    Congrats on the lamb, Jocymc. Another protein to add to your meals makes for more variety and helps us stay with it. Even bigger congrats at getting under 175--what a great feeling!

    I have been gaining and losing the same 5-10 lbs repeatedly. Having lost pretty steadily with The Plan, I'm now within 2 lbs of what I was the last time that I was really working out and focusing on my calories--about a year ago. But this way of eating seems much more sustainable so I hope that I continue to lose and that the pounds don't creep back on again.

    Wow, what a strong reaction to the bread!

    Thanks Kayceeme. It looks like you're doing great on The Plan. Those last 2 pounds should be gone by the time you finish your 20.

    I don't know what to think about the bread reaction. It was so immediate. Bread is definitely off my menu for a long time. This morning I woke up feeling great but the scale showed a .5 pound gain, which I expected. When I was finished in the bathroom I decided to reweigh. I was DOWN by 1.3 pounds!! I couldn't believe it so I reset the scale & tried again. Same weight. Can't wait to see what I weigh tomorrow.

    I just read something in the book today to the effect that reactions are caused by inflammation, and inflammation happens instantaneously--like when you cut your finger and it turns red. Food for thought! (pun intended) :)

    It's good that our bodies tell us immediately that a food is bad for us, but that was going a little overboard. Anyway, I took a break from The Plan on Saturday and took a rest day on Sunday. The rest day included salt free potato chips which I was reluctant to try since I had tested reactive to potatoes. Talking to people on Lyn's FB page and here I was told that the cooking process would deactivate whatever it is in the potato that I was reactive to. It didn't! I had a .8 pound gain after that rest day, so Monday was another rest day. I woke up with a 1.2 pound loss! Today I get to test a new protein. There are so many I want to try that it's hard to decide. It was going to be pinto beans, and I have them soaking, but I've decided on cow's milk cheese. I would love to have a little cheddar sprinkled on my chicken or salad.
