous. I ate egg whites with mushrooms, a cup of nonfat plain greek...

Thanks. This morning I am slightly panicked, because I had a zero loss this week, but then it dawned on me that I can go back to Phase 1 whenever I want, so I'm forging ahead.

I've been losing about 10 lbs a month (slowing as I get...

I'd stay out of it -- at least confront him directly and not through a card. Your mom is an adult and if this bothers her she needs to tell him.
