I found myself taking this past week off. I had planned to do an extra week of 7/8 (didn't feel ready to move into phase 3), but, instead, stress/work/stuff pulled me off course. To be honest, I had not been great since at least Mother's Day, so I essentially maintained (ate terribly, but the workouts kept my wait flat). I do not want to "start" the whole program over, but I'm not ready to move into week 9 & 10 tomorrow. I think I'm going to do workout 7/8 at least one more time (or maybe 2) and then move onto the last phase. I'm feeling pretty terrible about myself for letting a weekend of "fun eating" stretch into weeks. I just have to remind myself that I've still lost weight and I just need to start tomorrow.

Just needed to vent :)...

    i'm actually going through the EXACT same thing. I'm in weeks 7 and 8 and have been not doing well since mothers day (and been in those weeks since then) and starting weeks 7 and 8 over again (for the millionth time) tomorrow. I hope to just do 1 more week everyday and then move on to phase 3.

    so nice to hear about someone in the same situation! hopefully both of us will get back on track! ;)

    These things happen. The "90 days" should only be a framework that is adapted to your own life and schedule.

    You have been doing so well, and I have been inspired by your posts and progress, I am still inspired that with your set back, you remain committed.

    Oh thank you for posting this! I am in the exact same boat. Lost all steam after phase one and have now started phase two three times doing one work out and then nothing! I started again this week:wink: so we will see. I am just going to continue as if I didnt break. I heard wo 7 is a killer so I may stay at 5and6 for three weeks. We'll see. I'll just be happy to finish a full week of phase 2!:smile:
