Thanks for the info on the food allergies... I think I'm OK, but it's good to know! I pretty much stay away from milk except that I have my 1T of skim milk during P2 and then full cream/half and half in my coffee during P3/P4. I haven't reached my goal but am in P4 and am finding it a huge challenge to stay at LIW! I load for R2 starting Saturday but am currently +6.0 LIW...very frustrating as I stabilized well during P3. I think my culprits tho are water retention from salt and going to bed too soon after eating..... I woke up this a.m. up 2.0lbs! Uggh. Today I'm eating P2 all day with a P3 crustless pizza for dinner--before 8pm! Water all day; hot yoga class this afternoon to sweat. Hopefully tomorrow I can see a 1-1/2 to 2lb loss............. I so badly want to be at LIW before starting R2, but not sure I can get there by Saturday. So anxious to start R2. It will be 4 weeks in P4, following 3 weeks in P3. :-)
