Mira, I'm quite proud! Nicely done!!! I will say to chuck the 50/50 PB and get yourself some nice natural PB - ingredients should only be Peanuts and Salt. Even that 1 gram of sugar will hinder your loss and screw with your blood sugar!

And thanks, by the way. I actually made it down to 113 at one point. I went from XXXL tops and size 16 pants to XS tops and size 2 pants. I had never been a size 2 in my life. If you stick to it, you will have amazing results and you will feel INCREDIBLE. I let myself go after Chris and I got together so now I'm trying to get back to where I need to be.

3 days 100% OP!!!! Wooohoo!

Thursday
B: 2 eggs with cheese
L: Salad with turkey and cheese
S: Carrots, V8, laughing cow

I should probably cut back on the cheese. Oops.

Strange day today. I'm eating lightly because I have three social events in the afternoon/evening that I can't get out of and I can't bring something to...

Phase 2

B - coffee with unsweetened almond milk.
Big walk
Brunch - Lentil/butternut squash/kale soup with fried egg on top. 1 clementine.
S - cup of tea. No cookies!!
S - glass of red wine (happy hour) don't know what food I could find that would be on plan; a small serving of a cheese plate would be lovely!
D - Vietnamese restaurant. I will get tofu & broccoli or similar, and hope that they have brown rice, otherwise, that's it.
dessert - back at home - 1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt. An apple with nuts or peanut butter if I managed to eat lightly out...

Emma - Good for "no cookies" . Hope you make it through this afternoon/evening's events. By the way, someone (sorry, but I can't remember who) mentioned the other day that their nf plain yogurt contained 16 grams of protein. It got me to look at the brand that I am eating and darn if it doesn't have 23! Gosh, I'm doing something right!

Phase 2 -

B. Oatmeal soaked in unsweetened vanilla almond milk w/chopped apple
L. vegetarian chili topped with diced avocado, lf Colby Jack cheese, and a dollop of nf Greek yogurt

S. SF chocolate mint mousse

Tomorrow's plan...

to all you ladies and your support!

argh. totally annoyed by my sister-in-law and her constant "head-in-butt" syndrome.

-
dinner changed for tonight since i had to look for my keys for two hours before i left for the gym. anybody want a 4-year old who occasionally hides keys in places "that you'll never find them"...and then forgets where that place is? DH took me out to the local Jason's Deli for a salad because he knew I didn't want to cook.

Ended up having a salad with some hummus and a half spinach/veggie wrap, a few cantaloupe chunks, 2 strawberries and some apple slices.

no snacking this evening either. DH and I are going to watch a movie.

noticed many of you are not doing the BSLSDS meal versions in the book? Will it still work without the additional snacks? I see mostly BLSD. Im in phase one and am trying to use that meal plan in the book (with minor tweaks due to funds and such).

s:yellow and green squash slices w/ hummus
d:2 chicken tenderloins with leftover chefs salad (modified with more veggies than meat), and 2 left over broiled tomato halves.
s: almond cottage cheese creme (modified ricatta)

Last question: Is it alright to plan for the holidays to allow a day to eat foods not SBD compliant? I would be in the second phase and would relinquish only a day to have some unique foods. Any thoughts? Im not worried about falling off the diet, I know myself there. I am just curious if this would make me have to go back to phase one the next day or something horrendous like that.

also, is it normal to get dizzy on phase one? I eat more that enough in my opinion. Never hungry or full. I also notice my body acting quite differently to the caffiene in my coffee. I am having no hunger pains from it, but also am having wierd feelings in my chest like my heart is slowing down...like a pressure. No pain though, which is good. Any thoughts or experiences similar. any other effects I should know about, like dry skin LOL.

B-oatmeal with almond milk
L-Veggie salad at chipotle
S-ww toast with roasted red pepper hummus
D-brown rice jambalaya with turkey sausage
