Another 5 pounds gone!!!!! My doctor wants me on Phase One until I loose another 20-30 pounds! I asked him if I could be a little naughty during the holidays & he said that it was entirely up to me!
Last night I was invited to my first Christmas dinner of the season. For the most part I was a good girl, but I did have dessert...Boy did it taste good! LOL But it doesn't mean that I want sweets everyday at all, because I am determined to drop the weight, but it is hard not to have a treat during the holidays & denying myself could prove disastrous.
I was diagnosed with a sinus infection, so I am in the midst of treating that so that I am healthy again for Christmas with my family.
Onward & downward with my weight-loss plans!!! LOL

BRAVO! I was thinking of you earlier when I was posting a response to how much weight I've lost so far...for some reason I could see your face but couldn't think of your name. I'm so glad you posted! My doctor also said phase 1 is good if you really have the weight to lose and are building muscle at the same time. When you're ready, maybe grapefruit? Thats the first one Im introducing, its lowest on the glycemic index and I don't feel like Im having anything too sweet. Wow, I knew you could do this! I am so very proud of you and happy for you! How much better are you starting to feel? Do tell, I want to hear all the good stuff you have to share!

Yes, the chart is so excellent, I wonder why the Doc is pushing you so hard. I would take that with a grain of salt and start moving slowly into Phase 2. But, of course, I'm not a doctor. Good Luck CanuckAngel!

I think the reason that my doctor is pushing me so hard is because I have a lot of weight to loose. When I started I was 263 pounds...I set my first goal at 200 pounds, a rather big goal, but I felt that I was determined to reach it...My ultimate goal is to reach 150 pounds though...So once I reach my first goal I will reset my goal to my ultimate goal & continue. He must know what he is doing, at least I hope he does. I am taking a multi-vitamin every day to be on the safe side. I am using One-A-Day Weight Smart vitamins.

drd3775...where are you in Maine? My family all lives there. I lived there as a small child. We lived in Saco and Scarborough but my Grandpa still lives there in Portland. We are actually planning a visit to see him soon. I love Maine. Some of my fondest childhood memories were going to stay with my grandparents there. They had a house on the beach and would always take us to Old Orchard Beach. Ever been there?

I'm sure your doctor is taking everything into consideration and you're doing just great! I printed out my food journal and took it to my doctor so she could see what my diet was all about, she was okay once she knew that fruit and grains came back in phase 2 though. But if you missed it.. my bloodwork was fantastick and I don't have to take cholesteral meds, and I am going back in 3 months and she might take me off the blood pressure meds. She even said "WOW" when she saw my bloodwork results! I love SBD
