How is phase 2 the weight loss phase?

I am super bummed out. I'm having trouble believing that phase 2 is the weight LOSS phase! I know so many of you have lost a ton of weight on phase 2, but I am feeling really discouraged. I am in my 5th week of SB and I have only lost 4 pounds total. So I have actually GAINED one pound since phase 1. Which brings my total weight loss in 5 weeks to only 4 pounds. I just feel like crying. And for the 3 weeks I have been in phase 2, I have only added one starch and one fruit per day. I just don't get it!? I have even done some serious walking as well. And I don't notice a huge difference in how my clothes are fitting either. I just feel so frustrated. And I have a lot of weight to lose, like 50 pounds, so I would think it would come off fast at least initially. I really like this diet, but I'm beginning to wonder what's the point? I don't seem to be losing weight! What can/should I do? Any advice is welcome!

Kate, im glad to hear that. We will definately need eachother to lean on every now and then when we have our bad days. This whole experience has made me feel better about myself and given me more confidence. It really has changed my thinking when it comes to food. Now....I just can't wait to get into those size 7 or maybe 5 jeans! Im in a 14 right now. I'll send you a picture when I do.
So just prepare yourself for Phase 1 next week and get all your food from the store ahead of time. I found that is the key to success on this plan. I am tempted when I am not prepared. And, never let yourself get hungry. I printed out alot of lists here that I carried around with me for reference. Do you have the little SBD book?
I can't wait to hear how it goes next week.
