HI All

I need to phase off before gong on vacation for two weeks. I am leaving on Saturday March 24th so when is the right time to start phasing off and how long should I be on each phase

Thanks All

Normal phase off would be 2 wks on phase 2 and 2 wks on phase 3 but with only 2 wks to vacation you may want to do 1 week of each.

I phased off for a vacation and did one week of each phase. I gained 6 pounds over the course of three weeks but am happy to say I lost 7 pounds my first week back on IP. Good luck and enjoy your vacation.

Thank you ladies I am trying to do phase 2 this week and will jump to phase 3 next week

I just had WI #3 today and asked my doctor about phasing off before my vacation in June if I am not down to my goal weight. He said that I can either phase off or go and eat at least 3 IPs a day and enjoy dinner out each night. He said that a lot of people don't want to phase off only for a vacation because it will slow your weight loss down for that month. As several of the posts have mentioned, my doctor said I might be up 5 - 7 lbs. but should lose it the first week that I am back on OP. He said it is actually not fat coming back in that amount so most people are able to get back down to the weight they were before vacation. I should also mention that I am only going to be gone 1 week. I have decided that I am not going to phase off early just for my one week off. Good luck!
