The whole program is 82 weeks. The last 52 weeks is suppose to help with maintenance, but I will be losing for the next 52 weeks (I hope) so the whole thing is a year and seven month weight loss journey for me. I have been fairly lucky up to now that I haven't had any major plateaus - a couple bad weeks, but still always lost (except for that first week.) So it looks like this is going to be the first time in 24 weeks I will have an actual set-back. Who know maybe tomorrow I will wake up and have lost seven pounds, but I doubt it. As I had said in an earlier blog this is a set point for me and it is going to take some time to get off this weight I think, but I am hoping that once I do it will be easy going for awhile.
I haven't cheated or gone off the diet, but I have been eating more fruit. Keeping within the allowed calories, but I think maybe I have to cut out the supplementing of the fruit, at least for a few weeks, and just eat what they give me. If I find that after I do that I start losing again then maybe I was putting the fruit in wrong. I know weight watchers pretty much lets you eat as much fruit and vegetables as you want, but they still have calories.
I am much hungrier on this part of the diet then I was on the all liquid. I also have not been able to exercise since I started on "real" food. It is a shame that I broke my foot at this time probably when I need the distraction of exercise the most -
Well only tomorrow will tell.
