Monday Weigh-Ins
I know that most of us has experienced immediate weight loss with this plan and that has lead some of us to weigh ourselves every day (I'm guilty)! Since our weight fluxuates and since stress can affect our weight loss, I thought it would be a good idea to only weigh ourselves once per week on Monday.

Who's ready for Round Two????
I completed Cycle #1. I lost my measurements, so I don't know exactly how many inches I lost, but I lost 6.5 pounds. I kind of took a break for a week after I completed the cycle. I was still trying to follow the plan but not to the tee and I had a concert and a dinner out and a grad party in that week! Now I'm ready to…

SO HOW IS EVERYONEDOING????
I notice that no one is updating or asking questions at the moment. I actually finished my 28 days and I lost 6.5 pounds. I lost inches too but sadly I lost the information I wrote down. I can tell that I've lost inches because I'm now able to fit a pair of pants that are a size 12 and I normally wear a 14! So I'm excited…

Week Three....DONT GIVE UP!
If you haven't experienced a big loss by the beginning of week three, then you might be experiencing delayed repair of your metabolism. We have to remember that our bodies are still relearning how to use the nutrients in carb rich foods. If, in the first two weeks, you haven't lost as much weight as you had hoped, just…

Results!
I know that you don't have to count calories with this plan, but I recorded all of my food into MFP because I was curious. I ate 2,550 calories yesterday and woke up this morning and I was down 1.4 pounds! I'm sure that was water weight, but it is interesting that I've been eating 1500 - 1800 calories and my weight hasn't…

Exercise
If you are new to exercise, aim for 30 to 40 minutes of cardio during Phase One. If you already exercise regularly, aim for 45 to 75 minutes. If you're too busy to do it all at once, split it into 15-minute sessions -- a brisk walk before work, another at lunch and one more after work will do the job. For the weight…

Beginner Yogi - What does the color purple mean?
I've done Hot Yoga and recently I've found some videos on You Tube to practice Yoga at home. At the end of a 30 minute beginner yoga session the instructor has us meditating (which I'm also new too). It was very relaxing. As I continued to meditate after the video ended I began to see waves of purple (and my eyes were…
