Welcome to the Beach Manola,
Just like January, I started at 163 and am down now to 150 after one week on Phase 2. I lost about ten or so during Phase 1, and three the first week of Phase 2. This is the start of week 4, and I have to say that I find this way of eating to be quite easy. But it is true that everyone is different and it depends on what your food weaknesses are. I am not a snack-er, nor am I a big sweets eater, but I LOVE starch, so that's been really challenging, but I find if I just don't touch it, I am fine. I am just beginning to add back low carb bread, whole wheat pasta, etc, and I think that's going to really be challenging, to stop eating at small amounts, that sort of thing. But I think I can do it!
Good luck!!! I know you can do it!! This is a great place for motivation!
