About the same. Still about 5lbs down. I've been working out twice a week

with a trainer at the gym, and still playing tennis twice a week too, so I'm

hoping that I'm building a little bit of muscle. I've haven't been as

strict as I should be in Phase 2 (the dreaded Girl Scout cookies arrived

this week!), but I've been back on it the past two days.

Thanks for asking!

I found it and what I got out of it was that you've found what works

for you and you're happy with how things are going.

Hence my going overboard. The calorie counter that ann suggested

REALLY spelled it out for me! I was eating like 800 calories just in

nuts!! (I've never tracked my calories like that before.)

this 15 days ago. I only want to lose 15 or so total so I'm pretty

thrilled with that. So, I'll continue on a modified Phase 2, since

it seems to be working. I am definitely eating better, alot more

veggis, no snack food/sweets/sugar, etc., so I am feeling better

too. The main thing I noticed is that I no longer wake up with a

headache every morning.
