I lost 16 lbs on this plan in November then went off for December, and then just after Christmas we learned my mom had terminal cancer, so the stress eating began and the weight piled back on. Mom passed away earlier this month, so now I am back to focus on my own health.

I enjoy balsamic vinegar on my salads. Also today I had a cucumber and tangerine salad with balsamic vinegar and just a touch of Truvia sweetener. Delicious! Haven't figured out snacks for Phase 2 yet, just started up again today but yes it definitely is the hardest. When my hubby and I went on the plan in November, he felt awful during Week one's Phase 2. When we followed up on the website and Haylie Pomeroy explained that toxins are being cleaned out it of our body during that phase, it made perfect sense as to why he didn't feel good...he had worked in a chemical plant for years...so lots of toxins. The following week he felt better.
