You seem to be right on schedule with "rapid fat loss" - I have the book, too. Good luck!  |
thanks, sveta. don't feel too bad, it took the birth of our third for us to figure it out. the "big" kids were 7 & 5 at that point and it was pretty obvious that if we didn't make time for ourselves then it wasn't going to just happen. we've actually gotten pretty selfish and our kids to be just fine.

well, kathy, so far so good. it's been 9 pounds in ten days which i am thrilled about. i'm keeping a close eye on metabolism through morning temps and i have quite a while before i have to worry about losing lbm. i'm in it for the long haul this time, whether this program works out for me or not.

Do you have much of an appetite at this calorie level or is it suppressed? It sounds like you've done your homework and I'm glad you are logging here and sharing your experience.

funny, i was just thinking how much i liked your blog's name. maine is nice this time of year and even better in the fall (my favorite time of year). my oldest heads back to florida next week - he'll be a sophomore at the ringling college of art and design in sarasota. i'm going to miss him.
i've had some really intense hunger pangs, but they've been infrequent. i try to remind myself that if i'm hungry then the program is working. not sure that always works tho!
