Christie, I'm not sure how may I've lost exactly because I didn't weigh myself the first morning. Best guess is around 4. Which I'll happily take!

And while I'm thinking of it, what's phase "1.5"? I've seen in mentioned and I'm assuming it's adding some carb in but not all... fruit? whole grains?

I am on the second day of Phase 1 and I have a huge headache. Also, I get very hungry around 4PM even if I have a snack an hour earlier. But I don't crave carbs or sweets just yet.

Yes, when you start phase 2 you are supposed to gradually add grains and fruit back into your meals, one at a time. So phase 1.5 means you are still transitioning in between phase 1 and 2.

Marinella- Eat if you are hungry sis, just have a veggie or a salad if you need too, and it does get better on the headache side, I havent had one in 2 days now and I am sure it was because of sugar detox, hang in there, I have more energy today that I have had in awhile now :yes: Oh I am on day 4 :D

Whew! Clean 2 days so far, and feeling much better. I think celery and hummus, tofu pate, and the occasional glob of peanut butter are going to be my salvation. :) I'm not usually a big milk drinker, but I've been having a glass of 1% in the morning with my breakfast, and I think that's helping, too. I can tell I'm de-puffing already, and it feels great!

Way to go 40+ :cheer: milk is my staple every day now too for sure and I look forward to it like it is a treat ;)

Just came back too the beach after about a year and a half of straying... I am only on week 1 of phase 1 and so far no grumpys or headaches... I am super tired, but I am always tired (from an unrelated iron deficiency), so Im use to that part.... otherwise so far so good.

RiverGirl- So far so good looks great to me :D

I just finished my second day of ph1 :) I'm so proud I haven't cheated!! :) as I was making my breakfast/snacks/lunch for tomorrow I kept thinking of all the excuses I've made before to cheat...how did I get away with people believing them? :( I guess it was good to see that, acceptance it's a big step for me.
I got side tracked :P
but so far feeling great for a second day ! No headaches for me ;) knock on wood...

wowzers - I still laugh at myself when I consider cheating, for a moment irrational thought takes over and then the rational side goes "Um, WHAT? How does that make sense?" :frypan:

wowzers- way to go on day 2 :dance: And way to go on the no headaches too!

8675309- I feel the same way...why cheat now??? :D

I am also doing phase one it has been a little challenging since i work 12 hours and have been working a lot lately but i am tryin to make the best of yesterday I caved and ate some chocolate so I will be extending my phase 1 by a week more I had lost about 4lbs but i gained one back

Thanks Christian, the problem is that I am at work and I forget to bring a bigger snack such as vegetables or salad. I am already bringing breakfast, lunch and a snack to work so I guess I need a bigger cooler, LOL! On the positive side I saw a change on the scale this morning but that could be water weight. On the negative side I still have a headache but I am starting to think it may be due to PMS and I haven't taking anything yet because I am afraid it will upset my stomach.

Marinella- I am sure PMS has a beig deal to do with the headaches, I am on my cycle now and the headaches have finally laid off, keep up the great work, cause it is SO worth the result we get from this :yes:

Thanks, I will! How long did it take you to reach your current goal?
