Hi everyone,
I use to do Pure Weight Loss and had a lot of success. My cravings even went away. I only had about 20 lbs to go before the center closed. I promised myself I would not quit but I found I cheated and kept on cheating. I gained 20lbs of what I had lost but no more. (I had lost 50)
I was on the color plan but I have all the information for the Number Plans also. It looks as if the Number Plans would be easier since it appears to be more food. How do I know where to begin?
Thanks for you help
Tracey

Hi Tracey - welcome back to the program. I wish I could help you about the numbered plans, but I'm sticking with the colors.

In the Losers and Friends thread there has been a discussion, and a link to an old post about the numbered plans. Pop on over there and hopefully you can find some info you need.

Hi
Thanks Kim. I think I am going to go for Plan 2. I use to do the Blue Plan because I exercise every day and I am active throughout most days and I work as a waitress some nights. I was still hungry, though. Everything looks similar with Plan 2 except meat portions may be an ounce smaller but their is an extra fat and dairy and an extra slice of bread and eng. muffin if I wish and bigger portions of egg beaters and cottage cheese. I broke my ankle badly so I don't exercise as much right now. I am in a boot and my first night back at work was last night and my back and foot ached. I have been Sit Down T-tapp and her warm up stretches on the floor and a friend of mine borrowed me her pilates chair to help me rehab my ankle. So, I am assuming Plan 2 would be fine. Plan 3 would be if I was more active, correct? I am at 170 and would like to get down between 130-140. Now, should I just jump in a do plan or do I need to do a couple days of low carb first? Any suggestions welcome.
Tracey

Tracey -

You might have seen this on the other thread, but here is the "start"

the 4 weeks is started with a Take-off, then no red meat, potatoes, or pasta, for 4 weeks. It is designed to prepare your body for weightloss - the way I see it, they want your digestive system to start from scratch learning how to digest things in a timely manner. After 4 weeks, then you add in these things, but only on a "infrequent" basis - meaning no more than 3 times a week.

Take off is the same as when you were on LAWL, you can use Knudsens morning blend for the juice, or use 4 oranges or canteloupe.

Good luck!

Thank you Kim. So basically fastforward, then I can add oatmeal, bread,etc. but no of the other items you mentioned. I am 5'7. I hope I am picking the right plan. I sure wish I still had a center near by. I think this is a plan I could to stick tofor life if I could resist from binging. I thank God Iam active or else I would really be heavy and health problems because it runs in my family. Both my parents and all my uncles and aunts except for one uncle has passed at a young age. Now, do you think it is better to eat all day or eat in a certain time window, say from 2 to 7?
