leanne - how distressing to have the scale at the doctor's office be off by such a large amount. I'm also sorry you'll be starting meds. Like you said, maybe once you get to goal, you won't have to take them anymore. Please take care of yourself!
Vicki - woohoo on the 4 pounds! I don't think it's a problem not to have certain foods (eggs for example) for breakfast every morning. I have them most mornings but it's because they tend to keep me more satisfied until snack time than on the days I don't eat eggs. But I think if ate them every day I'd get tired of them. About the water, there are two camps on this subject, I'm of the thought that nothing is like water except water but I know there are those that feel any liquid (including tea) counts toward your water intake. See if having the tea helps or hinders your weight loss. I think that's your best gauge. I'm glad my tips are helpful.
Cris - thanks for the link. I've gotta try making my own cheesecake again one of these days. My one and only attempt when I first started SBD wasn't all that great.
MickeyMagic - I have to admit the first six months on SBD, the weight just seemed to melt off me but now I have to fight for it. Nothing major just watching things that I could take for granted before like I used to be able to eat late and eat larger portions plus have my sugar free treats liberally. Not anymore. But I really do feel this program has been a godsend for me and my husband. I can't speak highly of it enough! Congrats to you for staying on Phase 1 an extra week. You will love Phase 2!
