I started Tuesday too, and I started the Take Off and I gained 2 pounds which at first made me really mad, but they told me it was normal, my body is getting prepared to start losing weight. I was mad because it was 2 days with no coffee because you can't do milk products and I need my Vanilla Creamer!!! That was torture, but after those 2 days it will all be smooth sailing. I wish you the best. We can do this I know we can. I am at my all time heaviest weight ever and this is the heaviest I will allow myself to be. My sister just had a gastric bypass done so needless to say I do not want to be the fat sister so now I have to work hard to lose it. I wish you the best and keep up the good work. The way I see it is there is no way that you can eat all the food you are supposed to and maybe some exercise without losing weight. I goes against all my reasoning, so it just HAS to happen, work hard, chase your dream and it will happen. I am on the journey with you. We can do this together. Keep me posted.
