How long has it been since you last did the SBD? You mention that you lost 20 pounds and all BUT 5-9 pounds of it back (interesting choice of numbers) so losing less this time around makes sense. Remember too that the last 10 or so pounds takes more time to lose. If you lost twenty, gained back 15, and have lost another 4, that puts you right back at 11 pounds over -- basically the final 10 pounds. You mention adding back brown rice and whole wheat pasta -- that's quite a double whammy for just re-entering phase 2. Even the plan only recommends adding back 1 starch and 1 fruit. One of the key things in P2 is testing the waters with what you eat and backing away from things that stymie your weight loss efforts. Something that might be worth trying -- phase 1.5. The typical phase 1.5 is phase 1 plus a piece of fruit during the day. A lot of folks do this and find it works out well for them. And of course, you'll want to be patient. The second time around the weight will probably come off a tad slower and things seem to be a bit different the second bout as well. With only 11 pounds more to go (or less) you'll get there -- it might just take a couple of months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
