Hello Everyone!!
Things are going really well for me on Phase 3. I am still at my last injection weight of 158.5. My weight has been extremely steady, never going much over my LIW. I have found that the key for me is weighing myself each morning and then adjusting my food for the day based on my weight that morning. If I'm a little over LIW, I drink more water and stick ridgidly to the diet. If I'm a little under LIW, I relax a little more that day. So far, everything is wonderful. I've lost a total of 26 pounds so far this summer. I have some other good news! My daughter-in-law did the diet during July and August and lost 28 pounds!!!!! We waited until the new baby was 3 months old to give her body a chance to "calm down" a little. The diet worked like a charm for her!! We're doing P3 in September and then we're going to lose a few more pounds in October and hopefully we'll be finished. Shauna (my D-I-L) is doing very very well on P3 as well. She's been at her LIW everyday but one, she did a steak day and went right back down to LIW. On Labor Day we are having a family cookout and will be taking pictures. I will include a new picture next week, I'll try to get one with Shauna and the baby (Addison) as well. Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe holiday weekend and I'll be back with you next week!
