I started last year on December 24th. My mom gave me a big tub of homemade candies and cookies on Xmas Day. I didn't eat a single one! You can do this even at this time of year if you are truly determined. Best wishes!

I echo what kellybo has stated. If there is a will -- there is a way!

Are you completing Phase I? The weight really drops off during Phase I. Prepare for a leveling off and a slowing down. Don't make the mistake I did by staying on Phase I too long -- okay?

I am completing Phase I on Tuesday (12-23) I plan to move on to Phase II right away. I miss having a glass of wine 1-2 nights a week with my dinner :( I realize that my weight loss will taper off, and I'm okay with that.
Phase I wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be, but I'll be glad to move on and expand my diet a bit.

BRAVO!!! *clapping* Stupendous, indeed! Great job rocking up Phase 1 and moving onto Phase 2 appropriately. Surprisingly, the wine can really slow down the losing and add on the calories. When I was dealing with life better, I limited my drinking to special occasions and only had the vino a few times a month and lost terrifically! :) Trust me, I LOVE wine, it was not easy, but I put it in my head that I didn't want IT as much as I wanted my health back. ;) Keep on trucking, you're doing splendid!
