I guess I'd like to be a lot closer to my goal before experimenting.

I have read the discussion back and forth between the extended induction camp and the OWL camp, and so yes - I do intend to move more deeply to OWL eventually, without a doubt.

You say you lost nothing last time. Were you following the program to a T? I find it difficult to believe that eating this way you wouldn't lose a thing. At any rate, I'm happy to see you have read and informed yourself about the benefits of OWL.

No, I don't think I was as well informed the first time. I have actually gotten a lot more specific inquiry information from the boards than I did from the book, so second time around things seem much smoother, and the support has gone a long way towards preventing cheating. I am exercising more this time around, and watching portion sizes too. All in all, a cleaner experience.

I took photos, but they didn't reduce well, so I will fool with those a bit and then post.
