hi all! I have been SB on and off for about a year. Been on Phase II for about 3 weeks now and haven't lost anything,but have maintained the 11 lost on Phase I. Anyone have any ideas? I Zumba 2 x a week, do interval walking at least 2 ( for and hour and a half) and try to strength train 2 x weekly. I am 55 and lost 65 lbs within the past 5 years (WW helped). I am in it for the long haul ( ie, the rest of my life)...sometimes hard to be patient. That's pretty much me in a nutshell.

How many servings of grains/starchy veggies and fruits have you added back in so far? very typical to plateau a bit as we transition to P2. sometimes just maintaining your P1 losses is an accomplishment! Typically it is a good idea to add back in 1 serving a week of one or the other, so the 3rd week would have you with 2 grains/starchy veggies and 1 fruit OR 2 fruits and 1 grain/starchy veggie. And usually better to save flour based grains like breads, tortillas, pita, english muffins, etc. to later in the P2 transition. posting a typical daily P2 menu in the P2 forum here might help as well. good luck!
