Hi!  

I am happy to say I am feeling better all the time, and will be continuing on with the UltraSimple Diet on a week-by-week basis until I think it is the right time to switch to the UltraMetabolism Diet.  I lost 5.5 pounds getting prepared to do the diet the week before, and then lost another 9.5 pounds in this past week.   I feel better and am not having my usual constant food cravings at all after the first 2-3 days. 

This diet is very easy to follow, and I look forward to being back down to a reasonable, healthy weight after many years of being more than 80 pounds overweight.  I am realizing how much of an effect STRESS has been having on my life- out of 6 members in our family, 3 have severe mental health issues which put me pretty much on edge a good deal of the time.  I am making a conscious effort to relax and be really good to myself, and will do my darnedest to get to my target weight.  I realize that the stress factor will be a major issue to my success, and I will have to acknowledge when the stressors are emerging, and just handle this one day at a time, one stressor at a time, and not allow that to undermine ME!

Just wondering how it has been going for you?  I did the US diet for 2 weeks and then started UM.  Now I am on week 8 of UM and wondering what to do next.  I was wondering how a few of you who are continuing are doing. 

I like the way you decided to take one stressor at a time.  It seems very "present" to me.  How is that going?

Things are going pretty well, all things considered. I have been doing UltraWellness of late, and lost a couple more pounds but then have plateaued here for a while. I am thinking it might be good for me to go back to UltraSimple Diet for a week or two again, starting next week to jump start myself again. I have been finding it pretty easy to stick to the basic UW plan without straying too far, though.

I have been experiencing more stresses here with family again- which seemingly happens fairly cyclically. I think that is where the plateau in the weight is coming from, actually. That and the fact that when other family members cook, they tend to use too much salt for me...

A wonderful bonus to this is the fact that my sons have been becoming much more aware their well being hinges on what they are eating too. They've been having the Ultrashakes with me, as well as other wonderfully nutritious foods and are finding it to be very beneficial. Hubby is another story, however...

Hope all goes well with you, summertime! I think if you just keep on keeping on, you'll be fine with the plan. I think it just take a certain amount of time to get it all down, get the body accustomed to a different diet, and learn to deal with stress effectively.

Take care, and look forward to another exchange with you and anybody else who is hanging out here on this forum!

I just read your answer to my question.  I have no idea how to manage these conversations on-line.  I didn't know you had responded because I've no idea how to track things.  Thanks for your comments.  When I think where I was at the beginning of this year and the changes I have made with this program, I have accomplished miracles.  The greatest one is the feeling of hope and support I have experienced through the new practices and the connection with others that this website provides.  Thank you so much for responding. I will put you on my buddy list and will contact you in future.
