Not yet begun the UltraSimple Diet 
I finished week 8 of UM today. I lost 9.8 pounds and a couple of inches on both my waist and hips. I'm looking forward to moving on following the guidlines I learned while doing UM. I have great support from my husband, who has helped keep me on track during the preceding 8 weeks. When I felt like I was at a stand still, he encouraged me to eat right. I've learned there are some foods that cause me problems and to aviod those. It's been interesting learning that some of the things I had been eating were causing harm to my body. If anyone else has finished UM and has words of wisdom, I'd appreciate hearing from you.

Congratulations on your success. it is great to have such a good support network and to see the people in your life apply some of the habits too. I am glad to hear that you are going to continue the healthy eating, even if your not as concerned about losing weight. The great thing about this plan is that your body will find a level that is good for you. If your BMI is in the normal range, then you can just go for maintenance. You should be really proud that you made it through the stressfull time during your husbands surgery without cheating, which actually helped you because your blood sugars were stable and kept you calmer.
Just to let your know, I am excieted today, since I have lost another 2lbs even over the weekend, which is usually my down fall, and my job search has reaped an interview. We'll see, but I am hopeful even if I start part-time. This employer could be such a great place to work, especially while I strive for a healthier lifestyle.
One day at a time to a healthier life.
