I ended up gaining too much (15 pounds yikes!) and decided I couldn't continue like that.
Well problem is I've been bouncing between 147-148 for almost 3 weeks now!
When I first lost the weight I was going to the gym 5 days a week. Since I moved and there is no affordable gym around I haven't been able to go. I really wonder if this is my problem.
I've tried getting back into running (what I did for cardio at the gym) and I can't even go for more than a minute outside .
I'm so mad at myself for doing this.. YET again. At least I caught it early.. last time I let myself get to 200 before pushing my butt back into gear.
I don't go to the gym....but I do yoga two days a week with a group at work, I walk every day, and I golf (walk and carry my clubs) 4-5 nights a week. IP does NOT want anyone doing too much exercise...it can inhibit the loss. I am doing alternatives for my reboot. Originally Posted by Jonsgurl0531

Jump on the reboot with us. I was up 17 pounds...super ouch. but right now only about 7 up. I am so glad I am taking the time to reboot, but the weekends are SUPER hard. I have two more perfect weekends to make it through and then I am having a "cheat" night/Atkins style...so I stay in ketosis. Then I will do 14-15 days before phase 3 for a week and then phase 4 for a week before I leave for Vegas.
I am also planning a 7 day phase 1 the day I return from Vegas (July 1st)
