    For those of you who started Phase 1 over, how were your results the second time? I am into Phase 2 and had some minor setbacks and I just feel compelled to start over. I just want to know when you started over - did you feel more successful or committed? And the results?

    I just heard I a great phrase "Discipline is remembering what you want"

    Hi Geli,

    I myself Had a setback and had to start Phase one over, I started phase one right before going on a 3 day cruise to Bahamas. When I went on the cruise, I was just starting phase II. The first day was okay but the last two days were extremely hard to avoid many of the foods not allowed in phase II. To make a long story short, I had a little of the things that were not allowed, however I did it in moderation and I opted for the stairs and did a lot of walking. As a result, no weight was gained. I decided to start over with phase one and to my surprise I am handling it much better this time around than before. I will be weighing in on Monday but judging by how loose my clothes are becoming I have done pretty well.
    Wishing you the best of luck, and remember everything we are doing for self improvement is worth it!!

    Glamourous,

    Just wanted to say I am in your same boat. I'm going on a cruise to the Bahamas in a little less than 2 weeks. I've been on the fat smash diet for a month and I have lost 14 pounds so far. I am so hoping I will stay strong during the cruise. My plan is to stick with what I am doing now, but I will allow myself a little wiggle room. I also plan on continuing my daily work outs and walk walk walk while I am there. I don't think I will restart phase 2 or phase 1, but might extend an extra week if I do bad on the cruise.

    Gelli,

    I was more committed and found my 2nd, 3rd & 4th go arounds w/ Phase 1 again were much easier. I knew exactly what I could and couldn't eat and I knew what receipes I liked. Plus I planned my meals out better and just felt better prepared overall. I have a hard time w/ P2 beause everytime I go on it I go overboard. I am starting detox again today and I just hope for a 4-5 lb loss. I used to want 6-8 lbs but the closer I get to my goal weight, the harder I find it is for me to shed the lbs which is a little discouraging. Good luck to you! Lem
