The beginning.....pain not point in addressing that. Today is the first day. Weight - 253 lb. that's alot...not the most I have ever weighed, but weigh/way too much. My plan is to check in daily with how I am feeling physically and emotionally and weigh myself every Sunday. Mood relatively happy.

I am following the Level III plan. That allows me one open meal a week.....that means I can have anything I want for that one meal....but it doesn't mean to go crazy, like a half cup of Ben & Jerry's not a quart. It also means i am to restrict or eliminate all the transitional foods, except during the open meal. This is the highest level...I choose this because it will maximize the health benefits, for weight loss and autoimmune illness.
