I've lost only 12 pounds, have at least 60 more to go but suddenly I've been changed to Next Phase where it keeps talking about Calorie Gaps if I return to my old eating habits.  Why would I return to my eating habits???  Am I at Next Phase simply because you guys ran out of steps?  I don't mind seeing repeats.  I do not want to Restart because then I lose credit for the weight I've lost so far.  What's up?

 When you are prompted to go into nextphase you can select to go back to the regular myalliplan and start at any step.

You will not lose credit for the weight you've already lost. Your progress charts will all still show your past weight loss, and you can also edit your start weight in "myalliplan details" to reflect your original start weight.

"When you are prompted to go into nextphase you can select to go back to the regular myalliplan"

It's already switched me to Next Phase last time I checked in....and, I have not met my goal (or even the "mini-goal" it suggested.  How do I switch back to the regular plan????

On your nextphase home page is a link to restart with myalliplan. It is in the bottom, right-hand corner.

Thanks.  But, I thought that wioped out your original weight, progress graphs, etc??  I don't want that to happen.

 Your progress charts should stlil match the imformation you entered in your previous check-ins.

 I'm going to let someone else try and let me know.  I know someone here who "re-started" and shows she only lost 3 lbs when she's lost over 50.  That would be very discouraging to me.  So unless I can be guaranteed it works, I'm not going to test my luck.  If someone else does it, please post so I'll know. 

But this hasn't really answered why it puts me in Next Phase and acts like I'm going back to my old eating habits if I am no where near my goal.  Also, I'm pretty sure I didn't get any choices when it happened.

 I had the same thing happen to me... read the info here and decided to be brave and switch back to restart, and the mods are definitely right... though it did put my start weight at my current weight, I was able to change it back under "edit goals" and my progress chart remains unchanged. I lost this weeks check-in (which didn't appear anyway even before I changed back to restart... my check in skipped a week when Alli put me into Next Phase...) but other than that, no ill effects. It appears you can just keep repeating the steps and maintain your weight loss record until you reach your goal weight. Good luck!

Thanks for being brave!  I'll try it then.
