Hi Laurie, welcome!

I'm wondering what you mean by New to the Program, but on Step 5. I ask because we like to take things one step at a time, and if you tried getting all 5 steps in at once, it won't be working to heal your brain and mind. For example, if you haven't mastered Step 3 and aren't getting all your protein in during the day, the potato will not have a chance to do what it's supposed to do.
I definitely agree with Kathleen - joining in on "what's embedded in the steps" might help. I haven't taken the actual class, but I do have her CD's on it and they made the program much more clear.
Take care,
Dodi
