Sgrealtor1 - sounds like you have a great plan! Crossing fingers for your weigh in! But if not this week, you'll make it soon enough. (But cheering for it to be this week! What a great present to yourself!)

Is seaweed no longer allowed in Phase 1? I think it was before, but I don't see it on the most current protocol posted. Thanks.

Go Sue!!!

Am here on vacation and surprised the wifi is actually working. So happy to read updates from the weekend and hear about everyone's progress and planning. I have been a little nervous about gaining during this break, so I listened to the Beck Diet Solution on audible on the flight down -- just the right messages to stick in my head before getting here. I have half to go so maybe I'll pop it in as I'm lying in a beach chair later this week.
Anyway, happy day to all. Will hope to check in later.

I just noticed it's not there too - I wonder if they removed it because of the salt content? I looked up the nutritional info and a cup of raw seaweed has about 696mg sodium (about 24% RDA) - maybe it was causing issues with water retention.

sgrealtor I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you on today's weigh in!

Also I would like to say thanks to everyone for the support yesterday! I didn't check the posts after mine until today because yesterday was so hectic! I lost 1 lb and 6" at my weigh in so I think that's a pretty darn good win.

Fingers crossed for you, Sue. I also just stumbled over the 60lb down line, so I know what a happy feeling it is.

Next stop ..... 185 and "merely" overweight.

Happy Tuesday, IPeeps. Plan, Prepare, Practice those good habits this week. Leftovers will be a temptation that you can't afford. Stay strong!

I too have crossed over into the overweight category. I realized this morning and had to text DH right away

Next yippee! moment for me will be the 150s, hopefully before the new year, even it it's 159.5!! (That's as accurate as my scale gets )

The victories along the way sure help!
