Well, I got off track a couple of days. I need to re-focus myself and follow the plan. I know it works and I feel so much better. I am starting back on plan today! I am down 7 lbs and need to lose 13 more by Halloween. We all can do this! Stay focused and just keep trying!
Wowee! Look at what your body was doing during those previous weeks -- preparing for a big drop this week!
Go Team!
Thanks. A lot. I've been trying all of the suggestions you all made, but one at a time; and will report back. The one that's most interesting, though, is that I went down to 159.4 the day after eating a bar, but the fat % shot up. Tried a bar for the second day, yesterday, and fat and weight went up.
Just updated my second week. My official WI day is Thursday. Last week TOM came for a visit so I was kind of worried...but I was still down 2.8lbs.
PS -I maybe one of the few, but my PMS, especially the mood swings part have nearly disappeared. Thankfully I am also very regular so if I had not tracked when TOM was to arrive this last time, I would have been surprised. There were no warning signs. My husband (who is also on IP, Phase 2) can't believe it either. Before, I would get really emotional the week or two before and now there is hardly any change in my mood.

Congratulations to everyone! You're all doing so well on this challenge.
I was just curious if there's anyway a newbie like me can join in since I don't have a signature yet, plus I've only been on IP for a week? My personal goal is to be down 20 lbs by Halloween too. If I can't join in officially, I'll just follow along on my own.
