Both of you, thank you for postings. I’ve been off-diet for about three weeks now due to an extended illness and the consequences of antibiotic use. I have every intention of returning to the ps1000 plan as soon as I am physically able. It’s very encouraging to hear that others have had to take breaks but are also going back to work on their weight. This is my first (and hopefully last) attempt using a weight loss diet. and I was feeling rather discouraged by this set-back.
Like you, I feel that I am in control using this program; the food choices are varied enough and obtainable, for the most part, so staying on the program isn’t too hard. Life just seems to get in the way sometimes. I’ve plateaued at around ten pounds, so I’ve modified my end-of-June goal to a modest 20 total pounds (at 5’4″ I’ll then weigh 200 pounds).
My dad’s health is failing, so I plan to drive myself and my two daughters (non-drivers) to visit my parents this summer, spend a month in their home state, and then drive the three of us back in time for the start of the school year (2200 miles round trip plus in-state travel!). If I meet my weight loss goal in the next four weeks, I hope to be on stage 3. If my goal takes longer, I’ll be on stage 2 during the trip to simplify eating. I plan on going back to stage 1 in August to continue losing weight.
I don’t lose weight as easily as some on this diet, but just the fact that there has been progress is a real blessing. FYI Today I turn 56.
Happy Eater, everyone.
Diet doesn't have to be boring
