P2 Week of 05/09/11

[shelbyla]

New thread for the new week! I know we've got a lot of newbies joining this week so...ready, set, GO!

[catjrow3]

Marking My spot on this one too!!

[catkin]

Today is my R2VLCD1 and I am a Shelby wannabe!

I'm starting out @ 152, gained 3 pounds loading (hello cheesecake!)--let the losing begin!

[Agee]

Welcome all newbies! I bet you'll do great.
I'm up .6 but I know exactly why...a little bit of off plan eating (not terrible, just some steak) and not enough water + Berenice, hello? where are you? and I'm surprised it's not more.
I have 2 or 3 weeks to go and I need to get back to being very serious! Someone please give me a spanking or something. I really, really, really want to hit the 140s by the end of the month. I know I can do it if I get serious!

VLCD18 and I am up 0.4 this AM. No clue why. Bernice hasn't stopped by in days in spite of my taking my magnesium supplement. Oh well, I know I am sticking to protocol and this just confirms that while I thought I might do an extra week in P2 this round, but no way. I can't get to Saturday fast enough to start P3!!

[LoosinItNow]

VLCD4 and am up 1.2 lbs. TOM is knocking at the door, though. Also, I ate some okra popcorn yesterday, so from now on that will be a no-no! Hope everyone else will woosh away!

[Lil Donna]

Back again for another round of P2. Wanting to lose the 9 lbs I gained and 10 more.

Skinny for Summer is going to be my motto! I can't wait!

B: Large fuji apple
L: chicken and celery
D: steak, radishes, 1/2 grapefruit

Going to weigh myself now and freak out over how much I loaded this weekend.

GOOD LUCK TO US ALL!!!

[Mackenzie]

Today is vlcd1 and I'm down 3.8 lbs from loading this weekend. Now the fun begins..........

[shelbyla]

Up a little today but not a big surprise after the losses of the last few days. Plus yesterday I completely forgot not one, but TWO of my thyroid/adrenal med doses!!! I canNOT seem to keep up with those on the weekends! Oh, well, it's not "real" weight and it will be off soon enough.

Have a great week everyone!

[MagieDen]

Day #15 for me and down so far a total of 15 lbs. First week was great, but this past week ehhh not so great but I WILL TAKE IT!!!!!

Week before TOM, not looking forward to it.

[catjrow3]

Boo... I was bad last night, after being soo good all day, plenty of exercise and mostly after the "family" dinner fell into a grilled cheese??? and a klondike bar... UGH!! Up 3 pounds... (hanging my head is shame), I have been spot on no cheats...where the heck did that come from??? I hope most of that is water!!! And gone in a few days, but as usual a bit of self sabatoge for me!! Sounds like the losses are slim this morning, but mine is self induced. Good luck to the rest of you still to weigh in!!

Pick yourself up, brush yourself off and get back on the diet!

[catjrow3]

I could be wrong not 100% sure, but I dont think you can use rice vinegar..

You can use hot sauce, just check labels for no sugar... i know franks hot sauce is okay.

At the top left of the screen, there is a "user control panel" click on that, then in the left menu, mid way down, it says signature. You can add it there (add your name, it helps us to know what to call you!!) You can also add a picture (avatar) and stats (under edit details) all on the left menu too!

I use Frank's Hot Sauce every night in P2 on my sauteed cabbage and ground chicken meal. YUM!

Peggy what about rice vinegar? I said I did not think so, but not 100% sure..

[lovebeingmom]

mine doesn't have signature weird

under profile: edit your profile, profile private, edit profile picture

then networking: contacts and ffriends, pictures and avatars

setting and options: it has avatar, email & password, options, ignore list

subscriptions and Misc.

NO SIGNATURE at all.

hmmmm weird

thanks about the hot sauce info

[catjrow3]

Under settings and options? Hmm, maybe you have to post a number of times before it shows up??? Mine is right under avatar and before email & password

[BigBravesGirl]

I'm on R1VLCD8, down 15 so far to 359.9. I was down to 358.5 yesterday, but evidently, Greek yogurt and strawberries aren't going to work for me in P2.

So, back to my goulash and my chicken chili. I know that works!

I don't know. Thinking no since rice is a grain, but I can't say for certain.

It should be right there with the avatar. Maybe ask at the help desk.

Question of the moment:
Should I buy a new bathing suit NOW or should I wait until the end of the month?
I know - bathing suit shopping is terrible, but my current suits don't fit me at all and it is likely that I may have to appear in public in one by June 1. My mom belongs to a pool and she always asks us opening day. I have kids, it's hot in NC, etc. etc. I have no way to avoid it.
Maybe I should just go to Target and get an interim suit?
I want a couple new ones from LLBean, but maybe cheaper for now?
Yucko. Can't wait to look decent in a suit, although my legs are kind of droopy. Better droopy than fat and droopy, right?

Maybe you have to have a certain amount of post?
