    I totally agree with Colleen, I started my second round and was not mentally ready for it. I had the hardest time (mentally) cravings were horrible. I made it through but man was it hard, I stopped at 23 days (just couldn't do it anymore).

    Thanks Grammy and Tambo. I think it is a good idea to be mentally and emotionally ready for another round. I am usually quite the planner and like my schedule "scheduled." One of the things this diet has taught me is that I cannot always have everything planned and all does not always go as planned. Of course, I'm still working on this......
    But, I am checking in with myself daily and we'll see where I'm at in a couple of weeks. One of the hard things is that I like the food in P3 and 4 and I'm eating in a way that is workable for me. It's the limited choices in food in P2 that I'm not sure I'm ready for yet.

    I feel very ready. I am so eager to see more weight come off. I've done pretty well in my P3/P4, but I'm ready for a little routine in my life again. I just started a screwy schedule, and I crave the monotonous habit of P2. I think it would actually be beneficial at the moment because it's one less thing to think about or worry about. My only real concern about myself is the getting cocky part, like lms1981 said. Knowing myself, I'd probably start thinking I was hot stuff and not be more aware of what I should be doing. Hmm. Best to read up on the "Pounds and Inches" manual again, if I know what's good for me.

    I feel very ready too and like you Hachi, I crave the monotony of P2. While it was though at times, I'm bored with eating in P3. I've introduced all meats and the P3 veggies and just don't look at food the same way anymore. I did a long P2 last time and it really did break me of the habit of turning to food when I'm bored or for comfort. So, why not go back to structured eating and get some more results. :)

    My LIW was 161.5, after my 72 hrs I was at 159, today I weighed in at 157.5. I've been holding around 158.5-159.5 so not sure why I went down a pound from yesterday (I even had a cupcake yesterday with buttercream frosting - all P3 approved ingredients). So, I think my body is wanting to head down to an old set point of 153. ? I'm going on vacation tonight to MN until Sunday so I'm sure I'll gain/retain over the next few days since I won't be on MY schedule, but won't sabataoge anything. Like I said, I'm bored with eating and don't find the "joy" in it I used to. I'll check back in when I get back, but yep, Round 2 starts next Friday! Let the injections begin!
