Move to phase 2?

[LosingItNow]

Today is day 15 for me and should be the first day on phase 2. I lost 6 lbs in the first week and .8 lb in the second week. Since my loss in the second week was really little, I am wondering if I should just hold off? Or is it best to go to phase 2?

Anyone else lose a small amount of weight the second weight, yet move on to phase 2?

I actually prefer to move to phase 2, but do not want to make a bad choice.

I keep thinking that eating an apple a day cannot be a bad choice, but wanted to get input.
Thanks!

Move to P2. Your work in P1 is done as the prep phase for the main part of the program which is P2. There is no guarantee that staying in P1 longer will allow you to lose any more weight than if you move to P2. Your pattern of loss is very typical, and don't expect much more weight loss in the first couple weeks of P2 either. If it happens great! But just focus on rebuilding your eating habits and paying attention to hunger patterns as you introduce new foods and begin to build in starches and fruits into a balanced healthy diet.

And try to pair some protein and/or good fats with the apple. Fruit and cheese or an apple with nuts or nut butters are always popular options! The added proteins and/or fats will slow the absorption of the newly introduced carb sources and hopefully help prevent any sharp hunger pangs afterwards.

Thanks for the response. I did move to phase 2, had my granny smith apple with a stick of lf moz yesterday for my last snack/desert.
