phase 1 struggles
4
Tue, 08-26-2008 - 1:45pm
Hello! I just finished phase 1 and found I only lost a few pounds. I am frustrated and almost embarrassed, but still motivated to try phase 2 again for another week or two. I think I may have not followed the guidelines as strictly as I thought I could. For example, having slightly more than 2 servings of milk/yogurt or not keeping track of my sugar free treats to be <100 cals. I think some of my portions may have been too large? I do prefer this style of eating and once I got rid of the cravings it became much easier. Please share your thoughts or advice! thanks and have a great day!!

Hi,


I agree that you should keep with it and start on phase 2.

I actually meant that I thought I would continue on phase 1 for another week or so to see if I can kick start my weight loss a bit more. I need to lose about 35lbs. I have a long way to go and can use as much positive reinforcement/encouragement as I can get!

It isn't recommended to stay on phase 1 for longer than 2 weeks.
