Hi ladies! After a few weeks of some very poor food choices and about five pounds, I'm climbing back onto Phase I for a week to get myself together again! Luckily, DH is climbing back on with me too, so that should make it easier.
Hi All!! Hope everyone is having a great day. So I am in my second week now, and started thinking about phase 2 and I am having some serious anxiety about it. I feel so unprepared and like I should just stay on phase 1 for now. Are these feelings normal?
This is my second time doing Phase 1, and so far so good! We have some errands to run tonight, so I'm hoping I can stay OP for dinner and not do something stupid!!
Jessie - I think it's totally normal to feel good about how much you've lost and be a little nervous about starting Phase 2. You have to accept that the weight loss is going to slow down. I even found that I would have a week or more when I would stay the same, and then I'd get weighed and I would have lost two or three pounds at once. So it gets a little frustrating, you just have to try and stick with it and it'll pay off. I think if you start Phase 2 slow by adding one thing in at a time, you'll do fine. It looks like you've done great so far!
Hi ladies, I'm starting today on my weight loss journey, it's nice to see so much support. my official weigh in is 220.

Linzluv, you need more veggies. I see none at breakfast or lunch. Lunch needs to be more substantial than just cottage cheese. Your dinner menu looks great. V8 is a great way to get veggies in at breakfast, but you need the filling fiber of real veggies throughout the day.

I had just started that day, I went grocery shopping before hand, so I got home around noon and tried to make up for breakfast, lunch and snack, so I do realize I need more veggies, I will post my menu for yesterday, let me know what you think. Thankz for the input!

Hello everyone!
Today is my last day on Phase 1, officially I am down 12 lbs. Although when I was a couple of pounds higher but was working out, my waist measurement was 3 inches less than it is now. Anyone else experience this?
Christine-good job and welcome!!!
Royal Athena- I know how hard it is to get off of sugar. I love my sugar, pasta and bread!! Take it a day at a time and you'll be fine. I found those peanut butter cookies from the SB recipe forum helped satisfy my sweet tooth.
Linzluv-That is great that you are so prepared! That is what helped me with phase 1.
