"The panic is gone! Bring on the holidays!"
Almost two months on P3… and I have lost an extra pound. Usually I gain 3 to 4 lbs. back right away and prepare mentally for that. I did do one steak day, but at this point I am still down, and holding to that extra 1 lb lost. I am so grateful to you for all your effort. I am eating your delicious recipes, but also eating out once in a while. The panic is gone!! Bring on the Holidays?? Thank you.
2nd email some days later...
Good morning!! I just want to say… The recipes so far are absolutely delicious!! I'm always a nervous wreck moving to P3 and always blow it. Your plans are SO helpful!! I'm not strict to the food plans, but I could be!! I have never done so well!! I have lots of new and old stress in my life that would normally have me wringing my hands, but I feel like I can keep my dignity this time. Maybe… I won't be HCG dependent anymore?????? Thank You for all your efforts!! In these crazy, unsettling times….I feel like I have some control at least over my weight.
3rd email even more days later....
Things are still happily going very well, and I really appreciate everything you have done to make life more enjoyable for all of us. Your tip about cutting out 'safe' nuts and cheese seems to be my Ace!! Thank you!
