Well, today is day 15, and although I had a couple of minor slips, I have managed to lose 8.4 pounds.  I still have not worked out, but am planning to tonight when I take my daughter to gymnastics.  Until last night, I had not been able to go to the bathroom, so I was kind of miserable.  With a little help from Miralax, I was finally able to unclog my pipes.  I went 4 or 5 days without losing any weight, but I think that it was because I was not eating ALL of my meals.  I was averaging between 500 - 600 calories a day and I think that my body went in to starvation mode.  I increased my eating and the weight started coming off again.  I am really looking forward to starting phase 2, but I think that I may stay on phase 1 for a few extra days, to make up for those days that I wasn't eating.  I was a little disappointed with my weight loss number, until I put in to perspective that it was a 4 pound loss per week, which is good.  I am also not extremely overweight...30 - 40 pounds, so I am not going to lose at the same rate as someone who is 100 or more pounds overweight.  I do have a question though...when does the energy kick in?  I am still pretty lethargic, which is one reason why I haven't worked out.  Several people talk about how much more energetic they are feeling.  No signs here, yet.
