We are really close in weight. I am 147.0 this morning (mind I was 146 on Sunday morning before my OOPS).... but my goal is 135. How tall are you?

I am 5'4" and a medium frame. My doctor said that 140 would be a good healthy weight for me. I am less than a year away from 40 and I have no desire to be "skinny", just want to be comfortable in my size 8 jeans. If I can maintain the loss, I might try for another 10 lbs in the fall.

I will get there before this round is done. I am determined to stick to this round until goal so that I can do my 3 or 4 weeks of P3 and then move onto P4 for the summer. I'm hoping to reach goal in a couple of weeks so that I am in P4 by mid June but I will take it one day at a time.

Woohoo! You are so close to goal........

[LoneStargal]

Yippee P3, I am in heaven! Fried eggs in butter, sausage and cocoa almonds. Life is good.
Today I went shopping and fit into size 8 pants and size medium shirts. I am 5'8 so even at my skinniest I was never a tiny size. Still could not believe I fit into size 8. So happy. Son's graduation from college on Saturday, lots of different graduation parties for him and friends of his, family reunion in June and cruise in June and feeling so much better about going to all these places with my new body.
Everyone out there still dieting, keep it up, it is so worth it!

I've been having a crazy round and feeling sorry for myself. Still losing tho slowly.

I am stubborn so I refuse to give up and hope that when my period (AGAIN!) passes it will take some water weight and a few pounds with it!

You have done so well along the way, it will leave!

Can you have too many cats? I don't think so!

[Stampe63]

Cat astrophic u girls are crazy

Nothing new on the western front, all goes like clockwork so far, 2 days left to first week finished of the P3, and the small fluktuations I can live with.

[shelbyla]

I have decided that I need to stop reading the P3 threads. And anything else that talks about loading or favorite non-P2 recipes. One more week til LDW...one more week til LDW...one more week til LDW...

Me too! 5'4", medium frame, and turning 40 in February. I figured I would feel bad enough turning 40, at least I could look good! (Although I wouldn't mind getting down to the mid 120s for old times sake.

Had my 3rd shot today so the hcg should be actually starting to work now. That'll be nice

Woo Hoo C'Marie! Right on, you are doing so well. I was so happy when my rings started spinning a little.

Feeling dizzy seated or standing, what a horrid feeling. Took some potassium but am not sure if it's the correct type.

Aw, that isn't good that you feel it seated too. I don't know what correct type of potassium there is to take. I just got some at the health food store and made sure there wasn't any added sugar or starch in it. What are the mg on them? If they are only 99 like mine, you'll want to take more than one.

Here I come tomorrow!!!!!! I'm nervous but so so so excited and happy. Oh I just looked at your stats. That is fantastic for 5'8". I'm a smidge over so I dunno if I should say I'm 5'9" or 5'8" but I'd be stoked to be in the 160s, let alone the 150s!

[torister]

Well, today is my first day without a shot. I am down a whole 0.1 lbs. LOL! Oh how that scale taunts me. I have not slept well the last two nights and maybe that is catching up with me. No worries. Better than a gain. P3 here I come!!

[Charms]

Congrats to those of you closing in on goal! And to those of you who are entering P3. Color me jealous LOL

The whoosh fairy came for a visit and i am down 2 pounds. I finally feel like I'm making a bit of progress on this round!

For my 40th birthday last year I was in a bikini Pictures are floating around this hcg forum somewhere. My birthday is the 16th of July. I will see if I can post a link to it. I never in my life wore a bikini in public. You can tell I am not bone skinny either. I am 5'4" (on a good day ) and my goal is 115. I have reached it 3 times and life just gets in the way. I am working my way back to it this round. I can settle for a LDW of 120, but anything higher on the scale and I don't feel comfortable.

CONGRATULATIONS!! This round has been so weird for me both with the weight loss and the mental part of it. I am so ready for a P3 bfast Saturday morning!! Hopefully my next P2 me head is in a better spot. I don't love P2 by any stretch, but I usually tolerate it better than I have this round.

[Charms]

The interuption I had to take when I had that chest infection totally screwed me up this round. Partly mental and partly recovering from the steroids. Now it's just a matter of keeping my head in the game. I "could" finish this round the end of next week but I'd like to try to go a bit further, especially if I'm finally losing. We'll see....

You did great this round Torister, weird and all

I did OK. Part of that loss is my weight gain from my week of FUN with my friends the week before I started this round, plus loading. So, not as good as it looks, but I did lose the weight....even if I just put it back ON the week before.

This is why I'm only tracking total pounds lost. Otherwise I confuse myself. (Not that it takes much )

I hear ya. I am not confused about it. It is easier since I make note of the higher weight in my journal.

[shelbyla]

Good going torister! I'm jealous of your P3--I hear the water's just fine over there! Have much fun and enjoy your first foods...

Down a full pound this morning and past my meds blip last Sunday. I swear I have had a very challenging round. Between the random huge drops, the jumps up for no real reason, the recovery from the jumps up, the forgetting meds and screwing myself up that way, the deactivated drops mid-round--my head is spinning! I have set another mini-goal for myself of 153 which is 2.8 pounds away. I'd like to see that by next Wednesday at the latest but in any case that is the last possible day for LDW. If I hit it earlier, I make make LDD sometime this weekend but we'll see how it goes. This has been quite a hellish round for a few of us! I'll sure be glad to see the back of it and hit P3 running. Oooooo...avocados and chicken thighs!

[jabbok]

I am still here in P3 my weight has hovered around 4 pounds above my window but seems to bounce around so I am 6 pounds above ldw.

I can move into P4 but I think I will go another week in P3 to see if I can bring it down again, I am down 1 pound from yesterday so I am 5 pounds above ldw.

The last 2 days I have added in alot of cream to bring up my caloires and fat so that may have something to do with the weight loss in the last couple of days.

Congrats to everyone who is losing on P2 and to everyone who is stable on P3 and P4.

I saw the pic and you look fantastic. You are very pretty.

115 on me would look horrible, my face gets really sunken in and I look like I've had an illness or something. I also have a lot of muscle from my love of hiking, canoeing, and everything outdoorsy so I feel I look better at a higher weight. Plus I wanted to pick a weight that I don't have to struggle to maintain.

I turn 40 in March, so we are really close to the same age. My son gets married next Feb and I want to look good at the wedding because my ex will be there and I haven't seen him in about 12 years.

[catr31]

I forgot to add, no loss for me today. I'm a little bummed but I am wearing a pair of jeans today that I couldn't wear a couple of weeks ago. I'll be drinking tons of water today to try and flush out some more water weight I'm holding on to.

[catjrow3]

Morning everyone!

Peggy - yeah for no shot day! Enjoy your P3!!

Shelby, great job on the 1 lb!! Wish the darn fairy would come my way!!

Charms, congrats on the loss, glad things are looking better now this round!

Dawn - nice bikini! I have so many stretch marks, even if I got to a low weight, dont think I could ever wear one!! (at least in public) LOL

Jabbok - sorry your bouncing around, I hope you find your stride soon!

catr31 - I just turned 40 too (in November, so about 6 months ago), so we are close in age too!! LOL

Bjorn - sounds like smooth sailing... enjoy it!!

So I was down only 0.6 this morning. Its taunting me, still 0.4 above what I was on Sunday! Maybe tomorrow I will be at least where I was... will this gain ever go away??? I want new losses and I have only 14 more days left!!! (if I can take it that long!)

[TwinMama]

Morning gals!

I'm in P3 and a bit nervous about it. Haha I don't know why but just am a little. It's like being let out of jail and not knowing exactly what to do. ..like I don't want to make a wrong move (i.e. put the wrong thing in my mouth.) Hurry up you familiar faces and come over!

Dawn - Thanks for sharing your pictures, you look great! Ah, to have skinny legs like that. I have a bunch of muscle too like catr31.

Cathy - I just turned 38 a couple months ago so 40 is right around the corner for me too. Sounds like we are all similar height and age on here.

Shelby - While you might have had a wonky round, it sure sounded like a successful one!

Peggy - What are you going to eat Saturday? Give me some ideas. :P Or should we not talk about that in this thread. The P3/P4 thread seems a little slow and I dont' know anyone!

Charms - Woo Hoo with such a great loss!!! KUTGW!
