I'm new with this diet and I thank you all for all the posting. I've read the CAD book and done it before with poor results. I'm trying CALP now, and I'm about to receive the book (can't wait!) Until I do get it, I'm following the guidelines that I've been able to read from here. I'm very excited about it!

Thank you Wawtigress for all the info you share. I find it very helpful. For example, I didn't know that one could skip lunch. I wasn't hungry today. I ate lunch because I thought I "had" to...So, that's good to know. Also, I thought maybe I could skip the reward meal, but I read that you said never to do that! So, I'm taking notes here, thanks!

Anything else that you can share to speed up the loss? (I'd love to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week!) What else?? Tell me! Tell me!
