Oh. My. Goodness. I had the chili. I made it with the ground chicken. I was afraid with how large of a portion is made (an entire bowlful!!) but I triple checked my measurements. so. That chili...is the BOMB!!! LOVED IT. so glad i tried it. has anyone tried the onion soup or orange ginger chicken? or maybe the thai steak salad? just wondering.

I had 1/2 a grapefruit a few minutes ago. Man I wish I could have the other half. I love that stuff!

Hope everyone is having a great day and that we are all losers

I'm not doing totally strict protocol. Trying to stick close to it but I'm eating more protein than it says to eat and I'm not measuring my veggies. I'm also using Walden Farms dressings now. Today I had:

Lunch:
Chicken and lettuce in Walden Farms 1000 Island dressing

Dinner:
1/2 bag of Broccoli/Cauliflower mix and chicken dipped in Walden Farms BBQ sauce.

I'm not eating the grissini and last night was the first time I had fruit. I had 1/2 a small container of greek yogurt and about 1/2 cup of mixed frozen berries.

Here's how my days have gone:
11/16 - Load Day 1 - 278.2
11/17 - Load Day 2 - 277.6
11/18 - VLCD1 - 280.2
11/19 - VLCD2 - 277.4 (office pot luck and I ate non-protocol for that lunch)
11/20 - VLCD3 - 275
11/21 - VLCD4 - 272.8 (went to 2 parties and had chips, dip, cheese etc)
11/22 - VLCD5 - 269.2
11/23 - VLCD6 - 266.8

Now on the 2 cheats I did try and not eat very much to keep the calories as low as possible. I plan on eating normal food for Thanksgiving dinner, too.

So we'll see but so far, pleased with the results!!

WTG Arbycat! That is a great loss! I am STILL swinging back and forth on the Tday thing. when I was picking up the pies and rolls and stuff and sugar curing the ham I was thinking "jeeze it is only a month till christmas and P4, I can eat all of this then" Only now DH wants turkey for christmas I will just have to whack off a piece of ham and freeze it for myself for Christmas
That is if I don't give in tomorrow. I think I will waver all the way up to the point where we eat.
I have a 100 things I could do with a baby free day, so I could spend most of the day upstairs cleaning my room, THAT would keep me busy. You know that room where you put all the stuff no one is using/wearing? THAT is my bedroom.
I guess we will see...

I am down another ouun for a total of 12.8 on VLCD10.

Arbycat... I've never seen results like yours. Those are FANTASTIC!!!
Are you injecting or doing the drops? If you are doing the drops, can you tell me which kind? Do not mention where you bought them though because that is against LCF rules.

THANKS AND CONGRATS! You must be soooo excited!

so I was down .8 this morning...and I am going ahead and confessing my sins...I am going to have a wrap at lunch today. My salon owner is buying lunch and I am just gonna deal with it. I walked 2.4 miles last night and it felt great...did I mention I did this while my family sat at the table and ate mcdonalds...gotta love them.
I expect a gain tomorrow since I am having this wrap...sigh...but I will just get back on track on Friday. I also am still trying to decide if my stuff has gone bad
I hope all of you folks have had a great weigh in today and that you fight the urges..un like me

Down to 146.0 today
I am so shocked at these drops! Who would have thought this would really work. And I'm not even hungry except when it is time to eat. I am at a 9 pound loss on Day 10. I measured and the only real difference is in my butt measurement by 1 inch. But (pun intended), I will take it!

Still hoping for 145.anything tomorrow. Then I will decide what to do when the Turkey Day Festivities begin. I bought a pumpkin pie for dessert since I don't like it. Maybe if need be, I will make an LC dessert of some kind- Any ideas?

Hoping you all are doing great and chugging along! We are almost half way there.(if you are doing the 23 day program)

A bit disappointed. I gained .6 of a pound.

I was soooo on target tooo! I was 146 before dinner. (I was changing clothes and jumped on). I was like YES I will be 145 for Thanksgiving - that was my goal.

We ended up at Buffalo Wild Wings and I got their naked chicken tenders and ate 6 of them. Way too much protein. I used their medium hot sauce for dipping but it may have had sugar in it, I'm not sure. I ordered a side salad (ate half) with bleu cheese dressing but maybe that had sugar in it too. I also ate 2 of dd's skinny fries and I know that isn't good.

I was soooo close and screwed it up even though I thought I was being really good! Normally I can eat 12 wings with Asian Zing and still be hungry.


Oh well... how did everyone else do?
And HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am down 1.4 pounds for a total of 14.2. I am so close to being at 15 pounds lost that I can almost taste it. Still, I have decised that I am going to eat with y family. One meal, the whole shebang, then back on protocol. I have no Idea how much damage that will do, but I am going to enjoy the day. Might mean I add another few days or a week onto the end of my P2 though. AT least as many days as it takes me to get back down to this point. Who knows, I sure at a lot on my load days and didn't gain.

I think your weight loss is astounding and your body is definitely agreeing with the HCG so I can't see the harm in enjoying today. If I had reached my goal of 145 today, I would be enjoying it too.

I did enjoy And only a really little bit of everything except dessert, didn't even want that as the sweet potato casserole was very dessert like. And I am SO full that it is almost uncomfortable. My tummy has shrunk so much, I knew I wouldn't be abe to eat much.


Supper wil be chicken and cucumbers. Will likely skip the evening fruit.

Will drink a LOT of water to help flush things out.

It was just DH and I for lunch since the boy is still in bed and Kate and Matt and the baby are coming over later, after they have late lunch/early supper with his family.

I am back to where I was on Monday!!!!! I lost 4 days of hard work!
That hurts! TMI WARNING!!!! Honestly, if I could just go #2 I think I could lose it!

Back on track today!!!!
Had my apple, then burger patty with tomato slices.

Tonight will probably chicken and celery.

Molly~ when do you take your drops? Just curious...

Mereby~ I've never done a steak day but doesn't the upward trend need to continue for a couple of days before you try it? I really have no clue. Your stats are great though and I think these extra pounds will fall off once you get back to normal eating.

Arbycat and Jabbok~ did you survive Thanksgiving?

I try to stick as close as I can to a 9am, 2pm, 7pm schedule. It can vary by an hour or so though because I am terrible about forgetting not to take a big drink of water especially when I am trying to get a lot of water down.

I think PMS is creeping in. I am a little snippy today and my boobs hurt. A little urge for chocolate~even SF chocolate~I don't feel hungrier though.

The SF chocolate might not be a bad idea, getting things moving

hmm...I was told that if you went off diet you were supposed to do steak day. All I know is I cannot believe that I lost that much headway! UGH. Of course I also have the fear that my "magic potion" has gone bad. I will just walk a few miles tonight when I get home. Maybe 2-3....we shall see

Hmm I thought the steak day was if you went off for a couple of days. I will see how I do on the scale tomorrow. If it isn't a good loss I will maybe pick up a steak tomorrow. What is a good not too fatty one?

I think i grab the organic (called greenwise at my supermarket) sirloin. just look for one without a lot of marbling or fat. i also drank another cup of dieters tea tonight. its astounding that i am back up 4+ pounds. i am so tired of peeing tonight but know its good for me. hope to have positive results in the morning. does anyone know if i can take benadryl? my allergies are driving me nuts!

I am freaking out! I am almost out of drops and my order will not be here til Monday or Tuesday! I have a feeling DH took a couple of doses because I had a half a bottle on Wednesday!

I am not sure what to do. I think I may have a dropperful left and just take like 5 drops this morning and 5 later and try to be as good as possible on Sunday.
And then hopefully they will be here Monday.

I almost ordered them early last week but didn't want to go grab my credit card.
Now I am paying the price!!!

for real, the hardest part on this plan is not being able to use my good strong sturdy flat tooth floss! The only non flavored I can find is the skinny string kind.

It is only a 1 oz bottle. Maybe you have a 2 oz bottle. I dose 3 x a day at 10 drops each time. However, my DH used one oz for his whole round and only ran out at the end so that is why I didn't order early. I did use the rest of his 2nd bottle so maybe there was even less than 1 oz when I started.
Tonight is my last dose and I don't know what I'm gonna do.

If they get here Monday or even Tuesday, just stay VLC as you are doing.

I think you are going to be fine if the drops gethere promptly.

Can you track them?

I am here but my drops ran out on Saturday so I am just in limbo. Trying not to gain any weight and patiently waiting for my drops to come! I hope they get here Monday I can't believe I ran out.

It is like your gas tank...once you get past the half way point, it empties faster.
