    The B complex vitamins give you a lot of energy. I would recommend taking them once a day in the morning or before a workout but avoid anything before bed.

    Robyn, that is my concern as well. Although I haven’t received any reply from PS1000 about issues related to starting over with the drops and phase 1 foods (a little frustrating that there hasn’t been sufficient support in that regard) my thought is to approach it as if it were the first time I started and see what happens. However, I am concerned over trying something again that is so stringent and precise, failing and then finding myself worse off than before. I am wondering if it might be better to focus more on “lifestyle changes” than on losing weight quickly because in the end the yo-yo effect is THE WORST place to be. Bad for our bodies and minds.

    Good luck to you! I’m 45 and had success early on but then got off track during the holidays. I am restarting. These boards provide good support as does the Facebook group. 🙂

    I am also 45 and need to lose about 30 pounds. I had success last year (October-November) on this diet but got off track over the holidays. I am now restarting. I found that some days were easier than others. I like what @jennhosborn said: lifestyle, not diet. I think that mindset helps. Good luck!

    I’m starting over. I lost 13 pounds the first time around (October-November 2016) but got off track during the holidays. I think I gained it all back. I’m having a hard time wanting to get back on the scale. 🙁 I’m wondering if I can expect similar results on the second time around? And I’m open to any suggestions regarding motivation. This path isn’t easy but it’s effective.

    Thanks, Lynda! I am going to start using My Fitness Pal instead. Jessica also mentioned caloriecounter.com. I’ll compare those two. Thanks again and good luck!

    Thank you, Jessica! This helps a lot. I had started using calorie count but I will also check out My Fitness Pal. I like that it’s free. 🙂

    I’ve been doing Orangetheory off and on since April this year. I love its hour-long workout. Perfect mix of cardio and weights. Today is my first day on this program, and I worked out in the morning. After taking the drops and having a peach pre-workout, my stomach wasn’t feeling that great toward the end of the workout. I may take the drops afterward next time to see if this makes a difference. Cheers!
