End of week 2 of Phase 1 Need help

I did great the first 2 weeks on Phase 1, then turkey day came. I didn't go crazy and it was the only meal I had that day. The scale said I gained 2 pounds. It took me until today to start losing again. Is that normal? If I extent Phase 1 will I lose at the rate I did the first 2 weeks. I am concerned because I have alot of weight to lose and was excited when it was coming off so fast. (40 pounds to lose) Guess I am feeling frustrated. Anyone else experience the same problems?

Thanks for the help

You probably should have eaten a little something before Turkey dinner. DH and I both had salads and he actually lost 2-3 lbs that day. We are both on day 14 today, I am down about 10 lbs, DH 12-13 lbs. We are going to continue on Phase 1 for another week to see what happens. I think you probably need to see how body is reacting. You may need to move to Phase 2 for a short time and then go back to Phase 1.

Also, DH & I both went a few days without any weight loss and then like overnight were down a couple of pounds.

HTH & Good luck!!!
