Wow Carol! I loved reading this and it gave me such a sense of encouragement. I don’t know if that was your intent but it sure helped me with a positive boost. I have been on the plan since the beginning of the year as well and experienced a great initial weight loss. Then I ended up going out of state for a funeral and experienced a small gain. I was only home for a week when I had to go out of state for ANOTHER funeral. While I was at the funeral, my daughter gave birth to a premature baby girl and I left one state to go to another. I have been with her for a month and will not be going home for another week. I had my plan guidebook with me but have still found it hard to stay with the approved foods list. I continue to exercise and am active on this site and facebook. Because of this, I know I will be able to start again when I am finally back home. My goal is to become more comfortable with t he plan so that when I am away from home I can still follow it. I have said many times that it is a lifestyle change and I believe that. But when you have spent so many years eating one way and then try to change it, old habits are more likely to reappear at the beginning. Anyway – thanks for your thoughts and I look forward to getting back to basics.
