Its a great feeling to know how well y'all are doing and seeing the results. This morning when I was getting dressed I put on a shirt I bought a LONG time ago cuz I like it but never fit into it. This morning it fit and when I looked in the mirror I saw a DIFFERENT person....ME.....Someone I don't remember seeing for a VERY VERY LONG time. I was talking to myself, good thing my son wasn't home he would of thought I was going crazy. But what I have on today I can see how much I have loss. My nail lady when I walked in said How much now? (she is asian) I said 92lbs she said OMG 10 more lbs and you lose one of me.....I had to laugh but she is right. Today is the FIRST day that I could see the difference in me. I don't know where the months have gone because my world revolves around weeks now. I've been on the program for 26 weeks not 6 months. To me 6 months sound so much longer than 26 weeks for some reason. Its crazy how our minds work or think sometimes.
Anyways, I am glad you and your hubby support each other on this journey. Its going to bring you even closer than you were already
[/QUOTE]I am just noticing my different body as well... it is weird how it takes us a while to see ourselves weight loss.

I have been on the diet for 10 weeks and have lost 20lbs. I am at my goal weight, but am confused about the extra 3-5lbs IP suggests to lose beyond the goal weight.
-Do I stay on Phase 1 until I have lost this extra weight?
-I have been starving lately (new for me). I introduced some exercise lately-could it be that? If not, any suggestions?
Also.....I sooooo cheated today!! Never have done that! Now what????
Thanks!! Nellle
you can go to phase 2, as in phase 2 you should (and I say should as not all do) still lose weight as your still in ketosis and have just switched one protein(packet) for another protein. I was told the real only difference is the packets are absorbed faster in your body... and that is it. I actually had stopped losing in phase 1 and am now losing again in phase 2 after a bumpy couple of months.

I just don't feel like eating, totally not hungry. Wondering though if I should have an additional non-restricted packet for the protein? I buy my packets weekly so for choices I have choc drink mix, pina colada, or peach mango (avoiding that one as I hated the premade mango drink). I also have herb omelette (but don't want to eat) and a restricted bar (but had oatmeal this a.m.). I definately know I can not do vegetables tonight. Blech! I just don't want to affect my weigh-in tomorrow so unsure what I should do.
Thanks in advance!
you know what I wouldn't have anything, if you can't handle veggies, normally I would say eat your veg, but I don't believe you have to have another packet as then you would be adding more protein and not veg power...
