Haha! I don't mean physically I mean mentally! Everyday I wake up and feel positive that today I will make good in roads into my weight loss. I feel strong and happy in my decision to stick with CD 100%. I have my first pack for breakfast- all is still good. Then boom, like clockwork- between...

Can someone please advise me as I am getting conflicting information. My understanding was that you could ss and ss+ until your bmi hit 25. Then you had to move up to 810 till you reached your goal weight but your bmi does not go under 20. Last night my CDC advised I could ss+ until I reached...
